In that vein, something I noticed once I got the hang of prepping as a warrior was that my most important duels happened around those prep spots. There's only a handful of spots a warrior can reliably gather preps efficiently. The meta around when that tough warrior is hurt fighting a tough mob for preps is so complex. Especially because they are limited. With Hralpelk I killed basically every elite blade at a certain aura potion location. But then I also got railed by some too when I was trying to gather that prep.
