Introduction to the Sacred Practice
Before the wipe, when the rust server is wiped clean, there is but one way to prepare: edging. Not just a physical practice, but a spiritual one, meant to focus your mind, steel your will, and delay gratification until the moment when you can unleash your fury upon the wasteland.

This is a sacred art, meant to be practiced like a prayer—patiently, deliberately, and with purpose. By delaying your own release, you ready yourself for the Rust wipe that promises both chaos and rebirth.

The Holy Steps of Edging: A Pre-Wipe Ritual
1. Prepare Thy Body and Mind
Before the wipe, remove all distractions. You must be one with your intentions. Close all unnecessary tabs, set your mic to “push-to-talk,” and ensure your squad knows you are entering a state of meditation and focus.

Physical readiness: Hydrate. Sit in a comfortable chair. Stretch your fingers—there are long hours of clicking ahead.
Mental focus: Visualize the barren wasteland. Imagine your stone tools turning into AKs, your shacks turning into fortresses.
2. The First Approach: Engage, But Hold Back
Enter the server as you normally would. Farm, scavenge, engage in small skirmishes. But remember, you must hold back. The time for full conquest has not yet come. Just as with the physical practice of edging, your goal here is to get close to success, but stop yourself before you fully unleash.

Farm nodes with your stone tools—but don't go for that 10k sulfur jackpot just yet.
Scout enemy bases, but don't raid them. Not yet. Patience is key, young grasshopper.
