When do things stop for a newbie?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 6 exp (3425 xp) is the last time you can sleep in the bedroom in the haunted manor. Level 5 is the last level that you can shake wasp nest in Ravel. ? Level 5? is the last time Willim will give you free equipment ? At about 3000 xp you stop getting xp from cx deliveries in Tantalon. ? Level 6? is the last time you can get exp from the dartboard in Ravel. ? Level 7 is the last level you have access to get spider silk. At about 7000 xp you stop getting xp from running cx altogether. Pembrook will not let you deliver packages if you are carrying 5000 coins plus. At 17341 xp (the exact exp required for level 10) you lose access to the haunted ship. (At 1,000,000 exp plus you are allowed back into the haunted ship) You can last enter the knights training area at level 8, or if you are in a guild. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How much xp do I need to max this class
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rogues get all rogue abilities maxed at about 1.4M xp Alteration Mages get all mage spells at about 6.7M xp (without glimmer) Shapeshifter with all forms maxed at about 5.82M xp (from: Dukarbaun Wed Aug 21 2002 shifters board) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rogues get a discount and can learn lessons sooner than non-rogues if they
highsign infront of Trough before the training session, they have to have the
full cost of the training session on them, but they get coins given back to
them for being a fellow rogue. Although since addition of skills to AA I
would not recommend any rogues to learn brawl unless they are bored. I'm not
sure what the changes to brawl have done but at a rouge guess brawl is
probably worse than it was before.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: 'weight' // Vajra <4> Thu Sep 7 04:23:39 2000 Mib's post a while back inspired to do my own modest research. Not in the same league at all but here is what I found out about weight: (str * 1.5) [rounded down] + 7 = max carry. This was based on loading up with beer at strs of 2, 3, and 15.

( and no, i didnt do BOG) knapsack worn--2.44 ranger belt worn--2.00 silk pack worn--1.82 ranger pack worn--1.80 canvas pack worn--1.78 knights pack worn--1.78 knights pack--1.78 ranger sack worn--1.57 canvas pack--1.45 silk pack--1.43 forgot pouches ranger pouch worn and canvas pouch worn--1.67 yeah, know i'm all screwed up with my order knapsack--1.46 provision sack, scythe sack--1.43 ok, there's plenty more lower than this that don't matter. the point i'm trying to get at is, (assuming you don't have bog) is using 2 knapsacks really the best way to carry eq? for example, a dwarf fighter has 19str=35 units of available carrying capacity. with 2 knapsacks (assuming one of them is worn) the result is 55 units. (35-9-15=12) 12+22+22=55. the largest combination (assuming no bog and the fighter is wearing a knapsack) is a knapsack and 12 ranger made belt (yes, you can wear multiple ranger made items) gives a carrying capacity of 72, granted the fighter would have to fill up the containers before picking them up and wearing them. also, he wouldn't be able to wear that 13th belt since it would be too heavy to pick up unworn. but realistically, that would require way too many aliases, and you'd need 240 lengths of sinew for the belts. so what # makes for the best # of containers for alias purposes? 2? knapsack worn and a silk pack worn gives 57. 3? knapsack worn, silk pack worn, and ranger pack worn gives 61 knapsack worn, 2 knight packs gives 62 knapsack worn, silk pack worn, and a knight pack gives 64 4? knapsack worn, silk pack worn, 2 ranger packs worn gives 65 ps, on all of these combos, i didn't include how much space was available for a weapon. End of note number 247. Title: 'last 2' // Deion <19> Wed Jan 15 17:32:10 2003 capet--i was in a hurry so i just put a "ps" then took off. knapsack worn, knapsack unworn leaves 12 units available knapsack worn and a silk pack worn leaves 15 units available knapsack worn, silk pack worn, knight pack leaves 7 units available btw, an unworn full knapsack has the same weight as 3 full ranger packs worn with the 3 ranger packs giving 5 more carrying capacity. baphomet--yeah, you're right. i don't know why i came up with 55. i checked the rest of the #'s on calculator and they're all correct.

abilities

note Basic Abilities 101
Here is everything about abilities that you never wanted to know:
*languages are dwarvish, elvish and orcish.
*defences are block, parry and riposte (I'd assume that none, berserk and
dodge would use the same stats)
*chance to hit npc goes up as your dex increases.
*hitting npc harder would depend on the weapon dificulity of the weapon, your
skill at the weapon and your str. Dex, skill in weapon and weapon dificulty
decides if you hit or not and the str decides upon how hard you hit with
random numbers thrown in.
*raising skills seams to depend on your skill level, the monster level you are
attacking and int and wis.
*carry more, how much you can carry is linearly proportional to your str, the
formula is on some board, fighter's or shapeshifters I think, I saw it
somewhere, I can't remember where to be honest.
*more hp's, max hp's = 42+8*max(int,wis)
*more sp's, max sp's = 42+8*con

note WoW
Wow some amazing posts back there, I just read from 1 to 250 and this board
has the highest signal to noise ratio that I have read in ages.
To work out the con of a undead you could also use info like the following
and use it in reverse if you know what I mean:
Fighting Messenger (damage messenger did to me with butchers knife in hp's):
impaled : 12,10,12,10,11,
slashed : 10,
pierced : 6,5,9,5,5,5,5,8,1,8,9,6,6,6,8,8,5,6,9,9,8,6,9,6,
5,9,5,9,8,6,5,6,6,6,9,1,6,6,5,8,6,9,6,

notched : 2,
stuck : 2,2,2,2,0,
nicked : 1,1,1,
pricked : 1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,
Fighting Mound (damage mound did to me with it's blows in hp's):
bludgeoned 12,11,12,13,14,11,12,8,9,11,13,12,10,10,10,6,10,15,10,10,11,14,12,
12,18,13,15,15,10,10,7,12,7,13,15,6,15,16,6,12,8,14,12,6,11,14,16,
12,11,10,7,11,14,17,14,12,14,12,7,12,11,7,12,14,12,13,13,11,12,11,
11,15,15,13,17,18,13,10,18,18,17
pounded 9,6,2,7,9,6,6,6,9,8,7,2,7,6,9,8,9,7,6,9,5,5,8,5,6,8,8,7,6,6,8,6,8,
4,8,8,6,8,6,5,5,7,7,6,6,8,7,5,1,4,9,9,8,4,7,4,8,5,9,9,6,2,9,7,7,7,
2,6,1,5,6,7,6,6,6,9,5,3,3,9,8,2,6,9,8,
clubbed 3,3,3,3,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,3,4,4,3,3,4,3,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,
pummeled 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,
battered 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,
bludgeoned Range: 6 to 18 Average Damage: 12.01
pounded Range: 1 to 9 Average Damage: 6.38
clubbed Range: 3 to 4 Average Damage: 3.39
pummeled Range: 2 to 2 Average Damage: 2
battered Range: 1 to 1 Average Damage: 1
But I have to agree that running around with an undead for 20+ kills and then
doing the same kills with the undead that you want to compare it to is easier.
Then see how much profit/loss you have made this is probably more of a useful
figure rather than calculating str, dex and con of an undead.
Does anyone know if using a higher int+wis when rasing an undead makes them
better.

exp is twice hp damage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 'Re:GhanimX' // Nagash <16> Sun May 12 11:39:41 2002 There would be an exact way of testing this, but it depends on whether people get exp for hitting an undead subservient. I'm not a fan of pk, so I wouldn't know. From some figures I drew up in testing, the experience you get every time you hit something is twice the damage (slightly less for when a wolf or horse hits, the amount less depends on how much you are fighting with the creature). So, all you need is to equip the undead with some unholy weapon, and get someone with an evil alignment to hit it until it dies. Then take the total experience you got from fighting (which is total exp after fight - total exp before fight), minus the exp you got for the kill (assuming you get kill exp for killing an undead), and divide by two. And voila. The hp of the monster is revealed. Then, you'd test it for each and every viable choice of subservient. Hehehe. Mad! Mad, they called me! But I shall prove them wrong! Ahahahahaha! Ahem. But I digress. Use this knowledge for good. And not for evil. -Killcrazy. End of note number 246. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rogue skills posts
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 'RE: Last' // "The One You Never Saw" <19> Thu Feb 7 02:11:43 2002 Gaining skills is not affected much by your level, so if you've got 20 skill in something, you can kill fairly small tsuff and still get it to go up, even if you're level 19. Given this, you should be able to do a good amount of damage (a fair % of its HP per hit, anyways) to whatever you're fighting, regardless of skill. At least, a good amount of damage as far as a rogue is concerned... rogues don't do massive damage in general, but if solo damage isn't enough for you at low skill levels it probably won't ever be, because the damage/HP ratio of equivalent-level monsters only gets worse the higher you go. I think I just confused myself... what I was trying to say is that your skill level and the monsters you need to kill in order to raise your skill at a reasonable rate progress more or less evenly until the upper levels. Now that I think about it, I don't know if this post is relevant at all, but I'll leave it up just so someone can laugh at me. End of note number 1. Title: 'The One You Never Saw' // "Cracker" <19> Sat Feb 9 22:16:30 2002 Your level affects your skills greatly. Lessee, int and wis help raise skills faster. That means, at level 15 with 20 int+wis, you're going to see Your skill has gone up! a lot more than you would at a level 3's 5 int+wis. In addition, you also have the dex factor: you will hit more, thus you will have more of a chance for it to go up. Now, if you're fighting incredibly dexterous npcs such as Hermit, you may not be hitting as often. But, with more mediocre npcs, you'll be raising skills much faster. I'd say the part that sucks is that you can't just sit for 4 minutes hitting a battered frying pan and raising skills because your str will kill one in few whaps. That's my 17.4 cents. End of note number 4. Title: 'RE: Last' // "The One You Never Saw" <19> Sun Feb 10 18:37:26 2002 Level doesn't affect things "greatly", as you yourself are saying essentially what I did; namely, that it is outweighed by other factors (i.e. int, wis, dex, and skill level). Posting with information is fine. Posting for the sake of making yourself look smart usually doesn't work. End of note number 5. Title: 'last' // "The Overseer" <19> Mon Feb 11 17:16:25 2002 The orignal post was to say that staying at low lvls helps skills go up quicker really is a waste of time. This is what Cracker reiterated without really realizing it. And yes, in my experience, the added stats of higher lvls helps skills go faster than staying at low lvl. End of note number 6. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bomerangs + barbed darts and DEX
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 'darts...' // "Nagel" <16> Fri Feb 22 14:49:50 2002 This should seem like a newbie question, but... Is the amount of dex lowered, equal to the number of barbed darts stuck in a NPC (3 darts = -3 dex)? Or is it just one dex point no matter how many (3 darts = -1 dex)? ~N End of note number 13. ---***--- Title: 'last' // "DR.BenDover" <7> Sat Feb 23 05:08:33 2002 -1 for barbed dart thats it -1 for boomerang thats it End of note number 14. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

sober and with full hit points before each battle.
not smoking a pipe or taking any heals during fight.
knife skill 62
Right hand: a butchers knife

how to increase weaving to 29
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: '"Today's Weaving" page 34' // Zucchini <19> Sun Aug 11 18:06:19 2002 the way it USED to work is: "weave cloth" at Fae in arcadia would give you 10 weaving IF you had 0. mending your seine would gradually bring you up to 6, but no higher. the way it works NOW is: "weave cloth" at Fae increases your weaving by 10 but only if +10 won't be more than 29. if you have 20, it won't work. (although sometimes she only gives 9 the first time, odd) mending seines works same as it used to. and there's spider silk you can weave stuff into that i guess will keep raising weaving beyond that.

(Exp gained from the kill)
What we have concluded from this is that you get ~.0133% of the deceased
players experience also equivalent to 1/75th. However, the percent may not be
exact because it may go up or down depending on how much exp the player was
originally worth..ie someone who has 100mil might be worth a less percentage.
On another note, i have yet to see an eval for Battle Aromur so i figured i'd
post that too, along with fine plate for comparison:
BATTLEARMOUR:
You carefully examine a Battle Armour. You think it will provide adequate
protection for your head, good protection for your neck, adequate protection
for your body, adequate protection for your arms, good protection for your
hands, adequate protection for your legs and good protection for your feet.
This armour looks like it would be more effective against crushing attacks,
and less effective against piercing attacks.

It would be nice if someone would be willing to do some more
expirimintation into the above subject :P, but seeing as how not many people
'like' to die, i will do this again one i build up some exp or somethin
(though i may just use a lower amount of exp and compare to see if the amount

Title: 're last few' // Hektor <19> Fri Aug 30 05:22:48 2002
Interesting notes there. I wonder if any of these factors affect the exp
worth of a player. (1) if a player gains exp value the longer they go without
dying, much the same way an NPC does, (2) if players can only go up to a max
of 26k like npc's, or if they even have a limit. Perhaps some players who
have killed a bountied or SK player with high amounts of experience can post
the gains that they get from the kill. The victim could also do the same so
that we can calculate a percentage.
Bazhi? Clemeth? Thothamon? Capet? Shinrikyo? Calvin? Lunger? Undeadguy?
Nanji? Care to help out the cause? *winks*

Title: 'Skills and Experience' // Hektor <19> Sun Nov 12 19:33:50 2000
If you ask any cleric how much exp it took to reach an 80 club you are bound
to get a huge range of figures. Why? Several reasons. A cleric who gains
all experience using only club will take less exp to hit a skill of 80 than a
cleric who gets their exp from doing damage with other weapons. Also factor
in damage done with attack prayers: if you make heavy use of wrath and/or
hammer during combat it will also take more exp for skills to go up. This is
also a large part of why a mage takes so long to gain staff skills.
Other things which may factor into exp required for a set skill level
may include the level of npc you are killing, how much that npc is worth, how
much exp is done in parties, and the appropriateness of the weapon you are
using for your ability. I'm not sure how or even if this list of items
affects anything, but at least it will hopefully spark some discussion.

Title: 'Re: last' // Sermhint <19> Mon Nov 13 01:24:20 2000
Well, in my uneducated opinion (I don't say I know for sure)...
All that matters is number of hits (damage has no play in it) done on a
monster, and monster's level in some relevance with your skill. From
experience, using spells does slow down the process, but I don't think it's
directly related, I'd rather think that since with spells monsters die faster
you score fewer hits on'em, that's why skill goes slower.
Also, I think your level vs monster's level has no say in it... meaning that
in skill range 1-10 you can kill monsters of the lowest level (forest
critters) no matter what level *you* are, say after 20 you can't get a single
skillpoint on them, you have to go on to monsters a couple of levels
higher... and 90-100 you can get only killing 9k monsters.
Again, it's just my (although strong) impression after advancing skills with
over a dozen characters.

Title: 'Re: Last' // Blackened <19> Wed Dec 13 22:38:31 2000
3 person parties are the decent ones. 1 basher is kinda rough to do both
heals and eq because of the weight issue. 2 bashers ideal, one for each
assignment. The third basher imo slows the party xp wise down. Everything
does die faster, but the tank has to be flying with paths to do a decent
xp/hr ratio.
decent = +100k/hr
60k/hr min for a good basher to party usually.

Title: 'last couple' // Booya <19> Thu Dec 14 01:00:11 2000
Umm if you both have your own sets of eq, first of all that sounds like
there'd be a weight issue there and that wouldnt work out very well.
And about the parties, It seems like I can pull the most xp/person with a 2
man party, and you shouldnt have a weight problem if the tank carries the
heals in his sack/pack/whatever, if you dont buy in bulk its not a problem. 3
people parties are probably the best in all aspects, but the 4 man parties
are just plain ol' fun ;), that why I do em, and if you play right (you dont
really need paths) you can pull decent xp (80k each.)
Also if you ever have a chance, round up three trunkin dwarves and trunk
yourself and just go nutz, thats fun and you can pull 500k in an hour if you
try ;).

Title: '2 ago' // Brassmonkey <19> Mon Jan 1 21:04:41 2001
First off, dwarf cleric with 2 orc fighters is better than anything... for
ME. You do whatever yall else want. Some freaks, like Hek or Booya, can do
things which would make me drop a lung, but it works for them, so be it. You
do whatever you want. The more experienced players are suggesting above-type
combo as better, and they are probably right. Maybe not. Whatever.
As for shields, polished silver goblin is the best eval-wise... but it's also
the heaviest, not to mention if your aliases are setup to 'drink potion'
instead of 'drink dark red potion', you can be seriously f*cked.
Next is wiggy/gralain. Gralain adds to blocking ability, more so if you're a
dwarf. Wiggy is light as hell.
The rest are crap. People like flying shield. I dunno why :P
Sorry I can't give exact evals. Maybe if my fighters ever get ahold of all
those shields, I can post em.

Title: 'Fastest party number' // Hektor <19> Tue Jan 2 20:26:08 2001
With all things being equal, I find that the fastest of the 2
combinations mentioned above depends on the weapons wielded by each. With
trunks, I would take the 2 cleric party simply because the damage done by 2
trunks plus 1 cleric's wrath is incredible, and I find that a 3rd person only
cuts into the exp/hr per person. Without trunks (and especially when no
uniques weapons are available) I believe the 2 basher party to be fastest.
As for 2 clerics in a party: I normally carry 1 set of armour which is
passed back and forth between clerics. It frees up extra space for one
person to extra heals plus obtained "loot". Passing eq has never been a
problem, since the heals are usually dumped on the ground before the attack
starts. During trunk boots NAKED is the only way to fly, although sometimes
we'll have a theme night and grab some toga's.

So what does new bless do
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: 'new bless versus old bless' // Ghanimo <19> Tue May 20 12:45:48 2003
"new bless" gives +1 or +2 to evals, so
"very poor" goes up to "serviceable", and lasts 40 mins (+2)
"poor" goes up to "adequate", and lasts 30 mins (+2)
"serviceable" goes up to "adequate", and lasts 30 mins (+1)
"adequate" goes up to "fine", and lasts 40 mins (+1)
"fine" can't be blessed anymore
"old bless" gave +2 evals, and lasted 60 secs, and then dropped
down to only +1 eval until reboot
"new bless" the highest you eval you can bless is "adequate"
"old bless" the highest you eval you could bless was "fine"
When "new bless" runs out the armour return to it's old state
e.g. "very poor" -(bless)-> "serviceable" -(after 30 mins)-> "very poor"
When "old bless" ran out the armour was permentaly better, as you would
expect when the gods blessed something and made it holy.
e.g. "fine" -(bless)-> "very good" -(after 60 secs)-> "good"
GhanimX grumbles. 10 absolutely perfect
09 nearly perfect
P.S. The bottom line to me is that bless is now a waste 08 splendid
of spellpoints, when the most it can do is make 07 very good
something fine for 40 mins, and I can pick up fine 06 good
equipment in loads of places. 05 fine
04 adequate
P.P.S. I have only tested 4 pieces of armour so maybe, 03 serviceable
just maybe the +1,+2 is random and there is a +3 and 02 poor
+4 but I'd say that I'm just dreaming. 01 very poor

I've heard that cos's long katana+snickersnee isn't bad for damage either rapier - dual darts (or sticks *pat annihilator*), then at about 50 or 60ish skill, dual cblade+stick or gilian+stick Poleaxe, 2hs, 2ha - don't bother dualing, its just not worth it. plus the skills raise fast enough anyway MMS - yah, xbow+knife or if you really want, you could grab bow/arrow and raise staff/mms that way. exotic - dual shurikens, then dual boomers, or just grab a padded grapple (they're 2h) axe - dual pickaxes from scythe tunnels.

For dwarves, it is wisdom. For half-elves and orcs, both are equal. For elves and humans, intelligence is higher. (when maxxed) The stat which effects skillraising changes according to who you ask, but I had heard that it was whichever of int or wis that wasn't used to calculate your spellpoints. Hope this helps :) Sharn. End of note number 226. ---***--- Title: 'dual wielding' // Machine <19> Wed Jul 31 01:07:57 2002 It works depending on your skills and your dex. You'd need at least a 14 dex, imo, to dual well enough to make it worth while. And I'd say start dualing around 20 skill, 30 skill if you're one of those off balanced dwarves. Club : dual canes 20-80. large wooden club/cane or moc/cane 80+ Axe : dual worthless picks 20-80. pick/tomahawk, pick/choppingweapon, pick/big bladed axe 80+ Curved Blade : dual snickersnees 20-80. katana/snickersnee, falchion/snickersnee, long katana/snickersnee, or curved black scimitar/snickersnee 80+ Exotic (it sucks, why would you raise this, moron?) : dual shurikens 20-40. dual boomerangs, dual carpenter's saws, dual weeding hooks or any combo of the three 40+ Flail : 20-80 dual shackles. mstar/shackles, visious looking flail/shackles, ranger whip/shackles 80+ Knife : 20-40 dusl rusty daggers, 40-80 dual spirit knives, 80+ sai/spirit knife, sai/nailfile, dual nailfiles. (I don't recommend stone daggers, unless it used against the stone golems) Longsword : Only dual combo that's decent enough for longsword is Sword of Virgis/dark longsword. Pretty cool. Marksmanship : MMS is easy enough to get by throwing boomerangs while wielding other shit. And use bows to get whatever eq you want after reboots. Should get a huge chunk of your desired 100 MMS this way. Polearm : Don't dual until 80, imo. Then razor sharp halberd/orlyn's hoe, or huge halberd/arcadian hoe works. Rapier : dual sticks 20-80. jdr/stick 80+. I wouldn't use cblade/stick unless you're a freakish elf. *shrug* Shortsword : dual wooden swords 20-80. wooden sword/wolfblade or wooden sword/diamond pommel sword 80+ Spear : (thanks to Paldin's UNbalancing, dual arrows blows, but still works) dual -flint- arrows 20-40, steel arrow/flint arrow 40-80. anasazi spear/steel arrow or steel arrow/steel arrow 80+ Staff : 20-80 dual strong branches. 80+ strong branch/carved staff, strong branch/white iron stick, or strong branch/short staff. I also like blackstaff/strong branch for 80+ *shrug* 2HA : none 2HS : none Unarmed : some ppl like to dual mms/unarmed. Seems lame, but guess it works. Wield crossbow in left hand, while brawling with right hand. Yeah, okay. I'm done. *shrug* And no, I haven't had a character ever with 1600, but I've had and thrown away about 10 fighters with a combined whoever knows how much skills.

How long does 'will' last
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: 'How long Will lasts' // Guinness <19> Sun Jul 28 17:48:56 2002
Maybe this is a better question for Ghanim(X) but I was trying to figure out
how long will would last and here what results I got for me (maxed Orc
Fighter, hungry/sober). I also kicked will in at around 45-50HP...
1st try- 1min 10secs
2nd try- 1min 12secs
3rd try- 1min 7secs
4th try- 1min 11secs
So from what I can see, I can use will fairly safely for 1min before getting
to a safe zone.
Anyone try similar tests? Hopefully when i get more time during the week I'll
try it a few more times and see if results vary much.

Title: 'guinness' // Backstreet <19> Mon Jul 29 00:11:58 2002
i did a test that gave me a relatively good guess as to how long will lasted.
i made an alias for do say 1, say 2, say 3...........until about 33 or so
(whatever the cutoff length of aliases are) and hit that alias immediately
after hitting will.this just gave me a rough idea of how many rounds will
lasted, however, i didnt care enough about it to come up with a function in
terms of stats, level, how many sps i used, how many hps i had left when i
used it, if i was in battle, or what ever other variable might affect it.

Title: 'fighter block, parry and riposte' // Ghanimk <19> Thu Sep 5 18:35:02 2002
Something posted by Shinrikyo got me thinking about this, Ghanime is an orc
fighter and so is Shinrikyo and we have the same block, parry and riposte!
So I decided that there must be no random numbers involved and there wasn't!
+1 level = +2 block, +2 parry, +2 riposte
+1 str = +2 block, +1 parry, +0 riposte
+1 dex = +1 block, +2 parry, +3 riposte

human 18 15 14 16 13 89 86 83
elf 15 17 16 14 13 85 87 89
fighter block = 2 x level + 2 x str + 1 x dex
fighter and rogue parry = 2 x level + 1 x str + 2 x dex
fighter and rogue riposte = 2 x level + 0 x str + 3 x dex
Strange thing is that clerics, rangers and paladins have lower block than
fighters (i.e. my formulas don't work). But when I think about it it does
make sense.

Deep pocket (strength + int)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: 'dp, str, int and weight' // Ghanima <19> Wed Oct 18 16:10:59 2000
Narnak and myself did some experiments with the dp spell, here are
the results if anyone is cares to see.
How many bottles of beer will fit in Deeppockets:
17 bottles of beer sp low - int 19 ; str 12
20 bottles of beer sp med - int 19 ; str 12
27 bottles of beer sp high - int 19 ; str 12
27 bottles of beer sp high - int 21 ; str 12 (spidy)
27 bottles of beer sp high - int 23 ; str 12 (spidy & NBC)
29 bottles of beer sp high - int 19 ; str 14 (cast st)
29 bottles of beer sp high - int 19 ; str 12 (was 14 before, cast dm st)
34 bottles of beer sp high - int 21 ; str 19 (human mage, brass knuckles & NBC & Tcap )
Stome tells you: st+brass knuckles for the 19 str.. nbc and tcap for 21 int..
tried to ask thothamon if I could see spidey too.. but he
was idle
Stome tells you: all together (with dp, bog, knapsack, and inventory) I could
hold 97 bob.. but without brass knuckles..
Last one looks like it is a bug, so I'm cross posting this on the bug board

I don't have es so I don't know if int increases the cost to cast, anyone
know ?
Basically the above list of spells are the ones that have a higher cost when
you are using an int boster.

Bow + Arrow mage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 'Aristotel / archery' // Sianan <19> Mon Jul 16 00:26:43 2001 I've been playing around with archery a little and these are the conclusions I've come to. Now that we have more aliases ;) I've found that using archery + charm spell as a sole means of killing something is good for smaller cash kills but on larger npcs, aggressives or on npcs that aren't charmed as easily (some guards etc) you just get your arse kicked in between unwielding your bow to cast charms. Using archery is an ok way to get some initial damage in on a non-aggressive larger npc if you don't mind the extra weight.. those who use dodge as a defense may not enjoy archery and figure that the initial damage trade off with larger npcs isn't worth it. Overall, it has its place. I think its definately worthwhile in certain circumstances (i've had instance of npcs that never got a hit in on me.. but they were too smart either) and adds another fun aspect to fighting as a mage. Sianan p.s. advice: raise your mms with a boomerang or if you have the strength to wield xbow get that and visit zhou till your mms hits 16 then continue using a boomerang. You want those arrows to actually hit. p.p.s. I'd like to hear about other archery mage findings :) End of note number 245. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cletus's seeds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- note seeds and new mage school Here is all I have worked out about the seeds: All seeds when id'ed give Your Identify spell tells you: This is a viable seed of the mandrake plant. It will grow to maturity in 17- 18 days from sowing. Which works out between 2 days 20 hours and 3 days from the time of planting. garlic : small black seed : 20 : 2D 20H to 3D carrot : small striped seed : 40 : 2D 20H to 3D parsnip : light brown seed : 40 : 2D 20H to 3D clover : small white seed : 150 : 2D 20H to 3D ginseng : dark brown seed : 150 : 2D 20H to 3D lotus : shiny black seed : 600 : 2D 20H to 3D whiteleaf : large black seed : 200 : 2D 20H to 3D mandrake : small brown seed : 1000 : 2D 20H to 3D nightshade : large hairy seed : 600 : 2D 20H to 3D 2 mandrake and 1 nightshade per reboot per level 19 maxed mage. I wish I could talk about the times on new areas being moved out of testing and onto the live mud, but I don't know and if I did, which I don't, I know that I am not allowed to say. Basically whatever I learn on the test mud I can't say here. Hence all the info above was worked out here. Oh yes, where do you get these seeds ? From Ranger Camp it is e, 7n, 2e, ne, 3n, w GhanimX P.S. If anything is wrong above let me know. ---***--- note time for seed(s) to mature Here are 2 lots of seeds that I planted and the times planted at and picked at 3 days later. Mon Jan 14 16:21:33 GMT 2002 picked Thu Jan 17 13:56:42 GMT 2002 (approx) Mon Jan 14 18:01:01 GMT 2002 picked Thu Jan 17 15:29:55 GMT 2002 (+/- 1 mins) So it looks like it is approx 2 days 21 hours 30 mins from planting the seeds to picking them. So it is at a time 2 hours 30 mins (3 days later) before the time that you planted them you pick them, if you get what I mean. I hope this information stops you from having as many mature mandrake plants stolen from you as I have had stolen from me. I don't beleive that people are killing them I just think 'nasty' mages are robbing them. GhanimX P.S. I'm prety sure it is the same time for all seeds. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mages es spell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scythe # Dooku: at what skill level does es not work Scythe # Capet: 85 ---***--- Title: 'back to es spell' // Aristotel <19> Sun Jun 30 17:18:50 2002 es probably does help you advance skills faster, I had ss 1, casted es, got +31 bonus, zhou wouldn't train me, because he sees skill of 32 (so should have first trained and then casted es) but after not much time, I got next skill, and I don't believe it would have taken that litle to get from 32 to 33 skill, so for advancing skill the skill that counts is the base skill, and for hits the base+bonus, so es does help raise skills faster. End of note number 250. ---***--- Title: 're: last' // Malefactor <14> Mon Jul 1 16:56:14 2002 Actually, that suggests to me that maybe it hurts your skill gains. My reasoning is that at least some parts of the game (zhou, in this case) are factoring in es before making decisions based on your skills. If skill gains do that, then your rate of skill gain will be hurt. End of note number 248. ---***--- Title: 'Enhance skill' // Shanks <18> Sat Mar 8 15:37:56 2003 What's the current verdict on enhance skill? Does it help or harm learning skills? Eg, I'm learning polearm. Say I was at 56. Weapon of choice: huge halberd or orcish poleaxe. If a mage zaps me up to, say, 62, I could be using ascythe or malign pikestaff. What's going to be better for learning skills? -Shanks End of note number 235. ---***--- Title: 'Shanks' // Seppuku <7> Sun Mar 9 05:01:55 2003 Once you have an e.s applied to your skill raising still uses the "base skill" as opossed to the "modified skill". So for skills it is like saying, hey i'm at 56, but i'm hitting like a 62, so in retrospect. Yes it is going to help you raise skills faster, but at the same time - its gonna make non-es skill raising seem like worms crawlin....

Mages hs spell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 'haste question' // Ghanima <19> Thu Jan 16 21:50:25 2003 I'm just wondering what people feel about haste, do you think (or know) that it helps us/others to learn skills faster ? GhanimX End of note number 233. ---***--- Title: 'Re: Last' // Radditz <18> Thu Jan 16 22:15:24 2003 In theory, it could. Haste means more attacks. More attacks *could* mean more hits. More hits means more skills. End of note number 234. ---***--- Title: 'last' // Ghanimk <19> Fri Jan 17 11:06:31 2003 I know that it *could* help, I'm just wondering if people feel that it does ? End of note number 235. ---***--- Title: 'haste' // Emilia <19> Fri Jan 17 16:22:49 2003 My experience is that it does, a bit. A combination of haste and strength is a good one for bashing, you can actually do some damage and get skills a little more quickly. I haven't got the figures though... *pokes GhanimX* End of note number 236. ---***--- Title: 'last few' // Gremer <19> Fri Jan 17 17:47:18 2003 i just feel that it's done more dmg -> shorter fight... i don't get the feelin that it help skillin that much End of note number 237. ---***--- Title: 'haste' // Greystar <19> Fri Jan 17 19:58:09 2003 I always think of haste in parties as increasing the ratio of hits that you score versus the hits that your comrades score. say you normally score 1/4 of the hits thatit takes to kill something. . . if you haste yourself, maybe that ratio goes up to 1/3 of the hits in the party (since you're hitting more, your party members are hitting less). so even though you're still killing as many things as before, the hasted person is scoring a larger percentage of hits per hour. if we agree that skills are based on # of hits, then haste increases the # of hits per hour ratio and thus the skill rate. if we agree that skills are based on amount of damage, then your amount of damage per hour in that same party is also increased, so you're still skillin' faster than regular. if you solo though, I'd recommend not using haste, as you're not competing with anybody for all the hits in a kill. hope you could follow that convoluted logic, ugh -Greystar End of note number 239. ---***--- Title: 'Haste' // Ivanhood <19> Fri Jan 17 20:12:54 2003 If you wanna be partying as a mage, you shouldn't be hasting yourself. You should be hasting the big highly damaging fighter, or maybe the semi damaging tank, not the pretty much useless yourself. End of note number 240. ---***--- Title: 'Re: Ivanhood' // Greystar <19> Fri Jan 17 20:42:45 2003 what if you have 80+ staff and are wielding tetsubo with 17 str? End of note number 241. ---***--- Title: 'last' // Greystar <19> Fri Jan 17 20:43:07 2003 or if your name is Dooku and you're wielding Azakath with 100? End of note number 242. ---***--- Title: 'solo hasting' // Arfbarky <19> Sat Jan 18 02:06:52 2003 Well, hasting solo makes sense if you're using a staff, as it gets you more hits than your foe (depending of course on various things like skill with weapon, weapon suitability, your foe's difficulty, armour, and dex, and so on), gets you skills faster (if of course you're hitting successfully), and if you're doing damage faster that without haste, you're using up fewer heals. Of course, I wouldn't use it in a hit and run situation, but then, I might not even carry a weapon in that case. Er, make that "if you're using a weapon", it's not staff specific, of course. Er, also, I might not carry a weapon in a pure hit-and-run situation. Not that I won't revert to hit and run if I'm taking it on the chin, or running low on heals. I'm as craven as the next guy. End of note number 245. ---***--- Title: 'Greystar' // Dooku <19> Sat Jan 18 09:11:11 2003 I think you should haste yourself if you solo. More hits, more damage, less time to kill something, less heals, more exp in a shorter time. End of note number 246. ---***--- Title: 'Re: Dooku' // Greystar <19> Sat Jan 18 10:23:21 2003 I've never been in a terrible hurry. . .but you're probably right. of course hasting self when soloing is gonna be much faster, yes. previously I've been comparing spending sps towards hasting self versus spending them towards pw: heal to last longer in combat. cashwise, the pw: heal method saves a lot more but takes more time, and the opposite is true for the haste method. both are effective, but with the almost unbearable amount of time it takes to get higher skills these days, I just might try blitzing coins for solo haste from now on. -Greystar End of note number 247. ---***--- Title: 'last few' // Aristotel <19> Sat Jan 18 11:42:49 2003 I don't really understand what is the argument around haste is about. If you use haste you will still get same exp from a kill (if solo) but you will kill in half the time, so you could do twice as much hits (exp) in same period of time, hence you advance skills faster. As for who to haste in party - if its skilling party - then haste yourself or tank or whoever you agreed to, when in exp run - haste the biggest basher in party End of note number 248. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mages staff progression

End of note number 238. ---***--- Title: 'Last' // Fluke <17> Thu Mar 6 09:41:12 2003 toughie 1-15 strong branch 15-25 "crooked staff" if you like 2 hands "quarterstaff" for 1 25-40 snake,long,stout 40-55 white iron stick 55-65 bo, white iron stick 65+ tetsubo, azakath 1-100 glimmer if you get the chance also works nicely End of note number 239. ---***--- Title: 'Glimmer' // Fluke <17> Thu Mar 6 09:42:39 2003 also some shit I noticed about glimmer As an elf, its crappy damage, elf with str casted, decent now as an orc with str casted, I think it does more damage than either azzy or tetsubo its something like str+2 weapon class...orc with str permed is 17+2 or 19wc 19wc is like ascythe/mba type damage...too bad mages can't berserk End of note number 240. ---***--- Title: 'last' // Greystar <19> Thu Mar 6 20:16:09 2003 but they sure can hit twice per round like the best of them End of note number 241. ---***--- Title: 're: White Iron stick' // Dragonburp <19> Fri Mar 7 02:52:06 2003 I've also found that for those of an evil persuasion, the staff from the Appy mage over near Alton "Vicious staff", is excellent for damage. If evil, it does more than a standard staff. End of note number 242. ---***--- Title: 'string' // Drifter <7> Sat Mar 8 05:45:22 2003 So, the progression is not neccesarily in line with difficulty of use? ( ie evals and the ever present staff listing w-sites) End of note number 243. ---***--- Title: 'last' // Aristotel <19> Sat Mar 8 07:53:29 2003 for most part its exactly as the list say just fighters get ps eval at larger range, and sometimes due to high dex or some other reason (like some weapon specific) you will get weapon ps earlier and some high diff weapons, are good for you only from like 80 skill, because we don't have higher eval than es. But for most part, its just some ppl believe that if they use slightly easier weapon than the one that is ps for them they will skill faster. For as much as I could see, that believe is ungrounded, just use the ps weapon from list, unless you can get a fighter to eval some specific weapon for you. End of note number 244. ---***--- Title: 'Staff 5X5' // Lexi <10> Tue Mar 11 17:07:32 2003 It seems that the clerics are using the staff more and more, and the mages just have no friggin' clue about staff/skill progressions. Let alone damages and dex joc factors. Would a competent fighter -PLEASE- lay it down rock solid as to wtf is up? End of note number 246. ---***--- Title: 'Staff 5x3' // Duergar <19> Tue Mar 11 18:24:59 2003 Well I'm no competent fighter, but I'm a necro who raises staff. The following has worked well for me. strong branch 0-9 long staff 10-19 quarterstaff 20-25 long stick 26-30 (from SE isle) rosewood/vicious staff 31-36 Zarkan's sceptre 37-42 White Iron stick 43-50 Carved Staff/Bo 51-65 Tetsubo 65+ Err Tetsubo is in theory.

Ask any decent mage and they can tell you what the staff progression is. Here's what I normally use. branch - 0-10 light staff - 10-20 long staff (from sage in Nepeth) - 20-40 white iron stick - 40-50 carved/Glimmer - 50+ Azy - 60+ Tetty - 70+ Some of those might be off by a couple of skills, but that's pretty much how it goes. End of note number 248. ---***--- Title: 'last' // Shyloh <19> Tue Mar 11 23:49:04 2003 You can switch them around of course, and there are other staves that would fit into those slots as well. Also there are some staves that you could use for a different skill range. IE: black/rosewood for 30-40, elvish bow for 10- 20, pine for 40-50, quarterstaff 20-30...etc. Shyloh thanks Machine for his help.

kills + alignment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: 'last' // Berek <19> Sun Jul 1 07:41:41 2001 Alignment is a bit screwy. If you are demonic and kill something good or nice, your alignment moves closer to nuetral, but if you are evil and kill something saintly, you become more evil. Killing anything evil/demonic really hits the alignment pretty hard. From what I have found, the exp of the NPC doesnt effect the alignment. Its how evil the NPC is that determines just how much your alignment is effected. End of note number 73. Title: 'last' // Aristotel <19> Sun Jul 1 08:28:27 2001 I didn't mean that if you get 3k or 6k from a monster affects the allignment change, I meant that if you get half of the exp for killing the monster then the allignment will move only half way, of course if you kill demonic it will bring you closer to good side more than if you had killed something nasty.

Rangers have the list of all wolves because its just like 20-30 wolves or so,
necro can animate corpse of almost any npc. usually follow simple rule - the
higher the ritual the better the undead, the harder was the npc when he was
alive, the better undead he will make. only for the last 3 undeads this rule
is not entirelly correct - fetch has more hps than lich and rev, revs are
stronger and lich is between them on hps and str

i think that having 2 rev fight each other is a poor way to determine their
str. the best way to do it, and this is just me talking, is to run around
for about an hour or so killing shit. switch revs and do the same kills.
then compare exp+cash at the end.

Most high lvl undeads have a 19 str...with the exeption of restul looking

he does lay undesputed claim to strongman of the undead world.

Title: 'str again' // Gore <19> Wed Mar 6 14:03:00 2002
Last time I did the tests ( perhaps six months ago, but who keeps track), the
results were thus:
Sage 18 str,
Philip 19 str,
Proud knight 19 str,
Illarin 18 str,
Tall guard 16 str,
Blor 19 str,
Restful-looking guard 20 str,
Masrur 19 str,
Silversmith 14 str, (weakest I've ever managed to rev)
Tmap Paladin 19 str,
Dwarvin Paladin 18 str,
Glock 19 str,
Mummy of giant squid 19 str, (smirk)
Hermit 19 str,
Carcera 19 str,
Iannis 19 str,
Zarkan 19 str,
Bort 17 str...
...After that I got bored and changed to mage;) Those were all
Revenants exept of course for the Giant Squid, but I've made mummy and lich
test cases and they have identical str to their Revenant counterparts, that
may work all the way down to the skeleton lvl, never tested it. Method used
is rather simple, just find out how many bottles (of beer, for simplicity and
economy sake) you can carry in AA per str(without using packs/sacks of
course). Turns out, after about 10 mins of newbie research, that the answer
is rather simple, at one str you can carry 8.5 bottles, and each successive
str point gives you the ability to carry 1.5 bottles more, such that 2 str=10
bottles (woohoo arithmatic!) and 10 str can carry 22 bottles and 19 str can
carry 35.5 bottles...one very interesting and important point: I've YET to
find an item that is 0.5 bottle in weight, thus, the carrying capacity of a
19 str char or undead is effectively limited to 35 bottles. For high str
chars/undead, testing with so many bottles is hard on the eyes, you might
want to try using larger items instead, sturdy platemails for example, are 9
bottles each, and easily procurred in relatively high quantity. A very
visable way to see that restful guard is indeed stronman of the undead is to
give him 4 sturdy plates to hold at one time (36 bottles), this feat is
impossible for any other undead that I have ever tested. If this info has
changed in the last half-year or so since I've been in the mage world, I
apologize for the false data.

Title: 'last' // Utb <19> Fri Mar 8 01:47:33 2002
finding con would probably be pretty time consuming, since we'd have to get
the undead ad, then see how many salves it took. this would be inconsistant
too because ad ranges from 1 hp to 1 less than sw. plus, are we even sure
that preserves are a constant number?we can always guess which npc's have the
highest hps, and i bet our guess would be pretty accurate. for me though,
hp's don't really make a difference with the undead i choose to use. my
choice for best liches are iannis, illarin, restful, pknight, glock and
phil. although, glock/phil are a step down when it comes to using a rev,
they tend to be right up there with the best of them when liching. right
behind that group are mal, salome, archpriest, zarkan, arenson, effaw, etc.

Title: 'last' // Berek <19> Fri Mar 8 07:01:08 2002
Nods, I dont really care about how much con the lich or revenant has since
the ones I use have sufficient amounts. As long as you heal from bad to
slightly hurt or hurt to bad, or however you do it, it doesnt matter how much
con it has.
However many htps, you gotta heal the damage with salves.
What I look for in an good npc:
Revenant-->Dex, Str, Int, Wis, Con(not really sure if int or wis really do
anything but i dont really care about con for L19 NPC's)
Lich-->Dex, Int, Wis, Str, Con

Title: 'hell yea' // Gore <19> Fri Mar 8 16:41:39 2002
Dex is definitely the most important. Thats why I dig Illarin, It's my
"impression" that she has a badass dex. I say impression since I'm not sure
how one would go about testing that, Str is easy to test, Con is quite do-
able, but hell, dex u just have to rely on good ol' non-scientific
observation. Also, Illarin being an elf, high dex and low con would be
appropriate attributes, and both jive with my observations of her. Alabama

Title: 'undead hps' // Shrapnel <19> Fri Mar 8 19:56:54 2002
There is actually a way to test this. I have noted recently that every time
an npc you get the same amount of hit xp (ie not party xp but the xp from
damage from hits/spells/backstabs/etc). Although I haven't researched it
yet, I don't think the amount of hit expererience corresponds directly to hps
of the npc. If it does, then I'll be damned. Anyway, point is, you and a
friend go make your favorite undead, have him log his paladin and smite it to
death, keeping track of xp that's gained. This way you can at least have a
list of hps of undeads that is accurate relative to itself in which undeads
have more hps than others.

Title: 'dex' // Utb <19> Fri Mar 8 23:01:09 2002
it takes 17 dex to wield gilian. restful, illarin, and iannis can wield
gilian. blor (the npc) breaks the undead's finger, giving it -1 to dex. at
that point, it can't wield gilian.
give berek credit for this one, he found illarin and iannis to have 17 dex
and i used the same method to determine that restful does aswell.

The relative damage/carry of any npc worth of 6k exp really doesn't change
that much. Personally if you can kill something easily, use the damn thing
and don't waste all your time trying to get a "better" rev. Just throw is
some weapons...Like ghost sword right/fancy sword left, or vfr/wooden pick,
maybe even a diammoned pommel sword/hobbit wood axe...those are all pretty
cool combos.

I wish no-one bothered with Restful, I remember when I use to go and kill him
and get 20k+ exp from him everytime :) (when left for a bit)
Btw, anyone tried using 1 wpn on a rev?...i know *forgets name* tried using

there stats were more along the lines we would expect from a dwarf mage, an
elf mage, and a human fighter, I know they are npcs and all but it seems, as

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
note 8 things for paladins to do while saintly
Spell Level alignment Sp's Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
detect 1 nice+ 3 You may use this command to detect evil. A
visible aura will briefly surround any evil
beings present.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
turtle 2 any 2/round Paladins are taught the expert use of shields
in combat. You may use 'turtle' mode to
increase your blocking ability considerably. However, as this
defensive state is tiring, this is a constant drain on your SPs in
combat. The command 'turtle' will put you into or take you out of
turtle mode, as appropriate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
call 5 nice+ all You can call your paladin's warhorse by
using this command. You may call a warhorse
only while outdoors and while at full SPs; calling a warhorse costs
all your SPs. The power of your warhorse depends on your level and
your alignment. A warhorse may be mounted and used to travel around
in outdoors areas. It can be given saddlebags and/or barding to wear
("give saddlebags to horse" to put them on, "remove saddlebags" to
remove them). A warhorse will help you in combat, but if it is
killed, you will be unable to call another warhorse until the next
reboot. You may send your horse away with the command "dismiss
horse". See also: mount, dismount
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
cure 8 nice+ 30 You may use this command to lay hands upon
another person for healing. The effectiveness of
this healing is higher if your heart is pure. You cannot cure
yourself; you may only cure others.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
aura 11 nice+ 75 You may use this command to give yourself an
aura of protection. This holy aura both
reduces the effect of physical blows against your person, as well as
shedding light sufficient to see by. The strength of this aura
depends upon your alignment. The aura protects only yourself, and if
you already have an aura up, you cannot raise another.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
harm 14 nice+? 1/4 all You may use this command to harm undead. It
has no effect on non-undead. The
effectiveness of the attack depends on your alignment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
smite 17 nice+? 1/3 all You may use this command to smite evil
creatures. It has no effect on creatures of
neutral or good alignments. An exception is undead, which you may
smite regardless of their alignment. The effectiveness of the attack
depends on how good you are and how evil the target is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
sense 19 nice+? 30 You can sense the existence of evil beings
with this command. It will give you the name
of one evil creature and the approximate direction and distance to
it.

The shroud changes evals from very poor to absolutly perfect as the wind
builds up with it (+42 to +76).
Funkyflea tells you: u should mention that The Shroud of Gustanado weights 10
but it lets u carry an extra 10 and when u wear the
shield it goes through phases starting at AP, then
NP....so on and then starts over again.
Funkyflea tells you: not sure about extra 10 capacity but it goes something
like that
I tested it and the shroud does weigh 10, but when worn it allows you to carry
10 more so overall it weighs 0 (as long as it is worn).
After the "WHOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOSH!"
"A swirling force of wind swells up around your body!"
It's eval changes from very poor to absolutely perfect at the start of a
fight, changes down after a bit of time or amount of damage to
nearly perfect, splendid, very good, good, fine, adequate, serviceable ...
very poor, ap, np, ... and when the NPC dies it drops back to very poor.
<**>
Funkyflea tells you: gralain give +5 to non-dwarves and +10 to dwarves
You tell Funkyflea: how come the +5 didn't show up to my paladin when I
wasn't using turtle *scratch* maybe paladins don't get
the bonus.
Funkyflea tells you: the last time i used as a pally they did for sure
You tell Funkyflea: or is "The Shield of Gralain" one of them new uniques
with the same name for it's non unique replacement.
Funkyflea tells you: u get a dwarven shield when gralain out
+0 blocking bonus to orc paladin
+5 blocking bonus to h-elf cleric
<***>
There appears to be 3(+) cold shields one of which had so much blocking I
suspect it was a bug (or possibly once per reboot there is one more than
perfect item in some treasure map).
P.S. this is a work in progress I'm adding to it as I get my hands on
diffrent shields. Mudmail Ghanimk if you have additions to add.
P.P.S. The above bonuses are stat/race variable but I have done all my
testing with the one alt. So if you find out the bonus of one shield for your
paladin and compare to my list and work out the diffrence it will be the
same diffrence for all the shields above.

Title: 're: Groth' // Methos <19> Thu Jun 27 11:56:29 2002
Just a small point. Smite costs 1/3 of your max sps. So, despite what
race a paladin is, they can all smite 3 times if at full sps.
Methos couldn't even finish reading that note after that part.
End of note number 240.

Title: 're: last' // Ibid <1> Thu Jun 27 18:03:07 2002
Going by that, orcs (with the smallest max sps) would actually be able to
smite the most in a session with a given number of heals because each heal
would be worth a greater p/c of your total than for an elf/dwarf etc.
Strange, no?
End of note number 241.

Title: 're: Methos' // Groth <15> Fri Jun 28 18:00:08 2002
Yeah but the more sps used to smite, the more damaging it is right? (assuming
alignment doesn't matter)
End of note number 246.

Title: 're: Ibid and Groth' // Methos <19> Fri Jun 28 21:14:28 2002
That's exactly right. All Paladins can smite 3 times from full sps, but
the one who has a higher wis and a better alignment will do more damage
per smite (depending on the alignment of the target of the smite).
Methos is fairly certain he remembers it as wis, and not just higher
sps, in the case of those silly races that have more int than
wis.

Title: 'Stuffs.' // Druenarrii <19> Mon Jul 1 05:18:50 2002
Smite is more powerful with more sps. a very long ago post
stated that each additional wisdom adds 1/3 power to the
blast, and that every *think* 4 points of int (maybe? it's
been a long time) counted as one point of wis, in terms of
damagepower.

for this info based on an orc

Title: 'tof--' // Druenarrii <19> Mon Nov 4 19:34:20 2002
I've never really payed attention to specifics of alignment
damage, or made a graph based on alignment and wisdom
but in my experience, it does 40hp at the low end damage range
(nice to nasty) and up to about 125 at saintly--demonic.
And as you asked, depends if you feel like tanking or bashing:
Paladin with awesome scythe does some nice damage and is
useful for curing the tank. On the other hand, unless you
can find an orcish poleaxe, there goes yer practicality for
tanking with a shield.
Longswords tend to be a little easier to find, and we skill
faster with 'em. Plus they're one handed.
Yeah, I know I'm not saying which is better.. personally,
I use both, depending on what I'm doing.

Ranger
Chance of finding a Mandrake root
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
note Mandrake must be very very rare
I was just seeing if I could get a mandrake root and decided to keep track of
how many I found of each herb:
number percentage Herb gathered
95 67.86 A clump of forest herbs.
17 12.14 A clump of pipeweed.
12 8.57 A whiteleaf.
3 2.14 A bulb of garlic.
1 0.71 A root of parsnip.
4 2.86 A leaf of clover.
3 2.14 A ginseng root.
1 0.71 A lotus petal.
4 2.86 A nightshade.
0 0.00 A mandrake root.
140 100.00 Total herbs gathered
GhanimX knows these numbers are going to be off by loads, but they give some
idea the ratios of one herb to another.
note Herbs II (Revenge of a Mandrake root)
Myself and a friendly fellow ranger kept on gathering a bit longer and here
is what we got, we were gathering all around AA at diffrent times. And after
the measuring was over the other ranger found 2 more mandrake roots!

SUMMARY: (percentages look close enough)
--------
You have a approximatly a 1 in 3 chance of gathering a clump of forest herbs,
1/6 chance of pipeweed,
1/12 chance of whiteleaf,
1/11 chance of garlic or parsnip or clover or ginseng or lotus or nightshade
(1/66 chance of garlic, 1/66 change of parsnip,... 1/66 chance of nightshade)
1/1400 chance of a mandrake root (1/500 if you include the two found after).
GhanimX and a masked friendly fellow ranger.
---***---
Some people asked how I got the above numbers so here goes I gathered herbs
and dumped them all in my scythe room then I cut and paste all the herbs I
see when I type look into a file called herbs.txt. And then I used the
following UNIX script on my SUN workstation:
> cat herbs.sh
#!/bin/sh --
for herb in "A clump of forest herbs" "A clump of pipeweed" \
"A whiteleaf" "A bulb of garlic" \
"A root of parsnip" "A leaf of clover" \
"A ginseng root" "A lotus petal" \
"A nightshade"
do
num=`grep "$herb" herbs.txt | wc | awk '{print $1}'`
/bin/printf "%s\t%s\n" $num "$herb"
done
total=`cat herbs.txt | wc | awk '{print $1}'`
/bin/printf "%s\tTotal\n" $total
> ./herbs.sh
310 A clump of forest herbs
60 A clump of pipeweed
44 A whiteleaf
6 A bulb of garlic
6 A root of parsnip
11 A leaf of clover
8 A ginseng root
6 A lotus petal
10 A nightshade
462 Total

It was as easy as that.

all the info you have. ;)
You tell Baphomet: any exact room ?
Baphomet tells you: Nope. They're as randomized as nightshades. Just that one
area that I've noticed them though. And I've gathered
from all over. But that is the only place I've found on.
You tell Baphomet: I remember as a level 1 ranger there was this one room

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^M Title: 'Re: Rookie Concerns...' // Iolo <19> Sun Aug 4 18:46:21 2002 I've found that using a bow with a ranger makes killing larger NPCs much easier, and makes advancing a pretty quick process. Using dark bow or unique silver longbow in combination with your wolf and sometimes elude makes most 9k kills very killable. Using melee weapons can be more painful, but make use of medicine and Graddam to heal your wolf between fights and you should get by just fine. Also with strike, you can be quite an accomplished basher in a party to get XP quickly. Also, when taming wolves, remember that you can raise your wis with various items quite easily. Crosier of Pain: +2 wis Dark Brown potion from Dubo: +1 wis Greenleaf: +1 wis Academy class: +1 wis All are cumulative, so you could potentially gain +5 wis to get the wolf you desire.

Title: 'Graddam, etc' // Iolo <19> Sun Aug 4 19:29:40 2002 Graddam is north of ranger camp, across the bridge. I'd recommend getting a sorcerer's map and exploring north of ranger camp, his area is very small. You could also track him. Crosier of Pain can be found in the gnollish temple, west of ranger camp, I'd suggest exploring it extensively and bring lots of heals - it can be painful, and one of the NPC's follows. :) Dark Brown potion can be traded for pelts at the village Norton north of ranger camp. Again, a sorcerer's map will help you find it, and I recommend exploring it - it's a fun area. Greenleaf can be purchased in Scythe camp, found in treasure hunts, or at various shops. The Academy is west of ranger camp, northeast of Thrannakkak or however you spell it. Find a clock there to see when the next class session is, and attend! ...exploration is essential to any successful adventurer. ;) - Iolo End of note number 233. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pelts, pelts everywhere, but where did I leave my wolf
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 'Oh dear.' // Killcrazy <10> Mon Nov 4 20:08:43 2002 I leave you people for a second and you get stupid. *sigh* GhanimX and Lyric: You forgot 'A Wolf', from treasure hunts. It's large docile, but I'm not sure on wisdom, I've lost most of my notes. Apart from that, nice list. Last three: Here is the thing. Those four pelt clothings, collars boots and gloves, give you 26exp per pelt - at the highest quality. Unless you have 80 or so woodcraft, you're not going to be succesful enough to make it worth it. Pouches, packs, and sacks all give 25exp per pelt. The only difference is the weight and the amount of pelts needed. At low levels, stick with pouches. With 16 pelts, there is an unforgivably high chance of messing up two sacks, while you'd have to be pretty unlucky to mess up all 8 pouches. Pouches weigh .5 bottles of beer per pelt, and need 2 pelts to make. Packs weigh .167 bottles of beer per pelt, and need 6 pelts to make. Sacks weigh .125 bottles of beer per pelt, and need 8 pelts to make. By the way, stoles give 224 exp altogether (is that right? I'm doing this from memory). That's just under 25 exp per pelt. If a stole weighs 1 bottle of beer, it would be the best for weight. So in conclusion: Pouches when you care about the exp, sacks when you care about the weight, packs (or stoles) if you hate the mechanics of putting lots of sacks into one big sack. -KC used to play this game.

So a elf/helf ranger will never be able to cut a great bowstave no matter how many attempts they make. *curses violently* And as for staffs..

So yah.. better craftsman but not strong enough to use the bow for anything and i believe someone had a good explination about how much strength is needed to cut the bowstave. So your best chances are the potion or sspawn but each has clear drawbacks. The potion might not last long enough to cut the bowstave unless you're lucky and well prepared.

You are standing along the village shore just south of Main street. To the
west is the side of the Adventurer's Guild. The road overlooks the village
harbour to the east, and you can see the run-down shacks which make up the
harbour businesses. At the southern end of the harbour you can see the open
sea. The road continues to the south.
Obvious directions are:
north, south.

ocean extends off far to the east, although a slight haze on the horizon
suggests that there may be land somewhere out there. A small, deteriorated
hut lies to the west, but there's no way into it from here. There is a
narrow alley which runs alongside the hut. The back of a warehouse of some
kind is to the east. The land rises to the south as it approaches the
marketplace.

wall of the adventurer's guild to the north. A deteriorated hut is collapsing
to the south, but you can see no way of entering it from here. The strong
stone wall that comprises the back of the Tantallon bank is to the west. For
a dead-end alley, you see a surprising number of footprints in the dirt.

from here. To the north, you can see Main Street and the row of businesses
along it, and further north you see Pike Street and the northern village

the Tower of the Magi blocks your view of the western side of town. To the
south you can see the Tantallon marketplace and a section of high density
housing just within the wall further south. Your view of the eastern side of

note cat fight info
Tor and myself had two cat fight's, one toe'2'toe and one with me lying down
and from these I have learned the following:
1> cat level doesn't affect how hard you hit, just how good your armour is.
2> lying on the ground reduces the effect of armour and your chance to hit.
cat 5 V cat 3 cat 5 (lie) V cat 4

Title: 'Tests yield no "best" attack' // Ghanimk <17> Mon Dec 18 12:20:30 2000
Using the average damage info I got with Tor:-
scratched: Range: 1 to 1 Average Damage: 1.00
clawed: Range: 2 to 2 Average Damage: 2.00
raked: Range: 0 to 4 Average Damage: 2.94
gouged: Range: 5 to 9 Average Damage: 6.74
mauled: Range: 10 to 18 Average Damage: 12.50
I worked out the HP's damage done in the 100 battles with bats:-
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+
|bats dead| 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 |
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+
|attack |random|crush |chop |slash |pierce|
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+
|scratched| 28 | 26 | 19 | 26 | 14 |
|clawed | 48 | 58 | 62 | 34 | 50 |
|raked | 367.5| 341.0| 344.0| 332.2| 308.7|
|gouged |1496.3|1509.8|1496.3|1543.5|1624.3|
|mauled | 287.5| 200.0| 225.0| 225.0| 225.0|
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+
Total hp's|2227.3|2134.8|2146.3|2160.7|2222.0|
So from this I get the best to worst attack for cat 5 to be:
random (2227), pierce (2222), slash (2160), chop (2146) and crush (2135).
Compared with what I got the last time (without the average damage info):
pierce (260), slash (264), crush (269), chop (281) and random (284).
Since the two ways of working out the best attack differ so much (random is
the best one way and the worst another way) I think you can ignore all this.
And if 20 battles with bats for each attack didn't really show any real
"best" attack then there is no real "best" attack method (for cat 5).
Only thing I did workout is that a bat has approx 106 hp's or has Con 8
(8x8+42=106hp's)

|bats dead| 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 |
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+

+---------+------+------+------+------+------+
Total hp's|2227.3|2134.8|2146.3|2160.7|2222.0|
Here is the average damage per attack round:
Random: 2227.3/(75+28+24+222+125+23)=4.481 hp's/round
Crush: 2134.8/(62+26+29+224+116+16)=4.513 hp's/round
Chop: 2146.3/(69+19+31+222+117+18)=4.509 hp's/round
Slash: 2160.7/(64+26+17+229+113+18)=4.627 hp's/round
Pierce: 2222.0/(59+14+25+241+105+18)=4.810 hp's/round
So the order is:
Pierce, Slash, Crush, Chop and Random
Compared with what I got the first time:
pierce (260), slash (264), crush (269), chop (281) and random (284).
So it does looks like the best attack for cat 5 is PIERCE

I could be wrong. Xaerre Highest Dammage / lowest Armour Drakon Medium Damage / Medium Armour Treant Lowest Damage / Highest Armour -Xaerre: Being able to wield weapons give them the ability to do the most amount of damage / While skin and Fur are not known as the best for a base Armour class. -Drakon: Claws and Tail attacks at the lower level do a fair or medium amount of damage, I've yet to get breathe attacks so they're not factored in yet / Scales have been historicaly (storywise) a fairly good armour, Dragons are hard to kill unless they have a scale missing. -Treant: Branch swings have the ability to hit fairly hard, its just that you some times don't hit as often as you'd like / Bark, I'm still wondering if axes affect the damage you recieve.

How to kill as a shifter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: 'Faster Exp for Panthers and Nelitos' // Miraitrunks <16> Sun Jun 30 21:41:01 2002
Once I got panther with my old alt, and nelitos with this alt, i didn't know
what to do beside run around up by ranger camp and kill the animals. The exp
came extremely slow, and it got depressing fast, so i decided to look for a
new way to get exp. I tried the brawling arena, but too much time in between,
which would be good for idling in forms, but oh well.
Eventually I decided to try this tactic:
Grab some parky/gold pipe, meds, wineskin full of whiskey/crutch/whatever the
hell you like best. if you're rich some pots, and a however many kniggets you
feel like blowing.
What i did is went to some of the easier 3-6k's (at level 12, the level I
started doing this at, these are very nice exp) drop the kniggets in the room
with the npc, type in dotimes 100 bite, and go at it. whenever you get low on
hp/sp eat a knigget until you get stuffed, then leave the room and heal up,
and repeat. With nelitos 2 it would take me about 2-3 repeats of this to kill
general/wyvern/Fairy/Dragon things like that, at nelitos 4 i can take Sati
out with only using a cvouple of knigs..
With this method I find i don't get bored as often, and It's actually fairly
easy to make 1k a minute with a mid leveled shifter.
Try it out before you bash it.

Not sure if these are completely accurate but tor gave me his time
requirements for his primary form a long time ago, figured id post them on
the board... Once again do not hold me to these number, not completly sure of
the accuracy. For some clans it may be slower or faster then others, but
ROUGHLY, for your primary clan, the final form should look something like
this... 1-2 8 hrs 2-3 13 hrs 3-4 21 hrs 4-5 33 hrs.

I can confirm that drakon 1-2 took 8 hours, drakon 2-3 took 13 hours and
drakon 3-4 took 21 hours. I won't be timing drakon 4-5 however as i'm only
gaining time it as i fight for exp for other forms... figured why bother
getting to drakon 5 and then waste time in form while killing with it :)
The times i have listed above are all within 2-3 mins of the full hour.. and
i only dropped form 3 times.. once at when i received drakon 3 to activate
the breath attack, and twice for about 30 seconds each time to show a few
sfeels.

You do. And of course that goes only for the forms that can you can get xp in. What I suggest, is that for panther 3 you need: 1. 80k xp got in any form 2. 20k xp got in any panther form 3. 8 hours spent in panther form If you're getting the xp in form, you also gain some time in form... for those who have no idea how to kill in panther (I don't believe there are ppl like that but I'm generalizing) 8 hours would well run out, but you would only get 15k xp in panther, and still need 5k xp in panther form no matter that the time is up. About eq sets, here's what I use (on top of permed armour ;=) Drakon: spidey, gammy, whitegolden ring (value 1200 or 1600)/sturdy ring/zarkan's rings Xaerre: all that + brobe/turkey+fine gauntlets/fine vambraces Treant: nothing.

I'll even go so far as to drop my pack in the room i'm fighting in (when possible) as it seems to make a lot of difference. The only sacrifices I may make are nbc spidey or a ring. The odd time i'll take the turkey robe, but not often. It's amazing even what a naked drakon can do to a 9K+ kill even without a breath. End of note number 246. ---***--- Title: 'Xaerre equipment' // Caesura <19> Mon May 5 22:33:34 2003 Note: I only have experience with high dex race shifters, this might not be the case for Humans/Dwarves/Helves as they have a lower dex and thus dodge less effectively even without equipment. Keep that in mind while you read this ;) I haven't done any controlled tests, but I agree with Anskiere about Xaerre armor. The few times I've gone out of my way to get a full set of Xaerre equipment (not counting amulets/rings), I usually end up having to run away and heal -more- often than when I simply go around fighting naked. Fights just seem harder, and I tend to take more damage.. I did come up with a couple theories for what causes this, and I think it is right: Either it's very very bad luck on my part, or the weight penalties for using defend dodge are so strong that they simply overpower the ac bonuses of the armor you wear. In the latter case races who have a weak dodge (such as Dwarves) would probably be best off using defend none+equipment, but.. Anyway, I could be wrong. Would love to see some controlled tests on the subject, but it would have to be rather extensive and I doubt anyone cares enough :) End of note number 248. ---***--- Title: 're: last' // Sarc <19> Tue May 6 01:44:28 2003 Assuming that you fight the harder npcs with any regularity and also use hungas/pots/non-droppable heals and/or archery, 'none' is preferable to 'dodge' anyway so you might as well have the armour. At least thats my experience *shrug* ^-- thats xaerres btw, drakons are always good to dodge ( so long as you juggle your heals a bit).

Damage from hunga-munga's (weapons seller in Dalair)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: 'Damage done by hunga-munga' // Guinness <19> Tue Jan 2 19:35:27 2001 Ok here is the results of what I found by experimenting with hunga 's on a maxed stats orc fighter wearing no armour: By the way, the damage was also done by a maxed out orc fighter. With MMS=85 and throw weapon=100: Damage done by hunga was a consistant 37 hit points. With MMS=54 and throw weapon=34: Damage done by hunga was a consistant 21 hit points. This appears to work out at 0.4 hit point damage per MMS skill. So at 100 skill in MMS you should probably be doing somewhere in the region of 40-44 hit point damage. (With a higher thrown weapon I suppose you would miss less). Ghanime helped with working out this but if there are any other race/class's that would like to experiment to see what damage can be done then send me or Ghanime a mudmail or a tell if you see us online.

Killcrazy's weapon and shapeshifter damage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Killcrazy (real email removed to protect the innocent)
To: Ghanima
Subject: Combat damage messages
Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 22:31:44 +0000
Firstly, some basics about the damage messages - these should help you fill
in some of the gaps:
- The exp you receive per hit is twice the damage dealt,
- Shifters in form can only do up to 20 damage (though Paldin has been
playing around with the class since I took these - you might want to
check up on that)
- Wolves receive marginally less exp per hit than players, which
complicates the results - the % less seems to depend on whether you are fighting
with your wolf.
- While I haven't done any serious testing for spells, it also seems
that the exp you receive for the hit is twice the damage.
- The damage messages themselves seem to fall into groups:
1 damage messages
2 damage messages
3-4 damage messages
5-9 damage messages
10-19 damage messages
20-29 damage messages
30+ damage messages
- A 30+ damage message really IS 30+. You can deal upwards of 50 damage
to Balan's Beast per hit, and it will show a 30+ damage message. I would
conclude that if there is an upper limit, it is far out of reasonable
range to hit it.
- Some weapons have different messages - sword of frost, stone-cutter
swords, stanhokes, and pillows (my two personal favorites) to name a few. They
all seem to have the same damage categories.
Okay, here you go. Please note, there are many gaps, simply because I
don't have that many characters. Any gaps you can fill in would be much
appreciated.
Slash - like longsword, two-handed sword, shortsword, polearm, and curved blade.
1 - You nicked somebody's bodypart.
2 - You notched somebody's bodypart.
3-4 - You slit somebody's bodypart.
5-9 - You sliced somebody's bodypart deeply.
10-19 - You slashed somebody's bodypart viciously.
20-29 - You sheared somebody's bodypart ruthlessly.
30+ - You cleaved somebody's bodypart violently.
Crush - like club, unarmed, staff, flail, and exotic (note that bows are staves)
1 - You battered somebody's bodypart.
2 - You pummelled somebody's bodypart.
3-4 - You clubbed somebody's bodypart.
5-9 - You pounded somebody's bodypart heartlessly.
10-19 - You bludgeoned somebody's bodypart heavily.
20-29 - You hammered somebody's bodypart brutaly.
30+ - You pulverised somebody's bodypart into mash.
Pierce - like spear, marksmanship, knife, and rapier
1 - You pricked somebody's bodypart.
2 - You stuck somebody's bodypart.
3-4 - You lacerated somebody's bodypart.
5-9 - You pierced somebody's bodypart keenly.
10-19 - You impaled somebody's bodypart sharply.
20-29 - You skewered somebody's bodypart.
30+ - You perforated somebody's bodypart like a sieve.
Chop - like axe, and two handed axe
1 - You cut somebody's bodypart.
2 - You hacked somebody's bodypart.
3-4 - You gashed somebody's bodypart.
5-9 - You chopped somebody's bodypart bluntly.
10-19 - You hewed somebody's bodypart crudely.
20-29 - You cleaved somebody's bodypart into hash.
30+ - You carved somebody's bodypart with brute force.
Wolf -
1 - Wolf nipped at somebody's bodypart.
2 - Wolf bites somebody's bodypart.
3-4 - Wolf bites somebody's bodypart hard.
5-9 - Wolf savages somebody's bodypart.
10-19 - Wolf brutally savages somebody's bodypart.
20-29 - Wolf gnashed somebody's bodypart.
30+ - Wolf snacks on somebody's bodypart. (Only got this a couple of times ever.)
Old messages - Before combat was revamped, we got these - (I tested these
from the giant's conference - There is a bug there that makes you get hit to
old damage messages)
1 - You tickled somebody's bodypart.
2 - You grazed somebody's bodypart.
3-4 - You hit somebody's bodypart.
5-9 - You hit somebody's bodypart hard.
10-19 - You hit somebody's bodypart very hard. (They liked their messages to the point)
20-29 - You smashed somebody's bodypart with a bonecrushing sound.
30+ - You massacred somebody's bodypart to small fragments.
Chameleon Mini-shifters
1 - You poked somebody's bodypart.
2 - You bit somebody's bodypart gently.
3-4 - You hit somebody's bodypart painfully.
5-9 - You gouged somebody's bodypart.
10-19 - You mauled somebody's bodypart brutally.
20+ - None.
Nelitos Medi-shifters
1 - You bit somebody's bodypart painlessly.
2 - You clawed somebody's bodypart.
3-4 - You hit somebody's bodypart painfully.
5-9 - You gouged somebody's bodypart.
10-19 - You raked somebody's bodypart brutally.
20+ - None.
Drakon Maxi-shifters
1 - You poked somebody's bodypart.
2 - You bit somebody's bodypart gently.
3-4 - You clawed somebody's bodypart painfully.
5-9 - You gouged somebody's bodypart.
10-19 - You kicked somebody's bodypart brutally.
20+ - None.
As you can see, lots more information needed before it is near complete
brawl, spell damage (thought that would be slightly harder), other shifter
forms, specialist weapons (Stanhokes! Whee!).
Hope this helps,
KC

Each metal type of the rings is predetermind as to what it is. Gold and bronze are both and always will be vulnerability. Each other type of ring is some type of protection, whether it be to head, body, arm, leg or multiple locations with the exception of a mithril ring, which is full body protection. Daikko, just found this out pretty recently. End of note number 245. Title: 'work for clerics' // Thothamon <19> Fri Oct 5 19:10:58 2001 If you take a Zarkan ring, say, cold resistance/vulnerability, get a cleric to cast uncurse on it which removes the vulnerability part. *woo* End of note number 232.

Title: '...' // Thothamon <19> Sat Oct 6 14:19:47 2001 just removes the vulnerability part, also, I'm told a uncurse will remove the frog curse part from a Zarky ring. End of note number 236. ---***--- Title: 'Zarkan's Rings' // Peaveytwo <19> Sat Dec 1 01:53:37 2001 Ok, since I've been meaning to post this forever and always keep forgetting to do it, I'm going to finally do it now. The type of metal determines what type of protection (if any) that the ring has. Brass ring is vulnerability. Bronze ring is vulnerability. Copper and Iron are arm and leg protection (not sure which is which). Electrum ring is head protection. Gold ring is vulnerability. Mithril ring is full body protection. Platinum ring is multiple location protection. Silver ring is body protection. Tin ring is vulnerability. The glow determines any bonuses from the ring. Blue glow is cold resistance. Green glow is poison resistance. Pink glow is frog curse. Red glow is fire resistance. Violet glow is regeneration. White glow is sainthood. Yellow glow is magic resistance. Now to determine what ring is what, you just get the ring and look at it. The metal will tell you the type of protection it has (if any) and the glow (if any) will list the bonus... The best ring by far in this game is a mithril ring with a violet glow, which is full body protection and regeneration. (My opinion it's the best, anyway). Another note, all rings that are vulnerability (Brass, Bronze, Gold, and Tin) can be uncursed. When it's uncursed it is no longer vulnerability. But also when it's uncursed it has no type of protection. So if the ring has no glow and you have it uncursed to remove the vulnerability, it will do nothing at all for you. Peaveytwo, better late than never. End of note number 105. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
