Well, unfortunately I already got all nexus, and I'm not resetting again... like I said, I don't mind if it takes awhile to get back to normal. As long as I'm on the right course, I'm happy. So if I read correctly, get Phy/Cord up to 20's first... then Vit...then Will?

Ok, my stats so far are p/c 8/14... everything else is 4....and I'm sitting on 4 PP. I'm burning Titanium Bars in school for PP's. Before my reset, I was fighting Trolls... that is how I got up to att/def 51/60. But I didn't get there using this guide... so my pick point placement was all screwed up.I think my phy/cord was 36/36... I was killing them too fast, and taking lots of damage. I had to get all my nexuses first, so I know it'll take me awhile to get back to trolls... but thats ok. I still believe this guide is the best plan of action for me. I still want to manu stuff, but I also hope to fight the dragon one day. =) So as far as PP goes, I thought you needed to bring them all up at same time LOL I would much rather load up HEALTH right away! So you suggest I get phy/cor up to 24/20 first... and then start raising Vit to 24...and then Will to 12?

Hey MP... quick question... should I readjust my PP placement? My att/def is kinda lopsided (51/60)... I didn't have this guide way back when LOL I reset to apply your guide, and so far working nicely... just want this to be my LAST reset LOL. I will not take ANY neg perks again... so might take me awhile longer to get back to normal... but ty!

Could you give me the location of this cave please... I'm doing great with the penguins, but getting tired of running from Yeti LOL EDIT: Ok, went to Spider Cave... large spiders were giving me +37 xp...same set up as with penguins...and they hurt me. Going back to penguins ;-)

I cannot thank you enough for this guide... I was placing my PP in the wrong place, and killing way to quickly. This guide is PERFECT! I seem to have very long battles with little/no damage to me. I made a new character to test this guide out, and he's doing awesome... so good, that I decided to RESET JimP (promised myself no more resets). Thank you again for this.... JimP PS: Just to give more info to this guide... Phy 8 Cor 8 Rea 4 Will 12 Ins 4 Vit 24 Att 25 Def 24 I am fighting Chinstrap Penguins and getting Att+41 Def+42 Wearing Leather Torso, Aug Pants,leather helm and boots, Unicorn Med. Taking little damage... getting lots of xp per penguine...battles last awhile! What little damage I get, I use HEAL spell to up my Magic. Don't have to cast often... usually just keeping belly full of food is enough. Getting +451 Att +615 Def = +1066 xp per Chinstrap Penguin! Once more... thank you for this guide! PSS: Took me awhile to figure out what TS meant (True Sight Potion). By taking pot, and failing, it temp lowers your DEF, hence more xp!

Ok, I voted Ferros, and I am no-where near ready to train on them yet... but if there is a shortage in the game, then thats what I want. But definitely not in a PK area...because I have no interest in PKing...or being PK'd.

Ok.... I did this, and had little effect....besides making the game seem a lot smaller. A ship that I could see in the distance is now gone. I did this, and this did seem to have some effect... FPS went up a little. I turned it down to 50... and my FPS went to around 20. Is this going to be a mandatory upgrade? Or will we be allowed to play No-Clusters? I understand this is still in production... but will those of us having problems be able to TURN-Off-Sky?

Ok...was having problems with sky2....so tried sky2no-clusters....ran for a looong time... but then un-expected crash...runtime error...send to microsoft? lol Sky3 seems to be running fine so far....beautiful sky images... saw a really cool sunset!!!....crossing fingers....this is all on my Laptop. EDIT: Ok, running smooth for 8+ hrs now...but huge drop in fps. Sky is a very interesting effect... not sure if its worth the FPS loss. FPS dropped down to 5-12 fps... too jittery to play. Edit Edit: Could chopping the Harvest Effect down help a little... I don't know if you can see.. but harvest effect mist travels all the way up to top of screen... Also, is it just me, or has the game become a lot darker?

Woohooo.....No-Clusters SKY RULES!!! LOL Harvesting Yew at night. EDIT: For the record, this was on my Laptop. I tried running ElSky... but had the same results as desktop...ran for a bit, then crashed. ElSky-NoClusters seems to be working fine. What the fruck is a cruster?!?!?!

Beautiful SKY pics Sammy!!!! man I wish I could run that!!!

Ok...turned water off (o) ....and selected POOR-MAN settings.... EDIT: PS: I really like how ALL of the numbers are outlined in black now...makes them all pop out!!! Very nice. PSS: Rotating view still feels sticky...not smooth like before. Before, if I rotated quickly, I'd whip around and slow down to a stop... very cool feel. Now, it feels like stuck in the mud...need multi clicks to rotate. PSSS: Did I mention how much I love the black outline around the numbers? LOL

Seems exact same with EXTENDED CAM not checked... I tried launching without Extended cam checked... I exited to outdoors....still screwey... when I check EXTENDED CAM... it seems to zoom out a little...but same screwey effects. EDIT: Would this have anything to do with No-Clusters? Is there a SKY version that is No-Clusters? (Still no clue what a cluster is, but my desktop doesn't seem to like them LOL)

Ok...a few things I noticed.... Before Sky....numbers looked normal.... Now, numbers look a lot smaller, and spaced way out.. Also, here are the shots when I left the crypt... and when I tried rotating out of situation... Then EL crashes, and asks to send report to MS. Also, rotation seems like dragging feet in sand....instead of a quick rotation, with one swipe.... I have to multi click/drag to rotate 360 degrees.

When I rotate screen....gets all screwy...like I'm inside of trees, can't seem to rotate out...even though I didn't walk. This happened near Crypt Enterance in Tarsengaard. I was running No-Clusters before.... with no problems.

Ok, I'm a Windows XP user...and have been for many years... but I am SERIOUSLY considering Linux (openSuSE)... But I have NO CLUE how to install programs in Linux... that is the main obstacle I have... the rest I'm sure I can learn down the road. So could someone PLEASE post a video tutorial how to install EL in Linux?

Thank you!!! I'll try this out after I wipe this system.... I'm going to Duel Boot for starters... not ready to completely cut the apron strings just yet LOL I can't wait to try this out! TY The_Piper !

When Leonard eats player: ------------------------------- Everyone who gets to live take 2 steps forward... hold on a second <player name>! <Player name> is allergic to felines with great prejudice. You can tell a Leonard dropping, by looking at the little pieces of <player name> in it. Leanord agrees <player name> is the OTHER white meat. <Player name> is giving Leonard a colon exam the hard way! Leonard ate the <player name> pill, and followed the Rabbit down its hole. Leonard and <player name> are playing tag with "St.Pete" Leonard smoked <player name>, but he didn't inhale! When player beats Leonard: ------------------------------------ <Player name> is now wearing leopard skin socks! <Player name> showed Leonard a different way to skin a cat! Leonard should have cut the blue wire. The "early-<player name>" gets the Leonard! Leonard drank the cool-aid !

This statement shows you are a n00b newb when it comes to the EL combat (specifically training) system. Iron Swords, Steel longs, etc. are sometimes VERY useful to a high level a/d'er. Oh I agree with you 100%... I am a newbie when it comes to combat. I'm trying to learn it now... taking a little break from manufacturing for awhile. What I have learned is this... to train, you really don't need a weapon... because you want the fight to last as long as possible. I'd like to see this changed.... so that swords are more in demand, hence more jobs for manu'rs =) Is it fair that you can buy an iron sword to train on a fluffy? Could I hunt a rhino with a cap gun? No, I'd need to invest in a high powered rifle just to pierce the hide of the animal. So now I need to hire a blacksmith to forge a weapon for me. Could I use his same high powered rifle to kill a rat? Yeah... a little overkill, but do-able. I just think making a demand for all swords would help this game out. EDIT: Not jut make them in demand, but also more breakable on higher level creatures. So, as this post is requesting, make the Titanium swords use 100 fe... hence making more jobs...and if they break, that makes more jobs too! Wouldn't it be nice if all swords were in demand? I'm sure the drops you get from a fluffy would cover the cost of a tit long.

Quick question.... Are you allowed to Read in the entire data base every 5 min? Can you save this in an array, and use the array to display 5 players at a time? Would this help take a strain off the EL Server... one person reading the entire database... as opposed to 1,000 people picking at it bit by bit?

WOW! That is VERY nice... wish it would work with 5 players.... but this is awesome! Very clean feel to it. Nice Work!

Ok...I have to agree with Paul here... When the formula for Titanium Swords was written... EFE's were not as rare as they are today. Now that EFE's are sooo rare...we need to adjust the formulas for MANU. It is already hard to work on your Manu skill... because you need an EFE to make anything of value. Swords break all the time.... so 100fe to make one sounds fair. For those of us who like building things... could you please level the playing field for us? If there is too much of something in the game...well, then instead of making it harder to make, and giving us Manuers a hard time... how about making it break easier... so we are in more demand? EFE's are so rare, that the skill of MANU is pretty much dying out. I've purchased all these books, read them all...and now I can spend 6k to make an 800gc object =S EDIT: How about making swords more breakable depending on what you're fighting... that will help get rid of some swords, hence creating a demand for them! Iron swords are meant for noobs... so they should only be good for creatures that noobs will fight. A noob will probably not be attacking a bear anytime soon... but if he wants to go for it, he better buy a stronger sword. A TitShort should NOT break if you attack a bunny.... but if you take on a dragon, then it should have a HIGH chance of breaking. Creature/Breakage % Iron Sword: Bunny 1% Wolf 10% Gargoyle 20% Bear 50% Troll 90% Titanium Short: Bunny 0% Wolf 2% Gargoyle 5% Bear 10% Troll 15% So fighting an Ogre with an Iron sword is pointless...it'll break right away... better bring a Titanium Steel!!!! ;-)

"Preconstruction Arrows" LMAO

Oh nice....Ent said yes.... this is now my official page to look up player stats LOL Sometimes its hard to ask gossip a players stats... when they use l33t names...not sure if I type sp0iler or spOiler... this new lookup system you have is VERY user friendly! Thanks for the hard work! EDIT: Found a small flaw.... Try looking up _rei_marcus ... he is online right now... but your search engine isn't allowing "_" (underscore) EDIT EDIT: Ok, now I guess it is working...took a looong time to find _rei.... but it did find it!

LMFAO!!!! I can't stop laughing about the "sticks" comment! Give them sticks and logs...and explain the Logs are for Crossbows!
