    Ive been harvesting the flowers for the First 4 extracts for RVMs and end up with 4k of each (100 extracts, 50 RVM's) ,but Ive been debating if I should Mix on Non Scholars days or Save the flowers for mixing on scholars day. I guess it comes down to this: Do I want to wait for more Exp and CF (in which case, leveling muling would be have to be put on hold) or Do I want exp and CF right then and there? The only problem with NOT waiting for scholars day is what if the next day is scholars day and I dont have Ings for Scholars day. Its always that fear of "what if the next day is awesome" that gets me.

     

    So whats your opinion on this matter?

    In my case it is just long-term planning, call it hoarding if you wish.

     

    It is not possible to reach serious goals without serious stock of supplies.

     

    Ditto. Harv Ings, wait for scholars or joules day, Then Mix. Of course, I do some mixing in between to keep up my stock of HE/SRS. Recently my bank has been around 50k to 100k, and its dipped to 5k whenever I see a good deal on market for something. Im saving up for NMT cape though. After that, Human 6 and maybe vegetal 6. I dont think you would consider that work to be hoarding, but Like her, I have long term goals in mind.

    So Ive been running around since the stuff came out, two days straight. It uses an Insane amount of Food to run (Toads + Antis ftw). People have been asking me question about the stuff, So Im creating a FAQ about it:

     

     

    How do I run?

    Drink a potion of speed hax

     

    What does a potion of speed hax allow you to do?

    It allows you to run.

     

     

    Do you Use Food when Sitting?

    No, Regular Food usage.

     

    How long does the running last?

    Forever, Unless you get below -29 Food. Other than that it will last forever if you keep eating.

     

    Can you mix?

    Yeap. Pretty much "normal" EL life with running and Huge food usage when going from place to place. This means harvesting,mixing,magic,fighting..etc.

     

    Can you become a mule

    No.

     

    How much are these potions?

    Depending on the price of Lenny furs-1.5k to 3k (3k being bot price)

     

    what are the ings to the potion?

    Lenny Furs, MoP, AE. The full recipe can be found here

     

    How fast do you run?

    2x speed, and times are halved, however there are some path finding losses and isnt much of a big deal really. Still quicker than walking.

     

    Is there any icon on your HUD that says if you are in running mode?

    Nope. You'll just move faster and food will go down quickly.

     

    How fast is food consumed?

    The food usage is now variable and depends on how much your carrying, if your full you will use more food than when empty (Based on %EMU full). I have found it uses up to 1 Food PER STEP when full (600 EMU as Of now)

     

    Can you run with armor on?

    Yes

     

    If I log out, can I still run?

    Yes.

     

    Do you harvest faster when using a speed hax pot?

    No.

     

    Im pretty sure Ive missed some, so I'll add as I go.

    I voted No, Yes.

     

    Ive begun to TS on ogres, partly because Armed orcs give crappy drops. Ogres drop 3 capes (mirror, BP,MM-Ive heard NMT but I have yet to see it), armed orcs only drops HE , SRS and BR-wth? Increase rare drops for Armed Orcs and I may move on. I get more Exp for ogres than I do with Orcs for the same resource usage.

    I agree with what Anna has been saying in her last two posts, but to add there still are some cautionary actions one can take to make sure nothing gets stolen/broken lost;

     

    1) Take off everything even if you are in storage. It may take some time to put stuff back on (I only wear CoL + cape) or waste some HE, but its better than loosing a 60kgc item.

     

    2) Carry Dis Rings where ever you go. This will help, but cool down at start up is a problem here.

     

    3) Be aware. IIRC, Gossip can email you if theres an invasion.

     

    But there are still somethings one can do even if you cant fight. Some of these assume your fast on the clicker...

     

    1) Put everything in storage and go spotting. You'll get to explore and bit and see what the monsters of EL look like. Your best bet in this would be to scout ahead with a group of people.

     

    2) Go extra DE? Pair up with a tank and harm some monsters. The point of a invasion is to end it quickly and to get as many drops as possible right? You can also heal people also, just stick close to the tanks. Summoning might also work, but only if your >=level 30, however it can get quite spammy in a small map (White dragon in VOTD anyone? ;p)

     

    I Do agree that some kinda of safe zone other than IP should be declared. If I had to choose, it would be VOTD or NC. Both are small maps and have most harvestables on them, so atleast if you dont have any ings, you wont be left too high and dry.

    Nerdz-Its been a couple years since Ive had this tag, but I think I choose it partially because of my personality and Likes. Yea Im a Nerd in real life :P, but Nerd and geek are pretty broad terms. I took it mostly because of my love of science and engineering.

     

    On a off topic note, some n00b on channel 1 complained about my name be derogatory, Of course, he doesnt know the story behind it.

    I found a rather Odd problem. Ive been training in Zirak where the ogre spawn is, when I pick up the bag every now and then (like every 5th bag) bones would disappear. Ive had a Full inventory when its happened and Ive kept the bag open to see if it disappears, and it does (only happens every couple of bags though). There was one other odd problem I found, with the same ogre spawn. I would pick up stuff from the db, and the bag would be empty, but it would still display.

     

    I dont think my eyes are deceiving me, but I would like to know if someone else gets the same thing

     

    ADD: Gold is changing also. It happens so quick I cant take a screen shot. I open bag and gold changes from a high number to a lower number (or rather it looks like its changing to a random amount)

     

    ADD2: One other note, there were bones on the ground that I couldnt hold in my inv, but I dont know how this would make bones in a DB disappear.

     

    ADD3: Im also using the get all button. also doesnt seem to matter if inv is full or not, it just seems to happen more often when inv is full. Im updating as I can think of anything else. Im also pretty sure its not going to my inv.

     

    ADD4: This is getting strange, without clicking the get all button, I get a error message saying my inv is full. However, my Inv isnt full and the error message shows up in the Inv Window

     

    ADD5: Im having problems with the get all button. Sometimes it just doesnt work. Also, last night was the day of more grief.

    I dont know if this is a map error, or some collision detection error with bears,

    EL just crashed going from MM to WS, no warning or nothing.

    Apt-get tells me theres new drivers for my card, but I dont think thats the problem. This has been the only crash Ive had in EL (thats not related to me messing with my system).

    I may be a bit late saying this, but oh well.

     

    Im just starting out in manu'ing, but has anyone thought of costs? Leather costs 4.667, and thread costs 2 gc. Leather helms use 3 leathers and 4 threads which comes to a total of 22gc. You can sell leather helms to trik for 20gc, so your loosing 2gc per helm. Not Much, However it does add up over time (assuming you do another skill to cover the loss). Once you get to 28 (or a couple levels down) you can start making S2E, which seem to be the only item that is profitable. Manu pots can be used to start making S2E at level 26.

     

    If my calcs are correct, by time you get to a point where you no fail at S2E (level 56 manu), and assuming a average success of 75%, you'll end up with 1.3k Hydro Bar, which is appr 27 nexus's.

     

    *Yes, I know I assumed 75% success On average. In reality, I would have to use calculus to integrate the success rate vs manu level.

    If your haveing dreams about this game just send me a PM ill send you to the nearest phycho ward

     

    Im hoping thats sarcasm and not troll bait. Dreams Are random Firings of the nerves from within your brain, your conscious mind then puts together those random firings to something that makes sense, which also happens to be random too. However, dreaming is also when your brain strengthens connections thats were damaged during the day and also establishes new ones. The brain also "remembers" actions you took during the day, for example, if you were trying a new sport, you brain would remember the exact locations of your muscles and reinforce them, thus making you better. Thus when you try that new thing the next day, you'll be that much better at it since you'll remember what you did the previous day. So Yes, if you want to get better at something, practice but get a good nights sleep.

     

    Anywhoo, Ive had them too once or twice, Something with Mixing and the whole world shaking and turning. I was thinking of suggesting a random earth quake through all of C1 and C2, so maybe it stemmed from that idea. Yea, nothing interesting, Just me sitting and mixing :P.

    I Love this idea =D, but I dislike the idea of having a high summoning level (60) to make tokens. IIRC, you can make summoning stones at level 30, shouldnt you be able to do the same with tokens? Just a thought, thats the only complaint I have, other than that, when can we expect to see this skill? Would it be a gold sink like archery (or as much of a gold sink)?

  23. Posted · Report reply

    I voted Yes, and because it would stimulate the market even more. People are going to be needed to make the steel, iron and FEs used to make S2Es, thus there would be a greater demand and lower supply on those items which would drive the price up. Players get their free PP while us alcher's Get richer. Its a Win-Win in my mind.

    This happens to me too, I log it, then it logs me out when I try to post. I figured it was a Firefox Problem, but now that I know someone else has the same problem, Im starting to think its a EL forum problem. The strange thing is, It ONLY happens to windows (because, I wouldnt be able to post this if I was on a windows machine- I am on linux).

     

    However. Using Wine and Firefox I dont have a problem-wtf? Emulated Windows works better than windows itself.
