  1. Advice for Newb Instance

    Sounds to me like else than you guys misreading A, there were no other disagreements. The fact that you only attacked A, which you misread, means the other stuff suggests that, at least. Any other disagreements?
  2. Spell duration visible.

    The spell affects probably only disappear from the client screen after the server tells it to. Sound about right, Radu?
  3. Lucaa

    I wonder if blessings from mother nature or the size of bags of gold or other harvesting affects will be affected when the god does come into game.
  4. Advice for Newb Instance

    Rewind, folk..... [A.] Someone able to either take on 6 critters at a time and manage to restore infrequently enough to not use up all of the SR and HE supplies. This means massive toughness, defense and dodge ability. This is what they call the tank. This does not mean that the person needs to do this. They just need to be able to survive it if they get attacked by 6. BE ABLE TO <> DO IT
  5. Modable / enchanted weapons

    The one benefit to the enchanted blades (some of you call them shiny swords) is the special damage. I imagine this means that regardless of armor of the opponent, if that person does not have the appropriate heat and/or cold protection, the damage will still go through....regardless of how weak and pathetic your character may be compared to the opponent. Well, that and low nexus requirement, but anywho....
  6. Modable / enchanted weapons

    Radu has added books to the game and neglected to add recipes or never made up his mind for the recipes a number of times. The moderators might remind him of such things if people talk to them about it. Some of the moderators actually do make such things, so some of them have a need for the recipes too.
  7. Advice for Newb Instance

    I'm not sure when you would ever find it a good idea to engage more than one creature. At most a tank should be able to handle at least one, maybe two for a brief period. Why is this little tidbit necessary? It's not as if I follow your every post. People quote and attempt to correct you because they feel you are wrong and it should be corrected for the original poster to have the correct answer. If I went around proclaiming that Aliens have invaded and everyone should just go hide/etc, wouldn't you correct me to better inform the world rather than let disinformation spread? You might not find it a good idea to engage more than one creature at a time, but that is a tank's job. They must be a magnet for the instance monsters to the weaker folk don't get clobbered. Your post makes it sound like you have never been to one. If a tank can't handle multiple critters, they won't be allowed to be the tank. You failed to ask around and instead complained about my post. You fail. Nothing personal. I just didn't want replies to my post. Alot of fighter type forum trolls love to assault every forum post I make regarding combat and I got tired about it a long time ago.
  8. need a way to level manufacturing

    The game has a notepad feature. I suggest you check it out. It can be very useful.
  9. Rationality & Gods

    You are only allowed to worship 3 gods at the same time. That is what I figured too. I just didn't know if anything changed recently. I don't know if any of the new gods are in place yet either. I never really bothered to check. Too busy AFKing.
  10. Advice for Newb Instance

    You need to be one of three body builds: [A.] Someone able to either take on 6 critters at a time and manage to restore infrequently enough to not use up all of the SR and HE supplies. This means massive toughness, defense and dodge ability. This is what they call the tank. [b.] Someone that can actually hit the opponent and hopefully frequently. [C.] Someone who could justify their being there while being useless in actual combat. A really efficient mage or summoner. Summons are often complained about because they disturb the "tanking" process and attack other summons. Phantom warriors can be useful on the two dilimacs at the end, but I do not recommend other summons. Phantoms will not be targeted for attack and you can judge how much damage they are doing by the amount of life they lose from the dilimac's mirror skin. They will subtract defense points from the dilimac since dilimac do not have "there is no fork". Perhaps more important than your character's build is your ability to cast restore without failure (magic 49 recommended), your ability to use quickslots via ALT# and CTRL#, your ability to focus and your common sense. I believe all of this is accurate, but people love to complain about my posts, so feel free to ask around.
  11. Rationality & Gods

    Since the rationality bonus is an addition instead of a multiplier, you will find that the God bonus is much more effective for things that give you more xp and so it really helps while grinding low level items. Of course, you can only worship gods that get along with eachother and unless I am mistaken, this still restricts you to worshipping only 3 gods. If anyone knows of any god combinations that would allow you to worship 4+ gods, please post the combos. By the way, I tend to have a rationality bonus of at least 12 on all my characters. Part of the reason is the xp and part of it is that I don't want to spend all eternity reading a book.
  12. need a way to level manufacturing

    You might want to read http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40020. In there, I posted this: Of course, there are a number of other valid points. I suggest you start doing the daily quest at the TG garrison and keep track of what it wants. Tons of lazy people will buy any garrison items you have each and every day and especially on Sun Tzu day. I wish you luck.
  13. Defuse mines

    Most likely, the prices for this would be higher than people would like and most would just bring summoning stones or summoning ingreds with them. If you have high enough of a level to see the bomb, you could step on a different game tile. If you can't see the bomb, you should probably fail at trying to defuse it.
  14. guild wipes

    A guild with 0 members. Yeah. Maybe those 0 member guilds should be wiped. They probably have 0 members because their players were wiped. Radu has un-wiped a few characters, but if the guild drops to 0 members, they would probably leave the guild and start a new one anyways (unless they are the guildmaster).
  15. Privacy option on Achievements

    This should probably wait until after Lenny has his own design instead of a generic leopard design.
  16. Exp Bonuses

    I don't like the idea of adding yet another requirement for competing in skill rankings. This should not be about who can shell out more $ to level. Those that shell out $ to level often cause inflation in the game. We don't need more inflation. We need the market prices to settle to a fair level or a limited quantity vs bulk quantity pricing scheme. As #18 (was once number 5 or so) manu in the game, I would find it annoying if someone playing a month but paying a bunch of $ could pass me up. I agree with the idea that this game should stick to the slow advancement of skills that it has now. As for dailies, I think they may just solve a problem of the old timers not being able to advance anymore. Without them, I would not get a pickpoint for a year unless I went a/d training constantly. I don't think dailies have too much impact on the skill competitions.
  17. life drain question

    I suggest you cast it, walk towards it (by not clicking on it, but instead next to it) and then click on it with the wand icon to select the target. If you click on it when it is out of range, you will lose the spell (not ingreds) and need to successfully cast again, which can be a pain in the butt. Also, note that you can switch cursors and attack it and then switch the cursor back to the wand to select the cursor to finish your spell. This can be very useful if your spell would not do any good at the moment, but you want it to be prepared for some time during the combat. I hope this helps. As for a location, the house on IP with a rat in it, assuming you stand in the middle should probably reach the rat with magic no matter where in there it is. edit: I forgot to mention one other thing. You give your summons life, so you can take it away. If you summon things, you can drain the life from your own summons who are automatically somewhat attracted to your location.
  18. Lvling in manu

    Warning: Excessive helm mixing may cost you your sanity. How much is your sanity worth to you? Sorry. I figured that disclaimer was a must. At over 1M helms (pretty sure I broke that threshold), it sure has taken a toll on me.
  19. Wannabe crafter needs advice

    I figured someone should mention this on here. There is now a new daily quest which gives 100gc and some crafting xp for batches of IP rings or batches or WS rings. Those are only two options. To say the least though, making those rings makes alot more sense now. Making gold rings and gold medallions in PV gold mine is pretty good. Rat bones to eat inside, shrooms outside, fruit not too far outside and flowers near storage. The sulfur, gold and coal are inside the cave. There is/was (not sure if it still has one or not) a RIVA support bot there. Anyone know if there is still a trade bot in PV gold mine?
  20. Lvling in manu

    Since the addition of the TG garrison daily quest, the sales of leather helms, leather gloves and leather boots have gone up significantly. I suggest you keep 100 of each in stock at all times. Those items will sell significantly better on Sun Tzu days. You can even cash in yourself from time to time. After you get good enough of levels for it, steel shields, steel chain, titanium short swords also sell pretty well for the garrison quests. Do NOT make iron chainmail and try to sell it to the folk for the garrison quest. Buy those in WSC instead, if you want to try to sell them to folk. If you have good enough of a manu level and enough carry capacity to do it well enough, making s2e and selling them for 1050-1100gc each works out pretty well. Some people will buy the bars and FE for this, but the bar prices are crazy lately. I use my profit from s2e mixing to buy more coal (from a bag) and big books of manufacturing. These are the alternatives that I know of right now for if you don't want to grind your life away on leather helms. Good luck.
  21. Android client

    If we get an apk package and it turns out that we can't do it on the official Android Market, perhaps we can put it on appbrain.com.
  22. Video card OpenGL version

    This may be a stupid question, but poorman will still work in the future, right? It would be nice to be able to continue to use poorman for when our computers do not comply to the driver requirements or if we have an issue where we can't seem to use the 3D graphics driver. I have noticed though that the poorman mode has been less tolerable lately. I don't know if that could be helped or not, but it would be nice if it could be.
  23. Book orgizantion

    That I know of, the only organization for the knowledge is by the time that the book was introduced in the game (roughly). I agree that it is not organized in any really useful way. #know and #knowledge both work. Since I use that command, I don't see much need to organize the knowledge more, although it could be somewhat useful. I would find it more useful to organize the books in storage. They are not sorted alphabetically or by topic. You have to right click them all and often right click most of the books you have to find the one you want to grab from storage. If they could be sorted by topic, that would be very useful to me.
  24. Infinity trying to Lure in zirak

    Well, they better be careful then. That makes their characters alts of eachother, so if they trade, it can turn into a multiplay bust quite easily. I have seen a number of character sharing people busted in the bans section before.
  25. Sounds like a good idea to me if it is somewhat cost efficient. Not all of us have 5 animal nexus for stones. Stones are for leveling and sale, not for use. Some will use summoning to hunt.
