I don't really think it would take me too long to get back to where I am now in game. Taking some lessons from some alts that I have had and some lessons on economy stupidity (like the rosto) would make it a bit easier. A newb that I found 3 years ago (Jeff) has passed me in many skills except for manufacturing with some tips from me when he started out. The only thing that would stop me is my excessive viewing of anime which makes me quite AFK in game anymore.

Have NPC's at the harvestables that sell them for half of NPC buy price at the shops in towns. Maybe less. Harvesters will be pissed or just haul the stuff to storage and sell for a markup. The market will turn upside down. People will power level on bought items, but the prices will stabelize for harvested items and items that use them without rare ingreds included

You say this because of the cost of the essences, right? Well, I think magic is always going to cost more than having a great toughness+accuracy+dexterity build. When you don't have such a build, magic becomes a bit more valuable. There are some that don't have that build and so magic is more efficient for them.

I was looking at the happypenguin.org site today and noticed that the game's information is old. I thought I posted about this around 12 hours ago, but maybe I forgot to click post. This site is also known as The Linux Game Tome. It lists many games. I don't know....it may even be the site that helped me find the game. Would anyone care to update it? Oh. And if I did actually post earlier and my post was deleted, could a mod send me a forum pm?

By the way, I found this post because one of my guildmates was offered 10k to become a rank 19 in donunator's guild and run his shop there. I heard the story and thought "WTF????" and looked on forums. Thank you, roman_gruber for proving my point for me.

If someone asks to borrow stuff, demand collateral of equal or greater value. Even if the person is highly trusted, they may accidentally break/lose the stuff and not be able to replace it in a reasonable amount of time. If someone wants to borrow an MM cape, suggest invisibility potions and antidotes instead. much cheaper.

Just a quick note: Please consider player vs monster while considering player vs player. Adjustments for pk aspects of magic may affect monster fighting as well.

Arrows + swords....there is a defense penalty last I checked. Too many allies and too powerful of guilds....that is a guild by guild decision and it ultimately up to the guildmaster. Some guilds have alot of allies to keep their guild safer from pkers. I wish the pk guilds out there luck with their pk rules, alliances and repercussions for pking someone that has allies who have rules like "pk anyone who attacks an ally"...which will probably lead to political nightmares between them and guilds that they want to be friendly with. Removing branch of destruction abilities...would remove the fear that a pker gets when someone that does not want to get messed with has when holding what may be a BroD. Mage robe pants make you immune to BroD, right? One of my guildies said he has seem alot of people in mage robe pants lately. Consider the value of mage robe pants if you adjust/remove BroD. (Others in this thread mentioned other items to consider while adjusting BroD) Ok. Granted I am not a pker and I am posting on this thread, but you always have to consider both sides of the coin. @Dilly: Change it to 0-255 range for durability and it will make more sense from a programming point of view. That is another 1 byte per armor/weapon though. It would require a modification to the way that items of all types are stored in the database and in memory on the server. Client side should not be affected unless the client needs to display it by some way else than looking at it with the eyeball cursor. Alternatives like having 3-4 states instead of two for armor would use up more item ID numbers. Not sure which Radu would prefer.

My 60-80 character and my 100-120 character have managed to go to invances this week.

We could also auto-expand "@" to "@@3" or whatever when the 2nd character is not a @.

Would it help simplify things and make things more fair if there was a 15 hour cooldown period before you could go to another invance? This would make it harder for anyone regardless of location or employment status from going to more than 1 a day yet it would allow them some choice over when in the day they can do it (more so than a daily quest).

C and C++ (EL uses normal C, if I recall correctly) are monsters when it comes to memory management. If you do not allocate and deallocate your memory very carefully, it will be big problems. You can't try to access memory past the end of an allocated memory block without it being disastrous. Since the queue is a well planned out class, it probably has safeguards against trying to access data past the end and stuff like that. I have not looked at the code for some time and you may actually already know what I just said, but I figured it had to be said anyways. I don't know if EL actually clears the items out of the queue during loadup or if it waits until the client is closed.

Thanks, bluap. So, anyone have info on the other varieties of Windows?

Anyone know if this is happening on Linux or any other varieties of Windows? Lately, my EL client could be in console mode and my computer still ends up running the fan all the time. It is a laptop, so I know that there are some factors else than EL that could cause this, but still I have to wonder.

reserved for you Thanks much. I will try to get in contact with you with my characters.

2326 Red Rose 2195 Red Snapdragons From Nathan: Offer of 0.5gc per red rose and 1/3gc per snapdragon. (0.5*2326=1163) + (1.0/3*2195=731.666) = 1895 10 Leather Helm 6 Leather Gloves 1 iron greave From TickleMonster: Offer of 6k gc for 1 iron greave. Offer of 25gc per leather helm. Offer of 30gc per leather glove. 6000 + (25*10=250) + (30*6=180) = 6430

I could also mix the S2E, if you want. Top 20 manu. Higher than Quesar in manu. I risk mix for food. Of course, you will find many people that will do good enough of a job. By the way, just what is your emu capacity?

I make both the bars and the s2e on site. I have a bot in the mine which makes things much more efficient for me. I doubt many people make much more than 50 bars per run to the mine. That would only be 3 S2E worth. There are some locations that have more than just iron ore. Melinis is an example (safe inside, but dangerous outside). Maybe Idaloran mines (dangerous). IotF has a number of ingredients around, if you know where to look, but that will require a bit of hauling and having possibly unattended bags. Since you say you plan on AFKing a bit, I would not recommend IotF for you. Here is a trick you might be able to pull off. Harvest iron ore and sulfur and bones in EVTR. There are roses and snaps on the map too (or you could get those in VotD, but really the snaps seem closer in EVTR) so you can mix at sto (during the daytime unless you wanna be eaten by Lenny). Trade some of your sulfur and bones to someone for coal since they have the same basic value. You can mix in the tavern at night and can even buy cooked meat there if you find it worth it.

Semi afk iron harvesters might as well go to EVTR if you know the special spot. NC sto and WS garg cave for coal. Sound warnings for "you stopped harvesting" is recommended. Bars should probably start getting good starting at alch 40-50. A skilled mixer can watch a movie and mix at the same time. Harvest event sounds help some. S2E have been so easy for me for such a long time that I can only say at least 10 above recommended. Mixing on site may be slower for some and take too much concentration for some, but it will use less food too.

I believe I have found the problem with the counters. I had just finished up the bear portion of the Haidir's Pest quest when I killed an armed skeleton and it said I killed all the bears. It was a skeleton and not a bear. Please check server code. Some things are being treated as other things in the quest counters. If you see a URL instead of an image, copy it to the address bar and it should work fine.

Ok, folk. Why the heck would you read a book on making armor from a person that does not have the ability to make it and may have never made one? I say, if the person does not have at least 4 nexus for the skill they want to write a book for, they don't have the knack for the skill and can't teach you anything. That is what I would say "nexus" is. It is an innate talent for the skill. It takes alot of effort and smarts to write a book or to teach someone. I imagine a less skilled person may be able to write a book, but it would take them a long time to fix all their mistakes and make it actually make sense. I am sure this is why it takes alot of action points to write a book. Also, trust me....leveling to just manu 50 on helms will drive a person nuts, so a book from them would mention something about the anvil laughing at them and the hammer floating around the room and the helms trying to suffocate them. Why read some nutjob's book when you want to learn?

Do you think it might be a rationality vs rationality thing like it is for some other spells?

I like the size increase idea. I don't like the removal of the alpha tag, but if his name was red tagged, I think it might be ok. Why a red name? Because it is a fear factor. We could alternatively replace "alpha" with "hunter".

Ask for a minimum of 80 AP gained (newbie 4 rationality) for being able to mix... Or double the time needed for gain AP in the negative zone... Double the time needed to gain AP while it is negative? That sounds fair to me. Like with food, we should not be allowed to do a task that uses action points when we have less than 1.

Puntif, I read your formula on your page just today. It seems the game's formula has changed. It seems to now simply start with 7 damage and then go down. When I reviewed what you posted on your comcast hosted page, it looked like for every 30 seconds remaining, it was 1 point of damage and that it lasted for 7 full minutes. At least according to your damage table. Anyone have any idea on if magic level and rationality affect the poison spell? Anyone do more recent research on this? Me an Malixz just did a simple test yesterday. If I hurt him any more than me, it was only by 10. I received what I think was 75 damage.
