Affliction

So I started an alt named Daryl to be a pure ranger. Its kind of an experiment for me, though I know some have done this already. I wanted to keep a log of my attempt that I can update from time to time to see how I progress in case others want to try this themselves. Getting Started: To lay the foundation for my archer I subsidized him a bit at the beginning. I created Daryl and gave him enough GC to purchase all 3 of the ranging perks plus to pay for some negative perks. My perks from day 1: Power Hungry Godless Gelatine Bones Antisocial Ethereal Ranger Wilhelm Hood Sharp Shooter I also gave Daryl a MM Cape and an Elven Bow. With these basics settled I was ready to begin my journey as a pure ranger... well almost. Attributes: I put 8 PP into Coord to be able to carry arrows. The rest of my PP I earned I dumped into reasoning. Once I max out Reasoning I plan to give myself a little more Coord to up my carry capacity and then begin maxing out Will. But that's for a future Affliction to worry about. As of now I am OA 34 Coord: 8 Reasoning: 46 Quests: Before I could start shooting (because I didn't provide Daryl with any arrows) I needed to do the Bow Legged quest for Kyra on IP. Basically run around WS talking to people and return to her to get 1 Short Bow and 100 Training Arrows. This is the foundation for starting your Ranging journey. This is the only quest you need to worry about at the beginning. There are 3 Ranging quests that give Ranging EXP, but you 100% want to wait on a Robin Tell Day to turn them in for double ranging EXP. But the quets starting NPC are Vaesura (WS) Osold (PA) Wimmip (TG Magic School) Doing these 3 quests alone and turning them in on Robin Tell Day will get you to Ranging lvl 24. Now, I did read a fantastic guide by An Elf you can read for yourself here. There's TONS of helpful information in that guide and I'm not going to rehash it here. I'm loosely using it as a guide for my journey with 1 major exception. I will NOT use the ranging arena to level up. I don't care how badly I want to level up ranging I refuse to stand in an arena and shoot a target. I want to kill things. I want to hunt. I want to make a profit while doing it. So I'll be recording how that goes here. So now I have a couple of bows, I have 100 training arrows. I also have a debt of 50k GC that I intend to pay back to my main account. My goals at this point are simple. 1. Make enough money with these 100 training arrows to buy more arrows. 2. Pay back 50k to my main. 3. Buy a Night Visor. So I begin Shooting Stuff: Daytime I shoot beavers on IP, at night I shoot Rats in the IP rat cave. Rats give better EXP than beavers, but Beavers have a more profitable rare drop in the Beaver Token. I Got lucky in my first 100 training arrows and got a beaver token and a rat token. This set me up to buy all the training arrows I'd need for the forseeable future. At this point I've killed 1021 Beavers and 993 Rats. I've gotten 12 Beaver tokens as drops and 3 Rat tokens. Because of this I've been able to reach Goal 1 and 2 from above, and begin saving for goal 3, buying a Night Visor. I was being pretty focused on just grinding leveling and making money by selling my furs/bones/tokens, but I decided I needed to try to get my OA level up faster so that I could increase my attributes. So I began doing Novacs quest and Haidir Dailies as a Ranger. To this point (5/22/24) I am Ranging lvl 26. I have completed Novac's quest up to the Fluffy Bunny (I plan to kill it today). My levels and stats at this point in the journey: Plans for the future: I really need to get the sigels to heal myself. That's a big issue. Also being able to teleport to portals room will be a big help just to speed up travel. I also need teleport to range to set myself up for pinning targets later in my training. But due to low health I'll never need restore or most other magic.

If anyone has a bot they are not wanting to renew I'd be interested in taking over payments for it. DM me on here or in game if you are interested.

Hey! The forums are great and serve a great purpose. But most gaming communities now a days use discord. I took the liberty of creating an Unofficial Eternal Lands Discord server. It has a variety of channels to chat in based on topics or skills and has voice chats available for people to hang out in together while playing. You can join with this link : Eternal Lands Discord I hope this will be helpful. It will be fun to have a better place to chat and hang out with you all

Hey! I'm just getting back into the game too. I'm trying to get some other people in my gaming clan to come try it out too. I'd love to get a solid group playing again.

Hey! Its been about 12 years or so since I really played EL. I've reached out to Radu about getting my password reset so I can get into my old character, but in the meantime I'm starting a new character just to experience the game from the beginning again. So far I'm really enjoying it, but I have a question since I've been gone for so long. What are some of the biggest changes in the last decade I should be aware of, or what is new for the noob experience that I should be sure to do or avoid? So far I've just been following the tutorial NPC quests and reaquainting myself with the settings and first few maps. Its crazy what I remember and what I've forgotten. Thanks for any advice #EDIT If you see a little dwarf named Bearded in game. That's my little baby toon I just started.

LOVE IT! Works Great! Logged into all my chars and logged in and out a few times to make sure it worked. Love it!

So I guess the Curse of Mortos is now the Blessing of Mortos?

To be fair. my NPC idea was not radu stocking an npc, but rather an npc that was stocked by players who buy from the shop.

What if rosto's were not sellable by bots? What if you could buy rosto's online, but you could only sell them to an NPC for a set price? Then if you wanted a Rosto you had to either buy it from the shop, buy it from someone person to person, or buy it from the NPC. Then Radu would have total control over the $/GC ratio and the price of rostos? #edit Honestly you could use the npc for all shop items.

If there were a mini rosto i'd rather it save what i'm wearing and not protect my inventory, than for it to be limited to 5 human nexus.

I searched and found this topic, but that topic was about walking and moving using WASD. Also, there may be a way to do this that I'm just not aware of. I'd love to know how if there is, but in case there isn't here is the suggestion. Let the "Shift" key act as a chat lock. You have to hit shift to type "#" commands and "@" channels anyways. Ideally, I'd like the "shift" key set as a chat lock and an option I could toggle in the settings to enable WASD camera control. But i'd settle for just having "Shift" be a chat lock. At least then I could remap my WASD keys in the ini file and not worry about them typing as chat. Why is this worth anyone's time to code? Well I think its very awkward and uncomfortable when I play on my laptop with a wireless mouse without an external keyboard. With a desktop its fine. Mouse is to the one side, keyboard positioned just right and the screen can stay centered. Same is true for laptops if you have an external keyboard and wireless mouse. But if you are in a, what I consider, realistic gaming position like sitting in a recliner or couch and just have your laptop and mouse to play with then things get difficult. Like my computer I have a large portion to the right of my trackpad that I use as my mouse spot, but it is uncomfortable to have to also reach with my left hand and do the arrow buttons to move the camera. I know this seems petty or lazy, but I just don't think I'm the only one who has this issue, and to my uninformed coding ignorant mind it seems like an easy addition to the game. #EDIT Just was informed about moving the camera with the mouse wheel. My mouse didn't work that way (extra buttons) so I didn't think that was an option, but one of the extra buttons on my mouse lets me adjust the camera. So if someone can delete this I'd be thankful.

A lot of MMO's have mail systems. Some even have Cash On Delivery options. Someone posts that they are selling something and you pm them and say you want it. Instead of meeting up they can just mail it to you C.O.D. and you get it when you visit storage next or whenever you swing by the mailbox. Another use I can think of is sending stuff between alts. Especially on the Android client since you can't have 2 windows open.

That sounds awesome!

It happened last on Amber, and I am under lvled for that, but the inability to harvest lasted for over a minute before I restarted. Yes, I'm able to see things and get the details about them and yes I can get the harvest icon to show up. Things it has happened to me on: Diamonds, rose quartz, coal, amber, iron, roses. At least that's all I can remember off the top of my head. The only thing I'm under lvled on is the Amber.
