Sorry, wrote summary from memory. The original suggestion for that was 150 gc in post #89 by Elf_Ninja in Wizzy's original thread.

Wouldn't pk be more fun for a mage if both harm and MI were both nerfed a bit? Imo if magic 100 with 48 rationality does ~30 a hit with all protection on to a typical built pk char (only mag protection is for shield), this is a reasonable benefit. Players would be required to not use armour with as much rad or heat protection to not be killed in 10 rounds of harm. For % chance of success maybe something like (offensive mag+rationality)/(defensive mag+rationality+5*mag protection) if magic resist spell is on. For balancing, maybe give some minus mag protection to rd/bd/icy sets and maybe increase mag prot buff on bluD (Bronze still a cheaper option). Edit: numbers completely made up as example, prob not actually reasonable.

If arrow effects are removed from melee, how about adding some spells that give special types of damage. Only one active at a time, damage scales with magic level/rationality. Relatively expensive to cast, can switch between them at any time by casting over the old one. I.e. opponent is wearing standard pk armour with icy torso. You cast radiation damage spell, they switch to bd armour. You cast fire damage spell, etc. It would be possible to keep having an advantage over your opponent by switching spells, but it would drain your mana. Might add some more strategy.

Off and on for the last few months I have been enjoying learning the basics of pk, but I am by no means an expert. Anyway, I would pk more if: Kf - can only attack people in your instance range or above. Including ranging, magic, summons and engineering. Dpa - limit hp and mana to attribute caps of 20 (iirc, that's what dex/rea...etc are capped at), you cannot initiate combat if your filled emu is over 400 (again, capped at 20/20), and Orange spammies don't work. Possibly make diss rings not work, or if they do work give pki (0.5*kill?) for using. All other pk maps no limitations. I believe these suggestions would focus pk on the competition between equals rather than ubber strong people beating on us nubs. Anyway, just mho, flame away. Rabbitman

Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part ^^, I was thinking boss like nasps in 100-120 not boss like mb in 120-200. Maybe put 2 dilimacs or labs and adjust invance drops down (~30k drops average tops imo)?

I voted for chitros. They crit hard and are difficult to solo if you are in 80-100. I'd say add more than 5 though, maybe 30 or so similar to instance. In my experience they are harder to solo at this level than mcw, but about the same if you group up on them. Just my opinion.

I dont know if it is posted anywhere, but I've heard that the only limitation on the frequency of invances is once per day. Tweaking this a bit, a minimum of 30 hours could be set between invances. That way, if is run at a time convenient for EST today, EU gets the first chance at it tomorrow. If none of the other time zones request it before the EST time comes around, they could go again. Edit: each a/d range of invance limited to 1 per 30 hours.

Hey all I am buying: Book of Titanium/Steel Long Sword of Magic Book of Steel Two Edged Sword of Ice Paying 15k ea pm/mercator me in-game or here. Rabbitman

The premise of the no class system in this game is so that any character can be built however you want. However, you still have to make choices in how you are going to build it. If you take 20+ pp in nexus you will not be as good a fighter as a pure fighter build. If you take a pure fighter build, you can't make as much fun stuff. It's part of the game as it currently is. Even so, you can negate this whole concept by buying pp if you want. About acp, it is just a new part of the game, if you are unsatisfied, re-evaluate your build and decide what you want to do. Just mho.

This is a really good idea. Many items in-game can be made/found but I believe are mostly brought in via the shop (binding stones, enriched magic essences, and rostogol stones). With the addition of haidir passes which sell for a huge amount compared to the cost, the price of the more traditional gc:$$ items from the shop have been skyrocketing. If another currency was sold from the shop that could be used to buy whatever individual "shop" items you wanted from an npc, the prices of these objects would become more linked than they are currently. My belief is many would buy the new coins and sell them on the market. Any inflation would happen to all shop items at one time, hopefully at a slower rate than we have been seeing. What are your opinions on this idea radu?

The purpose of this guide is to give the basics of how to start an a/d gap tank. The first thing I want to emphasize is that this type of build requires inordinate amounts of time and gc to get started. It will likely take 2-3 months to be able to start joining the noob instance. If this sounds like something you are interested in, read on. There are two ways to start this build. The first is to harvest for gc, the other is to buy some shop items to sell to get you started. For an ideal a/d gap, getting your first 20 oas from strictly a/d is necessary, but you can still have less than 30 ATT when you enter 60-80 if you so not start this way. The most important thing to remember is to not take any reasoning or coordination. Method 1 If you start with gc, buy a CoL, padded leather armours, augmented leather pants, unicorn medallions, fire arrows, and wooden battle hammers. Next, neg up like a pr0: Take scotty, power hungry, antisocial, hellspawn, and I can't ,dance. Then take Evanesence, and no more tears perks. Take 5 human nexus. If my math is right, you should have 19 pp available. Take instinct to 20 and vitality to 6. You will remove icd and hspawn soon. Buy an mm cape and stop by naralik and join mortos. Stay at the bottom rank for -8% exp. Ideally, keep your physique and coordination at 4 until this initial training is done. If you really want more emu, put some pp in physique. With this ensemble, go flee train deer. You will die a lot. Continue in this manner until you no longer go straight to ip when you die. Stop by the tutorial npc and heal each time you are in ip. If you want to not die as much, buy dis rings and heal from tutorial npc when you are low. Place your pp from oas into vitality until you have 20 as well. Once you are able, start flee training on wolves. Once you start going to hell, stop training in this manner (I think oa 20). After this, start training magic and harvest until you can remove icd, hspawn, and get there is no fork. At this point, begin training in the same way as method 2. Method 2 This is the method to follow if you do not plan to buy gc. Choose your favorite method of earning gc. Earn a lot. I recommend toadies in votd since no inorganic nexus is needed. Keep your physique at 20 or less, and get no coordination. Start training magic at this point. With your oas, get no more tears, evanesence, and there is no fork. After getting the perks, build up 20 instinct and vitality. Earn enough gc to get a CoL or holam and 3k he and corresponding srs. Buy some fire arrows, padded leather armours, augmented leather pants, unicorn medallions, and wooden battle hammers. Start flee training with beavers or deer, dependant on what you want to try and what your instinct is. For both builds, switch to a steel shield if you get too annoyed with the fire arrows. In the beginning you are primarily trying to stop normal hits, so the accuracy subtract is perfect. Once you get to female orcs, switch to a steel shield and iron plate mail. Also, switch to Aluwen and get top rank. From this point on you are more concerned with stopping crit to hit rolls than accuracy. Take balanced amounts of instinct and vitality until you have 32/32. Put the next 16 pp into instinct. Once you are training on female orcs, you have hit the expensive part of training a tank. Once you have restore and can do female orcs decently well, start training male and female orcs. At this point you will not want to go back to storage every time you have to restock, so prepare a hyperbag before you go to train. Either make it yourself using an mm cape and keys, or make some friends and have them help you . Continue to work the flee key until orcs ignore you. As for astro, if you are willing to adjust your training times by it, it can greatly help your a/d gap. Train when you crit to hit and accuracy astro is deep in the negative. If you aren't willing to adjust your training schedule, high crit to hit astro can really hurt your a/d xp ratio, so I would advise going skeptic. I used a method more like #2 when I started training. I didn't use fire arrows when I trained from the start, and I still have 39/101 a/d. They add a lot of hassle, but it is possible to get 0 att xp on a consistent basis if you train with them. Tank_Rabbit

Nowhere have I mentioned #afk or multi training. To my understanding an a/d gap for instances/invances has not been discouraged as it promotes team play. I have been asked by numerous people how to start this type of build so I figured I would share what I have learned. If any rules are changed to discourage this type of build, I will follow them.

Pr0 widget, I haven't had any issues yet.

I have been building a tank for awhile, and it is not nearly as easy as some think. In game name is Tank_Rabbit. I have 38/100 a/d and I trained in thelinor on fluffs/feros prior to the most recent update. No one other than myself and orick trained in that area. Usually the only people I saw were coming specifically to serp or pk me. When I did get serped or pked, I took it in stride and tried again later. Now that I cannot train in Thelinor, I have to train in areas frequented by others which means less spawn time for me since I typically let others take them if they ask. To be honest, I have basically stopped training. My emu is 240, so less than 200 after armour is taken out. I cannot stay on a spawn long if I do not have friends helping me bring ings to heal with. Part of this build is keeping your damage low so you hit less with your crits. Because of this, very few builds like mine exist. When I first started training in thelinor, I used upwards of 1.5-2k he PER hour. The experience was nice and I did not piss people off while I was training, so I found it acceptable. That is almost a restore every 8 seconds. I had to keep loads of emps with me to keep my mana up. I could make it slightly better wearing an SoP, but Orick told me it would break in less than an hour training in this way, so I did my best to not use it. By the update I did not use nearly this many, appr. 500-1k iirc. Even at this restore rate, there is no way you could #afk train on these mobs. Additionally, if you truly are #afk, you would get to the 15 round dodge limit very quickly, and would not get any exp until you came back to the computer and fled. Just my opinion as someone who actually played this way. Tank_Rabbit

Currently visiting the swamp at least once a week. I am willing to go most any day 7 pm to 10 pm EST. 38/100 a/d and 26/26 reaction/toughness Will tank for your team. If team with me included is 4 or more, I ask that the group sponsor scales or token to get me in cuz I r poor. Tank_Rabbit in game.

I'll take stars med book, I'll ask price in game

I know I will not mix any of these swords as long as npc price is lower than the market price of an efe. Perhaps increase npc price to 10kgc ea and add daritha quest. Less xp than chains if 1 sword required, more xp than chains if 2. On a somewhat related note, any chance of mixable fire/ice/magic/thermal tit long recipes implemented? Rabbitman

Hey all, I am mixing for ings / trading for ings all iron/steel/titanium plate items. All items other than food will be required, not just the expensive items. Rules for mixing for ings: All extra profits (specials) and losses (saving stones) will be split 50/50 between myself and you. Specials will either be sold and profits split or kept by you and you pay me 50% of its value. Item(s) will be delivered after all gc amounts are correct. I will check astro before mixes to give best chances at a special (at least 50% positive). Rules for trading for ings: Completed item will be traded in the same window as ings. Currently 70 manu, and will use +8 from god for all mixes. Reply here, forum pm, or pm me in-game. Rabbitman

Ah I stand corrected on the crit-to-hits. I did not consider those in my thoughts, was just trying to provide an alternative since i hate resetting, even at low levels .

Looks like you haven't worked on Tanker in a while, but if you do I don't think you really need to #reset. Remove the points you have in coordination and start building instinct. Buy some defense and instinct pots, equip a pick and try to flee train some deer, moving on to wolves/gobs when appropriate. Put all your pp into instinct until you have ~16 reaction. The pick will keep you from hitting the mobs too much, so the excessive damage you'll be dealing shouldn't be too much of an issue. Your physique will keep mobs high for your a/d level from hurting you much. Your xp/min will be pretty bad as long as you have to keep potting up your defense to counter-act the pick, but will greatly improve once you get up to where u can actually train on wolves/goblins easily. May or may not be worth the extra effort to not throw away the oa's.

I was reading this thread a while back, trying to decide if I thought the CoS perk was worth the quest. I decided it would be most worth it if you only worked on it during recycle days or school days..either extra experience or a chance to not lose ings, your choice. I opted for recycle days. All this to say, I feel your pain USL. Apparently I burned titanium greaves of mirroring during this last recycle day.."lucky" crafter achievement popped up and I had to burn more ings.

Hello, I would like to order 50k iron ore (197.5 kgc). Thanks, Rabbitman

Hello all. I just reinstalled EL after about six months off and wanted to play again. Sadly it will not connect. It gets stuck at the loading screen with the last line of text saying "Connecting to Server..." I have let it sit for more than fifteen minutes on multiple occasions but it never connects nor does it say that the connection fails. Attempting to troubleshoot the problem myself, I used telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000 and ping game.eternal-lands.com in command prompt. Telnet results in a blank background until it eventually brings up the native directory (no welcome message). The ping command times out 4/4 attempts. Both results are the same when I temporarily turn off my firewall. Any ideas?

I spoke with the IT department at the university I attend and they have worked out the issues. Thank you for your help.

I just tried this, and it still times out 4/4 attempts.
