Ruln Report post Posted April 30, 2005 People do not get them like crazy when harvesting. They did the first day or so that Rostogol stones existed. Since then I've gotten three, and I spend several hours a day doing nothing but harvesting. And for several weeks I didn't get a single one. They've also been made far more rare as monster drops. My advice to people with Rostogol stones? Hold onto to them. They are only going to increase in value. In fact they already have from what I've been told.

WiseDwarf Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Well I have heard of people getting a lot off harvesting pretty recently. Don't remember names, but I do remembering it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bathory Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Good idea WiseDwarf. And it doesn't detract from the usefulness of Ros Stones, because the Ros Stones will still have a chance of not breaking, thus being useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rasberrybeard Report post Posted April 30, 2005 this idea is bull, it ruins the whole point of ros stones, I would NEVER endorse this idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted April 30, 2005 You are kidding me. People get stones like crazy when they harvest. Ask,Chance i think it is, how many he has. There are plenty of stones out there, trust me Errr what is your idea of "get stones like crazy"? I am a harvester, I have no idea where you are getting your info from. I can't even remember when the last time I got a stone was. People do not get them like crazy when harvesting. They did the first day or so that Rostogol stones existed. Since then I've gotten three, and I spend several hours a day doing nothing but harvesting. And for several weeks I didn't get a single one. This is my experience with it too. These stones are incredibly rare, now they are even more rare as a monster drop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WiseDwarf Report post Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) this idea is bull, it ruins the whole point of ros stones, I would NEVER endorse this idea. As I said before, the whole idea of the stone is to save harvesters from losing things when they die harvesting. It is not intended for PKers to go have a field day and kill people without worrying about losing their items. i like it, mainly because power rings became kinda absolete when everybody had rosto stone Agreed. I have 2 Ring of Powers that I cannot sell and if I were to sell them, I would not get much out of them due to the amount of rogostol stones used by pkers. This solution I came up with would allow Ring of Power sales to rise and give crafters something to look foward too making.

Mr.Mind Report post Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) im honor pker.. 157708[/snapback] Rofl. Damage rings are meant to help kill things. So are rings of power. Helps people to defend themselves agains people like... shivar. Edited April 30, 2005 by Mr.Mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruln Report post Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) Anyone who dies while harvesting either is dumb or doesn't care. Seriously, you know what the max damage is, you know what your current MP is. So you don't harvest when you are below the max possible damage you can take. I've died once harvesting in the past couple of months and it happened because I pushed my luck and tried to harvest while below 37MP. I paid the price, I won't do that again. Which is why I really doubt they are for harvest types specifically. Edited April 30, 2005 by Ruln Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WiseDwarf Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Hey I was told by a mod that the stones were created for that (harvesting). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shivar, how does it suck? If you used a RoP on ur victim and break their stone you will end up getting more stuff. Explain to me how you wouldn't like that? I know you are a big pker and don't understand why you think so badly of the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarr Report post Posted April 30, 2005 becuz i dont use rostogol myself.. and people wil use RoP's on me.. Wow.. fun! lvl 100 a/d guy got owned by a noob with 20 a/d and 10 RoP's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruln Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Yow, a mod said that? Hrm. don't know what to say. Harvest really is the one place you take damage where you can 100% control wether you die or not. You don't need a ring of disengage or anything fancy. Just don't harvest when you have to few MP. Rostogol stones were 6k at the cheapest from what I recall. I just don't see that being cost effective when all you have to do is heal yourself with a potion or magic to avoid croaking while harvesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanyel Report post Posted May 1, 2005 I'm not sure about that. Rostogol stone are now very, very rare. They are also very expensive. If there would be chance of breaking it (up to 40%?? crazy), their prize would fall down. To balance it there should chance of breakin ring of power (not less than breaking the rostogol stone) and the owner of the ring should take damage (question how much). I'm not sure if it would keep price of the rings even as it is now - it would probably fall down really fast (using rings would bo too risky:P). I agree also with Shivar. If you find way to balance it, I would be for, other case I can't honestly agree with that idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow.. fun! lvl 100 a/d guy got owned by a noob with 20 a/d and 10 RoP's RoP's would be more expensive so I doubt level 20 guys would be able to buy that many of them. If they could afford them it would also be hard to find them since they are so rarely made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shasso Report post Posted May 2, 2005 and since they are expensive it doesnt really pay off to use more than one per victim in full plate, as a final hit. But if someone wants to have some fun and buy 5 power rings just to kill some1 strong, y not =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rasberrybeard Report post Posted May 2, 2005 Ok I misunderstood, if this only worked on pk maps I would be ok with that.....somewhat, however I think it should just stay the way it is, the system is functional as it is now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WiseDwarf Report post Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) somewhat, however I think it should just stay the way it is, the system is functional as it is now. If you were a crafter and making RoP's you would not think that it is fine now. RoP's are way too cheap and pretty much not bought by other players due to the fact that the Rostogol Stone is used so often by players during battle. if this only worked on pk maps I would be ok with that.....somewhat, however I think it should just stay the way it is, the system is functional as it is now. How could it work outside of a pk place? You do not just walk up to someone and use a Ring on them, it has to be in a pk place while ur fighting Edited May 2, 2005 by WiseDwarf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
