Digger Report post Posted November 1, 2009 I really HAVE searched for this topic in many forums since it seemed such an obvious candidate for discussion .. but never found it so ..... What re the advantages and disadvantages of resetting a character? If you have done it, what were the consequences? Thanks for any information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asgnny Report post Posted November 1, 2009 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50746 The main use of the reset command is to essentially undo any grave mistakes you've made (e.g. dropping 20 pickpoints in the same nexus, or taking a negative perk which ruins your game play). As mentioned in the linked thread, your overall level and experience go to zero, so you would need to re-earn all of your overall levels once again. If you reset early on, the effects may not be too grave. If a high-leveled character resets, skills will always be relatively higher than overall, which can e.g. render a fighter character relatively weak, due to having fewer overall levels, and thus pickpoints. You may want to get some additional input from players in-game, perhaps on channel 4 (general EL chat). #jc 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zalic Report post Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) well for me as a player who reseted at a relatively low OA (52) the biggest downside was losing the EMU... it was quit irritating for some time, second downside was losing the health points, and third was the mana.... losing the nexuses didn't bother that much but overall, reset isn't such a bad thing... the higher the lvl's the quicker you get your OA's... i had some ingreds for bars in sto so first OA's after reset came pretty quickly with alc EDIT: note that i didn't have any positive perks before the reset, otherwise that would have been a downside too Edited November 2, 2009 by zalic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Report post Posted November 2, 2009 If you have to reset - prepare for it - as Zalic says - hoard a few K of alchemy stuff to get back a few oa lvls and it is not that bad at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
