Thanks alot!

Post by suleidan »

Thanks for all the insight provided thus far.. few questions

1.) Void shard - used on an impaler or sorcerers cincture etc, would you void the return on throw / fire pref or spr 'growth' features as well ?

2.) Already mentioned increased EP Cost of combat due to encumbrance... clarifications... is this from either kgs or litres, or both, and is it tiered or is there a specific trigger point?

(edit:) is this ' % of total carried kgs / litres? or hard coded '10 kgs')

3.) Are there any other penalties to kgs / litres ?

4.) does leathercraft adeptness affect dragonscale crafting in anyway (glowie production of dragon gear or anything else)...


hmm.. thats it for now. Thanks!

Wondering about two (2) pieces of EQ:

1) Sir Grik's Shield of elements. It allegedly augments shield of faith effect. Now, that eq is _old_, and back then shield of faith differed from what it does now. Does that special bit do anything fancy for the current version shield of faith - the cone of energy is now a part of instrument of the gods, is it not?

2) Yellhayari cross. Allegedly boosts 'martial arts'. Does the effect it has do anything for the current monks?

And about two other things:

3) Allegedly strike maneuver for the army stops fumbling once you have enough 'devising battle maneuvers' mastery. How much is enough? Will it stop missing at some mastery milestone, too?

4) What does death or glory tactic do and when?

1. Does unarmed fighting/brawling skills for wilder affect general combat/specials/momentums or does it only affect grappling?

2. What determines initial level of marking? i assume its a combination of blood marking skill and quality of heart, do any other skills boost that besides, obviously, masteries?

3. Lastly, when improving quality of marking from bleeding, does it raise from the amount of blood that flows over it, or the number of times one is wounded on said marking, i.e. each time wounded has max level to improve at a time?

Couple more questions:

Does carried weight affect archery hit chance or damage?
Does carried weight affect archery crit chance or damage?

Does the size or xp value of a hunted mob affect the mastery gained?

What skills or masteries affect the duration of a hunt?

Thanks,
Una

Does it cost less exp to train a skill or spell depending upon your level?

For example, if I'm level 20 and I can study ball spell to 100%. Does it cost the same amount to study the ball spell to 50/70/100% at level 20 as it does at say level 50?

Does your cooking skill affect how much severed limbs heal?
Do severed limbs work better on wilders or the same on anyone who eats?

Totems - Does the exp value of the animal have any bearing on the totem?
Does the size of the creature make much difference? (skiny hungry wolf compared to large wolf) or is it just creature type that determines the totem and then skill to change values?

Fishbusting times.

How 'random' is fishing when it comes to finding larger fish? Are there differences between different locations, even if you fish the same kind of water terrain (lake, or deep river)

Old Icemap had places called "The fisher's paradise" and also "The river of the mighty salmon", are those names just for the sake of immersion/flavour?

Is there some manner of underlying fish data that keeps track of where schools of fish are swimming etc and do overfished spots yield less results in later boots of the game, too?

What are the benefits of having a bait box?

Does fish releasing just delete the fish and give some divine favours, or does it do something else, too?

Will you be participating in the 24h fishing marathon?

Can your mental integrity fall so low that you are unable to play?
Does lower integrity help infecti in some way? It is rumored to increase critical ratio, how much and when do you see this change?

Moar questions:

How is the bonus spell damage you gain from INT stat counted?
Is it considerable higher when you hit a certain threshold let's say 150 compared to 145 for example?

What If you had INT of 167 would it be beneficial to try to boost it to 170 for example to get bonus damage? or is there such bonus damage? Does INT stat help the damage at all? (Can't really say for infecti since the same damage can bee sen with 100 int compared to 150)

What does Grandmaster of Archery or Throwing do? None of them seem too apparent.

Does grandmaster of shields only give free hits?

Is there a use for combat styles that you aren't currently using?

Does Offensive Battle Strategy/Defensive Battle Strategy have any effect on monks at all?

What does secrets of gaesati rituals even do?
