Okay. I understand

TC1 test with a supreme paragon deathblade pet. (MASSIVE area damage)

20 leviathans, 2 leviartys (cold heart, sea serpent statue) 1 AoA
20 leviathans, 3 leviartys (2x Ship model, net)
20 leviathans, 2 leviartys (2x hearty rum, drank one, now I'm drunk.)
20 leviathans, 1 leviarty (seahorse statue, ice blue.)
20 leviathans, 1 leviarty (cry of the kraken, only works on water) 1 AoA

100 leviathans, 7 leviartys (2x seahorse, 2x sea serpent, greybeards coffin, Sparrow's compass, cutlass)

100 leviathans, 6 leviartys (DPH, Trident, sea serpent, compass, chest, pot of stew)

basically, 7.3 artys per 100 serpents, or 0.073% each.
I'm assuming you also had fishing on that character. It's not enough to just "Summon" a leviathan with [add, that will not work. If memory serves me right, there are formulas that only take effect through fabled nets. For a more accurate representation, go to skara brae or another large body of water with a GM fisherman and toss fabled nets to summon the leviathans. That should give you a more accurate representation of values.

This is what I thought....something must've been missing.

Would it be possible to change the Reaper Axe to an executioner axe type? The specials on the axe aren't useful at all when combating faeries.

Please?

Can't change a type without globally deleting them. (there's more to it then just item id - its a different class inheritance)

As red said, that would require globally deleting them. There is always the option of creating a copy of said item with a different class name but then there would be 2 different versions floating around (One discontinued and slowly phased out). There would need to be some kind of benefit to this however, and would require modifications in other code systems for their drops.

What happened to TC1?

When I tried to use my Grims in Luna, it wouldn't allow me, but used my bones anyways.

I drank 3-4 uses of cider, at least 24 hours ago, and I'm still drunk.... The timer doesn't work when logged? And how come it isn't solved by dying?

Been doing lot of testing on my main server so it may of froze up the VM a little causing weird time issues. I'll check the grim reaper's strike thing though. Weird it only started doing that now, considering that code has not been touched in almost a year.

Any chance of changing the Arcane Earrings into something worth getting?

Arcane earrings already have the better stat mods than any other earrings you can get. +8 all three primary stats and like +8 stam or mana I think. On the right suit they are awesome.

No, you are thinking of tiger teeth earrings. Arcane earrings are turds.

Normal earrings aren't even supposed to spawn with properties which is why arcane earrings were so much better back in the day (along with tiger teeth being a greater). Now that earrings have properties, arcane earrings are pretty much worthless if you have a better set of earrings so they fall into the category of dud aoas or doom artifacts.

So did I, and I would do champs and say OMFG I just got another one. And back then they had more props than they have now too.

I just had a thought...or a memory...or both...

Anyways. Years ago, I used to play on a shard named "Crystalgate". One of my very most favorite features of this incredibly custom shard, was that you could force corpses to disappear and drop all their loot on the ground by cutting them twice with a dagger or other bladed object. The first cut would act as normal, skinning the corpse or returning the message that your efforts were for naught. The second cut would check for the first cut, then it would empty the pack to the ground and delete the corpse.

This made looting at a champ spawn very profitable, made collecting hides and scales incredibly easy, and ensured that no corpse went unturned.

This didn't work on humanoid or boss corpses, you still had to loot them the old fashioned way.

Mind you.... the decay time on items left lying around is only 25 minutes there, and this shard DID host upwards of 600 people at one time. (single accounts only, POL95 '99-'01)

Just a thought. :/

There should be a quest of some sort for the players to rebuild the city. Have some sort of collection box that requires us to submit a certain amount of resources. With stages.

Such as, once we reach stage one, a certain amount of walls would be constructed. Stage two, a few more walls, and maybe a roof or two. Etc, etc.

I think this would be a good development for the city, once the mysterious circumstances regarding the wall are unravelled and we dispel the blackrock threat. I always liked Magincia. It's a shame that it's gone.

I'd welcome a rebuilding process, and I'd do as much as I could to gather the resources to fund it.

It was bound to happen eventually. Ultima Lore dictates that Magincia was a city of ruins.

Not a bad idea. In fact, already had a similar idea involving a collection box but that would be pretty cool to do.
