Neat tricks that only work on AoV or "did you know?&

Post by Red Squirrel »

Got bored so decided to make up a list, I might add more as I think of it.

- When an explosion potion is set off near another, it can possibly trigger it to explode as well. This does not only work with explosions but works with conflag as well.

- Coal ore, found while mining, can be lit and used as a forge

- Fire related spells/items can ignite coal - this includes camp fires.

- Coal and other fire sources can set off explosion potions - again, even camp fires.

fun things to try in regards to this:

- lay down a bunch of conflag potions near enough to each other, lay a coal trail to them, light a camp fire on top of the coal. Wait.

- tile a ton of conflag potions in a champ spawn area that has tons of mobs, drag as many mobs as you can there and if it's not already been done, cast earthquake to ignite all the potions. Whoever causes the ignition will be the one dealing the damage. Note that some mobs can cast EQ which may cause them to ignite, so it's a risk!

-cast fire spells on potions

- during the crystal daemon spawn, when there's lot of crystals, spam EQ spell to make them break faster


- Earth quake spell can set off potions, as well as land mines. Suspect land mines in the area? cast earth quake

- land mines can setup explosion potions (this can be very fun near moongates)

other stuff...

- most mobiles use a ai called super_ai. This means they are implemented in a way to use some skills directly like a player would. Mobs actually cast spells, they don't just emulate them. Mobs that have magery will actually cast spells up to what their level is, and all calculations are dependent on their skills like for players.

- some mobs will take advantage of detect hidden skills and randomly cast detect hidden around them. You are not safe if you hide near a magery mob!

- Most human npcs will randomly scan their pack for weapons in which they have enough skill to use, and swap weapons. They will also re-arm if disarmed.

- Changelings and any derivations of them such as travesty use the super_ai and take advantage of the skills of who it turned into. If you are a bard, all I can say is, good luck. ;)

Also there is an easter egg in gaunt but I'll leave it at that. Has to do with some pillars of sorts.
