I have not played enough to see for myself, but did the loot bump do a difference? From what I've seen, it did, but I just want other's opinions on this.

Um... I'd say it's very little difference, if any at all. With 1200 luck I find it very very difficult to find 1/3 braces / rings even on the toughest mobs. It's very similar to demise the way it is here now.

I'll have to tweak the scripts some more then. Loot scripts are rather whacked the way they work. Not as simple as one would think. I did see some crazy ubber items though, but I've also seen lot of crap with hardly no mods.

Aw come on, we all know that you just have to change that "6" to an "8" and BAM, magical loot bumpz.

I'm surprised RunUO doesn't have some sort of a scaled system like that coded in.

I have noticed more items with 80-100% intensity mods. Mostly they are undesireable mods such as 50% dispel, 100% lower req, or 15% resist.

passive luck is actually at 1500 LOL. So with 0 luck, the loot is what 1500 luck would give you (without the cap, which is checked before hand).

I honestly see no need of more loot bumping, I dont even think we needed the one you gave, since we have vorpals lol

but if it has no sc.... lol can't cast and weild at same time. Don't think the skill check is done before it unequips so even if you make your macro keep re-equipping it, wont matter.

The worst is something like this:

hit fireball 50%
DMI 50%
hit physical area 20%.

The perfect pvp weapons ruined cause of that damn area spell.
