Vampire Gems

This is a simple idea. At level 60, you can buy a very cheap artifact (At most 20cr. Maybe not even that, maybe something that costs only gold. The cheaper the better; free is ideal.) that greatly enhances the experience gained from killing other players.

The catch is, it only works on other people who also carry one such gem. The gem can tell you who those other people are (It works like the QW command; it doesn't reveal people with gems of cloaking, but shows people in other planes if you have the adequate skills.)

Obviously this is so people going for demigod or high levels have a better source of experience than clearing out midbie bashing areas.

I don't like the idea of bashing for demigod by killing other people. Plus, xp from killing can't exceed xp loss from getting killed, and that would greatly limit this idea.

its kinda stupid but to show good light on it maybe make people who dont have the item when they get pked dont lose much exp but having the gem causes you to lose alot by pvp from somone who does thus people who dont really want to pvp dont have to pick one up and dont really want to fight while randomly bashing..

So basically it will enable players to state they want to pvp and it will make pvp a higher risk and profit situation.

But I'm not sure how this will improve anything... Only people expecting to win will get a gem...
But when they lose too much they will get rid of the gem... (And making it impossible to turn in, is also bad)

So, I don't think it will enable any kind of leveling up.

And gaining more experience then the other loses, is just asking for abuse...

Addendum: Make them not work when your victim gains avenger. This clears away possibilities of abuse.

Alternatively, make arena kills give experience?
Shamarah2007-09-04 14:09:02
Come on, that's just begging to be abused.

Well, Lusternia desperately needs alternate experience sources.

Have you played in the last six months? It's really not that hard.

It takes patience - bashing is easy but takes time.

Also:

There is no such person, I'm afraid.

Read the quotes thread you will find Verithrax has an alt or two.

I really need to get demigod and get stats like those...

Back to the point, I don't like this idea. Lusternia is a PK game where death is a part of life - giving this "PK or NON-PK" choice doesn't really fit.

They aren't that good. :/

Can I just get a gem that makes me a vampire? Oh and then can I get some vampire skills like Corpus, Mentis, etcetera. Kthx! Heh

So, you're implying that it just isn't possible for someone to keep a forum account and make another character, or even that his ideas may be any less valid because of perceived lack of recent play time? Yeah. Cause, like, no one here has a single forum account and multiple characters.

Epic fail. Now, be nice.

Then the people you're destroying just fail at curing tongue.gif
