Christmas Credit Quandary

So after Christmas I ended up with about 500 credits. I don't really want an artifact, so what should I do? This is my current skill list:

CODE
Common Skills         Rank           Pool
-------------         ------------   ------------
Combat                Master         Melee
Resilience            Virtuoso       Fitness
Discernment           Expert         Intellect
Magic                 Capable        Arcana
Planar                Expert         Mysticism
Discipline            Fabled         Willpower
Environment           Expert         Communion
Influence             Inept          Magnetism
Riding                Inept          Magnetism
Arts                  Inept          Finearts
Dramatics             Inept          Performance
Lowmagic              Adept          Arcana
Aethercraft           Novice         Mysticism

Guild Skills          Rank           Pool
-------------         ------------   ------------
Knighthood            Transcendent   Melee
  Axelord
Athletics             Mythical       Fitness
Totems                Transcendent   Arcana
  Night

This gets me everything "needed" to fight, per se. Any suggestions?

The other thing I was wondering about was a change of locale. Lusternian knight combat is great, and I'm really loving Axelord with Night spec. That said, I'm getting kind of bored. I love to fight. Glomdoring is a great place to be, it just seems like the get a lot less action than Magnagora or Celest. Is this true or just me being crazy? Lately I've just been living for FFAs, Wargames, and those towne revolts.

On that subject, is there a class that is more "exciting" or "fun" than knights in one of the main cities? I'd prefer it not to be Celest, because their hunting rules are too limiting. Assuming I changed classes, I would be forgetting my three main pools (probably) and spending the 500 credits on skills plus a dagger (currently Taurian).

I'm completely indecisive on the matter at the moment as I've hit a bit of a rut. I may be able to win some fights here and there but I am still a 3 week newb to the mud, so take it easy on me. wink.gif

Join Celest!

As for credits, trans planar first. After that, trans discipline and trans resilience are extremely helpful.

Maybe also consider about Master Dramatics to get attidutes (which are needed to cure dramatics afflictions). Extremely useful in village influences.. but outside, only if you like debating. wink.gif

EDIT: And even if you don't like artifacts.. artie pipes can be very useful. Otherwise, what Forren said smile.gif

EDIT2: Except that I'm not sure about focus spirit.. it's so easy to pooka force it dry.gif

Oh yes, ignore that bit about joining Celest and join Seren! Forren wants to too! ninja.gif

How's the fighting? Really, that's what I'd be after in a locale change.
Shamarah2006-12-27 22:56:49
Planar --> Discipline --> Resilience is definitely the way to go.

Celest fights a lot. We're the dominant military force in the game right now.

What exactly does magic do? According to the help file, it deals away damage caused by magic. However, what's the actual percentage that it deals away?

Serenwilde-Glomdoring fighting is nothing compared to the level at which Magnagora and Celest raid. There are daily raids on Nil, Celestia, Earth, and Water. A few of us even raided inside Magnagora itself today to kill guards.

Between Celest and Magnagora, who is the underdog?

Honestly, it depends on the time of day.
Sintor2006-12-27 23:28:02
Spanning late afternoon, through primetime, into wee hours. I work a lot but play at the end of the day a lot. Joining a new city I wouldn't want to join the big guy and just be another foot kicking the one on the ground.

Don't forget to include your time zone now.

Glomdoring.


Changing your skills and switching cities based on who is fighting more this weak is going to have you switching cities every other month.

Trans planar so you can fight more off plane, get resilience to shrug poisons and take less damage.

Stop stealing away our fighters. sad.gif
Clise2006-12-27 23:49:47
Hmm? I could sworn there are occasional raids between Glomdoring and Serenwilde.

Occasional would be the key word. tongue.gif Which would mean, very little in comparison to Magnagora and Celest.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
