but gaining karma is a fairly slow process at early levels, so don't be surprised if you're not gaining a full % every time you do something. Even for me at lvl 86, a full Xion run (~70 or so high level corpses) is only about 8% karma.


for reference, if you need karma, doing the 6 dead adders thing (( found sw of celest, directly se of Lady Terentia's shrine in thevally... put the six dead adders in the pool, take the eggs, put the eggs in the mag zoo)) nets you 6% karma, only takes about 3 minutes.. and even at level 45, gives you about 40% exp per time. do this once every hour, if noone else gets there first :>

I currently have a level 40-50 shadowdancer, with 5 karmic blessings.. I log the alt on, do the adders, log off, play my main, come back later when the adders have respawned, rinse, repeat.... readnews announce 15 if you want background, but it DOES give major exp/karma, expecially for newbies. I point most proteges towards this quest as a way to make levels, but it's mostly open to the communes, as they can get into both cities..

indeed, you best be wearing rags!

You really don't need rags... just remove most things, not all. Rags are much more expensive than "free".

Oi... people do this and then abandon the baby adders to die by not finishing the quest, just to get karma?

Well, if I have the skill to grab the snakes and carry them, I try to do so. but I never have been able to do so

It doesn't take any special skill. There is a Hunting skill that helps but we didn't have Hunting back in the day and we still got it done.

It's kind of sad that you're paying for tattered clothing just to beg, anyway. Just be decent about 'removing most things'. That includes removing all enchanted jewelry, by the way.

Fixed for you and other readers.

I did not imply you need them, it does however help a lot. (I just wait until my robes change in them after many many mendings)

What does sadden me however is that the charity rune does not seem to make that much a difference (like 1 influence without dramatics), it would be nice if instead of doing whatever it does now it just makes you look optimal for the influencetype without having to change your entire wardrobe

That would make it so desirable...

You know...

I bet some of the benefit from the Charity rune gets lost from the extra appearance gained by wearing the jewelry that the rune is on.

one would think they kept that in mind when they designed the rune tongue.gif
