What is the difference between Master weapons and normal weapons?

The max attainable stats, I believe. Masterworks tend to have higher ratings all around than normal weapons and thus require more commodities.

Pretty much what Vashner said, the stat caps and bottoms are higher, so they're naturally better, I think they also last a big longer as well.

This is not entirely true. I've seen normal weapons that have stats equivalent to masterworks. The difference is that since normal weapons have a much larger range of possible stats, producing one that is as good as a master work becomes realistically impossible.

EDIT: Does ordering your pet to web interrupt a timed instakill in progress?

Depends on the instakill.

Does it really? The question seems to be "If I order my pet to do something aggressive, does it count as an action on my part and break my timed instakill?" If I'm reading it right, any exception should be envoyed to be brought in line with the others. I'm also hoping the answer is yes.

That is essentially the question,

I don't know if it does, but IMO it shouldn't since there are BEAST ACTIONS and your actions.

Anyway, try in the arena?

...you have no idea what you're talking about. Heh.

They should stop all timed instakills that require the caster to do absolutely nothing. If you find any that don't stop it, BUG it.

... how does ordering a beast to do something not count as you taking an action (even if it consumes no balance/eq)? That's certainly more of an action than the "EYE" emote, yet that stops these instakills as well.

I said IMO it shouldn't, not that IMO it doesn't.

I said it shouldn't because it appears Estarra and the lot tried to make it clear there are your actions and then there are beast actions.

That's my only reason why. My opinion very well may be wrong.

But it's still your action ordering the beast to do something, isn't it?

It just doesn't use up your own EQ/Balance, so you can do something else after that.

How about the balance issues of blackout, soulless, paralysis, then an after-the-fact webbing? I'm still waiting for one of the game's current druid combatants (are there any?) to properly abuse the one macro saplock.

The reason I answered that way is because I misinterpreted the question to be about what would happen if someone -else- beast-webbed you (I wondered why beast web specifically but whatever) during your insta. Chasm wouldn't be interrupted, but IIRC judge would.

Anyways, besides all this grr-stuff in the above posts, yes, if you try to order your beast to do anything while in the middle of an instakill, your instakill will stop. You can order before the insta and then initiate the kill, but midway, it'll drop.

Awww. I wanted to Spider Sphere, Web, Instakill, Web, DEATH.

Does 'growth' in nature accelerate the growth of growing Ravenwood/Moonhart trees as well as herbs?

Yes
