daganev:

Question, I took a squad out hunting for about 3 hours and only generated 8 power.
Is this all squads do, or is there some formula that is needed to generate significant power from squads?

Power generation depends on the strength of the mobs being hunted, and additional powers (such as commandant items, or Respect). Killing big mobs means more power.

daganev:

As a tae'dae I have 12 dmp resistance to cutting and blunt. lvl 3

Your 12 DMP resistance is completely separate to your level 3 resistances; they aren't calculated as part of DMP (and should be around 30% each pre-DMP I believe).

How much more power?


Your 12 DMP resistance is completely separate to your level 3 resistances; they aren't calculated as part of DMP (and should be around 30% each pre-DMP I believe).


Then where is that 12 base dmp coming from? It's still there when I remove armor and all defenses.

Check BODYSCAN RESISTANCES FULL? Could be trans Low/Highmagic or Resilience, perhaps?
Lilia2012-07-29 19:20:40
It's resilience, you get 12 DMP to cutting and blunt at trans, and 6 DMP to poison.

Huge astral bashes like the time we had to drain all the nodes for a world event will bring in several hundred power. Otherwise, it's pretty insignificant.

When did they get around to adding in standardized curing messages? I can s- out a system in like ten minutes now :)

I'm lazy in a way, yet also very independent. Don't like using other people's systems even when they're good, but I don't like having to collect affliction lines either, so I am glad to see they have apparently gotten to this.

why can't we trade in the golden lips arti? they can be bought but not traded in for credits
Kagato2012-07-30 02:17:23
I believe if you use the CONFIRM command it will still give you the credits, it has been brought up a few times and to my knowledge is being looked into.

Random thought, why don't we get directed to vote on other game ranking sites? I think everyone in MUDs already knows about the IRE games, trolling topmudsites is probably not doing much for the games anymore.

That sounds like something you should BUG.

Anyone ever consider having a queue for vengeance games? It doesn't look like there is one available.
Unknown2012-07-30 05:54:09
So I do portal search shops choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic etc. in the aethershop and nothing comes up. Is there something else going on or are these basic cures actually sold out?
Ssaliss2012-07-30 05:56:33
What's going on: You're enemied to Glom, or you'd be able to Shop Wyrden :P But yeah, I've noticed some things have been sold out in other shops. Not sure why, really; they're all easy enough to make.

What you could do is to make your way to the Halli shopping district and buy them from my shop there. It's room ID is 19876, in case you need the help of an autowalker to navigate.

Winnae hates Hallifax!
Ssaliss2012-07-30 06:00:17
Oh, and just in case you're curious:

135 Tower a sanguine purgative (keg refills) 99 200gp
757 Wyrden a sanguine purgative (keg refills) 100 100gp
757 Wyrden a sanguine purgative (keg refills) 100 100gp

135 Tower a choleric purgative (keg refills) 0 200gp
135 Tower a choleric purgative (keg refills) 100 200gp
335 poppy a choleric purgative (sapphire vial) 5 400gp
757 Wyrden a choleric purgative (keg refills) 100 100gp
757 Wyrden a choleric purgative (keg refills) 100 100gp

135 Tower a phlegmatic purgative (keg refills) 100 200gp
135 Tower a phlegmatic purgative (keg refills) 5 200gp
341 sparkle a phlegmatic purgative (keg refills) 6 250gp
757 Wyrden a phlegmatic purgative (keg refills) 100 100gp
757 Wyrden a phlegmatic purgative (keg refills) 100 100gp



So they are available, but not in a whole lot of shops.

If you are referring to the output from CONFIG AFFMESSAGES, that is most definitely not sufficient to use in a curing system.

Why not? Does it not have all of the afflictions? I'm not expecting it to cover hidden afflictions or anything.

Also, how do figurines and esteem work? Do you buy a figurine in a shop and then imbue it?
Ssaliss2012-07-30 10:21:32
You can also get a jeweller to make you one, but that's pretty much it, yeah. Instead of imbuing tens or hundreds of needles, you imbue a single figurine. When offered it's destroyed though.

*eyeshift* (Any Xiran sightings are figments of your imagination, which apparently get poked for confirmation.)

Say you're a trans alchemist, and have an empty keg to fill. What do you usually do? Using herbs for 84 refills would get you a little over 100 keg refills (50 sips each) due to the bonus when you're transcendent.
a ) Use herbs and power for 90 refills (because the power cost for just 4 refills would be wasteful), and stash the extra 8 keg refills in your liquid rift.
b ) Be conservative. Use herbs and power for 80 refills, resulting in 96 keg refills with the bonus.
c ) ?
Ssaliss2012-07-30 16:17:15
For my own kegs: b). For kegs for others: c) brew for 84, and ignore the non-optimal power cost.

I left my beast in the facility cause I couldn't get out and had to heartstop there... any way to get it back besides going to the facility again?
