[Discussion] How tell difference between pre-patch golem and regular golem?

[Potgut]

How can you tell the difference between pre-patch golem and regular golem? or would one have to prove and test manually if the golems takes no damage with 100% poison weapon?

-thanks

I believe that it can be lored by someone with 120 Animal Lore (maybe as low as 110 - not sure).

Im going to sound stupid here probs but...what is the difference?

I have a pre patch Golem, I think you can tell if you just sit there and watch it for a while. A Pre Patch golem will not lose any hitpoints whilst being hit by it's owner with a 100% poison weapon. On the other hand if you watch somebody hit with a 100% poison weap and it does take damage then you know it's not pre-patch.

Last i saw a pre-patch golem sell was for about 15mil.

so is the only difference between the 1% poison resistance?

thats a ridiculous amount of gold for something you dont even need! (there are other things out there with 100% poison resist)

Yeah the pre-patched golems wouldn't take any damage when hit by a 100% poison weapon. The new ones take 1 point, so if your hitting a max swing speed, it is easy to knock the health down pretty quick. You can repair the golem either with a tinker or if you have spellweaving, cast gift of renewal on it. Just don't fall asleep.

So i was right in thinking that a pre patch golem is a 15mil stableable (not sure if thats a word) artic ogre lord!

WOW.

Dont know if i should have said that if you dryad allure an artic ogre lord it works the same as a golem (oh and will go to gm-gm in the skills) with 100% poison resist so no dmg taken no loss of durability on weap

"So i was right in thinking that a pre patch golem is a 15mil stableable"

Yes this is correct.

I have found that I gain faster with an Arctic Ogre Lord. Could be random I suppose.
