GM is needed to understanding ghosts (REAL)

tested for about 2-3 weeks (95 REAL skill and +15 SS ring)
changed it to 100 real and i can see and well as understand them ([censored] chat that i ganged them when there was other dead players about)

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the update... there was a time when SS at any level would allow you to intermitantly understand ghosts, of course, that was before it was good for anything else.

 

[popcans343]

Could somone explain to me about the speical moves having less mana cost?? does this mean i should swich my dexxer back to a human?? How much of a diffrance would it really make? 2mana? 5mana? 10 mana?

+20 Applied to reduced mana cost for special moves (-5 Mana Cost with 20 Lumberjack, 20 Stealth, 20 Poison, 20 Bushido, 20 Ninjitsu, 20* Swords, 20* Mace, 20* Fencing, and 20* Archery {*one weapon skill must be 70+ &lt;min to use a special move&gt;}, &amp; -10 Mana Cost with one weapon skill at 120, or equivilant)


[/ QUOTE ]

So essentially, if your primary weapon skill is GMed, and you have none of the other 'discounting' skills, you will benefit from the equilent of 20 points in each of them anyway for being human, giving you enough points to get the -5 mana cost benefit. With just an additional 20 points in that weapon skill, or 40 points dedicated to any of the other weapon skills, your total number of points will be sufficient to get the -10 mana cost benefit.

With reduced mana cost on all weapon specials, and the added perk of increased HP regen, human is a no brainer for a pure Dexxer, IMO. I think elf was oversold early by too many people who didn't spend the time to understand the more subtle benefits of staying human.

 

[hillel jordan]

So if I am an elf 115 parry at 50 dex with a shield helps me block 1/4 times, but bc I am a human my jac of all trades gives me 20 bushido which drops my parry with a shiled to 21 percent??? Is that right???

 

[Guest]

Nope.... the developers have said that the effects of Bushido on Parry are based on real skill, not JoAT skill. I went out of my way to confirm that, and did a bit of testing once ML hit to verify it, to the best of my ability.

A lot of people think my ML human dexxers have parry because I manage to block enough of their shots to leave doubt... but I don't have room for it.

 

[hillel jordan]

cool thanks man. I go with a ninja mage with parry template, I just need some mana regen items and I made myself human for the 3 mr from med and focus and the 20 tracking for deathstrike

 

[Guest]

You bring up a common mythconception that is popular in UO right now:

Meditation / 10 = Mana Regen benefit.

That is false.

Meditation works using a completely different set of calculations than the mana regen property. Meditation is used to determine your base rate of meditation, whereas Focus and Mana Regen are modifiers to that base rate... In much the same way that Evaluate Intelligence does not equate to Spell Damage Increase (EI is used to determine base damage, not damage modifers).

Click here for all the details on Meditation.

In the JoAT section for Meditation, I approximated the equivilant MR of meditation (as I did for Eval Intelligence) but the formula for mediation is very complicated and is reliant on your current mana level for success as well as your Intelligence to determine the final rate... so I based on 120 Int. If anybody is hot for more detail, I can break the benefits down for 20 point increments in Intelligence, but I am lazy, so I expect cookies for my work.

 

[Guest]

I got bored.

20.0 Meditation Skill

10 Int = 0.28 m/s
20 Int = 0.40 m/s
30 Int = 0.43 m/s
40 Int = 0.45 m/s
50 Int = 0.48 m/s
60 Int = 0.50 m/s
70 Int = 0.53 m/s
80 Int = 0.55 m/s
90 Int = 0.58 m/s
100 Int = 0.60 m/s
110 Int = 0.63 m/s
120 Int = 0.65 m/s

Now, since JoAT has +20 Focus as well, you get a 0.1 m/s increase at any lvl. exp

20.0 Meditation (JoAT) + 20.0 Focus (JoAT) =

10 Int = 0.38 m/s
20 Int = 0.50 m/s
30 Int = 0.53 m/s
40 Int = 0.55 m/s
50 Int = 0.58 m/s
60 Int = 0.60 m/s
70 Int = 0.63 m/s
80 Int = 0.65 m/s
90 Int = 0.68 m/s
100 Int = 0.70 m/s
110 Int = 0.73 m/s
120 Int = 0.75 m/s

Now if, for some reason you have more Focus, every 20 Focus = 0.10 m/s increase.

20.0 Meditation (JoAT) + 100.0 Focus =

10 Int = 1.28 m/s
20 Int = 1.30 m/s
30 Int = 1.33 m/s
40 Int = 1.35 m/s
50 Int = 1.38 m/s
60 Int = 1.40 m/s
70 Int = 1.43 m/s
80 Int = 1.45 m/s
90 Int = 1.48 m/s
100 Int = 1.50 m/s
110 Int = 1.53 m/s
120 Int = 1.55

Hope this helps!

[/ QUOTE ]

TO answer your question in truth, with 20 Focus and 20 med, you will only get .50 MR total. So add some MR to your gear cause .50 won't get you anything.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for filling in the gaps here.... and pointing out the error I made.

I suspect the error I made was not not subtracting out the difference for 0 skill to determine the MR equivilant. I crunched em again, using only the differences, and came up with the same numbers everybody else was getting. Ignore the earlier arrogance on my part

This is what makes peer review so nice. When somebody takes the time to not just say you are wrong, but to illustrate why, then it lets everybody who is willing to learn, do so.

 

[Guest]

I was just very very...very bored. lol It was fun though! give me another to do!

 

[The Soldats]

For herding
Can heard all the tames that you can tame w/25 skill

So just copy paste the tame list to herding, dont think those extra 5 that herd gives adds anymore

 

[Guest]

At last! We have 'herd' from an expert :S

Ok, enough bad jokes. Off to update herding info. Thanks for the info.

 

[Guest]

A bit of begging trivia if you want to add it..

Begging skill (real or JoaT) = % chance to receive gold from an NPC.
The amount of gold received is dependent on your karma, up to 25gp.

Heartwood elves give items rather than gold. Some items are rarer than others, but the rarity is based on random chance rather than skill level. It's possible for a JoaT beggar to get the rarest of beggable elf items through sheer luck.
