Anything over 120 magery is pointless,but the other skills...no wonder they are hard to hit.After a 10 Minute fight GD vs this Revenant, and with his last undead breaths, he called for his friends who can open doors....needless to say OOoooooOOOOoooo...
This not serious...Dev's...realy?

not quite true, mind blast deals damage based on the users magery & int levels instead of eval, so this would, if they cast mind blast, cause the damage to be even higher (not sure if they do but there's other mobs with high magery like them that do)Anything over 120 magery is pointless,but the other skills...no wonder they are hard to hit.
Would "diminishing return" apply in this case with sdi? *scratches head*not quite true, mind blast deals damage based on the users magery & int levels instead of eval, so this would, if they cast mind blast, cause the damage to be even higher (not sure if they do but there's other mobs with high magery like them that do)
Necro's should be able to control them somehow.Can i tame one?![]()
If you have Spirit Speak you can talk to them... Join me!Necro's should be able to control them somehow.
Well, i lured it into a room to have a 1 on 1 and it went realy well, just took some time to bring its health down and my drag ran into stamina problems...it was my first encounter with this cirtter...but than, as i said, it called its friends, a liche spawned and one of those ghostly forms, i was standing next to my drag to heal him with bandaids, went into hiding, they went after him, all cool i thought, until the liches aura damaged me, revealed me...and...tried to recal out but had no chance...Why so had a Time I had and have no problems in there unless you get in the mix of to many creatures. One on one with w greater they go down easy. I am sorry but if you cannot kill only one with a greater you are doing something wrong. I have found nothing too hard in level 3 or 4 of Covetous dungeon out of the realm of the greated drag to handle other than raw numbers can overwhelm you.
I did notice that the critters on three and the ones on 4 are the same name but are considerably harder on 4. Many more HP, hit harder etc loot not scaled to match. I find it much more benificial to just kill the ones on three for reward is much better than risk involved.
Also noticed that Ethereal Voyage doesn't work against the Covetous Wyrm.
Nope. The higher the Magery, the harder their Poison is to resist.Anything over 120 magery is pointless,but the other skills...no wonder they are hard to hit.
There are no mobs anymore that cast Mind Blast. They haven't cast that in a VERY long time.not quite true, mind blast deals damage based on the users magery & int levels instead of eval, so this would, if they cast mind blast, cause the damage to be even higher (not sure if they do but there's other mobs with high magery like them that do)
Faction guards cast mind blast.....It's annoying too since they tend to bunch up, you'll run offscreen and be insta-killed by like 10 mindblasts at once well after you saw them.Nope. The higher the Magery, the harder their Poison is to resist.

Eh?Why so had a Time I had....
Hmmm....show me that in a codex somewhere. I understood that only eval int and poison skill was the determining factors in that spell.Nope. The higher the Magery, the harder their Poison is to resist.
I am honestly inviting you to come with me to Level 4 Covetous and show me how easy you take down one of this critters one on one with your GD or any other char...we have been there yesterdays with 4 GD's and took on this critters - some took us more than 10 mins or even longer to take down - 4 people with 4 GD's - the Ogres do easy retarget too so only ranged healing is possible...Why so had a Time I had and have no problems in there unless you get in the mix of to many creatures.

Was the loot at least better than normal? I just did a few LVL 3 guys w/ 850 luck on my mystic and never got anything better than Lesser Artifact. I can get that off of LVL 1 Shame and it's a lot easier to farm relics there. Figure LVL 4 will be vastly harder and not worth the time given even the LVL 3 critters can pack a punch--at least with spell damage. I tell ya, took them forever to give the game spell-casting lizardmen, and boy are they tough when compared to other mages like rat mages or orc mages.I am honestly inviting you to come with me to Level 4 Covetous and show me how easy you take down one of this critters
That's been around since UO launch, happens SOOO often on the snowbanks in T2A also. Has to do with the way a body lands on the stairs making it sometimes unlootable, If you have a small amount of magery (or are human and have scrolls) a workaround you can do until whichever decade they start fixing bugs in is use telekinesis, it opens the body and pops it out makign it lootable.Let me learn how you do it pls. Oh, and i am NOT COMPLAINING Dev's - can stay like that - just remove the BUG if they die on the stairs you cant loot them (or if YOU die on the stairs you have to log out and in to get your stuff)
hmmm....like how the 10th anny items work? btw, I posted about hiding/10th anny a few ago. turns out you can get 10th anny drops off the covetous monsters while you're invised, haha. could have sworn they made it so you had to be visible, but maybe it's just near the mob when it dies.but since there is a chance to get one of the new arties droped by killing these, its something else people try to farm them
Txs Poo, so disco ftw...i just came back from there on my disco tamer with a GD.
i had no trouble at all.
only things that gave me challenge was the Cov Rev's and the Bone Swordslingers.
but as long as i had them alone i had them dead in a minute or 2.
everything in there is disco-able so that makes them die faster.
all in all, fun!
when it got bad was when a crowd would form, then all bets where out the window, haha
I think only useful for turn-in (Clean Up Brit) nowyes like the 10th anniversary items drop..and yes they drop even you hidden...got some by defending the pool and hunt any kind of monsters there...but than, who realy needs em![]()
Nah, invising or hiding just decreases the chance of a drop on the 10th anniv ones.. could have sworn they made it so you had to be visible, but maybe it's just near the mob when it dies.
Hey Poo... mind posting that template?i just came back from there on my disco tamer with a GD.
i had no trouble at all....
just a normal disco tamer.Hey Poo... mind posting that template?

Do you wear the Virtuoso armor on him/her?just a normal disco tamer.
tame/lore/vet/music/disco/magic
all 120.
ok, I will... Thanks for the pictures, whatever they got, I don't think I need.i am NOT COMPLAINING Dev's
Tell it the Archer that used a dragon slayer and all buffs and did 11 damage max IF he even landed a hit...lol....1k arrows later he left...BTW 90+ in every resist means every weapon without Armor Ignore just got that much more worthless.
So is Level 4....So... Level 3 of Covetous.... Mages need not bother... Check...
or dexxers for that matter unless you have someone else with a GD tanking for you and discording it....i think coras minions are stronger than she is!So... Level 3 of Covetous.... Mages need not bother... Check...
I'd guess yes and no (t's a untested guess going entirely off a quick run though to see what was up there on TC1), a samp in wraith form will have the mana to chain AI (with those resists and hp no other attacks will really matter) but the hit chance is still suck, without someone discording it for you you'll still have a crappy time, honor won't be terribly useful without diso either.Sampires work well on L3? I might have to dust mine off then...
There's free software out there for that, Poo... We'd love to see some of your videos!.....i wish i could make some videos and put them up on youtube....
I'm w/ ya on this. Many have asked for inflation control, I think this is it. If gold becomes harder to get, the negative inflation is bandaged. I'm good for quite a while I think, for gold, so I'm not too affected. What Does affect me is long hard grinds are not fun, more grinds, less fun. I think it'll hit a point between control and the easy button, where some will just stop playing.The devs fixation on giving us supermonsters and failing to incentivize anything properly
