I have done
Patience quest chain (starts with 20 mushrooms) and
Dicipline quest chain (starts with killing 50 rats in sanctuary)
each 3 times this week.

Upon completing the chain I receive for either npc, they tell me to come back in a few minutes. I never receive any kind of reward. I do not get a spellweaving book.
Heaaalp?

Where it says the port and "Shard Info", that light blue on light green is too hard to read. Really, I have to squint my eyes till it hurts. Even then I can barely see it.

[gives to warrior (collection guy)]

I built a script for 'Mace and Shield' donating.
Auto:
Tinks spare tink tools and tongs if needed,
restocks from bank,
makes bucklers,
gives to warrior (collection guy)

Collecting resources, like mining/fishing/lumber is fine, but not gold (i.e. hunting/selling)
This isn't really gold though, prepping for gold. It is prepping for an item which could[ be sold, just as if I were to do so with scrolls inscripting. Can I do this afk?

-.- the math says it should take around 40hrs to get 800k points.

"Reflecting Physical"

Capped at 50 (here). It only effects 'Physical' type damage. Doesn't matter if it is ranged or melee or spell. If it is physical, it is 'reflected'.

That said, most aged duelers know not to use weapons with physical damage to avoid such returned damages (or energy for elf resists). So I have two suggestions for the property.
1. Split the caps. PvP cap of 50, but no PvM cap.
2. Either make it effect all (except direct) damage types, or add in new propertise for 'Reflecting Fire/Cold/Poison/Energy'.

 :lol: I used a 105% (normal cap) suit with 44 phy resist on my mage on demise and it just rips through dexers there becuase no one expects it.  :lol:

Imbuing Questions

1. Does removing a property count towards Imbue Attempt Chance (max 20) ?

2. Does the Damage Increase from exceptional weapon count toward Imbue Weight ?
 - That is, if DI is not an added property, but exists solely due to being exceptional.

3a. Which propertise DO NOT count toward the Imbued Weight AND/OR Property Count?

3b. Are the success rates of those propertise effected by current Imbued Weight?
 - That is, should I add those before ones that do effect the weight for better chances?

4. Where are some of the Ingredients on Pandora?
 - [LINK] Stratics Imbue Ingredients [LINK]
 - I know Pandora differs in some of the ingredient sources. What is where?

5. What can I do to raise Imbue Success Rates? Or is this it?
 - Be a gargoyal.
 - higher imbuing (duh)
 - From Stratics: "The soul forge in the Royal City gives a slight success bonus, and the Queen's soul forge gives the highest success bonus."
 - - - (How does the portable soul forge compare?)



6. I'm totally new to Imbuing... How should I go about making x/x/x/x/x/x/x/x gear ?
 - Like, I want earrings with:
 - - Faster Cast
 - - Faster Cast Recovery
 - - HCI
 - - DCI
 - - Damage Increase
 - - Spell Damage Increase
 - - Strength
 - - Dex
 - - Int
 - -

Do I start with earrings I find that have 1/3 cast and start imbuing?
If it has 1/3 cast and 11 HCI, is it better to imbue over for 15% or remove THEN imbue?
Or do I start from a plain 1 FC peice? Or 8/8/8 stat peice...
I don't know. Help?

^_6 I'll write up a complete guide when I'm more familiar with the system myself.

I think it was you guys who were saying about building a wiki page. Well, could we have a stone (also accessable via command) to serve as a sort of knowledge base in-game?

Maybe something something like below if you want to conserve space and cpu.

---------------------------------------------

Please see our wiki for shard information!
[ wiki link ]
[rules link aka tos]

[Within a scrollable box: other important notes, possibly including shard news/updates]

---------------------------------------------

I mean thats not much to code, but could be worth testing out the usefullness. Would want to put any 'stones' where new players spawn of course. And I say 'stones' becuase new players dont know commands. Old players often dont either.

It might even be nice to have an in-game information room.
... Food for thought...

I have been thinking a lot about stats and how they influence the game, and I think they deserve a bit more influence... I'm not a mod here. So don't go thinking they are planning it. I hope to bring some awareness to the subject is all. If there is support, there is an idea for modding.

As stands, the basic stat choice is:
Str - HP, WeaponDamage
Dex - BandaidSpeed, SP (effects swingspeed)
Int - SpellAI (150+int), MP

So you usually get some one with 150 base str + either maxed dex or int, no matter what kind of character you are.

Although the stats are said to help with skills they are related to, I don't believe that is the case in most situations. Changing that may give more meaning to the choices we make. Strength already has an obvious huge plus - Health. That alone makes it the most important stat. But say your not a fighter... A crafter only benifits from Strength in holding more weight. What stat does he get next? Some dex for the hell of it, and some int for a decent manapool for protection. And if you ARE a fighter? Your choosing between dex (bandaids/swingspeed) or int (spellAI/mp). There is room for most skills to be effected by stats without upsetting the balance of pvp, while inviting incentive to try different stat builds. This would of course invite more players to have a crafter character that is not their main character becuase of the drastic stat-build changes, but really, its not much work, and its a unique way to add some variability to the no-skill-cap system.

I can give a few examples for thought...
Stealth: Added steps (dex/25)
Tailoring: Bonus success rate [after minimum is met] (dex/20 + int/50)
Inscription: Bonus success rate (int/25)
Fishing: Higher 'catch' teir chance...
Mining: Higher ore/stone/gem...
Spells: bonus spell damage [not applied as sdi, to match str's str*0.3 effect] (int / 5)
Spells: take less damage from spells [PvM] (int/20)%
Taming: Success chance bonus (int/50 + dex/100)%
Taming: less chance to anger (95 - (int/10 + dex/25))
Luck: penalty. final luck: (luck / (luck + int))
Spells: stat curses/buffs + (relativeStat/20 + int/25)... curse may drop stats by say... 19str/12dex/16int instead of 8/8/8. Single stat effect spells could have greater influence rates to promte their use over using 'curse'.
etc...

Even if you don't agree with my example amounts... I want to know, would you support having stats give bonuses and/or disadvantages to certain game aspects?
You are also welcome to give further stat-based suggestions.

Most (not all) of the properties and their normal caps are listed below. What I want to know is: What are the caps / changes on Pandora? If anyone can confirm these caps or refute them I would appreciate it.

Resists:
 - 70/70/70/70/70*
 - Energy Caps at 75 for elves.
 - Beast forms can and do alter resists. I'm too lazy to look those up. xD
 - Curse temporarilly sets caps to 60 each. It does not remove 10. It lowers your cap.

Bandage Speed
 - 2.00 sec (at 180 dex)
 - formula for self heal is ( 11 - 0.05*Dex ), capped min at 2.00

Battle Lust
[taken straight from UOGuide.com]
"Significant damage received from opponents will be added to the attacker's Battle Lust, causing them to do more damage to all opponents the attacker engages. This damage bonus is further modified by how many opponents the attacker is aggressed against.

The damage bonus is 15% per opponent, with a cap of 45% in PvP and 90% in PvE. Battle Lust is gained every two seconds and decays at a rate of one point every six seconds."

Mana Phase

"When one of Mana Phasing Orb charges is used, next two mana checks become free, until you do damage or attempt to use mana."
 - largely ineffecient due to charges being used.

Rage Focus
[taken straight from UOGuide.com]
"Rage Focus is an item property found on some items that causes the damage inflicted to start off below -20% normal but steadily rises until it can surpass the 300% damage cap with a +20% bonus. In effect, initial damage is lower than normal, but eventually reaches a point where the attacks are higher than otherwise possible before the cycle ends and then begins to repeat. "
