Title: is there a quest to go from elf/ human to gargoyle?
Post by: Squeeke on January 03, 2013, 01:15:03 PM
apparently gargoyles are the best race to play.  Throwing seems to be an only gargoyle skill and I wish to have a character with every skill.  I refuse to have any extra characters so this is an important question for myself.  Not going to spend anymore time raising another character.

No you can't turn into gargoyle and no it's not the best race to play if you are interested in having challenges. I admit it can do some serious dmg in PvM and PvP. And throwing is not only a gargoyle skills. Humans/ elfs have throwing axes and those throwing nets but they can only be bought with PvP coins.

I agree with grim, but if your looking for imbuing, you cannot beat a garg with 120 imbuing and a port forge....Nigel

gargoyles cant have archery though as far as I know so your really not getting anymore skills.


On a side note if more people joined these pvp events I would have more pvp coins.

I mean it would be more fun and practice for everyone as well as a free way to learn a few pvp tips and tricks, even if you don't pvp ( you may have to defend yourself sometime)

The bonus garg characters get with imbuing is only really apparent with lower skill levels. As you go higher with imbuing, the bonus gets less less. At 120, with a doni forge, the bonus would not even be noticeable, if at all.
I have an elven character with 120imbue and doni forge, and i do all my own imbuing just fine.

There are several differences between gargs and elf/human, its not possible to "have it all".. Yes, gargs have throwing but they cannot use archery. gargs can fly so they can have all pet slots fighting and still move at mounted speed but they cannot mount pets ever. elves are great for making tough chars as they get 75 energy resist and their night sight frees up an imbue slot. .
The only race to avoid is human as thier "jack of all trades" ability is useless on a no skill cap shard and with the 600 stone weight limit on your backpack and 827 stone rated carry ability at 225 strength makes the "strong back" ability useless too with humans.
Good luck :)

Im pretty sure humans get an extra hit point regeneration over elves and gargs...But with maxed gear, thats not that big of a win.

But lack of night site makes it more fun. And more like the original OSI where I had to cast it before I went dungeon crawling. It was a fun quirk I got used to.

I actually took off all my nightsite items when I was doing the deco at my Castle just to get a good effect for the lighting, and find those hiding spots for lights. They illuminate, but are hidden by walls and stuff.

Just makes it more interesting for me personally.
