Part of the lore behind the orion bow is that it doesn't use arrows, but rather converts magic into the projectile.

XP was passing proper in tests too. :\ No reason it shouldn't. :/

I *assumed* when people said they were doing 1000's they meant DOT (as while I could see where it might do more than the 360 total - it shouldn't be able to do more than 180 per pulse, period.)

I shall endevor to look into it when I get the chance (I r in land of undependable net, remoting me rig right now). If it gets fixed, it'll likely be a serverside only JUN2008a patch, that will be mandatory for FN. Other than, mayhaps, server-side patches, I intend to stick to my goal of making sure the next release is a full one.

Do we have to wait THAT long for a patch?

JAN2008a - rather, sorry.

DoT XP seems to be passing fine, maybe too fine. I did old_helena about 1 and half times using poison cloud and orion bow. I got about 12k affliction XP in about 15 minutes (if that).

EDIT: For reference I'm still 100,000 XP away from leveling affliction, and I'm 60% there.

I, for one, like it.

Quick, somebody flame me pointlessly!

That's cool that you can buy bank notes now. However, just having a 100gp note is a little limiting. It would be cool if we could buy notes in 500gp, 1000gp, 2000gp, 5000gp and 10,000gp denominations. Hell, even 50,000gp or 100,000gp denominations too would be even better. I can see some of you may be against this idea, as it would be easy to make a newbie feel richer than Richie Rich, but it would open up another way of trading.

When I started my new character, having only 1,000 gold made me feel rich again

That wouldn't work because then you could, like, give them to someone and then you'd be, like, showering them, like, with gold. :roll:

 

[Orochi]

I personally have no problem with trading gold. It would open better methods of payment for items, and giving new players gobs of gold doesn't really help much, as they can get all beginner equips but are still limited by weight and item limit. Besides, it's done in many other multiplayer role-playing games.

 

[Thothie]

And it's also why a lot of them don't let you trade gold.

Some level requirements I forgot to mention:
Ice Shield, Lesser (spellcasting: 3)
Potion of Stability (none)
Lesser Bag of Holding (none)
North Maul (primary - bluntarms: 25, stun - bluntarms 27, blizzard - spellcasting.ice 10, ice wave - spellcasting.ice 15 )
Heavy Crossbow (archery 15)
Healing Circle (spellcasting: 20)
Kharaztorant Fire Blade (primary - smallarms: 15, throw - smallarms 17)
The Hoarfrost Shard (primary - swordsmanship: 20, Ice Lance - spellcasting.ice: 17, Circle of Ice: none )
Thornbow - (archery 15)
Dagger of Ice - (primary - smallarms: 20, Ice Burst: none)

 

[Jelly]

Btw, now that we have a healing circle, can we get that holy circle?

Ummm, has anyone used thier UGA lately?

OMFG!! The UGA has been super nerfed, and I don't understand why. I was hitting creatures (the elementals, the ices skeles after and the queen) on ms_snow for less than 225hp with a 2 charged attack in total, 120 for the charge + 90. WTF is up with that?!?!? Here is a weapon that you have to quest for, break, get lucky and find ore for and then blow 110,000gp and it hits for crap damage now. There was nothing wrong with the damage it did, for what one has to do to get it. Hell, I may as well stick with my other axes and put the UGA on a wall so I can look at how pretty it is, because it's not worth using anymore. What a waste for such a hard earned weapon...

and this stupid orion bow who makes this game so boring.

 

[Thothie]

The UGA's primary attack has been untouched. The secondary attack had to be converted to the new damage system - it may have gotten semi-nerfed in the process, as the multiplier changed as a result. Will look into.

 

[The Man In Black]

And the ore isn't as hard to get, anymore :roll:

 

[HumanSteak]

I agree that UGA is more a divination training weapon since the damage aren't worth the time it takes to charge and the miss rate, without mentioning the quest and money-collecting process. I haven't seen anyone use one in ages.
If it could do something like cast holy circle as a third charge it might be used for it But I'd rather an UGA doing nice damage and another nice scroll to hunt for .

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

/startwhine
I think all axes that have the "great axe" model don't have the damage to make up for their low hit rate...

I guess they would be good once you have 50 axe skill
