"Too Big"

[The Man In Black]

Ok, I'm working on my mage and I tried to buy a spellbook, but it says that it's too big for me to carry. First, I'd like to note that no, not too heavy. It says too BIG. Second, for those doubters, I emptied my inventory and I still couldn't use it.

I'd like a quick response as I have nowhere to put my fire dart scroll since apparently sacks can't fit pieces of paper. I mean, why would it?

Edit: Wait, it fits in a SMALL sack, but not in a BIG sack.. Wtf? Had to go buy a small one...

 

[ceriux]

um u equip a spell book like armor....

 

[The Man In Black]

Um.. This isn't a problem with equipping. I can't pick it up.

 

[FER]

That problem used to happen when joining an outdated server

 

[Thothie]

Ya gotta use the small sack you start with for scrolls. The spell book weighs a bit to discourage n00bs from trying to make pure mages.

 

[The Man In Black]

That's.. just wrong in so many ways.

Why isn't it telling me that it's too heavy, then?

 

[Thothie]

Cuz apparently that size attribute that doesn't work for our packs and sheaths works just fine for players. ><

 

[Netrogor]

......... MiB don't you have a decently powerful character...

And Thothie; why would a spellbook weigh more than a sack...? Isn't it supposed to be... sorta... magical??

 

[The Man In Black]

Read the Chatter thing about ReBoot not thinking that non-melee based characters can't suceed/get high level spells. I'm proving it wrong.

 

[Thothie]

I hope he's right, cuz that is as it should be.

 

[The Man In Black]

Well, it's going to be hard considering I have 5 hp :|

Thothie - maybe magic should also give you a LITTLE HP, or something to allow one hit or so?

 

[Netrogor]

Ahh... well you'll never get to solo the big Ice Queen boss on ms_snow without some melee skills

One hit, you'll die by that nasty bitch... and since she's immune to all magics, you're screwed against her. So.... HAHA

 

[Thothie]

Thothie - maybe magic should also give you a LITTLE HP, or something to allow one hit or so?

That'd be on the hard code end.

And she's only immune to fire, ice, and poison (but not acid) - but with 5hp - I don't think you'd ever even SEE her, much less duke it out.

 

[The Man In Black]

She isn't immune to erratic lightning. Besides, I don't need to fight her. Freezing Sphere isn't something I'm after to prove this :roll:

I'm probably just going to get strong enough to get to/defeat Keledros once or twice. That'll be enough to prove you can get high level magic without melee skills. Unfortunately, Thothie had to be a bastard and make Keledros not like magic users.

 

[Thothie]

I dun think Keledros hates magic users anymore than he hates anyone else, so long as you don't hit him with rebuke undead.

...or have like 4 or 5 magic users hitting him at once to the point where the spam filter prevents him from casting his own spells - that REALLY pisses him off.

 

[The Man In Black]

I thought he yelled at you for wimpy magic and used Death magic on you =\

 

[Thothie]

That only happens if there are so many spells flying around at once that the anti-crash spam filter stops him from using his own. Usually requires a couple of spell casters using sustained things. (Blizzard, Lstorm, volcano, etc)

 

[The Man In Black]

Gotcha.

Okies, I'm going to do this. Oh yes, I'm going to do this.

 

[Netrogor]

And if you are on FN, I will somehow come in & help make him cast Death Magic

 

[The Man In Black]

I play on a locked server, just because of people like you :roll:

 

[Blasto121]

I personally can tell you it is possible, but very very painful. I broke down and started leveling the other skills so I could actually have HP. For the longest time however I didn't use anything else but magic.

I wish you the best of luck on your challenges ahead of you.

 

[Netrogor]

Blasto; my Vivi char had reached twelve SC before I cracked down & got sick of only twenty-seven hp (my parry somehow gave me health, figured it was awesome that it did; later noticed I gained health upon reaching thirty-four parry on my main char)...

Well, now all of my skills are at thirteen or fourteen, with SC at fourteen & parry at twenty-seven something... I think my Archery is at fourteen too though, so my title might not be Wizard atm

 

[Thothie]

I'm thinking if you get ALL your other skills to 10 or so first, it may be feasible. You'll have some parry skill, and enough hitpoints to avoid getting one-hit by anything.

 

[Shurik3n]

I have a level 13 Archer Arcana who, if given enough greater holy arrows, can beat CotBG and world walker (cept for the boss) solo. Hes got level 8 in everything then 12 parry 13 SC and 13 archery.

 

[The Man In Black]

I'm thinking if you get ALL your other skills to 10 or so first, it may be feasible. You'll have some parry skill, and enough hitpoints to avoid getting one-hit by anything.

Where's the challenge if I'm getting all those skills :roll:

If anyone has heard of the level 1 FF9 challenge, that's essentially what this is. I'm going to go through the game with a character that has 5 hp.

Besides, getting all the other skills to ten would ruin my title :roll:
