Is Ceremonial Burial not working? I've spent a significant amount of mana trying to perform it, but it keeps failing.

Dwarven set from Thorbardin is still bad.

Is there a reason why this set is so bad?

Not enough hands to fix all the items. Not enough reports to list all the bad items that need a fix.

Understood; thanks! As I encounter items that are difficult to obtain but underwhelming, I'll start a thread under IDEA for item improvements.

Really, let's just say bye-bye to limits while we're in museum mode?

When you have 10-20 players online, there's always some risk for the shiny-holder, even if they barely scratch by mandatory-time-in-game requirements.
When you have 0-2... there is very little risk, even if you actively seek trouble. Like, I can't meet the characters I want to meet for two weeks already

I have a single character (ok, sometimes I roll a second naked one to test out some skills and delete it after),
I don't talk to anyone outside the MUD itself and this forum,
still I have a bunch of stuff I need for exploration, that nobody's going to see for (I hope) quite a long time.
That's not fair, but I can't exactly make it fair on my own without opening a charity shop on market square.

Everybody running around with a pair of leaf pendants? Why not?
This will actually even out the balance. OOC teams' advantage will reduce.
The rare PK would become more about skill and less about who was the first one to get to the Honor's Face.

At one time, having knowledge of the MUD was an edge, but I think we’ve moved past that. Now, anyone trying to return here would benefit from knowing which items exist and, more importantly, where they spawn. This is especially true when it comes to their spawn locations, as we all know there are a few "special" individuals in the game who know exactly where all the rare items are and tend to loot them and transfer them between characters.

I think CF(could be wrong here) has a good solution for limited item loads. When you look at mob it shows items on mob and items that -possibly- load on mob, i.e. taken limit items. Something like <wearing on waist: very rare limited belt>. It would be a really cool feature to have in Solace, but that would require a lot of coding I believe.

This is how dwarven berserk works:

You quaff a potion of return.
You resist your spell.

I would dragonpunch through my monitor if that ever happened to me. Thanks for a warning, my monitor owes you a live. Looks like a bug tho, because skill description says about 'harmful spells'.

About 5-10% to resist any spell. Harmful or not.

Elven sword dancing is noticeable. I'd say it is about 30-40% chance for an additional main-hand sword attack.

I think cleave is the only cross-spec skill. Unless you count 'stand off' and 'leg sweep' for staff/spear.
Lunge can be used with swords/spears/polearms, but its not a specialization skill. Works from offhand in case of swords (probably a bug).

- Do flurry/drum/pincer/cross slice still require dual wield?
Yes

- What ground control works with aside of trip/crush?
Just throw, crush, leaping strike. Not with trip or any other skills

I’m familiar with that page, but it’s not what we’re discussing. Thanks, though—it might be useful to others.
