 [log]<ABSENT on waist: very rare limited belt>[/log]

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:
[log]
You quaff a potion of return.
You resist your spell.
[/log]

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'.

Dwarven set from Thorbardin is still bad.

Is there a reason why this set is so bad?

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

Dwarven set from Thorbardin is still bad.

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.

Got it. I lost the entire item collection that I had built before, and I kind of forgot where everything spawns.

Same problem. I used to play like 10 or 15 years ago and had good knowledge of items and preps in general. But now I cant even figure out where to get anything better than items from Glade of Beginners. Back in days I knew a lot of unlimited items to gear up 15-25 level char to fit for clan applications. It really hurts to explore and upgrade your stuff without knowledge and mobs in most areas will likely just kill you outright.

On the other hand, good knowledge is what you makes better(read stronger) than other people you want to encounter in pvp. PK(does it exists anymore?) is going to be very different if everyone has same equipment and preps.

Removing limits on equipment is a great idea. But it would require to replace load places of many powerful items which are quite easy to obtain. Everyone running around with a pair of leaf pendants would be silly. But again, that would require a lot of time investment from our only imm, thus I hardly see it happening.

Also, it would be really great to have an identify items in shops(something like appraise). I know fighterlikes have lore, but it just sucks in most of cases.

While we are discussing useless racial feats, did anyone try elven sword dancing? Is it something worth talking about or same old 'silent and not significant'?

Also got few questions about fighters in general.
1. Which fighter skills work 'cross weapon', i.e. work with weapons outside of specialization they come from. For example, I know cleave(which is axe spec) works with swords. Does reposte work with anything but swords? Does restrike work with anything but daggers?

2. Do flurry/drum/pincer/cross slice still require dual wield?

3. What ground control works with aside of trip/crush? Does it work with shield bash for example?

After reading what Siri wrote, I’ve concluded that there’s nothing significantly new with the dwarves—just a smokescreen, really. 

On the topic of dwarves, has anyone looked into the dwarf-only equipment from the Thorbardin king? Is it still as useless as before?

Argh, silent and not so massive. Lets see if it is at least noticable at 25 or so. I mainly wonder how it 'turns on': either you have to hit some low hp condition or it just scales with hp lost. Also, I hope 'not so massive' doesn't mean non-existant

Any idea what berserk does? I guess it has silent benefit too, probably 'not so massive' aswell
