Equipment revamp

[Rialon]

Yea, let this shield grant shield spec to the owner  .

[Raider]

wakizashi is actually a japanese sword,  a smaller version of katana.
Was used by dual wielders, helps  parrying. Seems thats one of the reason it was made as a shield

Or it was universal item, could be wielded or held as shield in original Rom. But solace doesnt allow such things.

[Kage]

-this is fine...but the mobs that hold a class like assassin etc...should be bound like another assassin.  If my assassin holds this wakazashi it should act as it does on the drow assassin. I think anyway

[Matthew]

As far as I've seen this is the only item in the game like that, if it made a good shield no one would care i think, but it is what? +5 dam and thats it as a shield? perhaps just make it a weapon again. . .funny thing is im sure it was updated already as before flaming it was flaming and not vampiric or the other way around i forget, but left as a shield.

Regarding Shannon's set of gear, when wearing it a poor mino with no other plus dex has 3 dex, reflex saves are lower even though every piece except the ring has + to reflex saves on them and some small fortitude as well, theres a fair bit of damage, it should be fixed up for sure Shannon is quite strong. Same as the dwarf in asalandor forest and king of thorb, who has only slightly better stuff but is much harder to kill.

Also i had another idea for this stuff, i noticed that theres not really much in the way of kender clothing. I went looking for it to clothe my kender, anything that is a container has terrible stats, there is a vest that is ok i guess, it could be better considering the other items loaded by the same mob, but anyway, there are several higher level kender mobs about and they mostly have 1 thing on them, a hoopak! One wears a belt which isn't anything special. I was thinking some cool pocketed brightly coloured kenderish stuff would be neat. Not all on the same mob though, but some of it should be kender only!

So far, I've found elf/human/mino/draco-only stuff... What about other races? Like they don't exist  on Krynn... Oh, I forgot - found 2 gnome-only rings...

[inkognito]

there are also some dwarven things... rings from highbulp, platemail of pax tharkas
there is one staff for kender (delbin)

[Moon_Face]

I know heretic_only robe and it does not mean that there must be things for other clans.

[Matthew]

We refer to race not clan, your clan doesn't affect your size and shape!

Magic forest eq could be improved,
Vargin something (where trolls are) bone armor is junk,
area a little below Vargin where drows are is full with junk,
near heretick camp there is a small area with dwarfs there eq also could use redo,
hammered eq and dragon scale eq in nereaka almost useless considering how hard it is to get.

[ezus]

sorry... как же вы зае.али нытьем... шмота и так полно.

[Matthew]

Sometimes Google russian to english translator makes me laugh so hard,

sorry... how do you Zae. ali Charlie ... shmota and so full

PS. Lots of the Lava island, ice island etc stuff is quite useless to people who can't get it(alone), and mostly completely useless to those who can.

[Quino]

Whats the interest to play when everyone is equipped with nice gears

[Rialon]

Makes battles more interesting for everyone, not just superbly equipped lot... I think 

[Quino]

Rialon, I mean:
there _is_ need for lots of nice gears when there are lots of players
but there aren't many.

So everyone comes dressed superbly and PK MUD turns out to be a kindergarten.

Не находишь, что елки-пендосы тратят время на скучное времяпровождение по гильдам? Не участвуют в ПК (еще бы - у них есть прикольный заменитель в виде плеер-вс-моб), ныкаются в астрале. Это называется сторерство. В чем интерес

Sorry for russian, "накипело"

[Rialon]

Yea, you are right. But nonetheless, it is nice to enter with a naked hero char and get redressed nicely in a matter of hours, not days  . It's just personal opinion, because i can't play a lot right now and all my stuff usually poofs, when i enter.

[Matthew]

Exactly! It doesn't have to be eliteiwillslaughteryouallwithmylittlefinger stuff.

[Quino]

PK is the fastest way to equip self

[dedraelos]

I'm hoping for a few more weapons. If you have 2 or 3 fighters (or outcast/ranger/knights) with same specialty chosen, then they can easily get all good weapons of one type.

Say you wanted to make ranger who uses flails, but you have 1 ranger in Solamnia who holds 3 limited flails/whips. 1 Ranger and 1 fighter in heretics that both use flails. You want to be a nimble ranger but 9 or more limited flails/whips are taken.

Yes, PK is the best way to get items. Hard to take items from the elite PKers when your wearing wyrmling gear and their clan travels edges/nether/isle frequently.

Same scenario with all weapon types.

[deda]

Bloodied axe of Solamnia is human only but weighs 25 and human max strength is 23?
