I watched you battling Kobold. If your DEF is 3 times your opponent's STR, you can't be damaged (I believe); you certainly weren't during that fight.

Going to have to do something about that. It's too easy a source of XP - a fight that you can't take damage in, but which you gain XP for with every round. :)


I still only got in 3-4 fights tonight. While I did not get hit often, it was enough that it took the wind out of my sails pretty quickly. The decrease in GP caught me also - I was thinking I had more gold to heal. :)

Just responding to the quote, I looked further at the code, its that by default Defence is divided by 3, before its randomised (an amount between 0 and Defence/3) is subtracted from a number between 1 and Attack. For a normal attack (its Def/7 for a limit break), so Defence is actually inferior to attack. By a fair margin.
 

Whoa, lots of changes in the last day or so. I was feverishly writing my Iron DM entry, I'll check what has changed later today... (mmm, cheaper healing)
 

Red Mage vs the Dragon Take 3 (This Time I WON)

Kal The Red Mage raged on Dragon causing damage 156 leaving Dragon with 344 HP and 322 MP

Dragon used magic on Kal The Red Mage casting Acid Arrow causing damage 239 leaving Kal The Red Mage with 175 HP and 431 MP

Kal The Red Mage used magic on Dragon casting Horrid Wilting causing damage 0 leaving Dragon with 344 HP and 322 MP, this is because Dragon's defence was too good for Kal The Red Mage

Dragon used magic on Kal The Red Mage casting Magic Missile causing damage 63 leaving Kal The Red Mage with 112 HP and 405 MP

(I then used Horrid Wilting yet again and managed to win). I however took 302 points of damage AND I abused the mana bug to use Horrid Wilting twice and I came in fully raged.)
 

Looks like the dragon is more like level 30, then than the 50 I figured it was. Damn, it's hard working out what level a critter is supposed to be!
 

Well I'm level 33 now, and I have some really good equipment (3 Sapphire Enchantments and a Balor's Might). It's also got a decent chance of dealing 400 damage in 1 hit, because of the unbalanced Attack/Defence damage scheme. I think in terms of being able to consistantly beat it 1 time out of 2, you'll be looking around level 45ish.
 


Could you post the PM you got about that? I got one telling me the town guard had caught me and fined me 20 GP. I was just wondering what it looked like from your end.
 

Morrus please, you bloody well know that long threads are the single most important reason that the server has lagging issues so why on earth do you allow this one to run across the 400 post mark which we already established should be maximum. Although a max of 200 posts per thread would probably enhance performance even more.

Start a new thread already!!!
