Enchanted Rye Bread

·2486 words·12 mins

So, I go to do some xp runs today…

No rye bread…

Who removed? Why… You’ve just cut my solo xp runs in half… seriously this is not good. I’m getting sick of this… every time players find ways to get +1, an imm goes chop chop with the scissors. Not happy.

Now I’m forced to group even more… when there are like only 5-10 players ever on. It just really sucks… I’m Not happy.

You can expect things to be changed when they’re bugged to allow some crazy overpower.

Although I don’t see why it was removed instead of just made more expensive again.

I’ve been pacing the floor quite angry, so I thought I’d come back and rant a little more… I like to joke around, and I don’t take things too seriously, but I’m not in the mood for that atm, maybe tomorrow…

I haven’t been around all that long at sloth… but I’ve been around long enough to notice that when things change around here, it always seems like a knee jerk reaction. Instead of gentle refocusing or redefining, it’s just a cutting, a kick in the guts. I got two monks in the wardrobe that can barely muster +10 handdam because of the nerfs in the past. So I make a druid…

I have 623 mana to play with each xp run.

Sanct - 70

Haste - 60 (Normally I mem)

Wraithform - 60

Shift Mana every 3 rounds - 20

Shift Cost 40

623 - 70 - 60 - 60 - 40 = 393mana left…

Everything on lyme, pretty much hits like a truck, so it’s kill quick or be killed… so lets say I breath fire once per round at - 30.

393 - (10 x 30) - (4x20 Round Mana) = END RUN

Each bleed I have to do would be -1 round.

I have 10 flaming rounds to make xp! But when the rye’s were in, I could heal more and blast less, so my runs were longer.

I have 662hp at less -8… no! I’m not doing mage style!

I’ve spent 696 hours of my life working towards an end goal, that’s been kicked out from underneath my feet! 1 flippin’ level from avatar.

So if rye’s were being abused, why not change them slighty? Make them for lower level players, up the cost fractionally, introduce a generous but workable cap. But no, you crank out the chainsaw to cut up a chocolate cake!

Whats next, removing the regen vault half the lymers use even though it’s someone elses? or is that tomorrow?

I’m seriously thinking about quiting sloth, which I have really enjoyed up to this point, maybe I might look to become a builder… you know what they say…

If you can’t beat them, join them.

I still really like sloth, it’s the best game I ever played, and hence I am passionate about these small issues that just ruin it for me. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be more likable.. I don’t have autolycos bank account to buy ryes at a more expensive price, I don’t have shyla’s drachma, and I don’t have taliesins eq. The one peg leg of a rye I stood on, just got kicked out from underneath me… :evil:

Which vault is this?

The cost of rye bread somehow got changed to a much lower price than originally. The cost has been fixed and the item will be rezoned today.

Also, several crash bugs and other ingame bugs such have been fixed recently-thank you Jake and others:-)

Splork

Hello everyone btw!

First off, Damn it’s Splork!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second…Don’t feel so bad Jezer.. in the short time you’ve been here you have managed to enlighten me on several issues. Enchanted rye bread?

Hell, I never even heard of it..makes me wonder what else is available. Also,

makes me wonder what other foods are out there. I found one of Kong’s bananas but it didn’t quite pan out like I had hoped.

Erm…

:twisted:

Sanct - 70

Haste - 60 (Normally I mem)

Wraithform - 60

Shift Mana every 3 rounds - 20

Shift Cost 40[/quote:3gz398da]

  1. level up faster, at 1st avatar you get Aegis (longer lasts and less mana) or Flesh Golem (even better)

  2. dont use Haste at all, not much addition in power per mana_cost

  3. you should have enough HPs to survive fights without Wraithform

  4. dont forget that shift can be unsuccessful (more mana wasted) and rapid shift can be unsuccessful too (even more mana wasted due to shift_lag)

Thanks Splork, I’ll gonna switch and see if it’s there… I hope some of those fixed bugs you mentioned were shift ones!

If it’s 200 coins = relief.

If it’s 2000 coins = grimace.

If it’s 5000+ coins = time to dump xp and find some new ingame fun.

Tap! You flatter me…

  1. dont use Haste at all, not much addition in power per mana_cost[/quote:2qgz4zxn]

WTF? haste rocks!

friggin pansyass, I’d tell you to fight like a man…

BUT YOU CANT!!!! :twisted:

The short absence of the rye bread was due to an economic condition of the baker needing to bake more valentine’s day cakes and cookies…. look for rye bread to make a reappearance.

btw quit your bitching, I ate my first rye bread 2 days ago and it was nice, but plenty of people can xp w/o it. I made 5x40 in a monk AFTER the eq nerf w/ no drach handam and no rye bread , normally you don’t get ac and handam at the same time, pick one and go w/ it.

and 2nd haste rocks.

You can buy:

11000 a potion of healing

5000 a potion of cure critical

3000 a potion of greater strength

1500 a potion of lesser refresh

5000 a small vial of a colorless liquid

  • means you need more levels to use it.

! means you are not strong enough to use it.

& means you have studied this spellbook or manual to its max.

Query may also be of use to you, please refer to help query.


If it costs you too much to run in druid form, you should really think of other ways to cut it, e.g mage way.

If it costs you too much coins to buy these items, you should really think of other ways to cut it, e.g heavy elemental school, hellwell runs

If it costs you above everything else, you should really think other ways to cut it, forge some healing potions, cries of a thousand souls

The item you speak of, enchanted rye bread, initially cost 15000 coins per piece. It wasn’t of great value, until “gorge” command came in, and so did the “puke” command. You can thank Judge for that.

There are always other ways to bend things around and go beyond Apprentice. You obviously aren’t thinking in a wider scale. You sure have expectations, you also need to know your limits.

And don’t quit sloth, I always help ones hardworking and people who earn it, like you have. You can ask Sneaky and a few other people.

Peace and best regards,

Chi

SO UMM..WHERE DO WE BUY THIS BREAD?

x4 brutal massacres + 1.5 breathe_fire vs x5 brutal massacre +1.5 breathe_fire

do you see any noticable increase in pwnage? i dont[/quote:3ppiyl36]

that is really one of the dumbest things I’ve heard you say.

Doesnt show you a diff cause you’re a weakass and yes I [b:3ppiyl36]DO[/b:3ppiyl36] see a big difference.

X5 attacks are better because:

Mob dies faster, more fight xp per round,

quicker kill reduces curing and lengthens the run,

plus occasionally reduces the chance of me dieing.

You viciously massacre Shuggoth Lord with your pierce.

You are brutally massacred by Shuggoth Lord’s hit.

Shuggoth Lord misses you with its pierce.

You are brutally massacred by Shuggoth Lord’s pierce.

You are viciously massacred by Shuggoth Lord’s crush.

This is Yasik we are talking about…

:roll:

[quote:3h07tejz]How can you not think x5 > x4?[/quote:3h07tejz]

You only not think this when you don’t know how the game is played, apparently he doesn’t kill many mobs.

Yasix gossips ‘Why do mobs keep killing me, I have less damage and less attacks, but I can breathe fire!’ :shock:

That was some funny shit I’ve read from Tap and Auto. Those two getting

along?!?

Lets say ur one hit = 30 damage.

4x attack = 120 damage

5x attack = 150 damage

Haste last how long? Lets say enough to get in about 50 rounds of hits.

That is additional 1500 damage from a spell … Weee

Plus I can understand if you have a +2hit, then yes … Haste isn’t going to

help much because u can’t hit jackshit anyways. However as a shifted

dragon, you get like +20 hit or something. Haste ROCKS!

I use Haste with my thief and it shaves a good min or so on chop mobs.

indeed…

but this is like trying to teach algebra to a rock..

2 months later, its still fuckin clueless. :roll:

I would say teaching algebra is too much. 1 + 1 = 2

The proper fix for this would be to get rid of the ridiculous puke command in addition to price change.

Jezer you need to seriously get a life if you’re pacing the floor of your cage because someone fixed your favorite exploit. You should probably consult your doctor about these mood swings btw.

:D

I figured the price may have been bugged, I had no idea it was 15k. I figured it was probably more 200 and some zero’s got lopped off in some editing. But from 15k to 2 gold coins, just shows who ever changed it, knew what they were doing, and had the power to do it.

I may play less now, that runs take twice as long, but maybe that’s a good thing. Having the ryes seemed to make me serious about getting xp quickly, now all that tension has just totally left me… I even vacuumed my room this morning… :shock: yes, off to see the doctor…

I think I’m going to cry…. or maybe laugh at you for being a retard.

Take a step at a time Apprentice, i’ll be happy to give you gold for your hard solo runs. Or 2 man works.

Bomb

Why do you try so hard to be unlikeable Autolycos?

You remind me of that movie called “the missing.”

In that move an Indian guy talks about having two dogs inside, a good one and a bad one, and they fight for domination of each other. I’ll remember you for being a funny guy who always trying to be try hard bad… Not sure you’ll like that… but that’s why I win in the end!

I kill 4 mobs with Haste or without it and i wont hit 5th anyway because i low on mana so i just goto sleep and trolling in another window until full. No big difference this Haste makes for my runs, so i just dont use it. 60 mana i more preferable than +1 attack because i use mana to kill, not attacks.

Laugh at Yasik, as we all may…

I understand what he is saying here… and unlike a lot of you, he has an avatar druid… so he just might know better…

If your runs are short and intense, it’s better to have mana on hand for blasting than it is an extra attack.

[img:zt5068zz]http://yasik.kiev.ua/Brains_Autolycos.jpg[/img:zt5068zz]

Autolycos is actually quite smart… just ill mannered.

And Yasik you’ve often attacked some of the things others have said, and you’ve just been flat out right wrong, or totally misunderstood what people have been saying. Comparing brain sizes probably doesn’t shine on you too good. :D

Autolycos is like that crotchety old uncle that farts at Thanksgiving dinner after he asks your 3 year old cousin to pull his finger. Yasik is pretty much the stain that gets left behind.

Hrm…..that extra attack for several rounds comes in handy when your all mana’d out, especially in groups.

Oh, where the heck can bread be bought?

The thread is ruined. Mission complete. :twisted:

At the risk of getting that oh so quaint brain chart reposted, I’d venture to say haste is more important to an “avatar druid” than most casters. +1 attack is a decent amount of damage per round for shift forms.

Assuming of course that if a character is being defined by their druid class, they’re not actually killing mobs with blasting or pets from a class further down their classo.

so…

in essence…

what you are saying is…

Yasik is a f*cktard…

Wow, that’s some slick post-condensation Auto :)
