Class order and how it can affect you

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 18:01:09 +0000

This isn’t meant to be a guide on what order you should pick, but more of a post on how the order of classes can affect your character’s stats. The caps are based on being 9x40 (max level) and should be used to plan out your character. As you’re leveling the caps for some things will be lower and will increase every time you gain a level 40.

Warrior

This will influence your weapon damage cap, which applies a bonus to your autoattack. 1 weapon damage = 1 point of damage done, does not work with some weapons equipped such as daggers. You will also get more hps per level if this is higher up in your order, but I don’t know what values that would be.

1: 25 weapon damage

2: 23 weapon damage

3: 21 weapon damage

4: 19 weapon damage

5: 15 weapon damage

6: 13 weapon damage

Thief

This will influence your stab damage cap, and I believe thief prime gets some extra damage on their backstab. Prime thieves will also have circle damage cap, while anything outside of thief prime will just be 0.

1: 67 stab damage, 75 circle damage

8: 32 stab damage

Monk

This will affect your hand damage and damage reduction caps. Monk prime also seems to have a bonus modifier for strike damage.

1: 29 damage reduction, 33 hand damage

2: 25 damage reduction

5: 17 damage reduction

6: 15 damage reduction, 23 hand damage

7: 13 damage reduction

8: 11 damage reduction

Bard

This should affect your charisma cap, but I don’t think anyone outside of bard prime would make use of charisma on a normal basis.

1: 28 charisma

6: 16 charisma

7: 14 charisma

Mage

This will affect your saves and spell bonus caps.

1: -31 saves

2: -25 saves

3: -23 saves, 92 spell bonus

Cleric

This will affect your heal bonus cap. Also class order reflects what you can summon with supplication, which won’t be listed here since it’s clear in the help files on what class order does with that spell.

4: 77 heal bonus

5: 67 heal bonus

Druid

I don’t think druid has any specific caps tied to it, but they tend to get more mana the higher in your class order and there’s some sort of bonus mana regen that is applied to prime and secondary. The exact value of the regen isn’t known. Druid class order also affects what forms you can shift into, but the help file in game is clear on this.

Necromancer

This will affect your undead control cap. It also affects what creatures you can summon, but the help files in game are clear on this. Generally prime/secondary can get swordwraiths, 4th can get phantoms, and beyond that the pets would be too weak to be useful at high levels.

1: 27 undead control

4: 19 undead control

8: 11 undead control

I’ll fill this in as I get more data from players and my other characters, hope this helps on making the choice on where you want to place something. For anyone wanting to contribute for this you can view the values using msdp at msdp.CHARACTER_STATISTICS.BONUSES. If you can provide the value listed under CAP and your class order I can fill this out more.

Calculating Damage

Wed, 19 Apr 2017 09:56:13 +0000

I wonder if anyone can give guidance about the amount of damage we inflict?

For a weapon, e.g. 2D4 +2 +1, I understand the damage for the weapon could range from 2+1 to 8+1.

If weapon damage eq is worn then that figure is added to the rolled weapon damage.

Kick dam, stab dam, circle dam, hand dam - some items of eq have these attributes with figures as high as 5-12. I assume these are modifiers which affect the overall damage rather than add to it. How do these affect the damage inflicted?

For Hermoon, these are the clan recall aliases for Lemurs

{SS2AH} –> {krr;enter silver}

{SS2BH} –> {krr;enter golden}

{SS2IS} –> {krr;enter crimson}

S.S. is the safe ones, and the colored portals are right there.

this is if you krr from the Well of Settlestone, (or anywhere on SS)

{AH2BH} –> {krr;west;en mirror;en bh}

{AH2IS} –> {krr;west;en mirror;en island}

{AH2SS} –> {krr;west;en mirror;en ss}

A.H. is the one with the imp. this is if you krr from Wide Gate (or anywhere on AH)

krr on BH takes you to dragon mountain. (technically draconian Lair but if you open secret here you can go up to the Center of the Mountain)

krr on Lyme takes you to the Dank Air Bubble where you can Beg Mind to create a gate from Seamus (the innkeeper) to Poseidon’s realm.

Perfect storm

Sat, 21 May 2016 06:46:25 +0000

2 days ago there was a power outage in my home.

I was editing some triggers in my MUSH client and about to save the changes.

I pressed Ctrl+S to save, power went off. Then, after it restored, the client could not load world file (settings, all triggers, aliases, timers, everything).

Looking in world file itself (XML format) shows its completely empty, but still has correct size (661 kb, its normal).

But is empty: FAR manager viewer (F3) shows nothing, Notepad++ displays “NUL” characters.

I tried chkdsk, several undelete software - nothing helped.

Last backup dated Feb 14, 2014 - did it manually; looking inside shows its about for little Ozzy to leave VK.

So I guess the power went off precisely in exact millisecond in between world file was opened for writing and actually wrote from memory to disk. Murphy’s Law worked out in best way possible.

Any hints on how to restore the content?

“HOUSE UPGRADE”

Runs to the guilds from all the recall points

Sun, 20 Mar 2016 20:26:36 +0000

If you’re a budding newbie eager to level the cheapest level(s) every time the group stops (recommended), here are runs to the guilds from all of the recall points.

step 1) ask the leader if you can recall

step 2) recite recall or cast word of recall (Cleric 11th)

step 3) execute one of these aliases

step 4) type “level gain”

step 4a) if you’re not done and need to level a different class, go back to the recall point

step 4b) repeat steps 3-4

step 5) ask for a summon back to the group

These are all done using wintin.NET

#alias {w2warrior} {4e3ne2n}

#alias {w2thief} {6e2n3e}

#alias {w2mage} {e2n2w}

#alias {w2cleric} {e5n2e}

#alias {w2bard} {11e3s3d2e}

#alias {w2monk} {4wsw3s3ws3d2w}

#alias {w2druid} {6wu;open door;nws2ds}

#alias {w2necro} {4ed3w2s}

#alias {well2warrior} {wwnnwn}

#alias {well2thief} {eennen}

#alias {well2mage} {eesseu}

#alias {well2cleric} {2w2swu}

#alias {well2bard} {8sw4s}

#alias {well2necro} {9en4e4s;open doors;se5sw2s}

#alias {well2druid} {6n3es;ent mushroom;eueue}

#alias {well2monk} {8s6w3s2e}

#alias {wide2bard} {3n2en3en;open door;wn2e}

#alias {wide2monk} {3ne2ne;op door;2e}

#alias {wide2druid} {n4en2ene}

#alias {wide2necro} {3n2en2ese;open door;eu}

The classic four guilds are really close to the recall point on AH

warrior: hunt Ress

cleric: hunt Nadya

mage: hunt Tanalis

thief: hunt Five

“nohunt” turns off a hunt process.

VK are from shelda not the recall point

#alias {shelda2warrior} {eses}

#alias {shelda2thief} {es2es}

#alias {shelda2mage} {e4nen}

#alias {shelda2cleric} {e4n2en}

#alias {shelda2monk} {e4n5e2s}

#alias {shelda2bard} {e4n4ene}

#alias {shelda2druid} {e3n2wnw}

#alias {shelda2necro} {e3n2wse;op doors e;e}

Lyme

#alias {magnolia2warriorguild} {enes3enes}

#alias {magnolia2thiefguild} {enennneddnn}

#alias {magnolia2clerguild} {enennnwws}

#alias {magnolia2mageguild} {enen2e}

Remember, while standing at the bard, necro, druid, monk guild masters you can “say recall” to recall.

This was added because these newer guilds are generally outside the towns.

BONUS SECTION : runs to the bank

#alias {w2bank} {4e3n2en}

#alias {well2bank} {2wse}

#alias {wide2bank} {n5es;op gate s;sws}

#alias {magnolia2bank} {ene3neddsenn}

Enjoy.

Aggro immunity at level 15

Is it level 14 or 15, or total levels now? Or is it broken?

Or is it because of my alignment, why animals conserned about it anyway?
