Eld said:Anyone have a brief summary of the mechanics of ship crew morale/xp? My understanding is that (neglecting trades/cooking/etc) morale rises or lowers on some regular (roughly hourly) tick, by an amount set by rations and wages, experience increases mainly through sailing around, and increased morale leads to faster experience gain. Is that roughly correct, and does anyone have an idea of the relative importance of wages/rations/food type in morale gain?
Honestly I gave up on experience and I just sail. Need an artefact that gives crew experience like the cabin boy.

Rinzai said:I had a lengthy conversation with Soopay about this and it appears that it's like a yearly thing, where they get a magical amount of experience, and from my understanding sailing or doing actions didn't ever really help this. I would love to have a real answer, but I have sailed a strider around like crazy with almost zero experience gain, which makes me want to (not really) do the crew experience ship trades, the not really because I've heard it has diminishing returns....

I know Serpents can give us something without our noticing. Any other class can?0

1000gc. Only a serpent can give us this? The only person I saw entering the room was an alchemist.0

Take an Occultist without a veil and his target has a veil. Will the occultist be able to fully utilize his doppleganger against his target, or does the veil prevent some of it's usage?

the Occultist will do 'plaugh target' as long as they are in the same local area.0

Is Monk still the class with the lowest barrier of entry into combat? If not, what is?

Runewarden if you have good weapons, Monk as long as you get decent at counting limbs, Priest is ridiculously easy versus a lot of people especially if you get lucky with demons (see Jibraaiyl killing dragons). Druid has a very low entry level but not much room to move forward that I can tell.
If you mean by actual lessons/materials require then probably Monk and Serpent as they can both do decently with monotrans and a bit in other skills.
Take this with a grain of salt though because I'm not a fantastic player by any means.

Does the Flame Fist ability or a fire-infused slash from a Blademaster destroy an icewall? I suppose it would be useless since both attacks require Shin, but I'm just curious.

I've never actually tried using them on an icewall, but I doubt it.

I wouldn't suggest Serpent for monotrans. You won't be able to hypnotise (for goldenseal stacks, hypersomnia, disrupt, confusion, impatience, etc.) And you won't be able to relapse camus. Serpent is also very difficult to get your head around without a great teacher or a lot of time on your part spent practising and practising and understanding the finer mechanics of affliction combat and illusions. Illusions will be absolutely essential if you don't grab a level 2 or level 3 artefact dirk.Monk is good but also very easy to walk over if you're only single trans. Expect to take a lot of damage from a lot of people. It's also a lot more difficult to kill people as a Monk with more max health across the board and without enfeeble you will generally struggle. Still very possible.Knight is generally the best class with the smallest lesson input, but weapon reliance has always been annoying. You don't actually need great weapons, but it definitely helps if you can hit around the 2s mark(Because you'll be faster than most of your opponents attacks which is very handy.)I would vote for Knight, personally.IDEA: Just out of curiosity, do you think a topic where we can discuss just classes, and can give our own more detailed input there would be better than throwing them into Quick Questions topic? I'm going to make it anyway, but just curious.1

Single trans monk mostly means that you will cry out in frustration when fighting mounted people in the arena.You might still cry out in frustration with tritrans, but kai cripple definitely helps, particularly when you don't have the arties that make you powerful enough to be able to kill people after losing your stance from jumpkicking. That being said, some people still manage to be pretty powerful as single trans monks, but it requires a precise setup and patience.0

HELP ARTEFACTS DEFENSIVE said:We do not make quarterstaves that have this feature. We did this exactly once and learned from our mistake. For well over 100 Achaean years it has not been possible to purchase a quarterstaff with the features of a Shield of Absorption.
Anyone know the story behind this?0 -
Imagine, if you will, a Sylvan with a shield of absorption. And then weep.0

Do people actually use the lesser known weapons in Achaean combat? Bardiches, morning stars, and so on?

After playing dark souls for a bit, I'd love to see a sort of stat progression for weapons, like strength affecting a bardiche/flail/axe a lot more than it does a rapier, but damage seems to be a sort of flat percentage gain on weapons. I might be wrong.
Basically, the game has ben around so long it's developed a sort of metagame where specific weapon types are usually used for specific purposes. That's why most knights simply use rapiers, (even though the thought of a knight dual wielding rapiers is silly in my head) because venoms and damage per second wins out, especially with the ability to stack sensitivity at least once.
Some shaman like Chima were known for using Bardiche, but only in blackout or recklessness, and heavily runed. A few classes do have the ability to utilize certain weapons, but the game still lends towards the most friendly metagame.
Goryllin was known for using his Axe and Broadsword as a damage knight, but with the changes to stats that seems out the door as well.
Also, I'm not a combat guru. Personal opinions here, and just what I see. I may be wrong.
