In terms of hunting, artifact scaling, scaling without artefacts, skill ceiling - How does Infernal and Monk stand? More specifically, DWB Infernal and Strength Monk. Am I going to be stuck prepping people for ages as monk? I heard there was a boost to their hunting as well so that's a plus. I like Infernal due to the fact that I can push two kill methods at the same time, Vivi/Pulp. Plus i've found it to be rather good at hunting with fieldplate/flails.

I understand that infernal has four different specs but dwb infernal kind of interests me the most so I believe that's what i'll be most of the time. I don't plan on getting any artefacts anytime soon - only what I manage to hunt up/win so which would do better without artefacts and scale better with them?

Hunting: DWB
Artifact scaling: Monk, though everything does well with arties
Better unartied: DWB
Skill ceiling: Monk, but DWB should be fine even top tier. Monk just has more things to play around with.

If you can only learn so much from trainers like General Cazin before he is unable to anymore how did the first few people become trans? 

The learning limits on general tutors were put in place in 2009, the game opened in 1997. So there were plenty of people already trans by then.

Cynlael

City tutors (and I think Tyrandiel/Onorol as well?) can also teach everything except class skills to trans now, too. For those you'll have to join a house/use their tutor (if you want to learn from NPCs)

Where's an optimal place for leveling 73-80?
Specifically solo hunting as a serpent with 3600 health.

Moghedu might be doable? Just stay away from Knights and Keepers (especially knights since they will follow you until you leave the floor you are on).

Qurnok village, on repeat, til your brain melts.

Thanks, I'll keep all of these places in mind. Y'all are great.

Yeah I was doing Rhodestrian even way into my dragon run.

Kasmarkin is really good, too, if you know how to raise it or know someone who knows how. Only thing to be careful with it is that it is up for 24 hours then sinks again. You get a warning message if you're in the city so you have time to run out so you don't die. 

Datrius

Ummmm. Did anyone elses Knight specialisation vanish today?

Cynlael

@Makarios enjoys breaking things when classleads happen. Probably just accidentally reset them; likely you can just take it back up again.

Antonius

Both of mine (Paladin and Runewarden) are still there. What specialisation were you?

Datrius

Dual Wield Cutting. Was in dragonform, came out of dragonform, started hunting. Noticed I was only swinging one blade at a time. Checked everything, then I tried dsl/rsl and didn't know any of them, so checked Weaponmastery and it was just gone.

Something I was pondering recently,

While blademaster swords may not be customized in name and resetting, are we allowed to customize them with appearance effects? Such as drawing the sword and attacking with it (a room message for flare only)? I am asuming we must first band the sword before doing so?

Flair. Also god please no. Combat is spammy enough without adding to it, much like those stupid clay masks did when they moved angrily when you spoke. Anyone remember those?

You say, "Yes."
The fiery lips of the mask on your face move silently.

How do I get that little thing in my sig where it says my house and kills and stuff?

Antonius

@Bann Can do BANNERCODE in-game to get the URL/HTML code required to add it to your forum signature.

Bann

I don't seem to be able to get it to work @Antonius

Where it says 'attach image' in the signature settings (a button that looks like a painting) copy/paste that url.

Bann

Thanks @Antonius and @Cynlael!!

Look at that, zero player kills, LET'S GO GET IN

Does intelligence affect Alchemist damage at all? Particularly the bleeding/health damage from inundating choleric and sanguine?

Armali

No.

It affects educe iron. Annnnd that's about it.

Sanguine is 6% max health in bleed per temper.

Choleric is 9% max health damage per temper. Strictly speaking, I'm not sure what damage typing choleric counts as, or if it counts as 'damage' at all. I think it actually has a special interaction with sensitivity and it bypasses resists (including unblockable) entirely.

Reisen

After testing, it doesn't look like it does. I tested with Magnar, who has 16 int to my 14. Both choleric and sanguine inundating did the exact same % damage/bleeding to each other regardless of tempers.

This is correct, choleric operates outside the damage/resists model for ease of balancing. Its interaction with sensitivity is specific to that ability.

Nope, its typeless damage, not magical.

Wish of could blame that on why I suck
