    EDIT: Ignore me. Was looking at the wrong section of my notes.

    Though it should be noted that the the stasis on the container is bag stasis, not box stasis (halved decay time).
    Huh. Neat.

    Yeah, but with non-decaying armour, it's almost exactly the same thing which is why I was asking if it had similar limitations to balance it out. If it's just slowed decay like the bag and I can put anything in there, it's good to know.

    Thanks for checking though, Ahmet.

    I accidentally requested the full site on my phone. How do I change it back?

    Nvm. I found the button.
    I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

    If you have mining legions but don't use them for a while, do they disband or stick around eternally until you get ready to use them?

    They stick around eternally.

    Good to know. Still trying to break into the mining business and learn the ins and outs.

    What the shit is this

    <prompt> p surcoat
    Spun by arachnids of a world uncharted, the sublimity of this ancient surcoat 
    manifests an ethereal grace. The umber silk floats as though a shimmer of dust, 
    sailing through the air in delicate drifts. With each flutter of fabric, the 
    lustrous embroidery rekindles; golden shields gleam along the hem, parrying back 
    and forth to ward and defend.
    It weighs about 2 pounds and 8 ounce(s).
    The surcoat may be empowered 10 more times.
    <prompt> artefact surcoat tradein
    The destiny of that item belongs with another.

    I've been wearing this thing for months now and get curious if it can be traded in, and it tells me it's not mine?

    If I went wild, buying a ton of soldiers types, how can I get the most use from them? 

    I understand that attacking with inexperienced armies doesn't do anything,  so how do I level them up if I can't attack?

    I've had problems with various promotional items in the past not being bound to me, and therefore not being able to trade it in. Can generally just file an ISSUE ME to have it sorted out.

    From Announce #4546:

    A Ledolian Surcoat:
    EMPOWERing the surcoat will grant the wielder +10 armour resistance to all elemental and physical
    damage. The surcoat has 10 charges, each lasting 1 Achaean day/RL hour and can be used once every 3
    Achaean days/RL hours.

    Soldiers don't level up by attacking, they level up by sitting in mines while miners mine.

    Thanks. That's what I needed to know.

  • KyrraKyrra Australia
    Does anyone have a list of artefacts and the corresponding artefact powers? Some of them are a little ambiguous to figure out and it'd be really useful if they were listed together under the artefact help files.

    Pretty sure the thing with the surcoats is that they weren't bound so that they could be sold and combined with other surcoats. Did they ever have a tradein value? I don't recall such a thing.

    They did, I don't remember but you could as long as you didn't use any charges AFAIK.
  • OmorOmor
    @Melaina thanks, but that wasn't my question.
    @Trey @Minifie I couldn't remember either, that's why I tried.

    I have a friend from Path of Exile, WoW, a few other MMOs willing to try Achaea as kind of a side-grinder while he also grinds in his MMOs. We're talking an ex-Maplestory player too, so he has the patience of grinding three days for a level. 

    I did realize though, I'm actually uncertain of the current state of best hunting class with no artefacts.

    I assume Runewarden is still godly, but I've heard some God awful things about SnB hunting doing less damage than post-nerfed hunting damage monk. 

    Anyone able to throw out some tier lists for someone going pure PvE (likely) and not willing to drop anything outside of maybe the no-brainer lessons and bound credits?
       +Faction doesn't matter, just something they're willing to try and attempt to get into because they've seen me on Achaea of late.

    Runewarden, Priest, Paladin still super high up there due to their tankiness/battlerage abilities?
    (I will likely set them up with Keneanung's hunter script for somewhat optimal grinding)


    So, what is the best hunting class?
  • XadenXaden
    If you're going runewarden go 2h or DWC. SnB is tanky, but damage isn't quite up to scratch
         He is a coward who has to bring two friends as backup to jump people hunting.

  • SarathaiSarathai
    Unartied I'd say Runewarden (2h, DWC), and maaaaybe Sylvan.
    - (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place."
    - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
    - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
    - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
    - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."

    Uh, no. Unartied Sylvan is absolutely rubbish for hunting. Absolute total rubbish. They are tanky yes, but the damage output is terrible since they last got nerfed. I actually asked Makarios to take a look at it before Christmas because it was that bad.

    If one was decently artied for hunting, Sylvan would be viable but I'd never suggest it to anyone for unartied grinding.

  • AntoniusAntonius
    Unartied, I'd say Runewarden is the obvious pick. Fullplate provides high resistance to physical damage, which you'd also get as Paladin (and, to a lesser extent, Priest), but the thing that really makes it shine when it comes to tanking is Runelore. Having permanent access to Algiz and Jera means that your resistance to non-physical damage is considerably higher than those other two - and, in my experience, you will really feel the difference in areas that aren't purely physical damage - and your maximum health is higher. You can get runes as Paladin or Priest, but you simply can't expect to have them permanently, or even much of the time at all, depending on what time of day you play at.

    When it comes to specialisation, the thing that really makes sword and shield tanky compared to the other three is a Shield of Absorption (though that can be mitigated a bit by the paragon), and that's not something you'll have if you're unartied. Buckler stats aren't exactly impressive, and I'm pretty sure you'll want that to maximise damage potential. I'd echo the choice of two-handed or dual cutting, though I don't have enough experience with two-handed to say which is better.

    Nerfed that hard? Interesting, I'll update my list. I knew about the nerf, just wasn't sure how far it went - I haven't heard a flood of complaints in Eleusis about it yet.

    Anyone able to quantify the effect of an increase from 14 to 15 dex with no arte dirk?

    Or, even better, anyone able to definitively compare a lvl 1 dirk with lvl 1 dex boots?

    Paging @Sena, cos you seem to know everything :D

    For doublestab, each level of dirk is a 0.2 second reduction, and each point of dexterity is a 0.1 second reduction, so the level one dirk is twice as good (at a lower price) than level one dexterity boots.

    More of a technical question but anyone know how to avoid using the windowed screen when editing a letter while using Mudlet?

    @aquil Paladin Hunting Is silly good with full plate and 2h.  The battle rage abilities are amazing (regeneration is silly w/ multiple mobs, and the soul fire can hit critical strikes, up to six I believe -- I've wsc a slug dead with just soul fire for example) plus hands, revit, and healing rite are amazing.  Now I'm artied a little but I can't see the healing ability + resist to be far off from a rune warden even minus runes.  I haven't tried anything other then 2h, but I find it fast and very very rarely die. Just my 2 cent :)
