Quick Questions

Zeon

Probably because magi staffs and quarterstaffs (for a long time) had no way of upgrading to something customizable. There are artie maces that can be customized.

Kaden

Out of curiosity, how long does a summoned mace last?

Antonius

I imagine there's something unique about the way priest maces and apostate daeggers are coded that makes customising them unfeasible. Magi staff is just a regular created item, not sure if that's the case with the spirituality mace.

Until the priest logs out - it has to be re-summoned every time you log back in.

I imagine Antonius is correct though - the way it currently works, it sounds like coding would be a pain in the ass to summon a custom weapon, just as it would be to summon angel (holy mother you have no idea how much I'd love to custom my angel ).

Artefact maces are different since you don't summon them - they sit around like normal weapons do.

Tesha

Well, do Magi staves typically sit around after you log out? I always figured if they had to be summoned, they were temporary.

Chryenth

Staves decay in a few months, IIRC.

They stay around if you log out.

Azor

Also, you can cast a staff and then give it to another mage, and that other mage can use it, provided they also have the skill. You can also create multiple staffs and have them all in your inv (or wield one in each hand). I don't think any of this is possible with priest's maces.

Melodie

Mmm. Dual-wielding maces as a priest.

Yes, please.

Chryenth

I cannot imagine what that would do to your shoulders.

Any "must haves" from the outgoing SoW collection?  And why so?

portable stove. cooking on the go (if you're a cook) is Ah-mazing. The soap is nice for convenience if you hunt stinky things often.

@Sylvance Forums OP?

Um, to the person who asked about embedding says in emotes - nope.  However, you can do the reverse (and usually blow the mind of people around you, because it'll color the whole thing like a say. First time I saw it was Blujixapug, and I still haven't recovered.)

That's a neat trick! Pity though that it's a bit limited, since it will always require a spoken part at the start and another one at the end. There's also the trouble of the non-emote colour, and the fact that it will create slightly weird results when it clashes with certain mechanics (e.g. a serpent eavesdropping, words being heard through a wormhole, a monk using MIND LISTEN, etc.). But I still may give it a try at some point.

Anyone have reasonably comprehensive numbers for base endurance and willpower regen, and how they're affected by sleeping/meditating, fitness/philosophy, fully fit/master contemplator, ring of endurance/circlet of will, regen rooms, dreamcatchers, and anything else I'm not thinking of?

Iocun

Not exactly sure on all details, but AFAIK:

Natural willpower recovery at inept philosophy: 6 wp every 4 seconds. At trans philosophy: 12 wp every 4 seconds.

Circlet of Will doubles the rate.

Megalith adds 6 wp recovery every 10 seconds.

Natural endurance recovery at inept fitness: 10 end every 4 seconds. At trans fitness: 20 end every 4 seconds.

Ring of endurance doubles the rate.

Not sure about the rest. I think Sena posted some of the things at some point.

Sena

I have specific numbers for most things, just missing regen rooms and some class regeneration abilities. Unfortunately, I won't have access to my notes until tomorrow (I need to start keeping copies of that stuff on my phone).

What I do remember though, aside from what Iocun posted: The traits increase natural regeneration by 10%, rounded down. Applies after other bonuses I think, at least after fitness/philosophy. Regen while sleeping/meditating scales with max end/will. Fitness/philosophy, below trans, add a chance for each regeneration tick to be doubled. I think it's based on lessons spent, not skill rank, so halfway to trans would give a 50% chance of double regen.

Kyrra

@Sena, my Ashtan house has a room with full regens if you ever want to test.

Sena

Endurance regenerates at a rate of 10 endurance every 4 seconds at inept fitness. Sleeping regenerates endurance at a rate of 20 every 5 seconds, as well as increasing natural regen to 10+MaxEndurance/750.

Willpower regenerates at a rate of 6 willpower every 4 seconds at inept philosophy. Meditation regenerates willpower at a rate of 8 every 8 seconds, as well as increasing natural regen to 6+MaxWillpower/600.

Dreamcatcher increases natural endurance regen by 20%, rounded down, while sleeping.

Grove rain restores 1% of max endurance and willpower every 10 seconds, lasts 10 minutes.

I'm missing a lot more than I thought. Not sure on astronomy/harmony regen, priest blessings, racial/transmog regen, regen rooms, campfire, rest in sloth morph, or basking (I was sure I had that one).

Also, ring of endurance and circlet of will don't stack multiplicatively with fitness/philosophy (they used to, but were changed at some point). With the miniskill and artefact, you have 3x natural regen, not 4x.

It's a good start, anyway. I'm trying to reconcile some of it with some numbers I'm seeing. With 18570 max end, with fully fit, I see a 37 per 4 second tick and a 20 per 5 second tick, consistent with your numbers (10+18750/750 = 34.76, 34*1.1=37.4). With a dreamcatcher, that becomes 41 per 4 seconds, which I'm having trouble turning into 20% of anything. 

Sena

Hmm. 41/4s could possibly be the dreamcatcher's 20% replacing fully fit entirely instead of stacking with it. Or I could be wrong about what dreamcatcher does. I'm looking through my logs now to get some actual numbers.

Sena

With 9650 max endurance, regen is 24/4s with fully fit, 28/4s with fully fit and dreamcatcher. So it could just be +4. I could only find that one data point though, and it seems dreamcatchers aren't sold anywhere, so I'm still not sure.

Jonners

I know Satyr regen is pretty slick. I don't have any numbers but even if I try I can't get Endurance to drain (even with Meta Reflexes up). I have an artie Ox, Trans Fit, and and Endurance Ring too.

Now if only I could get Willpower to do that too with Meta Reflexes..

+4 per 4 second tick, before the adjustment for fitness, seems consistent with what I can check. With 15880 max and fully fit, I go from 34 without dreamcatcher to 38 with; with 34905 max and trans fitness (no trait), from 112 to 120; and with 27180 max and trans fitness, no trait, from 92 to 100.

Q: Do Achaeans know that Achaea is round?

Chryenth

1) We could probably work it out because ships.

2) We can see it from the moon. (ty Ourania.)

Round as in a circle, or round as in a sphere? All things being planary, I'm of plenary certainty that we reside on a disc.
