Post by: master2010 on February 20, 2005, 10:14:27 pm: What about strength?
Title:
Post by: Draklar on February 20, 2005, 10:18:21 pm: Strength isn\'t exactly a skill... but yes, you can train all stats...
Title: Armour grades
Post by: Tharizdun on February 21, 2005, 12:56:23 am: without armour how can the light armour skill work?

I\'m guessing light armour will be cloth, hide and leather-type armours, which includes being hit while essentially unarmoured, as is the case in game now. Notice how your Light Armour skill is exercised by being hit after you have done the required training?

Medium will likely be chain, scale and other metallic armour that is jointed and flexible, but restrains movement and offers more protection than light armour.

Heavy armour will be plate, full plate, banded mail, heavy breastplates and similar.

With a number of different shields already available in-game, I hope shield handling is one of the next skills to be implemented.

There is also a Brown Way glyph available in game, I assume this means the Brown Way skill is also working.

Post by: munchmo on February 21, 2005, 05:43:12 pm: Now, do all the basic stats influence something? I hear mana is based on a formula of 3 of the stats, and HP is influenced by the other 3, but when I increased in STR it didn\'t affect my HP at all, does it actually do anything yet, or am I missing something?
Title:
Post by: Mordaan on February 21, 2005, 09:53:13 pm: I inscreased my strength and *did* notice HP going up. Its not one-to-one though. Maybe you have to raise strength up a few points to see an HP.

On a related note, I blew 10K tria on raising my strength 16 points but haven\'t really noticed my damage go up. ?(

Post by: Tarachnul on February 23, 2005, 12:14:39 am: i beleive you have to train in the body development skill to raise your hp(and i dont THINK that this is implemented yet)

No, and I think I\'ve been killed about three times since I trained up. Has this skill been disabled, or was I premature in discarding my shield?

Addendum: I see the problem now. To practice Light Armour, you have to use Defensive or Defensive-Attack modes, and you apparently have to take several hits to get a practice point. I was mainly cracking clackers in the dungeons, using Agressive mode just to save time :rolleyes:

Post by: munchmo on February 23, 2005, 06:11:22 am: light armor skill works for me. Also, now that they\'ve implemented the weight limit on items, increasing STR increases your weight carry ability by 1.5 per level. After increasing my STR by 3 levels I noticed I got 1 point of HP.

Maybe you attacked at a bloody or aggressive stance. light armor only works for me at a more defending stance. Also stronger monsters still hit you as easy as they used to at least if your skill isn\'t that high yet.
Title:
Post by: munchmo on February 25, 2005, 01:44:25 am: I\'ve gotten up to about 18 in light armor now, and there are still monsters that will rip through me, but most things in the sewer won\'t touch me even in a bloody stance. The more you train your light armor up, the less you\'ll get hit.

Post by: LigH on September 08, 2005, 03:25:02 pm: About \"Light armor\":

Buy some leather outfit - e.g. here:

- Boralis Voladrand (Hydlaa, uptown, above the gate to the woods) has 5 kinds;
- Toda Ombretis (Ojaveda, market, right side) has 2 kinds.

These leather pieces, when worn, will help raising the chance of blocking an attack.

Furthermore:

There are 6 glyphs available, and trainers for at least the 4 ways I know from the begining; why shall other ways not work?

Post by: Eolius on September 08, 2005, 04:09:43 pm: The armour skill works like this: if the attacker has a lower attack level than your armour levell then you will block some of his hits, if you have a much higher armour level than his attack you will block every hit. For example at lvl 50 LA you will be imprevious to the attack of some rougues, wild tefusangs and everything that hits lower than those. Btw, try Boralis, he sells LA so the question \"without armour how can the light armour skill work?\" comes from lack of exploring...
Title:
Post by: zabeal on September 08, 2005, 05:08:32 pm: No Eolius, that question comes from an age before armor was for sale :) I remember it well, and arguing then that armor does have an effect.

As for skill, daggers + knives can now be trained. there are a few others waiting for the right items to be available, but we will see when they become really available.
Title: Red way works
Post by: Kaithro on September 09, 2005, 06:29:29 pm: I was casting flame burst from the Red Way today, it works fine.
