Different Weapons
« on: February 01, 2006, 02:41:48 am »
Is there any difference between a Fire short sword and an Icy or Dark one. If you have more Dark way magic, will a Dark sword do more damage, or what will this do?  Or specific strengths and weaknesses betweeen the different elemental swords?

Well... no answers made. I\'ll try to answer myself, although I don\'t have the complete information.

I\'d say that there\'s no difference, currently, between any of those swords, that is, they\'ve the same slash and speed so the ratio (slash/speed) is the same for all of them.
That said, I agree that, if you\'re trained in a certain way of magic, that should too empower the magic that the sword has, but again, magic isn\'t at all developed in the game mechanics. We should look into the code now, to see if the magic abilitie of the player is taken in account in the ecuation to determine how hard one hits with those \"special\" swords. For the time being, I\'d say that this part isn\'t in the code, that said, keep in mind, for instance that, theoretically, the slider bar stating the amount of power you put in each spell is indeed implemented in the ecuation of the spell power, but since the currently implemented ones are so weak, we\'re unable to really notice the difference (we only know it may be working due to the drop of probability to cast it correctly, not by the extra effect of the spell itself)

So to sum up, unless someone else that has got an in depth look at the code comes and states the countrary, I\'d say that, currently, those swords would serve you equally no matter what your skills in this or that magic way are.

If I remember what it was told the title like dark/fire/icy  have no real effect. It doesn\'t do dark enerdy damage or the like.

I tried this morning (2 min ago) to fight with a fire sword that and a dark sword and they did the same ammount of damage (well the damage were pretty close).

My dark way is at least the double in rank than my red way.

I know just to equip an amethyst encrusted dagger (I bought it from a player) the char needs charisma of a high degree. Being a newpee, my char has no way to test this, but I\'d certainly think that it would do magic damage, beyond sword damage, for those susceptible to that kind of damage. Of course, maybe one needs enough magic to just weild it, or make it work. [I read they are working on making magic working--at the moment.]
