I need some help with playing one of my characters.
« on: September 20, 2012, 07:57:36 pm »
Hello everyone!

I play a wizard character who sells the loot kra gets from kras training against powerful foes in order to obtain tria for kras training.

Unfortunately I can't play kra properly since I myself don't know the various buffs that the weapons get, and kras stats are low so many of these kra can't wield to experience it kraself.

It is part of my character's story that kra can identify to some degree magical items and kra would be able to tell sometimes the buffs of the weapons but being unable to tell myself it makes it hard for me to have kra sell them as kra is often asked what is special about the weapons.

Is there some list I could consult and use to help myself with this? I know it would be a spoiler so if so simply send it to me via a PM or something of the sort and I'll then post again saying I have received my answer and the topic can be closed/erased.

Thanks for the help!

P.s. if you wish to reach me In game my character's name is Krrark

In case you equip a magical items it's effect will be displayed on the active effects tab which you can find by clicking the spellbook icon.You can also equip the magical item and then check your skills/stats for changes to understand it's effect.

If you take a look in the museum in east hydlaa there are some somewhat dated books which detail buffs. New stuff has been added since they were produced so I doubt they are complete and may even contain unavailable items. The museum is beside the miner who used to be a diaboli, I believe, in the lower region.

The game has an element of mystery/discovery to it. If it was me, I would make kra only partially knowledgeable about the effects of these items - leaving a little room for surprise. This also gives kra room for growth over time.

As a rule of thumb, lower delay makes a weapon hit more times per second. This has great effect on damage over a period of time. Other modifiers are pretty obvious..

Its always been hard to tell how good an item is given its name. Some are duds, others give buffs or debuffs. Debuffs can be desirable too for training.

You could also have kra ask others what they know about various items... their history perhaps, or about their experience with them. You may get some misinformation or bullshit, but that's ok too. Not knowing and misunderstanding are a part of life and life's journey.

Thanks about the library book, I'll give it a look.

As far as mystery goes I planned on my character learning slowly and not knowing everything, I can easily split what I know and what kra knows.

Also I can't always equip the items since my stats are low

on a few occasions i've had a more skilled character assess my character's looted weapons. he equipped them, described their effects, advised my character about keeping/selling them and made bids for the weapons, all ICly. of course, part of the fun is finding yourself an honest arms dealer. ;)
