Ere said: I subscribed today and was happy to return to my old characters. I've been away about 13 years. Checking my bank, I have not one coin of gold on any character, though I had millions when I played. Before I make myself crazy, tell me…

Grace said: Pawain, do you know if one can also get the pages the spawn drops just by healing others? My bard running the provoke songs (healing) got pages.

Gargoyles have the advantage of mounted speed with a 5 slot pet, which is offset by never being able to mount a pet. That is balanced. Making an ethy a zero slot mount has no balance to it.

Gwen said: Merus said: You’re presuming it can be both finding the sweet spot and killing lots, were I think both is exactly the plan. The roof takes me about an hour and yields about 125 drops.... but even if that was 1000 d…

Gwen said: Merus said: Yes, clean items are possible, but I’m still convinced there is a strategy to improving the odds. Very unlikely to get a clean, overcapped 2 property ring from the roof or an ettin. How long it take…

Seth said: It seems possible to get clean item from almost any monsters, but it just takes time and you will need to sieve through those bags. I am not sure if doing like 3 - 4 hours or even 8 hours straight will guarantee a drop. Yesterday…

Seems pretty darn useless if you ask me. I don’t really see any PvP or PvM mage setup making use of it.

keven2002 said: @ Merus - Sorry I can't give you the exact answer of what to kill with what luck; I still haven't figured that out myself but you are not crazy. There are absolutely "loot tables" in place and depending on where that mob is pl…

Gwen said: @ Merus , you cannot get 1000 luck from Honor killing ettins. Or you kill them with some really low- damage samurai? My opinion abuout overcapped ones - you can get them everywhere. Even from a mongbat. This week i got SSI 10 MR3…

ForeverFun said: You may need to play with the amount of luck you're running. There is a "sweet spot" related to what you're looking for. Too much luck isn't always a good thing, and luck can increase the number of properties, and overall i…

Seth said: You may check this out:https://community.stratics.com/threads/where-to-get-mostly-clean-10-ssi-jewels.386937/ I agree with one of the poster that you can possibly get clean items from most mob. I would say mid-to-high level mob not…

High SDI, wraith form, withering and spirit speak to heal.

Tim said: Every time this comes up I'm reminded of an interview I saw with the chief mathematician for the local lottery. As he said the odds of 1,2,3,4,5,6, with the bonus number of 7 coming up are exactly the same as any other 7 numbers. …

loop said: The mechanics for getting loot rights are very forgiving. As others have mentioned, support-only bards -- you might be the only one in the entire game -- are no more "discriminated" against than, say, a mage who casts only buffs (a…

I actually like having the ability to use bard songs without screwing up drops/rights. I use the peacemaking songs all the time as a protector at spawns. He can discord and run the songs without impacting scrolls.

Looting rights for bards are the same as anything else... damage dealt, damage taken or damage healed. If you use a disco mastery song to damage or a provoke song to heal you get credit. Peace songs don’t deal or heal damage so they won’t get you …

Gwen said: @ Merus , those people can easily buy earrings from other players. Just go and sell or trade some stuff you got over the years. Lots of gear in the game , and even deco's are more expensive then this earrings. Such end-game gear …

Gwen said: Do you think 120 powerscrolls have same value? There is equal chance to get Stealing , Fencing, Resist or Tactics. A hawkwinds and a cameo don't have the same value either, but there is still a usefulness to them in game which …

I’ll add my voice to this topic... My issue is not so much with random, but the vast difference in “value”. Beyond 1 of the deco drops there is virtually no value to 7 of the 8 drops. This is quite different than something like the roof where the…
