Fighting Nakid

[maggers]

Hi peeps,

After reading several posts on the US boards and taking everything in to account I have to disagree with some things and wanted to discuss it here.

It's said in those threads that while fighting in a group with 5 level 80's and 1 level 25 for example the decay of items is caculated on the lowest level item and then that decay is spread amongst the group.

If that was so then how come when I play nakid apart from my trusty ql 100 "Pinsao Made Rounders Bat (tm)" it still decays at an increadable rate when fighting level 142 Frahrah's with 2 other people both wearing/using ql 80+ items?

I may be wrong .. but has anyone else got any theories on this.

(note: I spoke with a GM and was told that the Devs where working on the problem and items are not ment to decay at such a fast rate, although his end comment was "well you know those Frarhar's are quite high level" to which I replied and what else would a group of 9 level 80 - 110 people fight.. level 30 mobs ?)

The answer to all your questions lies in the layer of bafta, yes bafta.

I think its entirly level dependant; our group is going through staves about 1 every 2 hours; some melees are eating pikes every 30 mins or less.

The decay seems to increase with your level.

Decay seems to be calculated with your level (or item level) and the level of your target.

Thats why Healers´ equipment last a lot longer then off elemental for example.

Healers Target => Player => roughly same level => low decay
OffMages Target => Mob => much higher level => high decay

at least thats what our tests indicate.

Hey,

I am not a very experienced player, been on mainland only 2 days now with the following stats:
Melee Fight 42, Offense Magic 32, Melee Craft 35, Armour Craft 41, Forage 41

My Pike (from Shop - wondermatt) went down 3 points (121/124) after kill 17 baying gingos, 12 baying goari, 5 moderate kipee...

You will probably laugh and say thats nothing of what you are doing, but how much more can you do in 30 minutes? that took me 3 hours! haha

I was teamed with 3 people, 1 slightly higher then me, 1 slightly less then me....

Cheers

Very roughly 1 mob every minute. Maybe every 2. Slight overkill on the pike stats maybe; the staves I can verify as thats what I use...they go very very fast.

You've just got to know the heavy spawns...
