Some questions about mining :
How does materialspawing work ? (Ore, zink ore, silver ore, blackrock) Is this totally random ? Or is one spot "empty" forever when I have mined it ? Does the miningspots shift places now and then ?

As far as I know they do not shift places, and after some time the ore veins respawn and you can start mining there again. This also semi answers you request for ore filter, all you need to do is learn where particular ore that you are looking for is.

Ok, here's a good question concerning mining...

First off, let me say that I didn't realize that it took copper ORE and zinc ORE to make the brass ingots...

I just smelted a lot of copper ore into ingots and a bunch of zinc ore into ingots as well, thinking that it took zinc and copper INGOTS to make BRASS ingots...

So basically now, I've wasted a ton of zinc ore (the copper will be useful once the patch comes, whenever that may be), but what's the point of having zinc smelting tongs if you can't do anything with the zinc ingots that you create?

So what do I do with the zinc ingots I have now since I can't do anything else with them (except maybe tame a zorn with it once taming comes to reg)?

Any ideas?!?!

Feed it to zornz when taming goes out??? I dunno i think you are screwed.

I think brass used to be made out of zinc ingots and copper ingots.
Just dump it in the trash and keep playing!

I would keep it because you never know when statue crafting might get in.

How exactly is defense calculated? It seams to be the same for me weather I'm wearing nothing or my blackrock fieldplate + 2 and addy full helm.

Keep in mind that only fighters get bonus from heavy and medium armour, and fighters and rogues get defence from light armour.

Bugbo · Post by **Bugbo** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:22 am

So then your defense is based on the weapon you wield?

AileTheAlien · Post by **AileTheAlien** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 9:16 am

No. It's based on how much class points you have.
If you're 100% fighter, 10% rogue, and 15% mage, then you'll get 100% of the defence from all armour types.
25% rogue, and 100% mage, and you'd get 0% from medium/heavy, 25% defence from light.
(everyone gets the bonus from unarmoured, I think.)

Ok, just a quick couple of questions...

First off, how do you rename a container that you got from a container scroll?

Second off, I've noticed anything that's above +15 stat-wise can't be disenchanted... is there a way to make it just drop the 'top-notch' gem of color and just leave it at that? If not, anything above +15 will now be 'godly' and there could be some problems that arise with that...

Third, is the only way to get scrolls to use in spell-enchanted weapons thru disenchanting others? Or can the new 'tomes' be used?

That's all for now.. I had some more but I can't remember them...

/merchname name

That's the command to rename containers.

When combining yellow pots to make improved/refined/greater yellows, shouldn't you get some empty flasks back?

ie. 3x yellows = 1 refined + 2 empty flasks

BlackMage · Post by **BlackMage** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:14 pm

ok so lets say I decided to make a 2nd brass golem for someone else to tame...

would it be able to be tamed AND would it take 100 taming to do it?

Post by **eggmceye** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:33 pm

brass golems are not tamable - when you make then (specificially, when you drop them from your inv) they automatically become your pet. Dropping more than one will make the old one go feral.

About Thunderclap:
(The manual is out of date on the special moves.)

1. Does it get bonus damage like the other special moves?
2. Are monsters supposed to start attacking their brethren when you use Thunderclap on them?
I've noticed that sometimes when I use TClap, one monster will start attacking the others.

P.S.
Should questions about PD go in this FAQ section?

Akyla · Post by **Akyla** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 6:34 am

Yeah it confuses and stuns monsters.

AileTheAlien · Post by **AileTheAlien** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 9:05 am

Thank you, but that doesn't answer my questions.

Is there some page one the manual that explains the different status-effects?
(Confusion, for example.)

BlackMage · Post by **BlackMage** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 9:18 am

confusion is like casting QAW - it causes the monsters to attack each other for a certain amount of time
