addy vs ebony, what do you mean with addy vs ebony.

all i know is that high lvl mage/necro gets more damage out of low + addy than ebony +9.

damage bonus from tint is only 5% but it is enough at high lvl to pewpew ebony sticks.

ill go test this on PD right away with lvl 650 char, will report damage output in couple of minutes :D

ebony crook +8 138-151 damage with hob, 388-414 with death missile
adamantium shilly without any + 137-150 damage with hob, 387 - 413 with death missile

so at this point im still dealing more damage with high + ebony than no + adamantium, but eventualy the adamantium one will deal more damage

character is lvl 650

and for bonus
adamantium gnarled staff +8 144 - 157 damage with hob, 395 - 423 with death missile.

could go see the damages on aplha with higher lvl but too lazy to do it atm :D


okay i did tests on alpha

all damage from VAM

addy +8 859-873
addy +0 849-863
ebon +8 834-848

Code: Select all

float ItemData::get_material_dmg_mult (const Item & weapon, bool undead) {
  
  // if(staff_only && get_weapon_type(weapon)!=W_PRIEST) return 1;
  
  int mat=get_material(weapon);
  float mult=1;
  if(mat==MAT_SILVER && undead) {
    mult=1.5;
  }
  else if(mat==MAT_BLACKROCK) {
    mult=1.2f;
  }
  else if(mat==MAT_ADAMANTIUM) {
    mult=1.25f;
  }
  else if(mat==MAT_ADDLED) {
    mult=1.15f;
  }
  else if(mat==MAT_COPPER) {
    mult=1.1f;
  }
  int sm=weapon.getSuperMat();
  if(sm==SMAT_MR||sm==SMAT_Vig||sm==SMAT_NV) mult*=1.1f;
  else if(sm) mult*=1.2f;
  return mult;
}
manual correct for blackrock :shock:

with using mah windows calculator addy should be better than oak :D


1min of continous spamming with spell that deals 250damage and cooldown is 1second on plain weapon

this means 60 spells / minute and with oak staff its 66.66andsoon spells / minute

plain total damage will be 15000
adamantium total damage will be 18750
copper total damage will be 18333.33 and so one.

so with the maths done addy should be better, not much bit better

well there are stock goblins, such as in izumi mine, who's stats come straight from sdat/monsters.txt

then there are leveled globins (done by lua): and their stats could come from anywhere. I have my own lua func for levelling mobs, but not all places use it. Eg, that goblin map with the raft: I don't know how those gobs are levelled. I could find out of course. So basically there isn't a clear cut answer.

Hmmmm.... Well i know i was trying to make an excel of my own ideas loosely based off of taming. Guess, creative engineering here could be used.

Ill draw that up when i hit corpus christi.

Btw, i wish i was aware of richard Gs D&D#1 contest some years back. He was awarding people $$content in shroud of the avatar.

I didnt know he used the old electric typewriter computers to create #1-28 before he ever put put Akalabeth. Would have liked to see what you came up with in that contest.

What's the best or easiest recording program to record say... a run through EFTV? I only need it to record the game I don't need my voice just whatever the computer puts out video/sound.

OK, turns out win10 has a built in one that I will try. The quick check seems to work for online browsing and EFTV worked so I will see.

Manual says :
Bone

Crafted from a living being bone does indeed provide more than an suspecting glance from others!
a wielded bone weapon adds +10% damage to spells
a bone armor will add up to +10% HP to a player skilled in Necromancy
The question came up about bone belts and percent given. Well, I'm curious about each piece to be honest.

How much does a non-necro get per piece of bone gear to their HP?
How much does a necromancer get per piece of bone gear? I suppose I could figure this out on my own..

Guess I was just thinking a certain % of necro gained more HP.. similar to ritual sacrifice on an altar compared to on the ground.

Maybe it was in one of the updates for EFTV but if you kill the MegaCow once it seems you can't kill it again. It is supposed to be like this. I was trying a speed run after I deleted my map data so I couldn't see the maps. I got up to the cow and it died like a regular cow. No giant cow or ending. Was wondering where in the personal character data I can fix it so i can kill the cow again... resetting the dog would be nice too.

Has anyone run a DnD campaign related to EUO? I'm making a campaign for some friends and considering adopting some elements (continent, estorrath's portal, lord brownthorne, lycan quest) into my story. Using 3.5.
