I have a question:

Is there any way to boost your charm, strength, constitution etc? by buying anything?

I think DragonX said something about having to buy scrolls to raise it or potions.
I don't think it goes up with levels unless it goes up one point per 5 or so levels.
I've only reached level 4.

There is no probability I don't believe.
It's just random, if it happens, it happens.

Yes there is, because there is a 99% chance that the staff set i to random etc etc and designated diamond/gold/iron/coal to each one, like this.

NPC Code:



  i = random(0,100);

  if (i<1) "diamond laying script";

  else if (i<33) "iron laying script";

  else if (i<66) "gold laying script";

  else if (i<100) "coal laying script";

In the above case (Which is probably not accurate), the chances of a diamond appearing after a rock breaks is 1 in 100 breaking of rocks.

Haha I bet that is the script. Darn I have 20 more rocks to go before I hit 100.

Just because you smash 100 rocks doesn't mean you'll get it within the 100 rocks you smash. It could take 1000 rocks before you even get a diamond.

btw, when is the cloth table going to be fixed? Aren't the boots supposed to be working already?

The chance of a diamond coming is built into the mudlib.

Then you'd be able to tell us the odds?

ChocoboGrn · #90 08-03-2002, 04:26 AM

If you're REALLY lucky, you might find that a store on the main island has a diamond in stock, they only cost like 4-6 platinum to buy also.

But, since the bug where you just burn up all the items repeatedly got fixed, its quite hard to be so lucky. Though earlier i walked into a store and saw it...But I've been reset since then so I no longer have it.

No... it's built in, so I can't get the odds... but I think that the odds change depending on how many diamonds were givin out and such -- that's the only reason I can think of to make that built in.

Actually, I've noticed this with monsters as well. Monsters that are killed unoften (i.e. monsters really far from the entrance to the main island) seem to have a better chance of dropping loot. It'd make sense that rocks have similar scripts except it just adjusts what type of item is dropped...

Googi · #93 08-03-2002, 08:37 PM

Yeah, I have a question, what's going on here?

BeZeRkEr · #94 08-03-2002, 08:42 PM

Too bad rabites are the only monster that don't drop any loot.

Tinarthia (or Tiranthia, however you spell it).
It's on main island, just go left following the paths and you should find it on the tip of the western island.

The shield crafting place is in a town northeast of the place where you craft helmets.
It's in the second floor of the building with a sign that has what looks like clothing on it.

It gives you wizardry skill so you can use spells but you would have to buy the spell books/scroll/grimoire/tomb of a spell to cast it.

i just want to know, is it possabel to steal from baddies/NPCs/Monsters, i have tried many a time with no prevail, have any of you ever stolen from a monster?

Judge_Spunky · #**110** 08-17-2002, 03:08 AM

I've read the whole thread, and only a few comments related to this.

I've tried using /cast alchemy and /invoke alchemy and both don't seem to work. The same thing goes for my magic missle and small fireball.
I read somewhere (with something to the effect) that if you kill something, and use alchemy over the item(s) it drops, then you can use them in an alchemy recipe.
I probably got some of that wrong, but I don't remember where the information lies.

So, how can I use the alchemy, magic missle, and small fireball skills? I've tried all three of them using /cast and /invoke and nothing seems to work. (It doesn't even pick up alchemy as a skill for me)

Okay, but what about the Small Fireball spell, and Magic Missle? I can't seem to get those to work when I try the /cast command, or the /invoke command.

Identifies wands but now everything is already identified so there is no use for it anymore.

Is there a shop that specializes in books and scrolls? If so, where? If not, do you buy scrolls etc, from the same shop that sells potions/roses/alchemy ingredients, etc?

no. Using skills with their purposes may also give exp gain.
