Modifiers and Motes
February 23, 2000
 
I don't know about everyone else, but I am starting to think that axes have damage modifiers just like Bows.
If you read the cybex hint guide, damage is based on about six factors. Monsters armor you attacking, your strength, your attack skill, your burden, day of the week, and colon count, and even more. Its unreal.
So how is a 5-10 axe SO MUCH WORSE than a 6-11?
Just got done talking with dave. All our best axes are Silifi's.
Regardless of stats.

I am now just barely able to use Super Axe Yrrkoon.

6-11, speed 42 - that my friends, is an amazingly fast axe.
coordination self 4
Blood drinker 3
+3 to atack skill

went to the matty cave last night so I could jump down and fight ice golems.
Almost died to TWO SNOWEYS!!! Using super axe Yrkkoon.
This is an Ono.
Switched to my second best axe (second best according to speed, and spells on it and damage written in it) and took on TWO GREATS and won.
No hides, but it is finally becoming clear to me that Axes have damage modifiers too.
Silifis are by far the best.
There is nothing else close.
Ono's are by far the worst, and Tungi's are probably second worse. Battle axes are probably between Slifis and Tungis.
How about swords. Have you notcied that even though you have a long sword blood drinker 3 it sucks compared to a plain Takuba?
This would explain why Olthoi swords are so good.
Wood golems
Wood golems are good exp, easy to kill, and drop motes. Camped the north woods for two hours last night, no motes. Got one this morning in the first half an hour. I am now carrying 8 motes I think. People are giving them to me to hold, like mutt and cyblade. I personally have found three.
Has anyone given carrot soup to Lunatic Dave (Dave is not it, lunatic something...) at Bandit Castle? This is part of the Frore Quest, and I do not know if anyone has done this. Lunatic dave is right at the entrance, and I remember reading that if you give him the carrot soup - he does something. Was there last night - but I had no carrot soup with me. Has anyone done this?
Neydissa casltle has a quest from lady neydissa "Find out "BLANK's" plans, and I will give you the best weapon out of my armory." Has anyone done this?
Damian Drako went with us to Matty cave and wanmts to join up. Seemed like a nice guy to me. Anyone object?
How many motes do we have? For those interested in combining, I bet I will have 16 with my group by the end of this week. Which means saturday at noon, we could meet and get weapons for Rimgar, rojon, and possibly simone if others have more. Are people free on Saturday? And how goes the mote count?
Went to the Ice Golem sapwn site and met some barely english speaking Spanish guys. One of them said "You're monarch is very, very nice" I have no idea how I know this guy, or if he meant my alliance was very very nice, and when I pressed him on it, he stood stock still for 10 minutes, then lagged out and disappeared.
Good job people. Everywhere we go - people respect us.

later

Jamie
