Rebirth shop discussion revisited

[Josiah]

20 base strength?? You have my vote!

[*teker*]

So it sounds like you want the caps to look like this:

Code: Select all

12)   +1  Hit Roll               -   0 of   3 -  37.50 B  /   18.75 M
13)   +1  Damage Roll            -   0 of   3 -  50.00 B  /   25.00 M
14)   +1  Bonus Circle Damage    -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
15)   +1  Bonus Flail Damage     -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
16)   +1  Bonus Hand Damage      -   0 of   6 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M

I just hope that eventually you figure out coefficients and remove the caps.
That'd allow sticking to a certain classo and playing in it - up to the soft caps, of course.

imho, if a mana point cost 10 coins, then a hp would be worth 4-5 coins and a move would cost 3-4 coins.

[cyprimus]

was thinking more along the lines of a set price for stat.. then an ever increasing price too raise the cap.. so you could hit classo limits.. relatively fast.. then slowly build past..

[cyprimus]

sorry, had to go..

just offering alternative ways
base cost for stat... +the multiplier

also.. this will break some systems

eg-just buy damage reduction... 100...i suggest just capping damage reduction at class limit maybe with a + based on the highest possible ingame to not be abusive

Same applies to others.. just think.. whats the worse case if this gets too...whatever number... eg- resist fire 100 likely is immuned too fire.. not a huge deal..but maybe bad if certain critters in game only do flame damage..etc
think out each option.. set your limit based on balance.. not on what someone wants... etc..

and remember it will stack with eq as well as other bonus'

Gl!

[Teron]

Straight multipliers and caps are inefficient.

The way I've seen this done is with increasing logarithmic coefficients - they allow one to invest as much time as he wants into hp, while others get a much smaller amount in a very brief period.

So it sounds like you want the caps to look like this:

Code: Select all

12)   +1  Hit Roll               -   0 of   3 -  37.50 B  /   18.75 M
13)   +1  Damage Roll            -   0 of   3 -  50.00 B  /   25.00 M
14)   +1  Bonus Circle Damage    -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
15)   +1  Bonus Flail Damage     -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
16)   +1  Bonus Hand Damage      -   0 of   6 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M
17)   +1  Bonus Kick Damage      -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
18)   +1  Bonus Spell Damage     -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
19)   +1  Bonus Stab Damage      -   0 of  60 -   2.50 B  /    1.25 M
20)   +1  Bonus Weapon Damage    -   0 of   6 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M

21) -0.1  Armor Class            -   0 of   3 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M
22)   +1  Bonus Charisma         -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
23)   +1  Bonus Damage Reduction -   0 of   3 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M
24)   +1  Bonus Heal Bonus       -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
25)   +1  Bonus System Shock     -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
26)   +1  Bonus Undead Control   -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M

Something that looks more like a truth. Though i would raise ac and damage reductions caps to 6 also, they are not balance breaking at this point.
And some stats are missing, so not sure what values are there.

[Driven]

So maybe something like this?

Code: Select all

 1)   +1  Max Strength           -   0 of   1 -  50.00 B xp   25.00 M gold
 2)   +1  Max Intelligence       -   0 of   1 -  50.00 B xp   25.00 M gold
 3)   +1  Max Wisdom             -   0 of   1 -  50.00 B xp   25.00 M gold
 4)   +1  Max Dexterity          -   0 of   1 - 125.00 B xp   62.50 M gold

11)   +1  Movement Point Regen   -   0 of  30 -   8.33 B xp    4.17 M gold

12)   +1  Hit Roll               -   0 of   3 -  37.50 B  /   18.75 M
13)   +1  Damage Roll            -   0 of   3 -  50.00 B  /   25.00 M
14)   +1  Bonus Circle Damage    -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
15)   +1  Bonus Flail Damage     -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
16)   +1  Bonus Hand Damage      -   0 of   6 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M
17)   +1  Bonus Kick Damage      -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
18)   +1  Bonus Spell Damage     -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
19)   +1  Bonus Stab Damage      -   0 of  60 -   2.50 B  /    1.25 M
20)   +1  Bonus Weapon Damage    -   0 of   6 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M

21) -0.1  Armor Class            -   0 of   5 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M
22)   +1  Bonus Charisma         -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
23)   +1  Bonus Damage Reduction -   0 of   5 -  25.00 B  /   12.50 M
24)   +1  Bonus Heal Bonus       -   0 of  30 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
25)   +1  Bonus System Shock     -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M
26)   +1  Bonus Undead Control   -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B  /    2.50 M

27)   -1  Save Breath            -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B xp    2.50 M gold
28)   -1  Save Paralyzation      -   0 of   3 -   5.00 B xp    2.50 M gold
29)   -1  Save Petrification     -   0 of   3 -   2.50 B xp    1.25 M gold
30)   -1  Save Poison            -   0 of   3 -   2.50 B xp    1.25 M gold
31)   -1  Save Spell             -   0 of   3 -  25.00 B xp   12.50 M gold

And then I think a few more perm spells would be amazing. Here are some thoughts:

Code: Select all

32)   Greater Fluidity           -   0 of   1 -   65  B xp   32.50 M gold
33)   Resist Webs                -   0 of   1 -   35  B xp   16.50 M gold
34)   Blessing of the Avatar     -   0 of   1 -   20  B xp   10.00 M gold
35)   Improved Haste             -   0 of   1 -   125 B xp   65.00 M gold
36)   Natures Restoral           -   0 of   1 -   35  B xp   15.00 M gold
37)   Rejuvenation               -   0 of   1 -   12.5 B xp  12.00 M gold

[Teron]

It seems suggested caps on saves are low.
Compare 30 spell bonus to 130 spellbonus cap of a mage, that's about 25%.
At -32 saves cap, 3 saves is about 9%.
To match the proportions, it'd make sense to cap saves at 7.

If we look at someone with mage in the late classes:
about 50 spell dam cap, can get 30bsb (60%) more from the shop.
About 10-11 saves cap, can get 3 (30%) saves from the shop.
Again, capping saves at 6-7 would make the increases proportional.

Also, saves are capped.

Maybe there should be bonus -saves.

[cyprimus]

I would still like to see being able to buy everything up to my classo caps first, all i am seeing on the posts now is over cap bsb etc..

I suggested a single cost for the base.. that is not going over cap.. getting it too your classo limite, and an ever increasing cost for going over cap.

Love too see more perma spells added. Starting with the list above, perhaps perm water breath... and others that have items in game already...


thanks!

[cyprimus]

OH, also.. can we get gauranteed masterfuls for spells that are really nice for that?

[Josiah]

Like Driven, I'd like more options for persistent spells.

Please add perception! Currently buying Avatar Sight from the mayor is a disaster because it doesn't come with perception. If not, then I'd like to buy detect invisibility and darksight (without avatar sight).

Other spells I'd like to see that weren't on Driven's list:

Greater Mobility
Grace (should be expensive - this would void alignment restrictions on casting it)
Protection from Good (same)


Greater Fluidity has similar issues to Avatar Sight; it has extra power with a masterful cast. If the permanent version is only regular strength, tanks may have to avoid taking it. If the rebirth shop grants the masterful version, it should be extra expensive.

[cyprimus]

OK, remembered, was going to post about being able to sell back to the shop too

I suggest being able too get the exp, or the gold back.. not both..or not all at least

for example... being able to cash in for 100 percent.. but you have to choose so... 40 percent exp, 60 percent of the coins spent... or any other variation adding up to 100 percent. So you could get all the exp or all the coins back from a bad purchase... but not 100 percent of both..

[cyprimus]

OH, would also be exceptionally nice to be able to get perma corpus.

[Josiah]

Please add perception! Currently buying Avatar Sight from the mayor is a disaster because it doesn't come with perception. If not, then I'd like to buy detect invisibility and darksight (without avatar sight).

Please disregard that second request. Apparently detect invisible and darksight are still available from the mayor! I just got both tonight for 5 million each.

The mayor doesn't list the prices, but still sells them. Awesome!
