brandon ok i have a great idea. How about there be only 5 nightmare books in the game 5 blastwaves 5 prisms or even 3. This are ITEMS that will decay just like eq. you can only cast these spells if you have the book in your inventory. If you die the book can be looted. i think that would be great for the super mage spells, also very unlikely one of them mages would use trash tactics. also maybe give druids/clerics a spell like this that there is very few of. otherwise you get deep into wipes and everybody has cyan books. ok if you like it vote no, if you dont like it vote yes

ilya So what happens when a clan like MINE farms these 5 and nobody has any of these "items" Brandon? Or any other clan for that matter...

brandon what happens if wild farms them? or vm? or myth? who is to say you would get them all? lolz @ ilya . + they decay. it would completely neutrelize the mage problem. but there would be still the elite mages

brandon well, it would give more reason to war i guess. but i would say its better then having 20nightmare mages by end wipe. when some could be bots anyway.

kreachor Ilya did say any clan for that matter, but I do think Brandon's idea is a good one. It would eliminate some of the issues. But here is the problem, lets so Wild has majority of stunners or whatnot at one time and they war another clan. That clan would not be able to counter that by popping spells for themselves to fight it. This is a real vague example but just throwing stuff out there.

kreachor Also,
What if these folks who had the spellbooks decided to deeprent and quit rather then fight? It has been known some folks with limit 1 gear rather do that then fight or give it up.

brandon i would say make them a decay item maybe 1month timer. also thats why i said like 5 of each, % load. just say there is 15 total elite mage books, they dont all have to be loaded. also make them enourmous rent unheld. books of this caliber must be a held item.. 15books is tomany i think i would stick with maybe 3 of each.

ilya Eric said exactly what I was thinking. B I agree with you that there needs to be a change. However by making it a limited item, it can be controlled and as a result the most powerful clan will likely have these items or pk for them. Once they have all of them, there is literally nothing that can be done to get it back unless you get lucky on a repop...Which as I stated limited items are generally repopped quite well by those who have them.

gulca easy fix on brandon's idea
each clan tag has limit to 2 of the books/items or whatever you want to limit, deep rent or not.
That way, if you want to loot the said items, you need to
1. clan tag
2. not hit the limit for that clan
So each "power" item will be limited to any particular clan, and you won't have 5 nightmare mages in the same clan.
They can of course create 3 different clans and group with each other.

brandon yea, but these items can also be looted off your corpse. so i think it makes it more balance the fact you can potentialy lose them all. then all of a sudden the most powerful clan now has zero nightmare mages and opposing underdog clan has 2 or whatever.. 2mages with 1 prism book and 1 nightmare book wont so freely teleport/relocate to people thus eliminating alot of the trash pk. now if someone decides to rent say all 9 of these books or different clans deeprenting, then all of a sudden we have no elite trash squads and the game would be slightly normal

Kadaj I last checked this section at 8 comments. Saw 21, figured Ilya and Brandon were arguing. Was not disappointed.

jorake Why not put these ideas on the forums. Not everyone looks at suffs.. but there are a lot of good ideas here!
I think having each book auto decay in or out of rent in 3weeks to a month would be superb.

ilya Better yet have it be a set time for these items to decay to allow for each clan to battle it out for who pops it! I remember having to fight guilds off in WoW for world spawning mobs that only came about once a week, was a blast!

brandon lol ilya, u could do that. i think if they did anything like that it should be Lord Soth and Cyan all rushing out doing their own zoning somwhat, basically a msg showing alot of elite mobs names and them confiscating alot of main items like nobashes/nightmare book/soth sword even. i would say maybe all the epic items... now we are stretching it ! lube it up!
