A question.

A question. With the four leafed oneberries, it says my senses arent good enough, is that implying that my perception is not high enough, and if so, do that mean i will never be able to collect them?

At the moment, that is what it says. But maybe there will be some changes again, sometime.

I'm very thankful for giving more things for druids to play with.

Aargh, i'm ready to kill of my character, i mean, all the new druid stuff i can't use! Aargh, well i have a possible idea, but i doubt it will work.

Edit: It didnt.

I think a lo perception score should be made to where you have a -3/4 penalty on findinf herbs, so it would be really hard but not impossible, as blind people still have the chance of finding something

Realize, that your char has suffered no loss at all. Everything that was possible for you to do in past is still possible. All these effects of perception etc. do only influence new items, new spells, new procedures.

Your char might have been the greatest druid ever, but as in life, there comes a day realm breaks up. To deal with this is a big challenge for roleplayers, and maybe tomorrow, some other changes will smash those parvenues and bring your char back into limelight.

this druid stuff is confusing !! perception ey? well i do not remember leaving any skills to 0 ... but anyway... this new-system-but-old-system-still-works thing is getting me confused and i think for the present i shall only be able to make normal healing potions... nothing more, no matter what herbs i collect

Whats so confusing about it?
Everything you once where able to do as durid is still possible,
but learing something new is slighlty more challanging.

I agree to Konstantins words. I really like beeing a druid, because it is a really pruductive craft but I was always a bit jealous because the magicians have much more spells than the druids have potions. I know, you can't really compare the both, but the magicians simply had more to play with I think. The new system is really a kind of gift for us druids.

Thanks for that

oh i thought that the druid-book system had changed somehow like the mage system changed.... you mean i can still try to find druid books (apart from firnis book) to learn other potions? i thought it was useless now and that you had to learn only from those books in the library ok sorry then... and i am still trying to find out what the books in the library are worth and what you need to have to be able to read more pages... but ok i shall find that out ingame...
thanks

The people who can't get the herbs have suffered a loss. New items are out and we can not harvest them, I can, but I am not a druid. I see how this is a great loss.

Sell it to a Druid, your Character makes some Coins, and the Druid has something to experiment with.

Here is what I am trying to say, My other char is a herb supplier. He can't pick them which obviously gives him a great disadvantage.

Deies and co., your characters can still find, sell or use the exact same herbs as they did in the past. Their business will not suffer due to this change, but it will not expand either as it may for the characters of some players with more foresight. It will remain relatively constant. You may lose some business in the event that the buyer wishes to buy all their herbs or potions at once from a single supplier and you cannot provide some of these recently implemented ones, but this case should be rare. If you have the products to sell that you had in the past, you can still sell them at little or no disadvantage to that single character because they will still be in demand by the public. All in all, you will not benefit from these changes, but you will not notice a decline in business, unless of course you change the way your character behaves because of these changes (i.e. spend your time in useless pursuit of these things you cannot find instead of continuing on as you had before). Even if you do suffer from a disadvantage now, in any aspect of the game, there is no argument that can be constructed or conceived that doesn’t place the blame solely on yourself.

The fact that you cannot find these newly implemented herbs, or do all that you wish to do in the game is nobodies fault but your own. Everyone who is now "outdated" can only blame themselves for this. We all knew that one day the attributes which were left at the bare minimum while creating a character would have an effect within the game at some point, this information was readily available on the game website in multiple locations, yet some players chose to use these available points only within the categories that were, at that time, in use, to maximize their character’s potential at that time. Thus, giving their characters an extreme advantage over the characters with more balanced and therefore more realistic attributes. Now that the game has become more balanced and more attributes have a meaning, those who took advantage of the system before are now suffering. I see absolutely no merit in your complaints on this matter. This current predicament that you now find your characters in was your own doing.

Hey, Half Blind warriors with 3 perception, what great warriors they must be! Is perception integrated into combat yet? because it should be. Everyone with 3 perception should suffer the consequences!

Val De Gausse · Post by **Val De Gausse** » Wed Dec 10, 2003 8:58 pm

Actually none of my characters have left out stats. I atleast make every stat 8 or more. I think my perception was never below 11.
