Bad Magic System !!!!!!

Post by Asteron »

Hello :-)
I think the way you get magic is TERRIBLE !
The only way to really get magic is to buy it or BEGG !
People say you have to work and stuff but I do and 1 book costs 250 gold ! Im more of a mage and im quite new so its really annoying Ive got pen and cun and I want to be able to cast at least one spell :cry:
There should be more ways of getting magic !
Please tell me if there are going to be ways :wink:
Thankyou

Dont be so quick to judge, the magic books cost 200 gold, and there are diffrent ways to gain magic, you just got to find them out yourself.

Asteron,

If you think you are frustrated now wait until you actually learned the runes and you try to cast spells which you will only succeed every once in 15 try... which by then you will have used up all your magic. So you'll have to save up money to buy magic potions which you will go through like water fighting monsters. So believe me affording the books is the least of your struggles!

*Elaralith cannot stop laughing*
:P Ha! Too hard to get spells and learn magic? That's a funny one! In my opinion, it is way to easy to get magic books and learn spells. There should be very hard quests that one needs to undertake to get a magic book to learn a spell. Or very hard quests where you must find a NPC experienced wizard who can teach you for a price. Too hard?!? :roll:

i agree with elaralith. Reading a magic book should help you learn a rune but there should be more to it than just going to a store and buying one

Then of course it doesnt really help when anyone is ready to just give the rune combinations for free as long as you ask nicely...

Agreed, and it was my understanding that that was the orginal intent for the books to be found, on quests and such, but they have not been implemented yet.

In the future they will be.

Yeah, yeah, I know I always say "in the future" but at least it gives you something to look forward to :P

So take the Runes from the play until the quest system is aktiv.
That there are not so much Mages.
