I recently had my crafter create a weapon for use by another of my characters. The weapon had all the attributes I wanted but was left without enhancement so that this could be added as the character leveled. To add enhancement the forge in the UD was used. The following table shows the enhancement ...

Something I miss from another module I've played is the ability to name items in inventory. For example I'd like to be able to change the name on a container from "Magic Bag" to "Arrows", or that on a wand from "Magic Wand" to "Bull's Strength". This is purely...

I played casually on this server a couple of years ago for a while and then had to go off and do other things. I came back about a month ago and thought it might be interesting to describe how I see things from that perspective. Firstly the good things, which are many. A generally friendly and helpf...

On a melee build with decent charisma and constitution, which is more useful on BSK? I have enough skill points to max out one of these skills, or should I spread points over both?

Well, I designed and levelled my own bard based build which I'm quite happy with and which reaches 80+ with no problems and can happily survive solo looting sprees in a certain city in the underdark. One thing which I found out along the way which would have been nice to know, and which I can't see ...

OK I may have a handle on what is causing this. It has just happened again. In both cases my character had just sparred with a certain dwarf as part of an ongoing investigation, during which he was set hostile. When I went back to the Playful Maiden to grab some supplies the regulars again attacked ...

No absolutely none which is what surprised me. I managed to get off the ship by hiding from the captain and opening a town portal which now seems to work again. I guess I'm just special

Anyone else seeing faction problems currently? My character just wondered into the Playful Maiden to pick up supplies and was immediately set on by the regulars there who were all already hostile. I guess it's a rougher joint than I thought. Outside all was fine and the guards in the cellar were als...

Hard to tell now because I've out levelled that zone. Just testing now however, I did notice that whilst they were giving just 4 xp, the Azur next door are still giving 100+ and are much, much easier.

Something feels wrong with the difficulty level of the Waste harpies. I've tested with a couple of build types and in both cases they seem much harder than the formians a couple of areas away which were rewarding 4 times as much experience. As another measure, there is a quest in that area. I was ab...

Thanks for the link. That was one of the threads that made me think that effective crafters have to be bard / RDD mixes. It's not the type of character that comes to mind when thinking about crafters but I guess it's more about mechanics than RP. Do you know how easy it is to acquire an item that wo...

I'm relatively new here and have now got around to trying to level a crafting character. I've been reading these forums and one thing that now worries me is that, in answer to another post, Driller refers to an optimum skill level of 80 and there being a specific crafter build. I'm guessing from oth...
