I have two DC Wizards, one with Mummy Dust and one without. In my experience, as long as your DC is high enough you won't need the mummy. It does help with some mobs (magic immunity, death immunity, high saves, etc), but a high DC Wail is usually more useful than a mummy. However if you have room fo...

In that case I'm not sure what happened. The mages cast Epic Mage Armor as normal, but I didn't have any trouble hitting them even after letting them finish casting all of their spells. I let at least 3 mages fully buff themselves too, so it doesn't seem to be just a lucky occurrence. Anyway the mag...

I do think this would be considered a high magic server with the endgame gear focusing on an intentionally hidden crafting system I don't think it is a good server for a Shifter. I am probably just going to make a new character soon because of that. That's understandable, even on servers where item...

Thanks for fixing the mage AC driller.
I didn't do enough testing to work out what their new AC is after casting Epic Mage Armor, but I let a few mages fully buff themselves and I was still able to hit them.

To follow on from my previous post, after a bit more testing it seems the AC problem is due to Epic Mage Armor. The mage goes from 86 AC, which is high but hittable, to 106 AC which can only be hit by a select number of Arcane Archer builds. Can you consider either removing Epic Mage Armor or changi...

Yeah, any time you cast a spell (either as a caster or from an item) the target gets hit with Greater Restore and then the spell takes effect. This applies to both buffs healing the caster and offensive spells healing creatures.

It will be a while before I make my own shifter here, but I am interested in how item merging has been changed. I have already read through this thread and I'm aware that item properties are saved at rest rather than when shifting, but I'm not sure how this works with the item merging. I have a few ...

Recently I've noticed that sometimes two chests will spawn from killing the same creature. I have no idea what triggers the bug, since the three times it happened were all standard melee kills. Only one of the chests will open so it doesn't actually affect how much loot you get, but I figured that I...

I use a STR WM and don't have a problem with the Umgah Mages as long as they haven't finished buffing. However once they are fully buffed (usually when I run into one that another group ran away from), their AC is untouchable.

As somebody with a wizard crafter, I definitely prefer the status quo over nerfing how items affect high end crafting. Removing items over 70 will mean that only bards will be able to hit the magic 80/81 (I've seen conflicting comments on what the actual maximum needed is). Even a Wizard/RDD can onl...

Thank you for fixing the bugs driller. I've experienced a few more since making this post. The cost of using Gruther's forge is 50% of the price reported in dialogue. For example, this screenshot shows a price of 1,641,992 GP when it actually only costs 820,996 GP. I have tested this multiple times ...

I haven't fought many Drow Wizards with a melee build, but I have fought plenty of Umgah Mages. They do have mid-80s AC and True Seeing, but they also have less than 200 HP. A caster can kill them with two spells and a high-AB character with a high-end weapon can kill them fairly quickly. They are t...

Can you add a socketed sling to Gruther's shop please? There are already socketed bows and crossbows, but no socketed slings.

Raise Dead and Resurrection are both Conjuration spells. If your wizard's specialized spell school is Abjuration, Evocation, or Transmutation you will be unable to use those scrolls.

I started playing on Blackstone Keep a few weeks ago and I have really enjoyed my experience here so far. Listed below are all of the bugs that I have encountered on the server so far. However some of these might have been fixed since I first noticed them. Elder Water Elementals (and their champions...
