Page 3 - The "Goddamn it!" thread

I've noticed you can get 20 times more experience from a pvp battle than from a monster battle if your opponent is say two levels higher than you. So that's a huge incentive for those with a few extra dragon kills to be more than a little bloodthirsty as long as their pvp turns last.

And a note on the castle: I think maybe you only can get through the first time, or at least it gets a lot harder after that. However, you don't lose xp or gold when you die in the castle, you can't be killed by another player if you're in the afterlife and being dead is cheaper than the inn, if you can beat a monster in there they usually give more xp, torments in the afterlife count as kills for your weapon, and you can usually find some gold before you die. So all in all that's not a bad way to end a game day.

I'm going backwards ...
Every time I login in the past few days I've been killed at least once and my xp has been reduced to less that I can regain in a day ...

My advice is to make sure you end up in Tor, and die in the castle- you don't lose xp when you die there and you can't be attacked pvp in the afterlife.

I think you get more gold + gems from Forest fights in Tor too.

The trouble is that my stupid quest says that I have to fight a monster in Glorfindal, so now I do all my forest fights there. But I've been doing that for 2 dragon kills and I've made no further progress on that quest! I'm really starting to miss Tor!

I'm mostly "Thrillseeking" but will the quest only continue if I "Look for something to kill" ?

I just beat the level 3 master and progressed to level 4 . . . naturally.
So, what to do?
Ah yes, I'll go for a forest fight then, eh?
Note: this is the first move on a new day.
I go to the forest and select Forest fight, not slumming or thrillseeking, a fight.
Any-hoo, I'm given a level 5, ie: +1 on me - has happened about 3 or 4 times before and like a coward I usually run . . . partly because I usually die.
But, this time I had an ace up my sleave - oh yes - an ace.
So, I battled until I was down in the single figures - level 5 guy had moved - yeah - just a little.
So I pulled my ace out with confiction - level 3 chromancy - reverse time - +12 health with each stirke - way handy or what?!
Ah well, what can I say, it was not to be.
Got my ar*e kicked anyway.
Frustration . . . .

LOL! That's what it's all about, right?

I've tried Swordsmanship and Ninja but I think Chronomancy is the best specialty, although I've never tried the Reverse Time spell. But the Slow Time and Freeze are awesome. Slow Time gives you a massive attack bonus and only costs 1 Use point.

And yeah I think the way that bad things happen in the game is not always that fun.
Once I was looking forward to my next game Day, but after 1 turn I lost all gold, got killed, lost 10% Experience and that was the end of that! I felt like I had completely wasted my time. I don't really see how that happening can ever be fun.

Any type of healing spells like that in battle you should use them before you get in single figures, give yourself enough time to take at least one or two hits.

I did, I did.
Just didn't seem to be making much of a dent in their health.
I basically lived two lives in the fight.
Ah well, I'll struggle on.

Hehe today I made 25 gems definitely better then before.

At farmboy level you have to go slumming a lot. As you get a few dragonkills things will get easier prcadap.
