seriously though, if you hang out in OT for a weekend you will be able to buy all of this crap. oftentimes burning woods kites go un-looted - you can get 500-1000pp per kite there, and sometimes the kiters just don't care about looting

Lumbo, To answer your question seriously.. I am not looking to become rich. I would like to be able to buy some lowbie WIS gear so I can have a larger mana pool. As we all know: moar mana = moar nukes(solo mostly) = moar kills = moar exp/loot/PP

This is actually fundamental misinformation that people rarely seem to understand.

Having more mana does not mean that you can kill more mobs, it just means that you can kill more mobs if you start from full mana. If you equip your gear and you get 300 more mana, and it takes on average ~500 mana to kill a mob, then you basically increase your exp/loot/pp by 3/5 of a mob for everytime you hit full mana. And if you're hitting full mana, you're wasting time anyways. If the goal is to be able to come back to a full mana bar, kill 3 mobs, and afk for 30 minutes -- then more mana is a good thing (for the lazy gamer!).

Regeneration of mana is not based on a percentage of your mana but on a hard-coded value. That being said, two people with the same meditate skill, starting from 0 mana, using the same spells fighting the same mobs, can have the same throughput of exp/loot/pp - it doesn't matter if one of their mana pools is 2400 and the other is 1600.

The only place where this is *untrue* is when you require a certain amount of mana to accomplish something. Off the top of my head this would be like, the ability to successfully quad-kite, or to keep an AoE stun chain going during Chardok AOE. Most people don't run into this.

This fact, coupled with the fact that there is no way to increase the potency of magical attacks, is why twinking a caster does almost nothing while twinkinga melee makes a huge difference. The ability to apply regeneration to your most valuable asset (hp), the increase of damage by weapon ratio, the buffing of proc rates / survivability (dex / agi), and damage (str) , all gives you sizeable returns on your investment.

A level 12 caster with a higher mana pool is pretty much the same as the level 12 caster in gossamer, sadly. If they changed regeneration to be percentage based, man would this be a completely different game.

There has been a bunch of threads on here that show a 50 Necro Nacked is damn near as good as a TOTAL twink one. Same applies to a Mage.

Yeah, and this is why they implemented focus effects on items. Being able to buff spell haste, mana cost reduction, and adding mana regeneration to a CASTERS most important asset (mana), made twinking and improving your caster a worthwhile endeavor. It's actually kind of sad how much the game caters to melee characters in terms of loot. The only important loot for a caster, at least in kunark, is the spells that they need (hello Torpor)

This is also why on my enchanter I don't really bother with gear. As long as i'm buffing the 1 stat that matters (Charisma), i'm just as effective as I would be in some fancy 90k robe.

those focus effects kinda got ridiculous after you had a bunch, one spell being cast and 1/3 of the chat box would fill with spam like "your genuine Metallica cockring of destruction begins to glow"

Heh, true after awhile on live.

More importantly though, Amelinda was dismissed as a GM. Does that mean that all her calls in the past are now under review? It happens quite often in other legal settings. We're going to need to get some young lawyers and documentation on the case.

I knew something was wrong when they got rid of thread tagging
