Myths?

Maybe this rumor was spread by folks just trying to unload their wares, but more than a few people told me back in the day that if I had a full suit of black iron armor, it would have 'magical' properties. Like some added stat bonus for a full set, or a random proc of invulnerability in battle...yeah, we were wishing for the moon there !

Has anyone mentioned that having a Plains Pebble in your backpack would make you eat less?? Where did this myth come from? Did it work at one time??

Not in original Vellious - it's Fabled.

THAT DEXTERITY EFFECTED HOW OFTEN YOUR HITS LANDED!!! HOLY CRAP I DUMPED ALL MY BEGINNING STATS IN TO DEX AS A HALF-ELF WARRIOR.

In retrospect I now know why I sucked so much. I didn't find out dex had no bearing on chance to land a hit until PoP....

Other stupid myths:
-You could pick up a thrown item. I tried it on a dragoon dirk around level 8. I never got it back [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
-That you wanted a big number on your weapons, namely delay. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
-You could get re-aggro with a mob at a great distance despite zoning out and zoning back in.
-That the world was really this dark (until I adjusted gamma which was set automatically at max low when I began)
-That skeletons in EC dropped Lamentations (from Kunark), but was in reality a rusty mace.
-The warriors were a good class to play back in classic.

Dexterity in a warrior would affect how often a weapon procs though, doesn't it? Which is good for holding aggro? I don't know much about warriors but this doesn't seem like the *worst* thing you could do with your starting stats.

I'd also get gear that was heavily dexterity-oriented...anyways, my objective was to increase my dex which I thought would increase the chance to land a hit, not procs. I didn't even know what a "proc" was when I started the game.
