So sad, taking the classic drool toy bracelet of all melee characters in the game (even with the crappy -max con) and making it sub par to an easy to get bracelet.

I saw the stats and this indeed does have to be a mistake. What a absolute waste of time and effort, not to mention some of the equipment that you pump into the quest in order to get this pile of utter crap that is more or less worthless on all fronts. Good job area wanks!

Calm down people :P
Calling the areas staff wanks is pretty low.
It's already been said that quests need looked at by the staff, so while it's good to give feedback that Erlans isn't as rewarding as perhaps it should be, it's a severe lack of gratitude to go around insulting them
If you feel so strongly delete and go play something else.

it's not that. any player who plays the game would understand that quest system needed looking at WAY before calculating the stats. this is just another example of why gods should talk to high level players who have actually spent time doing a ton of quests. klandan, ssissu, ssissiv, molor, lilithelle, alurissi etc.

as for stats...

greyhome gaunts - can you swap pfc with pfa (pfc is overdone) and change the sv breath (svbr is overdone) to sv para or petri or sv spell? anything but breath
chalice - this is priest only and you're asking players to trade 1 MR (i've been told MR isn't cumulative either) for 4-5 maxwisdom. MR doesn't even work according to some players
fumes - add haste or something :P
pestilence - imho procs aren't good unless they have a high damage effect or a debuff
medallion - can the agi be swapped out for a save and ac be added? if not, just ac? or possibly maxagi? +stat items are going to be weak with the new roller

also can you make pestilence tradeable with swiftwind?

The final quest was entertaining. Good job to whoever made it.

Shargaas said that they were debating quest rewards, so I guess there's a chance something might happen.

Stat Considerations

Postby Klandal » Fri Nov 21, 2003 5:23 am

This quest takes an inordinant amount of time and visits to some of the realms' hardest zones, including rares from them. Enjoyed the quest including the well-done final addition. Just a few comments on the rewards for this epic quest.


Pestilence: Please make it either nodrop or add FLOAT flag to it. Cursing it makes me cringe considering it's already 7d3. Being able to trade it in for Swiftwind would be a bonus. By the way, the bracelet was cursed and not this sword. Perhaps it was done backwards? Please look into it. :)

Bracelet: Please either give it back 4dam or change the -maxstat to a +maxstat. There is no reason easier-to-get bracelets have better stats, including another 3dam PLUSmaxstat with ac item.

Gauntlets: Honestly, I could see these being useful against Tiamat where +hit and -svbr are high priority for hitters. However, at the moment these are simply that: situational gear. Very few hitters would prefer these over several other hand options, especially with them being nothief. Consider adding +dam with slightly less -svbr.

Chalice: Cleric only now... interesting. No-dwarf too... there goes half the cleric population from using it, oh well. As Dartan said, ONE mr < 4-5maxwis. The cleric classes that are able to use it will only do so as PFG while they're waiting in style on smoke to go elsewhere. With the extremely low number of cleric items with mr or pfg, I might actually shift gear to make up for the 4-5maxwis and lost notch IF it had higher mr.

Medallion: Fairly nice new reward. It does need some ac and lower maxagi or sv_ would be preferred. Yes, if you're missing an agi notch it might mean you gain ac wearing this, but only a shot at adding up to the 10ac neckguards would give you along with svsp. One of the only items I could see not changing and be content with as is.


Thanks again for taking the time to bring such a time-honored quest back into the realms.
