Newbie Giveaway: THF (in Contests)

I have a bunch of two-handed flails that I can't seem to sell in auctions, so I'll give them away to newbies.

Rules

• You must have started playing within the past two weeks.
• You must be under 50k PR
• You must post in this thread a short answer to the following question: "Why will you continue to play CB2?"

Are THFs so bad that I can't even give them away? Come on newbies, post so I know who to send to!

hey i started before two weeks ago I am pr 24000. I will continue to play CB because it is a fun game and I am making money off of it.

And in case you don't know, you'll have to unlearn one of your DD spells to use a weapon.

i started yesterday and i'm at about pr 3500. i continue to play cb2 because it's addictive. i only stop playing to have a smoke:)

You stop to smoke? haha, lightweight.

And I guess I have some advice for you, too: Dispel Magic cancels out AMF, so you can only use one of the two on your team.

thanks for the tip, i still have no real idea of what i'm doing. time for a smoke. by the way that doesnt make me a light weight... its hard to play when you have the crave.

I would recomend AMF, but it is your choice

I will continue to play CB2 because its a fun game to play and has many features like auctions, rentals, and the many variety of spells and weapons they have. It also has a great community so it makes the playing enviroment better. Thats why I continue to play CB2.

Your single mage doesn't need a weapon, but take it anyway.

You're not going to get away without advice! I would switch from using leather gauntlets to leather gloves. Gauntlets have a dex penalty, and having 1 more point in AC isn't really worth it.

I played cb2 since about three weeks ago.
i'll continue play cb because It's fun and addictive, I can't wait to increase my pr so I can forge better by myself (low pr addicted to forging). But this forging thing is just for myself, not to become a forger, then I can take part in top 50 items. ;-)

Btw, I join this because I also want to know your oppinion about my character (Vazz), not for that THF, I feel fine with my bastard sword.

No one else seems interested, so I might as well send to you. But since you've asked for it, I can't give you advice :p

Seriously though, your strategy seems to be good, but if your sticking with the single tank/archer, you probably want to get some armour, maybe a Steel Brig. There's a slight dex penalty, but it's normally considered a good trade-off for the extra AC.

And that's all the THFs for now. Good luck to the other newbies out there...

Thank's a lot Maelstrom, for THF and your advice.

Is this still considered as farming? I mean the whole buying things and giving them away to n00bs. I remember getting attacked for doing this.. /shrug.

I don't think farming is even possible in CB2 except for special ammo. I was under the impression items now respawn from the amount of fighting that day, not the amount of items purchased like CB1.

Hi,
Total newb here, Been playing now for my second day, I'm enjoying it, it's fun to keep on fighting, and I'm learning my way around. I plan to make a donation soon so I can be Italicized like everyone else :P

Spaceman, if store empties it will still cause a refresh regardless making it still possible but a THF being slightly worthwhile I don't see a problem.
We are good buds Xiaz but is there really such a need to get down on people trying to do good with giveaways? I spent a few long chatmails explaining to Nixon why it would be simple for you to assume that even though I knew you were in the wrong :)
We want our clan to be seen as a nice clan you get on with it, help out once in a while or at least just stay out of people's hair :P

I collected those THFs over the last couple months, and haven't been able to sell them; it was definitely not farming the store.

Hey now, I'm not accusing Maelstrom of anything. And YES! IT IS A GOOD THING GIVING AWAY ITEMS TO NEW PLAYER! But I had to stop doing it because I what I was doing was technically farming. So if it's changed in CB2, so be it. I'm happy.

Good work Maelstrom.

Look above, he said he has a bunch of THFs he can't seem to sell in auctions. He already had them.
