Item Naming Question (in General)


Adminedyit [Superheros] July 22 2006 6:45 PM EDT

From the naming page
Naming a weapon increases to-hit enchantment by 3% (rounding up) and damage enchantment by 150.
Does that mean if i name an arrow it adds 150 to the X?

I think he's clarified this, let me see if I can find it, or this might be part of the whole ammo bug issue and unresolved.

"The naming bonus to xDmg has been changed to a flat 150 rather than 3%. +hit is unchanged (still 3% rounding up)."


I would assume since he hasn't specifically said otherwise and no one's tested it...someone send over some seekers that are not named and I'll test it.

I don't think this applies to the damage modifier of ammunition though.

I'm still trying to get a set of seekers so I can test this...

Try auctions.

Or specify what type of seekers ;)

Normal  x1 Seekers VRS 0 AC no prot target, using x1 compound bow

Cephas Keken Maug Fighter shot Booni [29955]
Cephas Keken Maug Fighter hit Booni [26207]
Cephas Keken Maug Fighter shot Booni [29241]
Cephas Keken Maug Fighter shot Booni [23409]

After Merging with my named seekers

Cephas Keken Maug Fighter hit Booni [132110]
Cephas Keken Maug Fighter shot Booni [112157]
Cephas Keken Maug Fighter hit Booni [131413]
Cephas Keken Maug Fighter hit Booni [135066]

So that preety much says that naming ammo does likely make it x150 ammo.

So a char starting with a base named ELB and named ammo has a damage potential worlds above a char with an unnamed set.

Can you try merge the seekers with another bundle and see how much it costs for the second option?

AdminShade July 23 2006 4:00 PM EDT

You should notify Jonathan of this, it is atm an exploit, and we don't do exploits.

AdminQBnovice [Cult of the Valaraukar] July 23 2006 4:00 PM EDT

there is a known ammo bug concerning merging, it's like that even merging with another x1 +1 bundle I'd still have an option that would cost money.

I don't think it qualifies as an exploit Shade, it's just a side effect of the changes, It does encourage naming, which from my point of view is a good thing.
