Elven Cap/Helm (in General)

I really want one... And since the Tats grow so fast and we have to spend so much more exp for Archery and other skills... can't we please have an Elven Cap now?

I wouldn't mind one...

Would any archers really use it?

not really, but a PL or Evasion guy would get a kick out of it...

Or even a tank that needs more Skill for his BL that just dropped below .60 ^_~

evasion would be lovely with this ow yes please do

somehow I don't see this happening.

I'd like one.

Bump... Lost has some Points to post...

lol i think its high time we got one of those :) it can be widely used across the board...

for an archer since with a HOC you normally cant even hit during the 1st round... might as well use an elven helm or a HOE...

junction/pl

UC i think it has needed a boost for like 4ever...

Oh... maybe even give it a boost to UC like Helm's give ^_^

"evasion would be lovely with this ow yes please do"

Just what we need, more Evasion.

</sarcasm>

Agreed Lord Bob, then instead of 15M exp cancelling out my 200M of exp and 100M NW, someone could do it with 10M exp !

"Let's give another buff to RoBF!"
"Good idea!"

I thought you guys hated RoBF :/

I used to advocate for a dex helm. Now with evasion being so powerful, forget it!

I wanna Dex helm. Then I can replace my HoE with the new DX helm, and put more NW into my ST gears, and less EXP into my BL...*smiles* This is a good idea.

I am totally in favor of QBOOTY boosters.

steroids in your booty too, eh?

Don't forget Elven Pants. Those would definitely be a booty booster.

A skill boosting helm would maybe be a good idea, but only if Evasion was nerfed first. Those pure Evasion minions would easily get a 100% boost to Evasion and that's to much free XP from items!

I don't really understand the general complaint of having to put too much into skills like archery and bl. You guys make it sound like these skills don't do anything. Archery brings your cth to 100% for elbow, 90% for every other bow out there. BL gives a wooping 60% damage increase. Why would you not invest experience in that? Junction, on the other hand, is a little underwhelming...

would "ST: 1,717,500 / 750,000*" be too much of a boost? :P

this is not boosted by ToA

The only reason Archery exists to bring CTH up to 100% for bows is because it has an 80% penalty in the first place.

That's like saying only reason why someone gets wheelchair is because he's crippled in the first place. So does that mean all wheelchairs should be free? Nope don't think so. You are still getting significant bang for your bucks from that exp. Without it, you'd be crippled. My point stands.

Ulord - if you took what I posted earlier as a complaint, then don't. It wasn't. ;'D

Think of it more like implants.

Not targeting you specifically Oob. It's just the general sentiment of the post I've read thus far in the changelog and otherwise. Sorry if the posts sounded harsh :P.

I fail to see how that analogy works. I never said archery should cost no exp. I was merely refuting your claim that archery + a bow gives an inherent accuracy advantage vs. say a sling or crossbow.

I can argue bows do a lot more damage than xbows and slings but we all know they each have their distinctive use. That being said, if you want to use a bow for what it does (brute, horrible, impaling death machine), archery exp provides you 100% CTH, up from 20% CTH. Therefore, spending that exp is well justified. The exp is not "wasted" or needs to be buffed so you can "waste" less.

Think about it this way. Bows are early artilleries, super damaging but not very accurate. You don't need 2 billion str to deliver killing blow each round, logically, you should spend more exp in improving its accuracy. And archery does exactly that. Your exp gets its worth.

In other words, archery improves you massively as a bow user. It is not a sunk cost, no more than dex is a sunk cost as you need to train it to hit.
