Our_Moon Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 any idea how level mod works? i've done dungeons where I've got 7%, and others have got 10% or 8%. it isnt the save for everyone o.othat's a very intriguing observation, perhaps it's a function of how many monsters you in particular killed.or maybe it's a function of the monsters you were around. we could have a leech follow the GD's and not kill anything and double check. then we could have a leech run to a far corner of the map far away from GD's and check again. I'd really like to know what comes of this test; level mod doesn't affect base experience, though, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaf Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm wondering whether a Primal Maul will be better than a Gorg 2h when my third bind is a CCS with a Surgebox. It seems that most things that are weak to crush are also weak to Magic (Forgotten Warriors with plates, Earth warriors, Fire giants etc). Is the accuracy of a Maul good enough on monsters that are weaker to slash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyaxol Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 So, with new members having to use this upcoming application form to become a recruit, does that mean that people like me would have to use the application form? I've been in the clan chat for a good month now (actually started using it back in April, but took a good few months break), and just waiting for the chance to get ranked (obviously need to dunge with ranked Keyers than just other recruits more often). Also, until the application form comes out, is it even possible to get ranked anymore by reccomendations, or are you stopping ranking until you sort the form out? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 We'll be finalizing the application process very soon. Hang tight. ;) To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaf Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 By the way I seem to have found a use for the starting table... if the guy with the GGS puts it on the table, then said person becomes the GGS, until it is taken off.yup a few of us have messed with ppl in w117 or wherever with thiswe could not think of any real applications, thoughIf you put the GGS on the table, then exit to lobby and return to the dungeon, then the GGS teleport and portal will not work. There is no message in the chatbox to acknowledge that you've clicked the spell or tried to enter the portal. It's a pity, since it may have had some use if the leader became the GT after whoever placed it on the table exits to lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cow Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 They have to come up with new trivia :P . There is a thread to suggest new trivia, but I think its only available to ranked members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtaurian Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 We've been working hard on the new application and ranking system, so the trivia is on the back burner right now. It does seem like the trivia is bi-monthly rather than weekly, though, and for that I apologize - we usually try to make it as interesting as possible, so the trivia kinda happens as soon as someone thinks of something cool rather than on certain dates. The application system is just about done. Sorry for the delay, but it'll be well worth it. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calisme Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I just bound a blood necklace(w00t!), along with my primal baxe and ssh. I know to constantly surround myself with as many monsters as possible, but is there anything more to it than that? Don't attack level 3 bats and books, of course, as the BN will one-hit them. If anyone has any extra tips on maximizing the use of my BN, let me know. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articultural Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 On the second form of Flesh, it will heal you 240 LP every 15 seconds, making it almost impossible to die if you have prayer (assuming you're standing next to flesh + all 5 spawns).

Jmmy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Not that anyone will care, but I've decided to leave DGS. However this post is not going to rant about the clan is any way whatsoever. I only left because of a girl (odear). When I was hardcore dging with you guys, back in November/December/January I think, it was brilliant. Could not have asked for a better group of teachers. I have spent the last couple months maxing out (as Ousekeys may have noticed, as we were both miles ahead of anyone else in the clan for xp gained, but usually within 1-2m of each other. Fair play to you!). But now it's time for me to dg again. Only I have to key every floor I do for someone else :P Going to be happily keying for 2-3 randoms every floor in 148 on my way to 120. Thanks again to everyone involved with making DGS a fantastic teaching clan.Keep up the hard work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Oh well Jmmy :( Wondered why I didn't see you dg'ing much with us anymore.Take care now ;D! In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articultural Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Because if mage would be more DPS than a gorg 2h on monsters, there's no reason to use a gorg 2h when you have a CCS bound. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notasoupbowl Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Fire surge ccs w/ blazer would likely be slightly better than gorg 2h on most monsters.However, you would waste a ton of time crafting runes.If you are at ht making runes and not running paths, you're a bad dnger.Air surge on the other hand with ccs is very likely worse than gorg 2h on the majority of monsters.

It IS the better option.The thing is that it's 2 tiers lower than Primal. Since I don't plan to train Attack in the near future for PvP purposes, I don't have access to Promethium weapons.Maybe 99% of people don't have their Attack 19 levels lower than their Str?and how is it "not the point" to ask which enemies a 2h would be better on than a maul? I can't really decide just based on a simple statement of "XXX is better". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPMC Mate Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This is what TUI told me when I asked her this:Is there a reason the 2 tier difference rule (if your str is 2 tiers higher than atk' date=' use maul) exists?[/quote']The idea is that given enough tier difference that the extra dps against crush weak monsters would be worth the inaccuracy on slash weak monsters.But for example, Primal maul: 185 crush, 166 strVs Gorg 2h: 145 slash, 121 crush, 141 strI'd choose gorg 2hWe don't have any numbers on the crush defenses of slash weak monsters, so this is purely speculation, but mauls in general are a lot worse than 2h'ers, so we have the rule for odd accounts that are say, 60 attack 99 str, and to disallow most players from using maul over 2hs of similar tiers because it's [cabbage]. Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
