I have read about the curse spell a few times on H & A over the past few weeks and something puzzles me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why would you cast it in rune armour & dragon vambs to make the spell fail? I am sure there is a perfectly logical explanation but I can't for the life of me work it out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many thanks

Its simple:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You still get the same amount of Xp whether or not your fail cure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By failing curse if saves you having to keep swapping monsters to curse on, while the spell remains in effect... So you save time just cursing the same foe over and over.

Easy,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you fail the spell you still get the exp for it. However, if your curse spell is succesfull, your target is cursed for a couple of seconds. During this period you cannot cast the spell at him again. By failing the spell you can continuously cast curse on your target, giving you the fastest exp.

1. I knew it would be that simple #-o

 

 

 

2. I knew it would be you who replied as it was your advise I was querying :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for getting back so quickly

You're welcome, fellow Tip.Iter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And speed is my middle name. :anxious:

You can fail other spells deliberately, it's just that there is no loss from doing so with curse (or weaken / confuse, if below curse level).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strikes can be failed, with the advantage that you can carry on autocasting until timed out or randomed, but the disadvantage that it is lower XP per shot, and the runes tend to be more expensive, and you give up the additional XP (to magic and HP) that would be gained from hits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The advantage of failed strikes, is you could do them while browsing forums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From curse level (19) to about 10-15 levels more, curse failing is quite a fast and effective way to level, but boring as hell at higher levels - the mage equivalent of power mining.

That's what she said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh come on, you had to see that coming right?

If you look at Forum Suggestions, you'll see why people need to edit their titles to reduce further posting of spam or pointless reponses...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doomster kinda of clarified my point by posting the exact same repsonse that i did, plus some information about strikes being failed, which he didn't ask for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, i've no idea why Dragon-Reborn said that. :-s

You'll find out. Oh, you just wait a couple years.

Hm, if you're trying to imply that im young, you're very much mistaken...

 

 

 

If you're trying to put a use of a drug into context, then you're clearly much to humerous for me to comply with.

Just got back from lunch at work to see 'trouble at mill' on my thread!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have got the info I need now, my bad for not knowing the obvious answer in the first place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gin and 'Speed' Tonic thanks again

another reason the wear those is it's the only way to achive the -65 mage bonus necessary to fail in F2P.

Nah, it's not about drugs. It's about sexual incompetance. All in good fun.
