Top Mud Sites Forum - View Single Post - Threshold RPG: Major Changes for Casting Classes

Threshold · 08-03-2006, 04:32 PM

After years of data mining and analysis, tons of player submitted feedback and data, and a number of smaller tweaks to the system over the years, it was decided that the spell component conjuring system needed some major improvements. These changes are quite dramatic, and should result in a very significant improvement in the enjoyability of the various casting classes/guilds. The changes are:
<ul>[*] New skill: components
* This skill is taught when you join the guild, or by using the fix command (type: fix your_guild_name ).
[*] Doubled the total amount of each component you can have conjured. The total for ALL components is now your conjuration school + component skill.
[*] Standardized all conjure times for components to 20 seconds. Overall, this equates to about a 33% reduction in total conjure time for your spells - especially for your most commonly used spells.
[*] Advanced Conjuring (Component Skill: 22)
* In the field conjuring reduced from x4 to x3 casting time.
* Fast conjure room conjuring is 25% faster.
* Max components you can conjure at one time: 7
[*] Conjuration Mastery (Component Skill: 40)
* In the field conjuring reduced from x4 to x2 casting time.
* Fast conjure room conjuring is 50% faster.
* Max components you can conjure at one time: 10
[*] Created a storage room in each guild where components can be deposited for other guildmates to use. Only glevel 15+ casters can withdraw components. All deposits and withdrawals are recorded.
[*] Created a storage room in each guild for raw and purified focus crystals. Deposits and withdrawals are recorded.
[*] Doubled duration of focus crystal bonus conjure speed effect (from 15 minutes to 30 minutes).
[*] Halved the time it takes to purify a focus crystal.
[*] Halved the time it takes to fill a focus crystal with energy (it now also makes use of the new component skill).
[*] New Ability: quickconjure. This will rapidly conjure a small pouch of various components. This is particularly useful in an emergency. [/list]
