I think there need to be more (if there are any) pieces of caster
equipment for the individual arms slots. Also maybe some midbie
caster equipment for the individual legs, and probably some for the

slots as well.

Using the followup command, maybe it'll add up to the list
whatshisface wanted in one post.
Midbie individual gloves slots, left glove for one. Maybe a midbie
level shield With high holy res, +a bunch of some fig stat, wc50+
would be cool. Dark red shield's the next one above black monk
and dai-shield shields.
For weapons.. maybe whips and clubs with damage types of midbie
level. I don't know of any whips above spidranox webbing
stats, so it must be pretty rare whatever it is. :)
I think casters may need armors with high magic, fire, poison,
other stuff resistance, they just don't know it till a red
dragon or fergus' crazy areas kill them hard.

The current rules for eq-stats has only a few levels,
so when the monster size passes some particular number,
it's eq gets a large swing up.
If for example 12spr is largest allowed on a 1m monster, a 13spr
piece whould require a 2m monster.

Your numbers are a little off there. Obviously there are many 13-20

Erm, eq around is:
Azarian cloak (event)
Mistweaver cloak (old/new), 400k
Grey Woolen Cloak, 400k
White Stole, 400kish
Vorysis Boots, 400k
Fifth Boots, 400k
Azarian boots (event)
Vory, and fifth are 8 spr or below.
Next eq in each slot appears to be blackmons cloak, and blackmons
boots for caster. So a little more varity is being asked for.
1m monsters can easy give 20spr items with some little stats.

My numbers are off on purpose, because the exact numbers may be

There whould probably be more varity if we had more eq-class-levels,
like one for each monster-level, instead of one for each tenth
monster-level. But then the admins have to change into the system.
If a builder is allowed to give 20spr to an item, he probably doesn't
feel like giving it only 17spr to increase varity. Then his monster
whould be fighted less often.

No one is forcing any coder to give every piece of eq the max allowed stats.
If a builder's monster is somewhat easier than another, it should
give less stats,
even if it is allowed to have the same stats.
I admit that often times I give max stats to eq. But not always. And
I think many people
would argue that my monsters in general are tougher than the average and maybe
deserve those stats.
The worst problem is with spr. If you do not give your item max spr,
no one will use it,
because no other stat is even close in importance. Fighter stats
matter less so. A fig may
use an item for any number of reasons, so it is unclear which of a
particular slot is
the 'best' (in most cases).
It would be nice if the spr issue was resolved, but I can't think of
a good way
to fix it atm.
As far as worring about your monsters being fought less often, it
would be nice if
we lost the attitude that a certain builder or wizard 'wins' if more
people go to their area.
I feel that you have really made a good area if people go there no
more / no less than any other
area. It means you coded something that was in tune with the mud.
Congratulations.

Guild skill/mastery bonus items. For example psychic skill bonus items could
include darkened mind, lore of the elders, brewing lore, or mastery of
seeing. Abjurer could have protection ritual, lengthen/strengthen
abjuration, find weakness, master of vulnerability, etc. Animists bonus eq
could have skill bonuses such as animal empathy, lore of soil shamans, focus
crystal energy, ritual of creation, etc. Different power level items could
focus on higher or lower ranking skills.
These items would encourage a variety of eq use, depending on guild. Perhaps
a +15spr +5% mastery item would be better than a +25spr item. Would redefine
'top slot' eq and certainly give incentive to kill different monsters. -Zyz

headband of dion warwick already has 5% lore of the elders bonus,
just that they're pretty difficult to get *coughshoul
beuppedasitis*, but the problem with wanting guild specific skill
bonuses is, particularly for casters, like Snoop said, won't be used
by those people that teh skill bonuses are designed for.
Now, eq that has gives a bonus to some mastery no matter your guild
(most guilds have masteries now), that would be nice.
So if you're witch, you get 5% lore, if you're earth mage, you get
5% mastery of earth, etc.

int and wis used to be quite uninteresting since they increased
not only effect of spells but also spellcost, while regen bonus
was a plain bonus.
Now when i checked, my spellcosts went down rather than up
when wearing caster eq, so i guess the problem has
already been solved. int and wis should now be about as
interesting as sp-regen.
str,dex is similar.

Guildmasters have been unkillable for a long long time now, and only
three have made their way back into the game.
Any chance all the old gm eq can be re-examined or something based
on how many there are in the game and modify their stats based on
that?
Stuff like the Karoz and Kinjo armbands weren't that good, but those
two and the old master psychics guild GM eq, Dion headband, are
guilds no longer in the game.
Atleast if they were given better stats people would still have a
reason to buy/sell this eq and people would want them for more than
just collector's items.

The Mud needs more bard eq.
Maybe a new area devoted with lowbie/midbie bard eq.
Equipment with all kinds of stats, both fig and caster stats combined.
Now we have two kinds of eq, the eq that gives +str/dex/con and the
ones that gives +spr/wis/int. We don't got much with like
+5str,+3wis,+7cha,+5erp.
I have heard that Bards need a great deal in all stats, and with the
eq the mud holds now it is not possible to get a good bard. This
might be one of the reasons there are so few bards, but on the other
hand, it may not.
only my two cents.

Both are being taken care of as we speak. Some information on
specific slots needed would certainly help though. I've kinda lost
touch with what a woodsman needs (ie: eq that isnt available but
would be nice to be able to aquire) for xp and last time I was bard
I idled for 3 days before using a free reinc =j
Anyone with ideas on what is needed as far as slots/stats and so
forth, feel free to mudmail me with what you think we need more of.
Please refrain from asking for skill/spell bonuses though. They will
only be in the special eq that I make =j

I'm idling watching a semi-old movie here, the substitute

Maybe a bored coder up there could make some kind of bard
eq yoyo with +cha(for being deceptive)
and +throwing skills. Would be a whipping
style weapon the player can wield normally but also
work with the throwing skills for more damage(and return to
your hand if it doesn't stick in the target maybe.)
Just.. and I just thought of something else..
there should be a skill somewhere in the thief/assassin tree
where whipping weapons can be used to strangle/damage a target.
Wouldn't stun them since they could still flail about, but maybe
prevent wimpies and hold them in the room?
Suppose that skill idea goes in ideas, but
some weapons could be made to work with it if it exists. :)

The first would be cool for use outside

remember maxxing jugglers to get to a bravo guild, but not bothering
to train any skills cause stabs were cool and retrieving thrown
knives and rewielding to rethrow seemed too
tedious for me to experiment with for lack of triggers. :)
If I had a stack of boomerangs I could just hurl at some monster
without having to do 2 other commands between each throw,
I might've tried out jugglers even with a low worth.
Anyway. Boomerangs seem like a cool enough throwing
weapon to make. could sneak em into the hands
of aboriginals or something maybe.
