Well, there's 5.7 million post-cap experience finished. Guess I need to find something else to train in now.

[RichardCranium]

Wow, long strokes.

[Sean of the Thread]

Go celebrate by knocking up some random chick at the bar/library.

[Soulpieced]

Actually, I just got engaged last weekend, so that's probably out of the picture.

Sorry to hear the bad news :(

You get one vagina for the rest of your life. Way to think things through.

RP?
Ever?

[Soulpieced]

Sure, grouchy old bard. Haven't changed since I started playing.

[Sean of the Thread]

Are bards typically grouchy?

[Ignot]

There's bards in this game?

425 caps at 74 ranks of MnE.

Put that last one back into bard.

[stallion4]

You hunt OTF or the new Temple for your learning these days, Soulpieced?

[Fallen]

My guess would be OTF. It is the faster fry, even if the creatures in the Temple are slightly older. No pain in the ass swim to deal with and absolutely no chance of death.

Well done, Soulpieced. Makes me feel like I am slacking.

[Danical]

What did your CS cap at?

I think I'm headed for 525/524.

Got about 1m more exp to go.

[Renian]

2x dodge? Just because?

[The Ponzzz]

Wow, very nice SP.

[Soulpieced]

Working on harness power now. Makes a huge difference having more mana.

[stallion4]

What's your total EXP at now, SP?

[AestheticDeath]

13m+

[Soulpieced]

It's that time of the year again. Too many damn skills are maxed now that I moved some CM over to harness power and mana control. Any new skill suggestions for the man who has everything?

[El Burro]

nm

[Fallen]

Catch back up on Cm? Dodge costs are fairly low for a semi. Max that out.

[Soulpieced]

Dodge is comparable to CM in the *not* cheap category. 1 rank of CM = 32/0. 1 rank of dodge = 36/0.

[Stunseed]

Tell me about it. I'm starting to double up in CM and it sucks ass.

[Hulkein]

How do you still get any joy out of that game, SP?

[Ignot]

How do you still get any joy out of that game, SP?

Yeah i mean, you already beat Gemstone.

[Drew]

How do you still get any joy out of that game, SP?

It's like people who enjoy making master files of everything in an RPG. Every item maxed, every quest ticked, every skill maxed, etc.

[Drew]

I also wonder if a character will ever master every available skill.

[Dwarven Empath]

Now I have 3 things maxed!

Two-Handed Weapons.................| 201 101

Woohoo

Medi...

[Latrinsorm]

I also wonder if a character will ever master every available skill.Not for a long time. Bards are in one of the best positions of all the professions, though. If you could absorb 1500 an hour every hour for 4 years (after capping, and the estimate includes XXX effects), you'd pretty much have it done. It scales pretty well, so if you only spend 8 hours a day (every day) it'll take about 12 years.

[Fallen]

If the game goes on long enough Tsin will likely have all the useful ones learned.

[Drew]

What number do you need? 50 million exp? And yeah, if Tsin continues at his current rate he'll likely be the person to do so. It's too bad that he's a rogue, I'd much rather see a semi with maxed skills.

[Fallen]

I mean, after a while, a lot of the skills are crap. You would be picking up your third/fourth weapon type, or training in a lore that has absolutely no use to you.

It would be nice if you could trade in 100 TPs or so for 1 level's worth of maneuver defense, or 500 TPs for 1 point to allocate how you wish to your stats (only up to 100 per stat).

[Latrinsorm]

57 or so million for the bard, yeah. It depends a little on how the first 100 levels go, TP-wise, but it's not going to make a huge difference either way. It's more like 64 million for a rogue.

[Artha]

What do you even do when you max all your skills?

I guess you try to detach yourself from your chair and sob openly, but aside from that.

[Danical]

Trading.

I like my 192 ranks and 20 inf bonus worth of trading.

[davyd]

when your character gets to lvl 100 do you still get TPs to put in skills?

[Drew]

when your character gets to lvl 100 do you still get TPs to put in skills?


Yes, you get 1 PTP and 1 MTP per 2500 exp as I recall.

[bubbauno]

Halfway there.. Nothing left to train in but magic stuff and i'm startin to feel like a waggler with full 1x in spells, share and just nearly max mana now..

Level: 100 Deeds: 19
Experience: 24518151 Death's Sting: None
Exp. to next TP: 1849 Recent Deaths: 1
Mental TPs: 0 Fame: 763840715
Physical TPs: 33 Mana: 138/138 max
(3326 Phy converted to Mnt)

[Drew]

You've maxed armour use, THW, MOC, CM, ambush, PF, and dodge?

[Dwarven Empath]

"Level: 100 Deeds: 19
Experience: 24518151"

Damn Tsin you have almost twice as much exp then I do. Wow.

not even half way is not nearly maxed...

[Fallen]

How much mana do you get for 1x? I doubt rogues can 2x Harness Power.

[GS4-D]

Rogues can't 2x harness power. Max mana at cap with fully 1x HP is around 305. More or less depending on what your mana stat is.

[Shalla]

LMAO!

[Celephais]

101 ranks at lvl 100 = 301 mana. Plus the starting stat bonus.

[GS4-D]

There you go. 301, around 305 same difference.

[Dropped_In]

Actually, I just got engaged last weekend, so that's probably out of the picture.

And yet you never made a post titled "I got engaged!" but you did make a post titled "One more skill down..."

[bubbauno]

SP got engaged? Another one bites the dust..

[Drew]

And yet you never made a post titled "I got engaged!" but you did make a post titled "One more skill down..."


Amazing, this being a Gemstone board and all.

[Dropped_In]

Excellent observation

Heh, I love that reason for edit box... FYI it's right next to the "delete message" button if you want to delete your post. (or just send a message to the mods and ask to have your entire account deleted).

So here are my choices in my current leaning order of preference.

1. To 1x: Mental mana control (more mana per pulse, most useful).
2. To 2x: Physical Fitness (help in maneuvers?)
3. To 2x: Combat Maneuvers

You decide.

[Fallen]

If you wanted to try something new and different you could go 2x PT and have fun in Warcamps, Soulpieced. How long have you been hunting OTF? Since it opened?

[Inspire]

That would be fun to watch.

[Durgrimst]

I don't know if your willing, but I would like to see how you are trained now, I have seen clips in the post cap thread, but the whole shot would be nice.

In GS3, I got destroyed in OTF (the original scout mechanics made it all but unhuntable). I was probably in my mid 120's at the time and picked to 159. Then the game converted to GSIV sometime in 2004(?) and I went back at level 100 and have pretty much just been hunting there since.
