Thread: F2P Spell Research

  1. #1

    Default F2P Spell Research

    I have been compiling a bunch of information on the F2P system to identify which spells work in F2P, and which are restricted. So far, I've taken a Cleric, Paladin, Warrior, Bard, Empath, and Monk to 20+ trains. I've also been listening to what went on with Wizards.

    In addition to spells, it is also important to note that mana sharing is not limited. You can share as much mana as your training will allow.

    The "standard" rules for F2P are as follows:

    - All stacking spells are restricted to 2 hours on self-cast and otherwise. You can cast it for more than 2 hours, and it will show up on your spell bar with more than 2 hours duration, but when you do "spell active" command it will display less than 2 hours remaining.
    - F2P characters are blocked from using beneficial "buff" spells on friendly targets save for the 1st spell of this type in each minor spell circle (101, 401, 1204).
    - All room effect spells that are persistent are blocked without a spell pass.
    - All room effect spells that are instant will have a cooldown period (30-90 seconds).
    - All harmful / offensive spells are blocked from being used on other players.
    - All healing and raising spells will be subjected to the "list" mechanic (10 players on the list, no single name may appear more than twice -- First in First out queue).
    - Travel, locate and presence type spells will have a 60 minute cooldown.


    Here is the list of spells tested and how they function for F2P characters:

    F2P wizards can't even cast this just for themselves? That's pretty stupid...

    Yes, you are correct. I just went through and put down the behavior for all the spells. The majority of the spells function the same for both paid and free subscriptions with normal use.

    yeah 911 restriction needs to be lifted, make it just self cast for them instead of a massie.

    Seems odd 611 is self only and castable for free to play but that's probably because it's an 11 mana version of 601. As far as I know the ranger spell circle buffs are self only and can't be cast on others. 619 is a mass spell but fully useable with no cool down as far as I can tell (only know up to 619 on my ranger) however 609 seems to have a cool down and 614 can't be used at all.
