Patch Message 7/10/01
Impatiens Pallida
July 10th, 3:00 am
------------------------------
** Bug Fixes **
- The "NPC unerringly sticks on pet" AI bug
implemented in the last patch has been fixed.
This resolves a bug that occurred a short while
ago that would cause pets to be the focus for
most attacks by NPCs.
- Fixed the animation problem where an animation
played on the upper body would get stuck. This
could be seen by starting to cast a spell and
then walking forward while it was playing the
casting animation.
- Fixed a bug that wouldn't allow a player to
target an invisible PC or NPC with the F7 or F8
keys even if they had See Invisible up.
- Stacking issues with 'change form' type spells
have been corrected. Lich and Clarity will no
longer stack, nor will Spirit of Wolf and Wolf
Form.
- The bug with screenshots that some people
experienced when using 32-bit color mode should
be fixed.
** Item and Vendor Adjustments **
- Changed the forged Antonian Javelins to be
stackable.
- Gnome Skin Sleeves are now droppable and
rentable.
- Spiderling and Spider Silks are now stackable
- Spider Legs are now stackable.
- Tarnished weapons worth slightly more to the
vendors than the rusty ones.
- Reduced the weight of the monk only Black
Pantherskin armor.
- All Sheets of metal and Folded Sheets of metal
are now stackable.
- Rangers will now be able to wear Girdle of
Reflection
- There is now a vendor in Felwithe that sells
the Enchant Ores series of enchanter spells.
** Zone and Quest Changes **
- The Crazed Ghouls should be less of a problem
in Unrest.
- The Monk red headband quest should now be
available again.
- We've added a few more Yew Leaf spawns.
- Reevaluated the values of the various fish
fillets. All fish vendors should return to
normal, but they won't be paying as well for
certain fishy items. This resolves a problem
that was created with the increased value of
player made food items all over Norrath. Some
of food items were made too valuable, and
merchants were complaining to their union
leaders...

Wonder if they'll do this at the UK event?
And if they get the title, the duelist, does that then move to their primary
character? As they are playing a pre grenerated one.
Still, sounds like fun.

Not been to Gencon since it moved from Loughboro uni.
This year I heard they were trying to attract more of the PC gaming

Sorry but telling me to carry a sewing kit is like teaching your grandmother
to suck eggs.
I meant, for all those "True" newbies that don't have the spare money to buy
a small sewing kit (armour and weapons and backpacks come first) this will
help as they sell to merchants for a few gold each, not to mention more to
players. I was one of those newbies, in Nek, having to return to Neriak
everytime I'd filled my bags with Silks.

Agreed. both of these changes should be a benefit to newbies who cannot find/afford

I'm going to have to run over there. It will be interesting to see how they "fixed"
this. Probably much the same way as they fixed Najena. Either way, well done,
Verant. Najena was ruined for low level players for a while there. Good to see they
addressed this.

Again......... WOO FUCKING HOO!!!!! I'm still one head short. This issue was
addressed on the bug reporting forum on their home page, and I knew it was being
looked into. Glad they found the problem.

I know some people will bitch about this, but it really doesn't affect me. The only
person in our regular group who does massive baking doesn't do it to sell the items
back for whatever meager profit you can make and a bad case of carpal tunnel. She
makes fish based products (and others) that are banquet sized or large meals. This
way I can carry stacks of them around Vellious for weeks without having to run back
to town for more food at inflated prices.

OK the operative word in my post was NEWBIE.
You remember being one? not knowing all the little things like selling
bonechips to players or combining silks?
Right assuming you do...Tell me where in Neriak you can buy a Large Sewing
kit and on top of that, one for the same as a Large Backpack?
Answer...You CAN'T!
Only small sewing kits are available in neriak and although this would still
enable you to make silk swatches and threads (and then bandages, but not
cord) it is not likely of importance to a 4th level character to whom 1pp is
a fortune.
Secondly,
Large Backpack 8slots wt 3
Large Sewing kit 8slots wt3
Deluxe Sewing kit 10 slots wt4 (No longer available, I carry 1 and have 2 in
the bank)
Large (Tailored) Backpack 10slot wt3 10% wt reduction (Give me a HQ pelt and
I'll make you one)
My original comment was that these items now stacking will help the newbies
in Nek (where there are a lot of spiders but as their drops did not stack it
meant for a lot of trips back to the Neriak to sell) Of course I agree that
getting a sowing kit is the way forward as stacks of swatches sell to
players for more BUT...it's not an option at real low levels.
CF
If I wanted to know anything more about tailoring, I'd ask Lokari.
Anita L.
sewing kit weighs the same. Personally, I really like that silks are
stackable now. I'll probably accumulate them now, rather than just
destroying them because they take up too many slots. Then I'll just pass 'em
along to some fledgling tailor.

Again tell this to my monk... Hint he can't hold a backpack right now and work
on 1HB. I knowI need to upgrade my armor/weapons but hunting for my bracer
quests can weight quite a bit sometimes...
And I actually can hold the backpack, I just can't loot anything after that.

Not to mention you don't need to buy a large sewing kit. You can get
the two slot one that only weighs .3 or .5 whichever it is. That's good
enough for making swatches away from home.

Afaik this was already fixed a while ago. Yesterday I couldn't get the Sand
Giants to stick to my water pet at all. Had to use a earth one and malise
the Giant. Even then it still wanted to go to me.

Good I guess. Haven't seen or heard this one haapen.

Ah, so that's why. I always knew /assist is buggy and slow from time to time
but f7 & f8 always worked. Last night was the other way around. The only way
to actually target a mob fast was F2 (group nr 1, main tank in this case)
and then hit my hotkeyed /assist. Good fix I hope.

This will be a grat boon to all those enchanters who didn't have the nerve

would benefit from this one.

Typical. I spent about 4 hours last night arranging a compicated scheme to
obtain this spell on Sullon Zek and first thing this morning they change it.
I know they did it *just* to annoy me.

<sigh>
If you haven't played a monk, I don't think you can understand the weight
issue. I'm not going to carry a 2-slot container that weighs either .3 or
.5. Instead I'm going to carry a 6-slot, 25% weight reducing pack that
weighs 0.4 and just destroy the silks that drop in Dreadlands.
Now with the patch, I might keep a stack of them to give away.
I can't believe that folks can't see that making silks stackable is a GOOD
thing! Both for poor newbies and for monks. Or anyone else who hates to
destroy stuff that someone might be able to use. In all the groups I've been
in Dreadlands, only ONE PERSON actually made swatches with the silks. I can
guarantee you that the rest of the people are just destroying them.

Nothing to do with spells. The yew leaves are used as
a leather tanin for tailoring some new velious armors.
Like the Black panther armor.

Large sewing kits are back down to 8 slot. Any "large" sewing kits you
bought before the change back are now called "deluxe," and are not
purchasable (except, perhaps, if someone sold one to a vendor).
Regular backpacks have always had 8 slots.

Eh, if you were smart you would have INVESTED in a small sewing kit. It
would have quickly paid for itself.
Now the point is moot, of course.

No the point isn't moot.
FFS, I was 4th level, I'd just started playing the game, I was meant to know
that?
Jesus Christ in a Taxi cab!...You may have read all the literature you could
on the subject but I learnt the hard way, by playing the game and I assume
others did too...maybe I'm wrong, perhaps everyone, like you seem to have,
down loaded all the playing guides and bought all the hint books but I
learnt as I went up levels and met people...I didn't give tells to strangers
asking for advice, equipment or whatever I just got on with, died a lot but
got on with it sorry if that was wrong.
You may have forgotten what Newbie means, it doesn't mean that new character
you have just started, or that 15th level warrior you just passed some spare
equipment to. It means that player that is finding his/her feet in the game.
Does anyone not remember going into BlackBurrow for the first time and being
"scared" you do it now with an alt and it's a walk in the park, you still
get trains, sure but you know when to run or where to run to where your
corpse is retrievable.

I have a 60 monk, actually. I can understand the weight issue. Half a
pound never killed anyone. I've carried a sewing kit the whole life of
my character, Even the large one for awhile when they nerfed it and made
it three pounds. I carry the small two-slot one now.

Although your logic holds up to a point, you'll be able to pack more silk out
now than you could before.
Follow me if you will
assume you are a real newbie who has scraped enough cash together to
buy that large sewing kit.
Examine your slots. Fully kitted out to hunt spiderlings you have
Food
Water
large Sewing kit
five empty slots
You can hold a total of 101 swatches, plus 7 silks, old way
Why? Becuase once you get that 101st one made, there is
no longer an empty kit to make more swatches in! Total
load out is 208 spiderling silks
New system, you can take a backpack and fill it with 8 stacks
of silks, that's 160 silks right there, plus you still have the five
slots open for 100 more. Presto, you can carry 260 silks without
having to do any tailoring or juggling at all, and at a substantially
lower cost.
Alternately you can eschew the pack, for the truely broke, and
gather 120 silks up at a run, flat busted. For the monks, this also
represents a -massive- savings in weight. Buy that sewing kit,
stick it in the bank, and pull it out to tailor there, where your
AC penalty for hauling out that 3 stone kit doesn't skewer you.
Although I carry 4 delux sewing kits with me, I still frequently
used to end up destroying silks because I literally didn't have
an empty kit on me to do those combines in. Further, since
I'm not a tailor, just collecting them to hand out as favors, I
really didn't care to bother with the effort. Stackable silks,
though, heck, why not? Won't throw out a stack unless I run
out of room and have nothing less valuable to chuck!
Crystaline silks off the spiders in CC worked this way before,
and I came out of just one camp there with enough on me
to allow my tailor buddy to fully kit out my necroling in
crystalline silk wear just as a lark (and incedentally to give him
several skill ups without the nuisance of reinforced leather work)

About time...

I remember very well being a newbie. It was back before there were very
many sites giving out information. A friend of mine decided he wanted to
become a tailor, and, since it sounded kinda cool, I started tailoring as
well.
THEN I went looking for tailoring sites (can't remember if Lokari's site was
up that early...4/99?) for recipes, and THEN is when I found out about
silks. Of course, back then spiderling silks were useless, but had I
started 2 years later I would have known much earlier how handy my patchwork
(well, that's what I was using it for) sewing kit actually was.
Very shortly after starting to play you came to this newsgroup, IIRC. You
took advantage of that than I did. Just because you didn't know about
sewing kits doesn't mean that NO newbie would.
I also wasn't afraid to ask questions in /ooc. Not sure why you didn't want
to do that.
I remember when a mino axe was a good weapon that went for 8p. Runed Totem
Staffs for more than 20p. That THE best weapon for my mage would have been
Staff of the Observers (seriously uber).
I remember /oocing asking if anyone sees my corpse in GFay...I died near a
big tree stump.
I remember learning what /loc was
I remember learning that if I'm going to die, for GOD's sake try to die on a
path.
I remember not knowing what Bind was...and when finding out, and not finding
it on my spell list, I /petitioned and was told by a GM that I got it at
level 14 (my cleric).
I remember getting kinda dizzy running up and down the little hills of
Butcherblock.
I remember being a newbie.

They did allow a necro to regain mana at a rather quick rate. I'd
consider it more of a bug fix than a nerf though since it was only
introduced in the last patch.
I wonder if they fixed Firefist and Celestial Fists not co-existing
well. I doubt it. That issue basically makes Velious monk boots
worthless to monks who have their epic.

I'd seen it quite a few times. Cast SOW and start running before the

As did I but the levels I'm talking about are 7th and lower (Nek forest is
bit naff after that)
The tailoring site I did visit was actually Lokari's (I was amused to find
after coming here)

Hardly, I came to this NG early this year, I started playing last february

What, out of the blue just say /ooc is there anyway of carrying more spider
silks?
they didn't stack, that was it as far as I was concerned, I didn't know
enough about the game to question anything about it. .
I learnt about combining them in a sewing kit when I was about 9th or 10th
level, I was in hunting out of Qeynos then.
>
> I remember being a newbie.
OK, I didn't really think you wouldn't. The general hunting levels in Nek
forest is 1 - 8, after then there isn't much to keep you going (bridge
guards are constantly dead so hunting in the south part isn't all that safe)
If you were tailoring before then good on you, I wasn't (although I suppose
I could have, I had enough to pay for 10pp for a port when I was 7th or 8th)
I don't think that many newbies under 5th level know about tailoring or
think about spending the few gold they have on a small sewing kit.

You bring up a good point, don't you think epic effects should stack with
EVREYTHING. If you go thought the months of planning and what not, shouldn't
your effects work with things, instead of cancelling them out (thus making only a
minur gain).

It most definitely wasn't fixed as of this weekend. I had to make
some serious changes in my style of play to not get my pet killed
in almost every fight. If I sent him in too early (especially against
non-runners like sabertooths and rhinos) they would go after
him the first time he cast, and they stuck on him. A level 29 pet,
and the only person who could take back the mob from him after
he got it was a level 40 monk.
Soloing a bit in OT Sunday night, I was taking down a tigress when
I got a stoneleer add. Finished the tigress off, then tried to pull the
stoneleer to me by dumping the rest of my mana (didn't want to lose
my pet, and figured I could tank it long enough) - I couldn't get it loose,
2 blazes and I went up and sat between it and my pet, and it ignored
me. Fortunately the blow that killed my pet also did enough damage
to the stoneleer (inferno shield was up) that it turned to run.

I saw it on my Iksar a few times. It looked rather funny. Too bad they
changed it.
Dream King
Well... I'm not sure it needs to stack with EVERYTHING but it should at
least stack with all of your class specific armor effects. It used to
before the last patch. Sure, it's nice that Shissar and such stack with
the epic effect now but geez, not working with my class specific stuff
is a bit much. As it is now my velious boots are sitting in my bank
since they are worthless. The only reason I used to carry them around
previously was for the buff.

I'd argue the opposite. True new players learn quickly that to get the
most out of limited carrying space, keep stackables - especially ones that
pay well per unit, like silks do. I think we'll see a LOT more. And cleaning
them out of the vendor will be easier, too.

Um - if you're going to be going into town anyway, you don't need to
bother buying a sewing kit. Use the town's local stationary sewing kit
(this was what I was doing to get more silks at a time before they made

Newbie sewing story: it took me three characters to figure out how to
sew. I won't even bother counting the number of sewing kits,
instructions, and pelts sold in disgust when I couldn't figure it out. I
kept asking everybody I saw who was a tailor "what do I do?" and they'd
say "combine a ruined pelt and a pattern" and I'd say "I AM!" and sulk at
my sewing kit because it was 'broken'.
Then I discovered the difference between 'instructions' and 'patterns'.

Hell, even for non-newbies, this is a nice change. I've long
gotten beyond the point where I need Spider(ling) Silks, *or*
want to bother with placing newly found silks into a tailoring
kit, combining, and then tossing the resulting threads/swatches
on a stack every time I loot something that drops silks.
However now that silks stack, I don't mind taking the
minimal amount of time it takes to right-click-loot the
silks, then later pass them along to a guildmate or other
player who wants to work on their tailoring.
Before, it was just too much of a busy-work pain to bother with.

I remember running a dwarf paladin to the docks in bb, and

appear, or learn where it might go. Finally I ran up to a
dwarf warror PC and asked him the same thing. He laughed, and

I thanked him for the info. Then I asked him how much it
cost to ride the boat.

I think it's a great thing. That doesn't mean that you aren't throwing a

And before the change, I have regularly carried a sewing kit for the last week
to make swatches. Actually, I still have it on me.

You should buy medicine bags, only six slots but very light.
As far as I can tell the only thing stackable spiderling and spider silks do is
make the small sewing kit obsolete. Why carry a sewing kit when you can now
carry a stack of silks back to the bank.

than what they are providing. Example: If I chose a shaman, what gear am I
getting battle shaman gear or wis gear. If I choose a war am I getting resist
gear, ac gear, ability gear, 2 1HS, 2HS, bow? All this information will make a
big differnece in how I woudl approach the battle. Or are we given a pile of
armor to choose from, so If I'm going against a shaman, I can take out my CR

I think this could be a great event, and even better if they let you pick out

Nektulos is a tough newbie zone. Bind point out of sight of the guards, no
path to Neriak, confusing paths overall, red critters aggroing newbies if
you take one step too many.
Hmmm, sorta sounds like GFay. :)
You had 10p to waste on a port at level 7?? When I was in Oasis around
level 16 with my druid (4 months into the game) Demoness on The Rathe
auctioned for a SoW. I ran to her, cast it, and she gave me 10p. This was
more than 10x what I had in the bank at the time, and probably EQUALED the
maximum amount of money ANY of my characters (about 4 long-term by that
time) had at any time. Wow, to me that was a lot of money.

Hehe yeah I remembered worrying about the boat cost too (during the first
year all my long-term characters were born on Faydwer...actually, that's
still the case), considering I didn't even have enough money to replace the
fishing pole that just broke.

>can't remember if Lokari's site was up that early...4/99?
It wasn't even a Word document yet then. I started my own tailoring
efforts with my second character - next time I'm on I'll try to
remember to check his birthdate. Pretty sure it wasn't in 1999 at all,
though.
And if I had known when I started how much time I'd ultimately put
into the Guide, I'd have hidden under my bed instead.

I'm one of those people who collects the silk and I almost screamed
when, upon finding out I wanted silk, a warrior in group said 'ok, I
won't destroy them then' the other night :) And pack space helps both
at high and low levels - I'm occasionally carrying enough junk to have
to drop stuff on the ground to use my sewing kit.

When I was in Kurn's Tower collecting the 8,000 Bone Chips (yes,
really) required to get my Dwarf Paladin on good faction standing
with Cabilis, I'd routinely do a /shout threatening to /bonk

Ok well then I'll concede that you learned about Tailoring or trade skills
in general a lot sooner than me. At 5th I was trying to max out 2hs with a
bronze 2hded sword I had no time to think about trade skills, they were for
high level characters to waste their time on, or so I though at the time.
At around 6 or 7th I started keeping bonechips instead of selling them to
merchants, I had seen the build up of a Hate raid for the first time,
players offering 5pp for stacks of Bone chips...there is no shortage of
skeletons in Nek. By the time I left Nek I prolly had 50pp, wielded a SBH
