I'm already in a guild consisting of all my friends from high school (about 15 of us), so I'm wouldn't join an ns guild, however if anyone wants to ask any questions, get buying/selling prices for items, needs an escort to a certain town, etc, you can PM me at whichever of the following names I'm on:
Skyy High The Angry Midget Pasty Face Talon Drakke
I'm very tempted to join the guild, supposed to be creating a new one with a mate of mine but it just wouldn't be the same as being in something more... organised.
Does the ns guild have a celestial sig yet? Wouldn't mind a screenshot with the final cloak design too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I've currently got two characters, a Mo/Me16 called Saint Galen, currently an uber healer (I love divine boon, just a quick orison heals about 130 or so iirc). I've also got a Me/Ele8 that I plan to specialise in interrupts and damage dealing... we'll have to see I guess as I keep having new ideas to try out), that one is called Sieme Ees.
Just reached... I think it's called Neebo's Terrace with my monk, got my capture sig and will be picking up an elite heal soon. Always looking for people to party with so if you see me make sure to say hi <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Jesus H Christ, that Elona Mission quest is so damn frustrating, I must have spent 8 hours and gone through no less than 15 tries. And I'm still stuck there.

If i'm thinking of the right one, you just need to peg it to the easier base first, then get to the second one through a small path instead of fighting a whole lot of them the long way round. You just need a capable team that won't attack everything they see or run off in different directions all the time.

Level 17 now as I've played all day. Will try and catch you guys online at some point soon.
Psht, I must have one of the best weapons for a lvl 9 R/E. 10-15 bow, +15% damage from the off, and the old +20% for custom...

Patch: I gave away a whole load of weapon upgrades last night :/ if I'd have known...
Never enough storage and I don't really need that much money so I've taken to finding newb players in ascalon and donating objects to them. I've done a bit of trading and got good deals but I always feel like I'm trying to rip someone off and that just isn't me. I know that a lot of traders spend their time trying to get the best details, fleece new players and so forth but I find that part of the game extremely distasteful. However it isn't so much the game as it is the people who play it so you'll get it in any game you play.

what confuses me, is that i can still use it and if gives me the special stats like energy +6,. so whats this req. 4 domination magic mean?
So you're saying that I could have used that 34-42 bow that someone offered me for 1k, even though it had Marks. 9 requirements?
or a 6-10 wand with a +6 energy focus item?
Yes. But no weapon gets to do up to 42 damage. He was probably trying to rip you off anyway.
And it would've done really poopy damage until you had 9 Marks... even with 8, you'd still do far less than the given damage.
John, wand&focus.
I'm N/Me20, started playing a bit more last week.
Yeah, the max bow damage is somewhere around there.

Blame fam and redford and all the others nubs in #ns-gw. I designed it, said I disliked it, then everyone went and voted for it. Stupid cape.
