eq that is worn in 2 slots

[kiryan]

For the longest time I've thought the way we stat eq that can be worn in 2 spots is backwards.

EQ that can be worn in two spots should have less possible max stats than eq that can only be worn in one.

my problem is this, when you lopside one slot, especially a slot where you can double up the effect, you reduce whats available everwhere else. One might argue that you can't have 20 hp leggings because player hps are out of control, well, where are all the hps?

Rings are the best example... 60+ hps in one slot.
2/2 earrings and 3 dam bracelets are another example.

If you made the max dam available on wrists 2, then you could make the max on legs and arms 3. Now your probably thinking thats just a wash, and you need more variety on slots where you can wear 2 so you can make more varied eq for the slot. Well what about things like 4 dam bracelets which happened in the past. 2 of those has a much bigger effect than if someone impd a single 4 dam boot.

One recent item, 5 max int neck item. Max int was already at around 37. With this new item were now up to 47? One item raised the achievable maxint by over 25%.

A second thought, it would be nice if you could flag eq "unique" IE you can only wear one. You could have two heartstone of sakslaan, but you could only equip one.

What are you even asking?

[Ragorn]

I think he's asking something like "hey guys, what do you think about downgrading more equipment?"

[Thilindel]

what? downgrading post from him and it's got nothing to do with elementalist? :P

[Sarell]

agree totally kiryan, all chars should have only one arm, except for dwarfs which should have no arms and more beard slots...


I think that is what he was asking?

[thanuk]

I think he said downgrade everything and upgrade SPoB more.

[othelil]

I completely missed any form of coherence that might have been present in that post. Someone want to enlighten me what the heck the question is?

[Ashiwi]

He wants to wear one of his rings on... you know... and he's willing to give up some of the stats on it if they'll let him.

[Yasden]

You're trying to say that his brain is so small that his head has shrunk to fit it, Ashiwi?

[taelin]

sooo constructive.

The point was good.

Eq that can be worn multiple times (earrings, neck, wrists and fingers) has a bigger impact than the more substantial parts of your body. Yes in D&D jewlery items are inherently more magical, but then again, you dont have 24 eq slots in D&D.

any increase in one of these slots counts double, so when silver bands came in the game caster hp got not the 10hp upgrade but a 20hp upgrade. 18hp earrings netted 6hp over the 15hp earrings... how many times have we seen sleeves get 6hp upgrades let alone 20hp?

Dude, Ragorn. . I almost choked on an Almond. That is a riot.

I didnt really understand Kiryan. . . I thought he was asking if it would be cool to have hats you could wear on your feet. . . or bracelets you could wear as anklets. . or somesuch.

What would be cool is having a reversible jacket. One side is 50HP -10 save breath. . the other is +4 +4!

RAR!

Lost.
