I have spent a little time reading the patch notes. As most of you know, I am not the smartest tool in the shed when it comes to this stuff.

I think everything looks really cool. Maybe I can snag some of the godlt wells that you folks do.

I dont know if I cna figure out how to get in a group or not. I may need some help.

I will have a small amount of time on LS tonight but have to get all of the hunting gear together. Youth Weekend for deer hunting starts Saturday. My son and I are leaving Friday night, returning late Saturday night.

As Chip said, please post notes and comments about anything new and helpful you discover on LS.

I dont know about everyone else....but I am damn excited to get home and play....maybe I have a Dr's Appointment...lol. There was a very interesting thread about dmg on weapons like swords and daggers based off str and dext ratio.

Swords 75% str and 25% dex
Daggers 10% str and 90% dex

I didnt see anything about other weapons but maybe someone with more time could find it and post up.

I did learn this too that anyone can mega crit when casting as you hold down the control button and click one of the monsters. Should make for some interesting guild runs with 2 or 3 casters. Back to work for me but continue to post up what you learn and I will try to do the same.


Swords 75/25. You get a bonus of 75% of your strength and 25% bonus of your dexterity, per Paul. Damage is not nerfed; however, your strategy on str/dex will need to change, perhaps.
I will post link to thread.

Here is the link on all weapon types for max damage....looks like those of us that have full sword set, axe, staff, dagger...etc are going to have to really think about gear for either str or dext. I feel sorry for those that go from dagger to sword then to club and only have mq axe..... I might be in the market for str robes instead of dext ones. From what I can tell to get max damage you need to have your ratios as close to the required item type to do the best damage.

Dont know about anyone else but I am freaking excited.

well the arena gone but you can solo it in cata and its easier only one or two monsters if you are by yourself and hella alot easier then the arena lol thats about a good plus to that the group thing is abit annoying and will take some getting used too and the str/dex thing is easy fix and you dont need to change your gear ha

either there was sum1 in game w8n for u to keep map goin....
or u were doin solo maze, and in that case maze stays cleared until u logof that char, or if u complete maze and leave game...
maze will be reset and totally black, and rdy for u to clear again


thats what im saying i was just doing a solo cata not a group one maze didnt change on me so i would assume you could go in find the well then get your wellables outta the vault well and repeat.
i could be wrong

ya its kinda koo, but u get less exp in solo cata, then u did in arena, was only about 40monsters in arena per lvl b4
now its like 0.75%-1%exp per monster unless its an e/p or a well, also no more chain counter for better exp/drops...
but they did increase drops so thats 1 good thing

and best part is if u wanan find a guildy, make a game the push f set lvl range from 1-71
and it will show u all chars online at that time, if u dbl click the char name it types /msg and charm name for u
u can use that to scroll thru list of ppl on to see who all is on in other guilds, or ours
pretty handy imo

taking out arena screwed alot of people who like to solo and not take a crap load of monsters to lvl which i liked soloing as i like seeing the good drops and getting them

now the question is will still see the drops you normally would if u solod in arena in cataing by yourself

So far solo catacombing seems viable even with mediocre gear, from what some guildies and myself have seen, but not enough testing has been done.


e: I can vouch that the drop rate has increased compared to the old version.

the point is the new style now is crappy the layout on he did it is messed up taking arena out was a mistake the bigger one was taking the well out alot of people quit when he did the update for 1.13 and up wonder how many more are gonna quit cause of this update
