iron crown = 2.2/0.4

silversilk gloves = 4/0.2

bone ring = 0.5/1

silversilk slippers = 4/0.2

platinum bracers = 1.5/0.5

(stormmetal bracers, adamantite bracers work as well, both .5 DR)

elven cloak/crimson cloak, 2/0.1 (for the AC)

spiked obsidian collar = 1.5/0.5 (for the AC)

silversilk trousers = 4/0.2

shining metallic robes = 13/2.6

white gold ring = 2.5/0.5 AC

skull mask = 2/0.2 demon's skull mask = 1/0.5 for priest





that brings your total AC to a GRAND TOTAL of:



37.2/5.4



That's not even spelled up..that's also disclude other +AC items that I didn't include due to now DR bonus...



Damn..that actually looks like hella nice AC for a silk wearer...hrm..



Anyway..heh..you get what I'm saying? Granted, most silk wearers wouldn't dress like that, maybe a mystic or ninja, give or take a few items. So basically altogether max, a silk wearer can get over 40 AC and 5 DR..that's pretty good, still the lowest, but with spells and whatnot..that's hella good.

Now try w/o lims. ;)

I only listed 2 lims..the shining metallic robes and platinum bracers..bracers can be traded for stormmetal or adamantite like I said above, and the robes..well..those are the only robes with decent DR. No shining metallics, no arguement. Ninja's should get them, mages have spells to compensate, and priests have golden sun robes (still 1.6 less, but with magic armor it's not too much off? I dunno wut magic armor gives exactly tho..)

Ok, the boards gonna be down for a few days, id like some suggestions on what you guys would like to see/ What makes a good system. Be aware, i've tried to get the new races/classes working, i have the files requred for that, but it wont work. I will consider and implment most serious suggestions to the best of my knowladge (im still working on quests which confust the hell outta me).

You also listed skull mask/demon skull mask. Both lims.. both are now ears (I think).. which means, there's no suitable replacement. So like I said, most robes max out at 3 w/o decent high end items. Technically it's 3.5-3.9.. but in game terms, still 3.



By the same token, leather can go up to 6 or 7 with good items. Dunno about scale people. Plates can hit double digits quite easily, assuming they got the str for it.

3.9 shows as 4..it rounds up. My warlock actually only has 4.6 DR, but it shows as 5..



chain still got fucked over the most...



most edited realms are increased lims or unlimited lims (not all, just the majority) so that's what I was basing it on..I also didn't know skull mask was lim, thought only demon's skull was but I'm probably wrong as you've said it's lim..thanks for lettin me know.



The effectiveness of plate armor is why Pallies are the best 1.11k classes you can have..chain SHOULD get up to 8-10 DR fully decked in the best he can have, and scale should be able to get just higher. The highest plate DR I've seen is 21, that's not to say that is the highest but I'm just using that as a pivot..being that it's highest is 21, most when eq'd are 18-19, I'd say scale should max around 14-15, and chain maybe even 10-11, leather should stay where it is as well as silk..it doesn't make sense that leather would be better than chain..see wut i'm sayin?

thats 71/4 w/ 90 agil

You are surrounded by a chaos shield! (chao)

You are affected by a mana flux! (flux) - mana regen

You feel protected! (mshi)

You feel armoured! (armr)

why does agility matter? lol..some people I've talked to are still on this "agility gives AC" trip..lmao, it doesn't.



It's also cuz..crimson bracers suck, they give 0 AC...you could have on stormmetals which give 2.5/0.5 AC and have a harder hitting spell, or platinum bracers that give 1.5/0.5 AC, +4 crits, +15 mana regen, etc..could also get a 1/0.1 AC boost from a jeweled turban over golden headdress, and -2/2.2 from some shining metallic robes, which are way better than silversilk tunic..



silversilk tunic:

15/0.4 AC

Dodge +10



shining metallic robes

13/2.6 AC

Dodge +25

HPs +20

Max Mana +20



you could also change align to good and get a white gold ring, the +5 dodge does you a lot better, though the +10 mana regen would help more from ruby-eyed skull ring, most people dislike going evil..the white gold is 2.5/0.5 AC over the black and whites 1/0.



If you did change all of that, your AC would raise by 2/3.3..I don't know what your current DR is at, but that would raise it to 7+ (depending on what it is, you're 71.?/4.? if ya understand that..)

[Rust In Peace]

Back in the old days when mud first came out, agility used to give ac.. I believe it was 10agil = 1ac.



As for dr rounding up.. since when?? It never rounded up before. Is this a j thing? If so, when does it round up? at .5? .6?
