3 heartwood staff 3 65 Gold





the heartwood staff, is that in the game but just not on the "Magical Items" list on doormud.com or has it been added?



if added, what are the stats?

[EvanElias]

That was added to the game at the same time the Druid class was added (v0.97) -- it's there because Druids couldn't use any of the items the Medusa drops, so they got an extra shop item to compensate.



Stats are comparable to the Serptentine Staff in terms of damage. Gives +1 SP, +3 accuracy, +3 AC also.



It's not on the magic item list since I usually don't list shop-only weapons... ie the ninja and monk weapons aren't listed on the web site either.

yeah, too bad it costs 65 gold...



shoulda made medusa drop that too :P



:thumbd:



i don't have 65 gold! :(

[EvanElias]

Yeah, I forget why I didn't add it directly to Medusa, I think I encountered bugs that prevently me from retroactively adding new items to older monsters, if I remember correctly.



DoorMUD's internal data formats are somewhat crappy, in terms of changing old stuff in newer releases... I designed that stuff years ago before I knew how to do a MUD database efficiently :(



One of the many reasons that I really want to recode DoorMUD from scratch some time in the future... whenever I do finally get time to do that, the results will be an *incredible* MUD, but it's just a question of when I'll get the time!
