Is that a no to increase the staff xp then?Face wrote:Yes i think its just funy when i see some one say that fishing xp and rp xp should not be a thing when people can get xp by doing something compleetly difrent then actualy playing there toons.
For a wizard theory is not practice. They have to get every hand movement and incantation just right. One little movement right or left wrong and POOF BANG BOOM SPELL FAILURE! One little syllable in the wrong place and you guessed it! POOF BANG BOOM SPELL FAILURE So just theorizing about the movement is not going to net them new spells. Also to improve a spell and make new ones there will be many many practical applications of trying the spell and failures before it is right.. So sorry there Hoihe this is just flat wrong from any premise you are arguing.Hoihe wrote:Calodan wrote:

I would also say you missed the point that has been said again and again.
THEY ARE AWARE IT IS BROKEN AND ARE FIXING IT!!!
All they were trying to do was bring down the 60-70 XP pops that could happen and they did. I had some myself. To like 50 or so more often....MORE OFTEN. For a more satisfying RP experience of seeing dem 50s roll while talking! Or 34 or 26 or whatever it is for your level!
For a wizard, theory IS practice. Their power improves at the drawing board where they take a spell and redesign it to be less wasteful or more accurate etc. The only thing combat provides a mage is a "testing ground" to see if their developments improved, or to improve their concentration and focus in stressful environments. In terms of raw power, it's the bookworm who wins.
In Eternia Roleplay, there's a number of admins who review RP logs and award XP based on them. The only way to get to high level is to have RP logs proving your magical research, training with sword etc. Whacking monsters doesn't get you far, maybe a bit of a boost to your stats.
You can only learn new abilities, spells with RP points though.

But its fine as this is a med rp server and xp gained is all over the place with fishing questing and the few other things we do to gain levels.

This is not Eternia. Nor will it ever be.

After you learn to cast your first few spells in a circle, incantation and somatics become second nature of that complexity. What's left is analyzing that spell and finding that component that causes excessive complexity here, the one that doesn't properly apply energy there, the one that has no reason to exist. And you perfect your spells by studying your spellbook. Test it a few times to check if the new methods improve duration, damage, or make it harder to resist.
Its a no and as i said i personaly think no xp should be given out for it.mrm3ntalist wrote:Is that a no to increase the staff xp then?Face wrote:Yes i think its just funy when i see some one say that fishing xp and rp xp should not be a thing when people can get xp by doing something compleetly difrent then actualy playing there toons.
The thread was already dead. It was already stated that the broken issues of it were indeed noticed and were being addressed.....I just chimed in on other things already being said.....However I have no issue being labeled. I do it to others!Nyeleni wrote:Trust in Calodan, Hoihe and some others (yes I look at you Mentalist) to derail a thread about rp xp.
Could we lock this please. I think the horse is dead by now.
