Q & A

Post by Meren » Wed May 24, 2023 10:41 am

Hello,

I don't know how many new/less experienced players we actually have. Either way decided to make a post where you can ask a question about any in game mechanic, thing, place, tactic, and I (or someone else as capable) can answer.

Questions such as "how do I solo smob as an xx". Information about tics, pulses, aggro. Navigating the ways, quirks of channelling. Getting back on your feet if you've lost everything.

Even scripting problems, questions.

Only stupid questions are unasked ones!

I'll start off with an example question.

How do you time aggro pulses without a pet? (And if you don't know how that's done, when you order a pet/mob to sit, they will always stand back up on the same pulse a mob would aggro).


I do this with a tictimer, and the tiniest amount of maths. If using Adael's Mudlet package, or any of the ZMud packages out there, chances are you'll have a reliable and accurate tictimer.

These tend to be 60-62 seconds. From what I've noticed, the aggro pulses are at intervals of tic/6. This says to me an aggro should occur at 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 seconds, then on the tic itself. So I'll look at my timer, if it's at 12 seconds, stand still. 9 seconds is go. You won't always be perfectly right as there can be long tics.

Both the '<<WEST<<' and numbers in front of the horses are client side scripts. Depending on your client you can find the scripts possibly on this forum.
I do not use the numbers one myself, so I can not help you there. The one with the arrows is part of Adaels collection of scripts.

If you have more than 0 Turn Points (TPs) it will show when you do the 'score' command.

TPs are mainly gained from killing other players.

I believe exactly 85. As my trolloc has 84 right now and is not happy. I'll check and confirm tomorrow.

Yeah, it is 85% Track. And that applies to manual tracking regardless of class. I have had that on a channeler before and they get it as well with sufficient percentage practiced.
