Good new template

merth · 18th November 2006, 01:53 PM

Ok so I've been reading up on all the new stuff since I left eg. Fan dancer dojo, tokuno rares etc. whats a good template for solo play in these new areas?

It depends on your style. I like to be in the thick of things, so a samurai warrior with parry works well for high end stuff, as does a scribe mage with wrestle and a slayer spell book.

Sounds easy enough except whats a slayer spellbook..and sorry in advance for ignorance of the new stuff.

So far, the following facts are known about Slayer Weapons, Spellbooks and Instruments:

* All the Slayers fall into 7 groups. Abyss, Arachnid, Elemental, Fey, Humanoid, Reptilian and Undead.
* Each group has a Super Slayer that will increase damage/success on all monsters within that group.
* Each of those groups have an opposing group. (i.e. Humanoid vs. Undead)
* Slayer Weapons will do double damage to the monsters they are meant for.
* Slayer Weapons can both be found as monster loot and be crafted by using a runic crafting tool.
* Slayer Spellbooks will cause most spells to do double damage to the monsters they are meant for.
* Slayer Spellbooks can only be crafted by scribes using a scribe pen.
* Slayer Instruments will increase your success chance by 20% when used on the creatures it is meant for.
* Slayer Instruments will decrease your success chance by 20% when used on the creatures from its opposing group.
* Slayer Instruments can only be found as monster loot.
* A successful use of a Slayer Weapon, Spellbook or Instrument will yield a little white flash on the monster.

I also enjoy right in the middle of the mess. So for me I like to solo with a paladin/warrior/parry. I have one of each: swords, fencing, mace, and archery. (archer has fishing instead of parry).

Ah, cool, Tukaram. You should consider making a wrestle (or eval/anat) mage with slayer spell book(s), then. One of the funnest challenges I've done in the game was killing shadow wyrms without summons using a mage.

Shadow wyrms are crazy tough now, summoning liches and revenants and other stuff plus casting spells and hitting hard. Killing a shadow wyrm with ebolts, lightning, harm and other spells while simultaneously coping with a lich lord, a revenant, some necro summons, a skeletal knight, a demon that wandered in, maybe a wyvern or two and a drake, all at the same time is really fun (and hard).

The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
