I have a friend, our GM of the guild, who I found wearing a
brown robe one
day. Level 36 wizard, who I'd given an ORobe, I know he had
a GSD, and now
he has ghastly as well... He likes brown sometimes.

Wear what you want. Everyone will have an opinion. Only one really
counts.

I love people who claim to know everything. And yes please tell
me that I am
wrong that I wanted to wear the Thaumaturgists robe over the
Yellow Erudite
robe when I played. Yes, I am wrong for wanting to wear a
different robe
than the one I had been wearing for 4 months. I suppose my
friend is also
wrong for actually liking the color. In the future I will be
sure to listen
and adhere to your personal preferences.
And I dont
care what drivel people spout about what stats do and what stats
dont. We
have proven time and time again that we notice a greater
performance when
stats are increased... we cannot state exactly why, but our
performance is
nonetheless greater.
I personally have a 200 charisma and a 200
intelligence and I am aiming to
increase my agility now. If i feel as if my
performance in game has not
changed with the increase, perhaps Ill try
Dexterity next, for the last
alternative would be stamina for more
hp.
I suppose you still believe in the fact that Wisdom is what
affects
Jewelcraft. I cannot dispute if it is correct or not, but I can
guarantee
that I jewelcraft with a wisdom of 128, and people who are
wearing their
"wisdom gear" to get near 200 wisdom around me are failing a
lot worse than
I am, and I have a 198 skill compared to their
200.
But again I appreciate your explaining to me the inner workings of
the game
and what I should and should not like, as Im sure many other
people on this
thread appreciate it as well.
People dont listen to
when people tell you what you need and dont need. Take
it into account,
play with different configurations, and stick with what you
like best. Its
a game... have fun.

Actually, I did play in the beginning, when the gossamer robe cost
over a
hundred, if you found someone selling it, people dreamed about when
they
would one day have a FBR, and people wondered what that guy in the OOT
was
for, he was wearing a funny robe. No one had heard of the SMR
yet.
Now lets talk the merits of the Tham
robe...
Your senior robe is AC6... ( +2 mana, that's useful )
the
Tham robe is AC5 +3 agility
Now unless you still
live in some dream world thinking that Agility has
some mystical function
in the game; even when everyone, including Brad
McQuiad, the producer of
the game says it does not; you must know that
agility really only affects
your AC. For Erudites, Humans, and other lower
agility races, at the
levels that you would wear the tham robe, it takes 4
agility to raise your
ac ONE point. 3 agility does not raise it one whit.
If you are Dark
elf or other higher agility race ( i.e. more than 75 ) it
take 6 or 7
points of Agility to raise your AC ONE point.
Now keep in mind, agility
affects your total AC, not the AC on the item, and
that agility HAS NO
OTHER FUNCTION IN EQ OTHER THAN RAISING YOUR AC. (( For
anyone piping
up that Agility affects your channeling, get a gun and shoot
yourself, you
are hopeless ))
Now, here is the real kicker... based on your LEVEL (
nope, still not your
agility, but keep that dream alive ), items add more
AC than they list in
their description. An ac 6 item adds 8-9 to your
real AC number.... a AC5
item adds like 6-7. ( I do not care what
real number it really is, like I
said, it is level based, not a linear
formula, and all results will vary
anyway) To add to your misery,
just like the Agility calc, it throws away
fractions, so 8.999 is 8 and
9.001 is 9.
Now for the most important reason to NOT wear the
tham robe... IT IS CRUD
BROWN.
If you cannot get a pure white
Gossamer robe, the pinnacle of fashion, get a
green senior, red senior,
Blue senior, or even a Purple Senior from the
necros in FP. Just do
not wear those gay ass yellow or violet senior robe.
Now if
you want to continue this conversation, please direct it
to
moghedan@..., and not this list. I will be happy to tell
you all
the ways you are wrong in private.
