Adventurer Thread

My gear is only at 9. Never had this happen before though.

An even more odd thing happened: I was on wave three of undead, when I just started getting the "blank" screen (no sign of undead), as if the hunt had been interrupted by another hunter. Same day, same time (one hunt after another)...and there are no other adventurers in the region.

[Shizzle]

Well, no offense, but how do you expect to find monsters if your adventuring skill is at 9? 

Thoug your case is rather... rare. I've never had it that bad I think, but then again I don't really keep track of investigations vs hunts.

[vonGenf]

I've seen that before, I've always assumed this means that you have hunted them all, but on round three and at "many rumours" it does seem unlikely.

As for missing them 5 times out of 7, at 9% gear that will happen once in a while, but it gets better as you gear and train up. It's very difficult to get to a champion below 25% skill, although not impossible.

[Bael]

Yeah, I've been focusing on items more than rogues. When I first started out it was quite easy to find rogues though.

The good old days **sigh**

You investigate the monster situation in Batesaor. You hear many rumours about monsters and encounter several witnesses who have seen them with their own eyes.

I would consider that message to be only slightly promising of a prospect. I often pass stuff like that by without even bothering, unless there's a good bounty.

Also, gear of 9? If that's the case, it doesn't surprise me that you don't find much of anything.

Sarcasm?

Edit: Ah, wait, I see you are on Dwilight. That explains it...

[Indirik]

Don't forget , you can also adjust your hunting to a more risky option, which will also increase your chances of encountering monsters.

And yes, my advy is on Dwilight. And in the Libero Empire, as well, so it's not even a frontier realm like Terran or Pian en Luries. Still, the lords up here usually don't have bounties set, and I almost never hunt in those regions.

[Shizzle]

Down south (Fissoa) bounties (and the attracted adventurers) are vital.

... is there even any point in not going the most risky option? that is, once you get a bit of equipment so you don't get wounded all that often.

i usually can't find anything unless  max risk...

[Telrunya]

Well the whole you won't get seriously wounded (and lose lots of hours) or get killed thing is generally a good reason I figure those chances increase as you go more risky.

I've had my advy wounded at "stealth" before ("many monsters in this area, you see many signs of them with your own eyes"- or something)
She only has 25/25 gear though.

So yes, the settings can be useful On max she would have probably been killed.

[fodder]

You have found a black diamond - a cursed gem that is said to bring bad luck. Nobody is willing to pay for it, you believe.

.. i wonder if that's why you can't give it away....

[Shizzle]

Adventurers needed in Fissoa. Bounties maintained, Guild membership with RP possibilities and monthly grants offered.

My advy on Dwilight routinely gets routed on the stealth setting. The second lowest, one right below the default. That's with 50/50 skill and EQ. I also hunt a lot in regions that are swarming with monsters, often with full-out monster outbreaks in progress.

Mm, Atamara, with less than 50/50 ratings, went Max Aggro all the time against undead. Got seriously wounded by Undead Champs about 20 times. Never died, strangely enough. Became a noble at age 27.
