Topic: Dropped Spells

I asked about this and i remember there was some issue but have forgotten it..either way i like the idea.

Give monsters the ability to drop Spell Books at certain lvls.

a lvl10 book of Chain lightning has a 0.006% drop rate
a Lvl1 book of town portal has a 4% drop rate

You could stick certain spells on certain monsters and adjust the drop rates to suit the Level and the rarity of the spell.

Another suggestion on Top of this is possibly making them 1/1 dura so that they cant be scribed...only learnt.

I noticed a lot of people hate Charles and his distribution methods so this was just an idea.

Re: Dropped Spells

Why would a monster carry a robe..or a sword...or a hat.

Im assuming the story says that they pick them up from slain enemies. Same as they could pick up a book.

Re: Dropped Spells

Well at current its not possible to choose what spell/dura if they are droped, Zer would need to change that to make it work. But magic monsters like mages, necromancers or even dragons etc would be ok if they droped spells.

I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.

Re: Dropped Spells

Guys.. what you want them to drop are SCROLLS.. scrolls are AWESOME.. seriously... a scroll can be like fireball lvl 9 with 65 casts... you don't need to learn anything or have anything scribed or buy lvls 1-8 first

I don't have a signature! *gasping mouth open.. eats a whole turkey*
mmm.. the essence of zur

Re: Dropped Spells

Tho you still cant choose what spell/lvl to be droped off a monster with the scroll.

Re: Dropped Spells

it COULD be made that way... but you don't NEED it to be... the problem with it now, is the fact that spell books and scrolls can be droped with lvl 27 death darts or lvl 40 holy armour.... and its not exactly hard coded... the problem is also that monster would start dropping banish and such.... so it isn't THAT good of an idea

Re: Dropped Spells

Well it was an idea for Zer...yes.

A lot of people dont like the current system with Charles being your only source for spell books...so this was a simple idea that if done correctly could be good i think.

Although I dont mind feedback from others.
