Title: Templates Thread
Post by: Cernos on January 28, 2010, 01:09:19 pm
Here's a template I've just put together for my Hero using drops I already had (from Molvik template), quest items, some drops I found on housing merchants and four pieces of crafted scale which I will need to spellcraft up. All the non-crafted items cost less than 200g each, some significantly less. The crafted armour was quite expensive (approx 3p for the four items, but this was for 99% quality, 98% is cheaper). All primary stats are capped (str is overcapped too), resists all above 20% and +260 hits. It can of course be improved on and I will look to tweak it a bit more before I actually commit to the spellcrafting (I may try and fit in a chest and gauntlets from Sheeroe scales). But it gives you an idea of what is possible without messing around with artifacts or endless Sheeroe farming. Yes it doesn't have a lot of the TOA boosts and none of the special abilites from artifacts, but its a good starter template which means I can get out there in RvR and not feel like a gimp.

Looks good Cern - I should be on tonight (after 9pm) so I might have another look at my items.

I hate looking at the endless lists of stats (info overload!), I will prolly just freestyle my way to some sort of template goodness;p  I have already spent about 2.5pp on gear though (and another 1.3pp for the Ranger), just need to tidy it up and get some stuff spellcrafted up to fill gaps.  I won't be touching my set up until I have completed all the appropriate item quests and worked out what stats for the CL5 Druid weapon are!

Info on champion weapons can be found here. http://www.camelotherald.com/section.php?id=30

I suspect my template will be built around the weapon

Yep those Champion weapons look very nice, tick all the right boxes. TBH they're every bit as good as any artifact weapon and well worth pushing to CL5 for (which doesn't look hard to do). Think I will factor the CL5 spear into my template too.
Title: Re: Templates Thread
Post by: Brigh on January 28, 2010, 05:03:19 pm
Yeah - I've just got CL3 which gives the option to user crush, slash and thurst weapons but ofc as I can only spec in pierce I have no styles to use if I equipped a club, sword or spear!

Also get the option to buy several types of horses ranging from 1plat to 6plat

Brigh :D

Post by: Saxif on January 29, 2010, 09:56:05 pm
Awesome weapons, they will fit very nicely into my set up :)

Sax.

edit - I didn't realise that Camelot gave realm stats, tonight there are 3151 ppl playing Ywain, none in the EU and a smattering on Pendragon, Gaheris and Mordred.  I feel it's a shame that the game has all but died, I am loving it again tbh.  Think our server will have a stable population for some time to come though, however if the EU stats are for all languages, they might not both with a EU cluster ...

Title: Re: Templates Thread
Post by: Cernos on January 29, 2010, 10:22:39 pm
The Camelot Herald hasn't accurately displayed the number of EU customers for some time now (due to problems at GOA's end I believe .... imagine that). Whilst the game has been all but dead for some time on GOA's English servers, the French and German servers remained reasonably well populated up until GOA announced they were pulling the plug. Their combined numbers were comparable to those currently playing Ywain and so if the majority do transfer to Mythic's new EU server then it'll have a population similar to Ywain (which hits 4k on weekends at US primetime).

It is sad the game has dwindled to such a small player base, though the population has been steadily increasing in recent months and Ywain's cap has been increased several times. What will happen when the new EU server opens is anyones guess. I've heard that character transfers will initially be only from Ywain to the new server, we won't be able to move our old EU toons to Ywain. Most French and German players currently on Ywain will surely migrate. I don't think it's a good idea for English speaking players to do so, because the new EU server will be dominated by French and German players and so language issues are bound to arise (be interesting to see how Mythic plan to sort that one out).

I think Ywain will stay populated for some time to come, but there's no doubt it's a final last hurrah for the game, which is why its only worth investing so much time in building templates etc. Then again, Ultima Online is still going ......

Template number 1 - uses crafted armour and a mix of BP items and drops (would cost between 15p-20p)

If you wonder why I have something equipped in my left hand it is because at CL3 I get to use a shield :)
Title: Re: Templates Thread
Post by: Cernos on February 01, 2010, 11:26:33 am
Energy = runemaster bolts and sorceror mezz. Not a good one to have at zero :)

Doesn't equipping a shield stop you using claw though?
Title: Re: Templates Thread
Post by: Brigh on February 01, 2010, 11:29:22 am
Nope, borrowed a small shield from the guild vault and works fine - I always wondered when I looked at templates why they had something in the left hand and now I know - wish it was easier to find that sort of information though, never mentioned it on the website and only because I spotted something on the VN boards did I know myself!

Probably go with template 1 :)

Here's the new Vampiir template, it's a corker for a cheap template (if I say so myself).

Nice one Cern - is this something you can SC yet or do you need to raise your skill?

Ok - no great rush - got CL4 last night so a few more nights to get CL5 and my weapon anyway - just going to run that SH quest, I think it works out as about 13 times to get a full level but you will also get 1.7 plat in reward so not to shabby :)

Thanks once again Cern :D

What I dont understand and feel a little uncomfortable with is the fact that the board needs a server admin to accept all account applications.  Why doesn't Korts have that data base built in?

Sax.

Well Korts can use any database not just Ethinargs. But you can make Kort's have the Ethinarg database built in. Just download the Zip files from Ethinargs. You don't even need an account to do this. Go to http://www.ethinarg.com/index.php and click on the downloads link. You should see files called hib_complete.zip etc. Download these. Unzip the Hib one and you'll get a folder called Hibernia with lots of sub folders. Move this into wherever you set Kort's up to run its database from. If you haven't done this, fire up Kort's and go to the File menu and choose Item Database Path. Select where and say yes when it asks if you want to create folders. Merge your recently downloaded folder with this one (just copy the Hibernia folder over the Kort's one).

If you are using Ethinarg's DB, take care because I've just noticed some of the Sheeroe jewelry items now bought for dragon scales in TNN are not updated with the new (and enhanced) versions.

Thats crap, have you tried Gearbunny?  If so is it any good?

Sax.
Title: Re: Templates Thread
Post by: Cernos on February 10, 2010, 06:35:54 pm
Not looked at gearbunny. Korts + Ethinargs is fine. Just double check the newer items (you can always ammend the stats in Korts and just re-save the item). At the end of the day you're driven by what's affordable on the housing merchants anyway. 
Title: Re: Templates Thread

Here's my approach to building a template:

1) What jewelry do I already have or are affordable on the merchants that boost 'exotic' bonuses (things like casting/melee speed, stat caps, power pool, heal bonus, style damage etc). Put these into Korts. Usually you can already get a feel for how things are going.
2) How many pieces of Dragonslayer do I want to use? The Dragonslayer chest is usually very nice. Other items may or may not suit your template. Two tends to be a good number and keeps farming down.
3) Do I need Dragonsworn crafted armour with the extra slots? Do the extra slots actually help my template? Usually yes.
4) Do I want to use the CL5 weapon? Usually yes.
5) Can I now make a balanced template by SC'ing the crafted parts? Usually no, unless you're lucky. So then it's time to juggle the jewerly and make some choices about what 'exotic' bonuses you'll have to sacrifice to make way for more mundane stuff.

Note: I usually don't buy any items on housing until I'm sure they'll work in my template (unless they are a real bargain and might get snapped up).
