| |  |  Last Friday's questions, short and sweet:
Q: Is parry affected by both swords or just the main weapon?
A: From the programmer in charge of such things: “Whether holding one weapon, two weapons, a weapon and a shield, or a two hander, you always get one chance to parry per round based on the weapon you're holding in your right hand and your base chance to parry always increases by 1/2% per spec point in parry.”
Q: The Morvalt Ring of the Ancients, a drop from Trollheim dungeon, cannot be recharged. It has 20 charges to start. Bug or feature?
A: It can't be recharged because it has 20 charges on it in the first place, which is way more than we normally put on charged items. (A mistake on our part.) However, since we can’t edit the number of charges on the item, we just decided to make it a “use it and lose it” kind of item. It was either that or remove it from the game, which we didn’t want to do.
Q: Why do the Ashen and other types of Fellwoods not turn neutral/friendly after killing many grimwoods, but the Knotted and Gnarled Fellwood do turn neutral?
A: They are on different factions - the grimwoods and the mountain fellwoods hate each other, the ashen fellwoods and the other fellwoods are not involved. (If there isn’t some dialogue in the game to indicate this, there will be soon.)
Q: For the crafting noises, is everyone going to be able to hear these or just the crafter?
A: Just the crafter.
Q: In the Albion frontier, monsters like the Grimwood, Teg Rangers, and
Ravenclan Giants all give a + to Gwalchai. What exactly is a Gwalchmai?
A: Gwalchmai and his horse Destrier were temporarily removed from the game for retraining, and will reappear in the future.
Q: How do I update my guild’s webpage link on the Herald?
A: A rank 0 person needs to type the command /gc webpage http://blablahblah.com while in game.
Q: What is the percentage chance per hit for an item to proc? Is this chance different for higher level procs? Reactive vs. active?
A: It is set strictly on a per-item basis, so there’s no way I could tell you here on the grab bag an answer about a particular item.
Q: Why don’t Thane's stormcalling spells crit?
A: Only list caster spells naturally crit. (A list caster, for those of you new to the grab bag, is a caster whose spells organize themselves into neat little drop down menus. Also known as a “cloth caster.”)
Q: How does Piety affect stormcalling?
A: Piety affects spell damage the same way strength affects melee damage.
Q: Does dexterity do more for a list caster than for a hybrid caster?
A: Dex affects casting time the same for all classes.
