Uthgard

As many of you know charge values have always been a hot topic on Uthgard. At one point in the past, all charge values were reduced in value. In our ongoing effort to match our server state to the stated server vision we have decided to introduce the live-like charge values.

The custom Necklace of the Body will no longer drop for Albion and Hibernia. Instead, the Ancient Stag Femur and Dura'ek's Cloak of the Embrace will drop from Legion. These items will only drop from Legion for now. A new higher value Necklace of the Body will drop from Legion for Midgard. Existing items will not be affected.

In addition to these items, please post the appropriate item request to the item request thread that may have acuity, dex/qui, or haste charges and they will be addressed as quickly as possible. Please use http://www.archive.org to provide details of the item prior to June 2004.

See you on the battlefield!

Your Uthgard Staff

interesting

So if I read it right:
Old Items with charges will not be effected and still have their attenuated charge.
All Items with charges that drop from now on will have the higher livelike charge values.

Or is this only the case for the Necklace of the Body - and all other charges receive an update that also effects already dropped items?

Albion and Hibernia will no longer get *new* necklace of the body

Midgard will get a new necklace of the body
Albion will get the cloak
Hibernia will get the Ancient Stag Femur

That's clear.

But will there be dex/qui charges with higher values than now, and will I have to re-farm or will my existing item be upgraded automatically?

For those who have already received Quested/OTD items such as "Yellow Silken Robes" and "Pooka Lord's Mantle", will there be any way for players to exchange them for a newer version?

Apart from the items mentioned, nothing else has been changed. Request the items via the item thread. Existing items won't be changed (OTD may be evaluated in the future, but for now, no change)

Yes, I remember that. All statbuff-charges were weakened: Str/Con, Dex/Qui & Acuity because they were considered as too strong for a non-buffbot environment. The lower values had/have similar values as yellow buffs from a player, if I am correct.

This sounds like you want to revert the change, but you say it means just the str/con buff and does not affect Dex/Qui and Acuity.

I should've sold my necklace of the body long long time ago

to bad that uthgard database seems to be such a messy place

Hm, i am wondering why every item were reduced in value in the past (including changing the existing items), so why will all the existing now not be increased

Maybe they want to get rid of buff pots, but in turn decided to make the item charges stronger (= more desirable). Also, at least one of the new items is part of the SI loot table, so maybe they figured that messing around with even more items is not the way to go. Hence also the comment that they will be in the legion loot list, for now - which suggests they will be moved to the propper SI mobs once they become available.

But when you decrease all Item Values even existing items....and later increase Item values again but only for new drops and not for existing items...sorry that make no sense for me!

welcome to the invest time not a monthly fee buff bot server
now, all Tanks pls get an arkars for none shearable charge. sounds good
