Subject {rRune {x/ {CWyrm{x quest part 2
Part 2... Hundreds of rune hounds/elders were killed, wyrm totems hunted, spectral wyrm body parts pounded through, and ultimately the spectral wyrm's head was destroyed. I fully expected this quest to take at least 3-5 days to complete, but you players have proved that when a reward is on the table that you waste no time :P. There were a few considerations that I ignored (like players being able to gate into the guilds) that ultimately may have made this quest harder, but I think the thing we can take away from all this, is that class/group/mob balance needs some work. Without extensive mprog work it's hard to make mobs that scale well with large groups, and brute force / massive healing seems to work everywhere. I applaud you all for putting together such massive groups so quickly and taking down these mobs. To give you an idea of how hard the Wyrm's Head was, here are some stats: Level: 160 Hitroll: 200 Damage: 153 (not damroll, scales a bit different) Hitpoints: 214500 (affected by sanc, so almost 430000 effective HP) Mana: 24750 Move: 24750 Armor Class: -5660 Saves: -80 Aff: Sanc, Fade, Haste, Regen, Heroism, Mantra Form: Double-Jointed (more dodge) Parts: Scales (more AC) Resist: Magic, Weapon, Bash, Pierce, Slash, Fire, Cold, Light, Lightning, Poison, Negative, Holy, Energy, Mental, Disease, Drowning, Wood, Silver, Iron Vuln: None Offensive Skills: area_attack, bash, dodge, parry, +attacks Size: Giant Stance: Lion Skills/spells used in combat: 50% each round to use 1 or some of these: Iron Maiden Mana Burn Dispel Magic Curse Weaken Slow Energy Drain Spit Bite Fire / Frost / Gas breath Shock Grasp / Chill Touch / Burning Hands Bash Plague Stop - Also, casted/changed aura each time this trigger fired. Here is a 90% complete log of the fight (log ended about 5 rounds early for some reason): http://aarchonmud.com/aarchon/wyrm.php In all, I'd say the quest went well. Maybe a few too many quest tokens were given out, but I think this was good fun for everyone. We hope you enjoyed.
