#23255, "Revamping the Wand System"
|
This still does not fix the problem, people will still attempt to create lists and share them. To fix this problem, I would suggest a few things.
1) Make requirements for having wand locations.
Suggested requirements: Shield: level 30 Aura: level 32 Barrier: level 36 + 2000 Imm exp
This would enforce good roleplay to get a powerful mage. (Or rather make it easier, because you can still potentially kill others for them).
2) Lower detect artifact level, but make it a more useful spell.
Detect artifact Requirements: lvl 30 + imm xp + observation xp + detect magic %
This can be done by making a progression in its level %. As the % increases, it is possible to find new wands upon entering the room. Also as the % increases, Upon entering the AREA a wand is in, you will get a small echo detecting "a strong magic aura in this area". Example: Shield req: 75% Aura req: 85% + Echo upon entering the area your Shield wand is in. Barrier req: 95% + Echo upon entering the area your Aura wand is in.
3) Perhaps make some quests.
Maybe your guildmaster sends you on a quest to find your aura or shield wands. "I heard of a great artifact in the north east, past the mountains. Find it and return it to me for closer inspection."
Your basic wands (aura and shield) should be relatively easy to get as a mage, but require a quest. Barrier on the other hand should be quite hard to get (powerful mobs, no help finding it but Detect artifact will help in that room). It would all be hard to code, but I believe it would be a good thing for the mud in general.
