That was a fun char. You and Mezoar were BFFs. I could've been a guardian if you stayed alive longer. Loved her cool claw hand. She was epic and fun :P

Niessen gave her that claw ^^

I've got a few of us hanging out and plotting evil schemes, I think!

I'll post them if I can find them :)
A really fun PC to hang out with!

The problem panama is that +1 arrows in EFU are just +1 damage. They don't pierce DR :(

Opening a shop where archers have to spend money constantly is kind of a poor solution, unless these special arrows cost like 30-40 for a stack of 99 :(  The real solution is more magic being castable on arrows and/or bows, more special long/short bows and heavy/small crossbows, or loot that can improve arrows like other loot can improve weapons. :(

No, No.

I am not talking about +1 damage arrows. Those are neat, but horrible in the long run. Melee weapons can be enchanted to peirce damage reduction, be given like 1d4 + 3-6 fire damage, can be given magical damage with divine favor, and can be enchanted with deafening clang and bless weapon.  

What do arrows get that boosts them?  

Bard song, 18 seconds of poison weapon, divine might, and divine favor.  Does anybody else see the horrible imbalance here? +1 damage is neat, but it is nowhere near good enough.  Yes there is the fact that archers have less overall risk and use less supplies because they are not being constantly beaten with a sword :(   However that extra bit of safety doesn't really count for anything when you can only do 1 damage with arrows that are really hard to find. Sure there is other ways to be useful on quests, but I think archers shouldn't be completely imbalanced like this :(

Thats for always making fun of me. :P

I never made fun of you :(

She's not dead, I just wanted to share some pictures :(

That arrow caught midflight in the last picture is mine :) I was watching with horror as you fell from badly wounded to near death, hoping I would score the critical to save you. I only met him in person twice and both times were awesome. I'm sad to see him go but I'm eager to see what you come up with next! :)

I've got a couple shots of Ortred too :)

In the second last screenshot it shows Lenny saying there were too many.  He was not kidding.



Ortred's last fight from a safer perspective. He took on three of those guys before he fell a hero. (Notice how he's the only one down there, and we're all hiding above using bows.)


Pre-battle DangerousDan telling us to get a move on in his own special way :)

I'd settle for your coat Gippy.

I love Mort.

I have resolved to learn every single server secret.

Niessen was Level 6.  It was fun though, and from the looks of it there was a pretty neat reward.

The other day I had a really fun run of Castle Vradzn, which was loaded with traps. That might have been spice because I did it today and saw none of those traps again.

It was really neat seeing all those traps there, making us take the time to disable/avoid them. Without them the entire group pretty much just ran off every which way and pulverished the goblins with little effort.

I'd really like to see more of the trap aspect.

I think this is one of those quests where you either get a little or a lot.   I like it how it is. Very neat quest, I enjoyed it alot when I did it.

      Goblin Assassin: AND WILL SURELY SUCCEED.

I've looked in the forums a bit and I've seen a few threads like this. In the days of bows and arrows archers would use oil to light their arrows aflame. There are a lot of quests with undead who have damage reduction, and I have not really seen any real way for an archer to be effective against them :(

Would it be too much to add an Oil and torch item to  add like 1d4 fire damage to our arrows for a couple turns?
