Thanks to Nova who helped testing. It appeared that after level 10 it becomes very hard to find better items, especially for magic users. Of course it could be the testing period was too short: in rom2 players farm the same groups of monsters for many hours (often on AFK), to collect xp and gold. In Nwn AFK is not a real option, but farming for many hours would give the same result as in rom2. Also some features have not been tested by Nova.

For now I'm adding more loot to monsters. Also Fighting monsters in the Ingos Arena will provide you with occasionally good loot (and xp!). Basically all fighter gear can be enhanced by crafters. That leaves the magic user problem...

Simply put: I'm not an expert in magic users. I can add stuff, but in no way I'm able to determine if it suits, and/or if it's balanced. Therefor I need advice.

So tell me what kind of stuff is needed. Make wish lists for different professions. Than I'll see what I can do. (I wonder anyhow: why are there no scripts for magic user forges???)

Like I posted below: finished the framework with these maps:


Uzra (rom2)-easy
Ancient Ali Tribute forest (rom1/2 - stripped) -easy
Lord of Atlantis Domain (Evil Islands) -easy/medium
Rigel (rom1)-medium
Midnight (rom2 - winter version) - medium/hard
Ingos (original Evil Islands map) - hard
Ingos village - arena and quests (well, 1 quest until now lol)
Sareth (rom2) - horror
-several in-map events like exploring caves, dungeons, etc.

Currently I'm adding quests. Hearth of the (core) game will be the Village of Ingos, with a special Adventurer (quest) inn. But getting there requires some skills, although a level +/- 10 would do.

I'm waiting for Jult to release his rom3 game, and will not start an Allods server until we played at Jults for a while. Yet, if someone likes to test what I have, just tell me and I will setup a testserver in a weekend. Feedback is appreciated anyhow.

The second part of the game is where it all starts... Hearth of that part will be a town with Horror quests. These are quests of my own, and quests designed by othter players. Those who use the Rhun engine are invited to create questmaps anyway! :)
