Can you list missing caves, respective caves that were left empty?

I mean lower level classic caves. Finding SV mines cave emtpy shot my enthusiasm to play the server to below zero. Natural cave I'd say nothing but SV mines filled the spot btw Dead mines and BC for warriors. I found DMmine onerous and not very challenging and went to check out SV mines and found that empty. BC is a bit to go yet, just lev 16. Mineral mines I didn't go to even see if something is there after the disappointment in SV

BTW seems too few mobs in caves and even outside caves, generally, even BC 1F feels like sleepy place (didn't go further in). And that low level places subs are pea easy (rank and file mobs as well) doesn't help, especially when warr weapon at these levels feels like hitting bale of straw, subs don't register hits (I know the reason, still it makes it very dull on warrior).

Seems odd that SV mines are empty tbh. Wasnt used much on euro in the end I guess. (Access to Yimoogis?)

BC1 feels exactly like Euro - It was always the floors further down that held the more densely packed mobs.

Remember with a load of people at lower level hunting all the same lower mobs, they will be harder to find.
The low level cave is quite busy up to lvl 20 for easy gold etc.

SV mines were used quite a bit, though I can't recall if it was in place at all on euro, maybe in later years on GNetwork or on gamepot mir. It filled the gap btw DM and BC, for warriors and sins anyway as I mostly played those. Yes, BC1 is like euro but that was crap. Best memory of BC in this regard I have of those days is when on GP (or was it GN?) mir our euro staff rewed up (re)spawns which made BC1 humming alive (and other caves I think too). You might say that would make it too hard but we got pretty well no new mir players (I'd say none at all), we all know the ropes and would make do. The idea behind all this is to make it easy so pple can race to levels where the game starts for them.
As I said on another thread, I am now leveling in mineral mines, did couple levels there already, 16&17 which is ridiculous, I shouldn't stand a chance there.

What class you play?

Also was gonna ask how can you tell if you already used a skill book to lower your skill point requirement. Its proper confusing. And can I buy books and use them now and get benefit from that later when I reach the level req?

You cannot use the skill book again, the book will tell you that you have already learned it. You can learn the books at any level, once you reach the level to use the skill it will be 10x quicker.

Also the tooltip has a green sentence stating that you have already studied this skill if you have, or a red line if you haven't. It's actually very obvious

I think I used some books that I got in drops, then I was in bookshop and bought some to use but they didn't work, wasn't told I already learned it, it just didn't vanish, so I sold it back LOL

Is it so you got to know how many skill points are needed to level a skill - so that if it states fewer points you know you used the book? But I didn't note down points required when starting out and now can't seem to tell if I have already used the book or not. For now its no biggie but I'd like to know for more expensive books later on.

Are...are you kidding? Or perhaps hadn't seen my post before you typed? I literally just told you exactly how tell if you have studied it. Green vs red, and the tooltip literally says 'You have learned this' or 'You have not learned this'.

The books themselves don't show anything to tell you, you have to look at your skill list.

You can just read the actual book description... It tells yuo if you can use it or not.


When you learn the book you level it 10x faster, (you get 10x More Skill Points) it doesn't reduced the exp required, because that would have effect any skill points you gained before studying the book.

Actually the books do say you have already learned them on scroll over if you have, they also have that cannot use icon on them. :P

Didn't see the post, and maybe even if I did, likely I'd think it was some harsh put down as you and tai have the habit of doing and might even have skipped reading it because of it.
Thx Jicaa I'll study what it says there some more, its true I just looked at the skill page only briefly.
Edit:Ok I see the green text now, which normally is orange. :black_eyed:

MM is not to bad, but its the shamens that hurt, and they have an 100% hit.. its not like euro where they just randomly shot at anything even if not facing you, these will only shoot if it can hit you, and it will!

Yeah, they're like some sorta zombie fking sniper. Even running past across the screen they are insta-no scoping you like an adolescent Cod player. Fun though, especially with entrapment - pull over, TBD, FS, ded
