Re: The 12 Labors Tournament
[HIGHLIGHT]Rules Clarifications[/HIGHLIGHT]
Answering JimmyofJudacca:Yes, the rules are clear, you may not use Leap or teleport in the Drifter Canyon, but you may use Leap or teleport on the Glacial Trail. [And, yes, there was a reason that I designed it that way.] JDkerr's account did not specifically say that he used Leap in the Drifter Canyon, but if he did so then that was a disqualifier as well.
Answering purplelocust:
1. First welcome!
2. you are correct that Quilted Armor is meant to be included as a non-metallic armor item. I am editing the rules in the first post to correct that and include Quilted Armor. Thanks for catching that.
3. In Blister Lister, the requirement is that you have at least 200% MF on your armor - all armor, not just the body armor. This is a fairly nominal level for a MF character and is consistent with the "Vengeance of the Magic Finders" premise for Blister Lister. It is intended to slightly increase the difficulty of the Blister Lister task and force you to make choices on your gear.
Answering Krupa: Well, I am confused. I wrote the Decease DeSeis rules such that they require that your A2 Merc wield a weapon socketed with 6 runes spelling out DeSeis - but Krupa states that Polearms and Spears with 6 sockets are not available in A4 NM.
I've just done some quick research. Weapons that are ilvl =41 or higher are eligible to get their maximum possible number of sockets. That means that 4 normal weapons (spetum, pike, halberd and war scythe) could all have 6os at Ilvl=41, plus the yari and lance (with qlvls of 41 and 44) also become available to get 6os. there are also 2 exceptional spears (Bec-de-corbin and Grim Scythe) with 6os possibilities, although they have qlvls of 51 and 55 which means they would be much harder to find by A4 NM.
Do I mis-understand something? Are 6os spears and polearms rare or non-existent in NM?
