Holy Mana's not that great here either

>>I understand that warrior mages aren't very helpful in a triage situation,

Zephyr, anyone?

And I am not disagreeing on the mana levels, since the two major WM hangouts on Ratha are not popular with most other guilds and are definitely not general meeting areas.

Most of the Ratha traffic through one of the rooms is because Kraelyst's Ratha travel script seems to always want to base travel between locations on the herbalist's shop in the next room.

Then again, Kraelyst's travel scripts always seem to not include several of the areas I need to stop off at, for one reason or another. For example, the water trough on Ratha seond tier, for us cheap alchemists.

Hehe, if nemmiro stones weren't broken that could be one situational fix on situations like this. The moon-mana stone actually does work, and raised my friend's available mana considerably at first, slowly diminishing over the course of 10 minutes. Still, going from flickering to quickly pulsating is more than enough to plop down a capped aethereal fissure, and let you train for 20 minutes or so. Now, if only the stones dropped more often - OR actually weren't broken. Well, maybe someday :)

Concertos and Sonatas
Nexus
The magical music of Nexus encourages Elemental mana in the area to flow more easily, resulting in an increase in that available for the spells of Bards and Warrior Mages. As a side effect to this, mages of all types may find their spells easier to cast while a Bard maintains the song. Nexus itself once had lyrics long ago, retelling the story of a powerful wizard's experiments, but most of the verses have been lost. Thankfully, the music alone is potent, but one wonders how intense the forgotten words would make it. Requirements: 10th Circle.

And this, or the equivalent, has been in existence for the Bards longer than Fissure has been around for the Warrior Mages. Believe me, I remember the WM complaints about being the only Primary Magic guild without a mana enhancer, when even some Tertiary Magic guilds (Paladins) got a mana booster...

Now, can Nexus and Fissure stack?

Two bards, or have the bard talk a friendly WM with Fissure into using it, since the elemental boost would work for any elemental mana user in the room.

Or adjacent, with enough Power Perception...

I think you're missing the point of the request Kyn. Suppose there is only the bard and the empath there?


Strangeguard Prayermaster

So the problem is not that Bards don't have a mana enhancer, but rather that Bardic enchantes, in general, do not have any true durational aspect once the enchante ends.

Whole different subject, IMO.

AndI could have sworn I saw a GM announcement, from one of the Bard GMs, that it was difficult but not impossible for two different bards to play/cast two different enchantes in the same room.

Healing/triage rooms are picked because they have good life/holy mana, which tends to preclude good Elemental mana.

Go to most high Life/Holy rooms and you'll find very little Elemental mana

That's been the case in my experience, anyway.

>::Runs around in circles:: Hence the request for the elemental mana to be boosted in those rooms

Sorry. I was trying to say there might be a reason for that.

Can stop chasing your tail. ;)

No Prob, I thought it was a good request/suggestion

>Using the same logic any room a critter can gen in the elemental should be set high

Whoa, easy killer. We'll never get what we want being THAT zealous.


Demrris' Resolve- Because bludgeoning MANY immobile things to death is fun.

-Quietly making Aveda do stupid things...

>Arbitrary and unfair? How?

Because other mana users don't get the same consideration? Well I guess maybe the blue berry patch was purposefully set high in elemental... too bad it's full of death spirits.

Ice Patch - Because bludgeoning immobile things to death is fun.

Lots more stuff coming 'Soon'!

>>Yes, for the record, ALL I was requesting was more elemental mana in healing/triage areas.

As a WM that was married to an Empath for years, I can understand this problem, we always chalked it up to Elemental Magic and Life mana being basically opposite, if you had one, you did not have much of the other, it's just the way it was. I do not know if it something to do with X amount of mana in a room, be it of any type, but it is very difficult to find any room in the entire realms where Elemental mana, Life mana and Holy mana are all "decent" or above. I surely have no answer for you, except to tell you, this is how it has been for as long as I can remember (10 years+), and not sure it will change, but it sure worth askin about!!

That being said, I would agree with the other poster about who picked the "hang out spots", or "triage areas", these were picked for 2 things, Holy Mana, and Life Mana, WM were never consulted, though you have a point, Bards should of been, but I fear we would still be looking for that one room ;)

As a fellow Elementalist, I will hope for improved mana for us in those rooms with you!

Thanks,
Player of Leothor

That might just be a bug with FoI where if someone else cast a fissure inside of it and left it would remain there indefinitely until someone else cast FoI. Just a theory, though.

<<I surely have no answer for you, except to tell you, this is how it has been for as long as I can remember (10 years+), and not sure it will change, but it sure worth askin about!!

Each area of a province has a total amount of each type of mana. This total amount is divided up among all of the rooms in that area, but not evenly. While the distribution is mostly random, consideration is given to where that room is located and what type of activities will most likely take place.

Now, for an illustration. Let's look at elemental mana. The total amount of elemental mana in an area of a province is set. Some rooms in the province may have hazy, some glowing, but the total is set and equals the life and holy mana for the same area. Since elemental mana is sought after in hunting areas, these rooms will have a + factor. Since the total amount is constant for the area, non hunting areas will see a - factor. Empaths, however, will be found more in safe areas or within towns, away from hunting areas. In these areas, life mana will see a + while a - in hunting areas. It is up to the GM who designs the area to take a look at how the type of mana is distributed through the area to ensure it makes sense with those characters who will most likely use a particular room.

It is intended to be a game, and while it never made sense for me to be able to bounce across the rainbow road or whatever it was called when I played Candyland, it never stopped me from doing it and enjoying the game.

Trebber,

Just a couple of points where my opinion differs from yours:

There are plenty of hunting areas, at least at the levels I hunt at, where the Elemental mana is fairly bad, even in the best room in the hunting area. I can still find plenty of non-combat areas with tons better Elemental mana than I can find in most hunting areas.

And don't Rangers, who use combat spells, use Life mana as well?

sorry to burst your bubble, but fissure works best in rooms with flickering and below.

prepping the spell at 10 mana and harnessing 5 mana twice, casting 4 times will give me blinding mana in any room, any time.

complain because you dont have the skills, not because the spell is lacking.

Took me a bit to find a room with low mana on kresh, had to goto the cleric guild actually, quite ironic.

Magic-

Power Perceive: 579 13% learning Magical Devices: 632 47% thoughtful
Targeted Magic: 592 92% clear


It appears that I was quite off in my statement, which is surprising, but not unexpected. Not sure why the 2nd cast didnt seem to raise the mana.

I may log into prime later and do further testing with lower magics. Although my magics are very similar to yours and will mostly likely see similar results to your casts.

~Eaglestalons

>>what you perceive is a range

While this is true, any significant mana cast of the spell should have bumped it up at least one step. I have, however, encountered a delayed effect with the spell, where if you perceive immediately after you cast the increase in mana will not display. Sometimes it takes a little while for the mana to be updated (or perhaps just the perceive messaging as I haven't tested whether it is the mana itself or just the messaging).
