After talking with AV for a bit and not getting screamed at by anyone so far, I've added quite a few lower level random artifacts to the alchemy formulae. My hope is that by making reasonable equipment available through alchemy it will be beneficial enough at low levels to be used more. Of course, I hope I haven't unbalanced things terribly much. In addition, I have beefed up the damage on some of the special arrows as well to make them a bit more useful and made a few of the more difficult formulae a bit simpler to collect items for / cast successfully. Diffs from current cvs are attached, please yell at me if I've made anything too simple. johnny PGP Public Key available from: http://www.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x17BF1DD3 -------------- next part -------------- --- formulae.orig Sun Apr 7 18:29:34 2002 +++ formulae Tue Apr 9 18:29:36 2002 @@ -166,6 +166,12 @@ chance 40 ingred 3 emerald,water of the wise # +# water of pearl +Object pearl +arch water +chance 40 +ingred 3 pearl,water of the wise +# # # -------------- # Potions -- incl. balms, figurines, and dusts @@ -183,12 +189,18 @@ chance 25 ingred 3 dragon scale,water of the wise # -# -- cold prot. +# -- cold prot. #1 Object warmth arch balm_generic chance 25 ingred chinese dragon's steak,water of the wise,icecube # +# -- cold prot. #2 +Object warmth +arch balm_generic +chance 25 +ingred chinese dragon's steak,water of the wise,water of pearl +# # -- elect prot.
