Easing the requirements for lv4 spells

1
Author Content Date
At present, the requirements for level 4 spells are insane.

No rational human being, unless you are high level multi can be expected to obtain a 'Large Diamond' and find a NPC who allegedly appears only for a few minutes.

This is unrealistic and as always the 'small elite' will end up with the high level spells, worsening the experience for casual players and putting us at a disadvantage.

Solution: Simply have a high barr or devils blood requirement from the black or white magicians at TYT for level 4 spells.

Furthermore, perhaps you could include level 5, 6, 7 spells etc?

Finally a quick suggestion regarding the blue magic 'Frost Wind', if it hits 3 or 4 monsters, then you should logically be gaining int 3 or 4 times as fast.
At the moment regardless of how many you hit, you can only stats as if you were attacking just one monsters Could this be rectified?

One does hope you just have a warped sense of humour and this is all a joke...

Level 4 spells are supposed to indicate you are a proper mage... The number of people with level 3 spells already is quite hilarious, and yet you want level 4 to be made even more accessible?

From the way I look at it there's nothing to fix. You already gain stats from AoE spells.

Another whining thread about something dedicated players may get that casual players may not. Level 4 spells are meant to be rare, best of the best.

Multies aside because they're a different story, it's annoying how some people think that dedicated players should not be rewarded for their time spent. Casual players can't expect to be on par with dedicated players, those that play more usually get more can't really expect more for playing less.

i do agree to some level that the reqs to get lvl 4 spells does seem very high and with alot of the lvl4 spell there aint a huge improvement to the spell for the cost, not sure how other weapon classes would feel if they need to go to the same lengths need to get there last aura, and as a result there is no real Mage class in Hsoma since every man and his dog ends up being some sort of warmage.

Thats the point in H Soma though, you can be more flexible. I like the current method for getting the spell, it makes it very rare and a luxury for those who have worked to obtain it.

When it first was obtained in e soma, me and my friends thought of it as a myth until we saw it for the first time.

Level 4 spells are fine as they are, next we'll be complaining about needing a Nahwan's for eva, or a KE for accuracy...

Soma is about random drops, i'm not an overly hardcore player, 190 hours played.

Saying that, I have had 2 DB's, 2 AT's and an SP drop.

It's all in the luck of the draw.

Furthermore, screw lvl 4 spells, get dex!

I don't see your point, eventually even casual players will be able to kill the mobs that drop small diamonds.

What, you want everything right now? Go play wow man....
