Well i have skeptic (almost a month now) to avoid negative/degrade hours so i can train a/d in peace also it is said that with skeptic perk its hard to find removal stones (big lie: found a arti removal/1 physique and a coord) and also u have less chances of an item get degraded ....... Well this happened to me this hour as i trained at fluff : 1. Steel cuisses got degraded 2. CoL got degraded i was wearing nmt Was it my fucking luck? New server update? or perk skeptic is a lie? what do u think? |

afaik, skeptic only removes astro it does not make anything more or less likely, finding removal stones is good luck and damaging stuff is bad luck, i dont think skeptic perk affects this in any way. |

Funny you should mention this... I personally think that the skeptic perk doesnt 100% take away the astro effect (or maybe it was always like this, and I never noticed will after astro came in). And I base this on that I sometimes, when training could get like 2.6mil exp with a full load of he/sr, and on other days I could only get like 1.8mil or so, and that was when training Feros (meaning they dont have variable stats like chim wolves/yeti/cockatrice/dragon), I'll also add that getting ganged more times in one session than another is not the case, I took that into consideration aswell. I've noticed this when harvesting too, that some days I can harv 1-2k ores and only have one event, and other days have an event or 2 almost every load I take to storage (being iron ore, that was about 4+ events in 1k), and this was pretty consistant, also I would harvest atleast about 5-6k in one session, so I'm not basing it on a 1k vs 1k experiment. Then again, I don't take as much notice of stuff when harvesting as I do when training, so it could just be coincidence. Still, I'm pretty convinced that there is some form of astrology even if you have taken skeptic. Edit: oh, and about breaking stuff, you will never know... one no drops day I degraded a CoL, greaves and 2 swords, and on others I can fight all day and damage nothing. That was prolly just bad luck (or else you maybe killed Radu's alt, and he took revenge on you )

i would say thats because of the last update... and i don't real now if the skeptic perk makes any big difference with the astro stuff, because i took it as soon as it were available and i don't mix/harv anything since a very long time now Edited by Marr, Apr 19 2008, 05:39 PM.

In the last month since I took skeptic I really havn't noticed all that much of a difference. I still seem to break armor at the same rate I did when I had astro. Also on the days that I harvest I generally either get smacked to hell and have a few events every trip to the silver or I don't get any events at all. |

You always have good days and bad days, always have done, even before astro. However with astro you can see with an inicator if you're gonna have a good or bad day (to an extent). Even with perfect astro you still have bad days (3 vial molds in 150 vials with perect degrade is a time I remember). It's all luck, and I doubt there is anything underhanded about how skeptic works. |

From my experiences on the PK server i can very confidently say it does work, at least to a decent degree. |

I have the feeling that it doesn't totally put astro at zero stats. you still have a slight difference in events every day. one day i get no events and next it just sucks big time. and i happen to have exact opposit of my alt so when i check his astro (he has no skeptic) and he has a good day i will have a bad with skeptic. its just not as bad as it used tobe with astro. |

luck inherently produces variations on its own, im sure its nothing more than this that you are experiencing. |

There has always been bad and good luck running around in EL for breakage finding things and probably anything you can do in game that has a variable result attached. Skeptic does work 100% and good and bad luck are still there. The break rates are higher because of the server update but you can still avoid breakage even with bad astro if you are lucky. I think luck is more powerful in game than astro is. Tirun |
