    Hello,

    I have played many years ago on Neverlands, Crystalgate, Icrontic, Ikrontic, so I know the core rulesets well, but know that every freeshard has its own differencies.

    I have af few questions i did not seem to be able to find here on the forums:

    - does poison affect the magery spell poison? if so is it possible to cast Deadly P and even Lethal P?
    - does eval int increase the dmg made by spells?
    - how much is the defence bonus with GM inscription? and which spells benefits froms inscription?
    - is it worth having anatomy to be able to stun and disarm?
    - does wrestling affect disruption when casting?
    - how does the wrestling defence bonus when combining anatomy and eval int work?
    - is the magic weaps found on monsters like vanquising and such any good or are the valorite and verite weaps consideres the best?
    - can you craft magic clothes?
    - can you craft magic jewels with tinkering?
    - are there any special things implemented on this shard that is good to know for a newcomer?
    - I know how to get money and so on, but I havnt got much time, so can you suggest a good way to make money pretty fast?

    Welcome to the shard!

    - does poison affect the magery spell poison? if so is it possible to cast Deadly P and even Lethal P?
    Yes. Magery + Poisoning - (If range is 3+ tiles, range to target * 10) At 200, 10% chance to deadly poison, otherwise greater. At 170-199.9 greater poison. At 130-169.9 poison. All other situations lesser poison.
    - does eval int increase the dmg made by spells?
    Yes
    - how much is the defence bonus with GM inscription? and which spells benefits froms inscription?
    Yes.
    Reactive Armour: Magery + Meditation + Inscription / 3. With a max damage absorbption of 75 points
    Protection: Evaluating Intelligence + Meditation + Inscription /4. With a max duration of 75 seconds
    Magic Reflection: (Magery + Inscription) /200 * 7 + 8 = Circles of spells that can be reflected. Or approximately 2 level 6 spells at gm magery and gm inscription. With a minimum of 1 level 7 spell with gm Magery
    There is cooldown period after these spells wear off.
    - is it worth having anatomy to be able to stun and disarm?
    It certainly is. Many people swear by the stun mage templates.
    - does wrestling affect disruption when casting?
    Wrestling reduces the chance of being hit thus reducing the chance of interruption as well as provides the chance to interurrupt another spellcaster.
    - how does the wrestling defence bonus when combining anatomy and eval int work?
    (Evalint + Anatomy)/2] = Defensive Wrestle
    - is the magic weaps found on monsters like vanquising and such any good or are the valorite and verite weaps consideres the best?
    They're very good. The runic weapons can be better but I don't think anyone's even seen a valorite one yet.
    - can you craft magic clothes?
    No.
    - can you craft magic jewels with tinkering?
    No.
    - are there any special things implemented on this shard that is good to know for a newcomer?

    - I know how to get money and so on, but I havnt got much time, so can you suggest a good way to make money pretty fast?

    You could spend your time mining and selling ingots but you can train provocation for free and be out hunting big game in no time. All you really need is GM music and provo and the ability to reliably lay down a bladespirit to be at near maximum earning potential. Try this out.

    A lot of people also go the fishing direction, which is not for me really, but has yielded a lot of gold for other people. Just be careful not to get caught unattended too many times.

    Making a tailor can be somewhat inexpensive as well and you can start collecting BOD (Bulk Order Deeds) which can earn you some start up gold.

    Personally, I recommend making 1 character on each of your allotted three accounts and have fun. Choose one of each of the aforementioned professions, play one while macroing the other two then switch when you hit a wall of boredom.
