JaceK, North of recall, The boy should give you an hint. Have you done his quest?

I'm not that bad of a team mate it turns out. Retooled my build into set fire to /everything/ and it works okay. Until I run into bears, that is. Or things that do physical damage, then thud

I started playing this last night and i am now kind of stuck with this one quest with the house on the south east on the town.

Wow, that would be awesome!

Something started is easier to adjust and expand.
I'm not really sure how one pack will work for all though.

@JaceK:

You might want to look at config combattext if you're getting too much spam in group battles.

If you send me an email, I can give you the triggers for what I have, but the code is not super pretty, it's only for VIP Mud, and I took most of the sounds from:
https://www.materiamagica.com/support/downloads.html 
Go to the heading that says "Sound Packs" and download the MP3 version.

I'm not sure how licencing works for something like this, and I don't know how licenses work if I'm using commercial sounds I bought a licence to.

I have been playing way too much of this game LOL, it's way too addictive and I'm not even participating in all the excitement around the new hand-to-hand fighting moves that have come out.

This is one of those games where you feel like you're doing something important, as soon as you're done with the quests in the town. There's no level grinding. What makes this game even more interesting, is that all players make something called a lair, and it's one of the core mechanics that you loot treasure from their hoards. There are some hoards that get looted almost as fast as they reset, and there are others that never get looted.

If you're looking for a MUD with endless options for fighting builds, a mud where you can build your own castle other people will visit, or a crafting system that is very useful and well-done, then ConQuest is where you want to b.

I was thinking of giving this one a try. I know there are some magical options for abilities and I was wondering what there was fo explore right now in that area for skills.

I think I'll have trouble getting the equipment I need but with the degree of customization the game has going to give it a try.

Also, what would you recommend as a good strategy to fighting. Not so much skill sand such but just general attack and defensive patterns and such?

@41:

Dodge. Dodge like crazy. If you go magic, shield and take healing stuff. Or parry.

@42:

I don't recall creating an account but I went line by line and filled in what it asked for and got to playing

ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS!
Now conquest has sounds.
Basically,
THERE IS A LINK TO A PLAYER MADE SOUNDPACK!
Got your attention? good.
One of my friends made a soundpack, and the newest version can be found at:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5uf500r990h02 … e.zip?dl=1
Edited my first post so when new updates come in you will have the link on the first page.
The sounds will slowly be changed to...more original ones, but for now the game will be easier to play with the current ones.

Also, Look for my character, Kaede if you need help or want to group.
I'm pretty active and having a lot of fun, and I love helping newbies get started.

@45:

And a portable one too, thank me for that asking Rayne in game for one since I was having nothing but issues with making the pack work with MUSH. You should know all about that. Oh shit, you'r Kaede...welp, you should work out who I am real easy by this post.

Soundpack's good, I just need to remember what is what sound wise...also yes, I can attest to how helpful you are on game, too. We got a good, helpful guild going in that regard

@45:

Not that I know of, no...but you can always bind recall stones to a location.

Alright, so. Can I unbind recall stones or something? I've one I want rid of, a copy of a lair one and I wanna rebind it without making a new one.

Also, how in the world are you supposed to deal with swashbucklers? Either I need insane parry, or insane dodge.
