and how much cash are you gona spend?

 

[sirexairman]

I think Giving The Lords Uber stuff is a good idea but not the rest mabye captains

 

[lalu]

im going to run between keeps and give stuffs to lord captains bla bla. also im going to craft leather armors for keep archers.

Any evidence this isn’t bugged and is not a TOTAL waste of time effort and shoddy weapons

do they get sc bonuses, lord would rock with a masterpiece plate set

It is a complete waste of money.

Guards lose the item after they die for the first time.

They do get some of the sc bonuses, specfically the stat bonuses, but they don't work the same way that they do for players.

If you have spare cash spend it on door upgrades.

If you have spare weapons salvage/sell them and spend it on door upgrades.

In summary....

Door upgrades > guard equipment upgrades.

When you've got both doors to 100% and level 10 at every keep, and you've bought me a set of MP chain, then we'll talk about items for guards.

 

[Jiggs]

it works, vegeance did it once, and black falcons did it to beno once also

sure, the guards etc die and you lose the stuff, but that 'initial charge' from the guards can wipe a 2fg easy if they are all kitted out in crafted

it can make the diff between getting to the keep in time to save it and not

 

[old.Ramas]

Oh, and the guards lose their items everytime the server is rebooted as well.

 

[kirennia]

and you cant give them armour accprding to the patch notes.

Still, you make say it's 'only' the 97/98 stuff or whatever but still, say you make an order for a weapon that will normally cost 1 plat for a person at 99% (random figures). That cost is including selling the 98/97 ones back to the merchants. Without doing this, that weapon would cost more like 2.5plat. Who would honestly pay this for a weapon when you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

I'm not willing to sacrifice 100g a pop it is roughly per guard just for the sake of them being wiped by a hib/mid zerg, it just isnt worth it. Ok, give a random drop to lord but not to random guards.

In short, save the money instead and spend it on keep doors instead

 

[Sohan_THC]

i be happy to put some stats on the armour / weapons.

dunno if that works , but a scout with +5 longbow +5 dex +5 con would do some nice side effect.

The lord with some sleeves that has some resists etc )

hmm yeah could be fun.

anyway pm me if you want an alchemist for the last touch

great idea m8

 

[Seviel]

hm.. cant we just give em some Df armor ?
or dose is not work ?

 

[old.Ramas]

It doesn't work, and also if you have spare DF armour, you should get it salvaged, trinketed, sold, and then use the cash on door upgrades.

Or just give it to a guildie of course.

 

[zlair]

erm, guys...

its not the upgrade that costs a lot... its the repair afterwards thats frekking expensive

 

[old.Ramas]

Upgrade and repair to lvl 10 with Ironwood costs something a littel north of 2.5 plat.

The whole way up however, every gold spent will give better value and longer reaction time for albs to get to a keep under attack, than wasting equipment on guards will.

You will also get better results from just equipping random alb players with crafted armour.

 

[Rnp]

why not just give the bowmen dragon bows while ur ad it

 

[old.Ramas]

Or as someone on another thread suggested, just start using bags of money as catapult ammo.
