Hanging out in the graveyard

Hanging out in the graveyard

Hello, my name is Tarq, and I'm a graveyard addict. It's a bad T.V. cliche, but hanging out in the mana world graveyard is a lot of fun. Each time I seem to meet new people stack fighting skeletons, zombies, and lady skeletons in the graveyard. This time we even spotted Jack'o outside the graveyard.

Helene, Milady, Cujo78, bops, Paris and I all swarmed the denizens of the graveyard for about 15 minutes (I had to get ready for work after - or rather write this quickly before getting ready for work). We saw KillerZ knocking away solo. I probably should do the same.

Stack fighting in the graveyard is great if your goal is experience. It's not so great if your goal is to get bones for the bone quest (or a heart), the problem is everyone wants a piece of the prize and if you're not high enough level, or optimized for graveyard fighting, you probably won't get the "drop." I managed to get 1 skull, but pretty much the who time stacking for me was about experience. In that 15 minutes or so I got about 14% experience. It's not bad considering the graveyard seemed a little more quiet this morning and I soloed for a little bit outside the graveyard before making it there (where I did get a couple more drops, but no bones).

Stacking with ChefChelios

Chef Chelios and I stacked in the Hurnscald mines this evening killing a slew of spiders and black scorpions, enough to increase my experience by 25% over a period of about 15 minutes - less time than I'd spent to get 5% experience by myself - stacking really helps!

I also finally got magic working correctly on my own server: auldsbel.dyndns.org. Now the last thing I have to correct is changing the updates from the main server to my own updates. I've kept them for the moment while I work on other things.

I've set up another development server locally to test scripts out on. The "Captain Easton" NPC in Tulimshar on my server is the result of this. I'm continuing to develop the Captain, swatting bugs on the development server before pushing them to the main server.
