Blackwater Gear

Jackson,

That sounds good to me!

I have thought about dual wielding the poison daggers, but that's about it. I personally don't like sets, because I want to be able to choose from as wide a selection of gear as possible to balance my stats the way I want. I'm a very technical player though, and not everyone wants to micro-balance everything the way I do

I think the BW set is really good at intermediate levels. I like the idea of completing the set, if it's only available at a higher level. Throwing out an idea, we put a new NPC in Remgard that's a traveler that was looking to make some money trading armor. He was in BW settlement trading some goods, and had heard Remgard was famous for it's quality armor. So he decided to buy a couple of pieces of BW armor and sell them when he was next in Remgard. Now he's in Remgard nobody wants them though, because of some nasty negative effects they have on the wearer. He has gloves and boots, and if you are interested he'll sell them at knock down prices, just to cut his losses. Anyone that has the set can then boost it up, and anyone that doesn't (and picked the right side at BWM) could buy them and return to BW settlement to get the rest.

i think that sounds like i great idea!

We've also discussed adding some more background lore and geography to some NPC's dialogue. If the new NPC is a widely traveled trader, he would be a good candidate for that. "What can you tell me about the places you have traveled to?" // "I've been trading for my whole life, and could talk about that for days!" // Etc Etc.

Edit: Just put this on my to-do list. Unless other dev team members disagree, I would like to get this done for 0,7.2. IMO, the amount of work is small compared to the benefits to the game.

Sounds good!

Anybody out there actually using the Blackwater set?

[nyktos]

i used it on my new character & might play with it when he is stronger?

so, yes - i have it on my character, just in case...

those buff are just too hard to ignore.

I agree. The crit buff doesn't really matter beyond a certain point (it just means no crits), but the AC buff is kind of brutal. Maybe reduce it?

You beef-up your AC with the dagger proficiency and dual wield skills and you don't even feel the blackwater misery's -50 AC
