Support for that is planned in Manaserv.TheBasilisk wrote:I know that this is somewhat off-topic, but is it possible to have two "hand" slots? Allowing one, for example, to carry two daggers as well as one dagger and a shield. Any approvals/disapprovals?
Re: Scythe & Shield
By the way: eAthena should already have proper support and balanced game rules for equipping two one-handed weapons. The RO Assassin class is able to do this.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

I am going to look at how far Fother has got on the Player set soon and will try to finish off at lest the one handed slash attack so I can start on the adjustments to the equipment as well.Rotonen wrote:Everyone interested in the progression of the project is more than welcome to help with the player set since it is blocking a lot of other work.
Right now I'm just in contact with Ubuntu tech help to get my tablet working on my new system. After that I will be able too resume my more active role for content development.

The jump from a +15 Dagger damage to +75 Scythe damage is already unbalanced, imho. A small disadvantage isn't unreasonable.
Most players don't have a shield by the time they get the Scythe other than the leather shield which makes little difference in saving a player (and isn't intended to either).
Most players never keep the scythe for great lengths of time because the Short Sword soon replaces it. (It is a rarely seen tool used in game, from observation.)
Many players bypass the tool altogether and are led to the Short Sword by helpful higher level players. And that is not a reflection on the lack of shielding.
Another possibility is to give the Scythe +100 while removing the shielding. This would make it as strong as the Short Sword (too easily attainable these days) but still at a disadvantage.
Doulos suggestion for damage change ACKed by development team and pushed in commit c60b2c75. Therefore, suggestion implemented and topic closed. Open a new one if you still have considerations to make.
