Question about drop rate.
I think i readed somewhere in forum, that when you decrase exp - drop decrases automatically. Is it true? (I used to decrase it program that Rudy did). Cause yesterday I changed exp, and now money drop is too small... Can I somehow change only the WZ rate ?
Edit
I found a tool that changes monster drop one by one, i will try it and tell the results.
Re: Question about drop rate.
akaruz said time ago exp / drop / wz are related.
take the wz problem to your advantage. if you have been playing in the old ara3p2 by fabio you should know what is limados. its not that hard to implement, and it adds something special to your server.
Re: Question about drop rate.
Ah, so i think that tool just change items that monsters drop, not rate... Thanks.
No i didnt played in ara, i had lags there (im from Poland. india and a3gs is too laggy as hell) so i dont know what is limados. Exp in my opinion is good, but 300 wz from dark olgoc in c1 is not enough, people are not happy abouy that.
Ahh maybe it was that "event", people earn money for exp? Yea its cool, but how to do that ?
Re: Question about drop rate.
limados: weekly automatic event, accumulated exp during the week is paid in wz.
whats the exp value from a nemora?
Re: Question about drop rate.
Calculator shows me now 25.
You did that event automatically? I mean money was putted to storage automatically or you were doing that manually?
I found the way for money... @MoneyEvent. Now olgoc drops 5-9k in support, not 500 - 800 like it was.

original exp from a nemora (x1) is 24. are you sure this is the right value from your files? how much time does it takes to reach lvl 40 without help/support?
for limados: add a column on each charac0, must be a 32bits value or higher. write a program to read the _EXP/ tag on mbody field and pay the difference with the column you just added. you have to do it on server downtime. less than 1 hour per week doesnt hurt anyone.
first off: make up your mind, dont do what players want but do what you consider its right.
1) if you want to setup a fast server then exp x 10 is OK. consider then with this exp in less than a month you will have players touching lvl 160 (I did that in game haze and even the gm was swearing at me because they thougth I was cheating).
Personally I dont like fast servers. People doesnt tend to donate on them and thats why they dissapear so fast. Consider this point carefully unless you plan to have your server for a few months only.
2) if you plan to setup a hard server, exp x2 is OK. Its is not the wz that counts in this case, but the drop. Mercs help a lot in the process. Also consider to change the price of resurection potion for shues from 200k to 20k. Item bug also may help to keep the complains at minimum, but at the cost of having most of the players at lvl 100. With this setup you can sell specific items (ie: ores, stab, catas or even wz) for a reasoable amount of real money and mantain your server. obviosly you cant do this on a fast server because everyone can get those things by themselves.
but unless your server is on a beta test, I guess its a little too late to make such change of policy.
hope this helps. RM.
Re: Question about drop rate.
Thanks a lot for your tips. People from my server want big exp (resets etc) but in my opinion it is the stupidest thing i might do. I remember when i was playing on high rate - 1 week and I was off. People beg me for changing money (300 from olgoc is really low) so i understand that, but exp is good.
And yes, it is 25 from memora if Im doing it right (put the code to hex and change to dec, like Legendary mentioned in his guide)
Some people have something about 100 lvl now, but they did it on high exp. Im considering to reset it (I wrote that this is a test server) and open it for all people that want play a3 (but cant on others server because of lags). Im only sad, because i think that people who play right now will leave, because they spend some time to play on my serv. I dunno what to do, I only want a low rate server like i was dreaming for from years. People only care for their lvls, they dont see new players who will have smaller lvls and worst work to do. Being an admin is harder that I thought. I dont want to have my server for 2 weeks, but i dont want too 5 peoples in my server...

I truly understand that. Thats why I get mad at those fast servers, they are killing whats left of the game and they dont notice that. I called them A3 version of Counter Strike, because everyone has the same defense and everyone hits the same.
my suggestion is to do the following: for those who did a beta test, pay them some wz in the wh (you pick the criteria, may be based on exp or llvl or a fixed amount). you only have to filter those chars whose lvl is higher than a certain criteria, lets say lvl 40.
when you create a char and kill a single nemora at lvl 1, how much exp you get in % ?
Re: Question about drop rate.
42.45% from memora.
A question: do I need some special client for tower event? Cause Im using a3gs one, but I think its not compatible with it.
Re: Question about drop rate.
exp seems OK, a bit higher than 1.
i was able to enter TE with an standar ara3 client (should say: an original akaruz & fabio client)
im going to post my tool for the limados if you want to use it.
Re: Question about drop rate.
Yes I will be happy if you can do that, it could help me a lot.
Where should be npc of tower event?
Ah you posted it. Thanks.
Re: Question about drop rate.
theres a tower.ini or something like that inside zoneserver
sorry for not being specific. this file contains the times when the tower opens. when thats happens an npc appears in both cities temoz and quana.
Re: Question about drop rate.
Ok ill try it later than.
I know what can i do with high lvl players. I will take the exp that they did and divide it, lets say on 4. The result will say what lvl they should have (each lvl have own exp limit). One thing is that i dont know how much exp is on each lvl. Do you know that ?
Re: Question about drop rate.
it doesnt matter. if you plan to deleveling those chars and leaves them only with the exp, just put them on level 1, and when they hit 1 nemora they will bump to the appropiate level.
try it. put 1kkk of exp on a lvl 1 char and kill a nemora.
edit: I suggest to go for a reward in wz instead.
Re: Question about drop rate.
I want delvl them and put the exp that is needed for each lvl. Lets say it will be 50 (50kk exp needed) so i put in on char table. But when i delvl them to 30 and put 50kk exp it will be 50 i one hit like your saying. Thats why i need those informations about exp limit on each lvl.
I think that they will stop play in only wz reward.
