Coeiv vs Morwenna (10/08/2026)

This log highlights why we packrat consumables and why I'm fairly outspoken against the cut to bag capacity. I need these consumables to be competitive against Mal based classes. 7 gyvels, 6 failures. Without being able to stockpile these things, combat becomes incredibly one sided. That's also 60 80 hit dam with a vuln staff, but without being able to influence the tempo of the fight and accurate movement you just get pummeled. The gyvels weighing 6lbs, and backpacks being so drastically scaled back means I likely won't ever win this fight.

Capacity wasn't cut. The number of items and the amount of weight the bag could hold wasn't adjusted. Only its weight multiplier (which I will grant indirectly changed the amount of weight it could carry.)

I need these consumables to be competitive against Mal based classes. 7 gyvels, 6 failures.

Fair. Though you quaffed a red and five gyvels in that fight. One of your quaffs isn't shown in this log.
During the first blindness, the red failed and a gyvel succeeded.
During the second blindness, four gyvels failed. Bad luck, but it happens. You are trying to dispel a L49 blindness with a L45 cure, after all. One should expect to cure that level of blindness with gyvels on or before the 4th quaff 75% of the time. I guess the second blindness was one of the 25% of the times it didn't. This would have played out this way regardless of if you had 5 or 50 gyvels stockpiled. They don't do a whole lot of good inside a backpack if you can't see the backpack.

Without being able to stockpile these things, combat becomes incredibly one sided.

Nobody says you can't stockpile them still. A sack with 100# carry capacity can hold 16 gyvels. A backpack with a 100# carry capacity and a 45% weight reduction can hold 30 gyvels. Yes, both of those containers will weigh in at 100lbs each, but you can still stockpile those things. My morts tend to run with 20-odd gyvels at any given time.
There's also other containers out there that have a lower multiplier, and I don't mean from crafting.
Will you need to make a choice between [heavy item] and [more consumables]? Possibly. But that's a choice you make.

Also: This is you, right? You're under half of your carry capacity right now. You have 119 lbs to spare before you hit that 50% mark, and in a bought backpack, that's a full backpack worth of gyvels with room to spare.
Yes, you have 8 free inventory slots, but 8 is usually plenty where gyvels are concerned.

The gyvels weighing 6lbs, and backpacks being so drastically scaled back means I likely won't ever win this fight.

What's the difference between a backpack being able to hold 30 gyvels and a backpack that is able to hold 166 gyvels? Sorry, no. 100 gyvels as you'll hit the quantity capacity long before you hit the weight capacity there. That you can stick a half a ton, literally, of other consumables into the one that can carry 166 gyvels worth of weight?

That's also 60 80 hit dam with a vuln staff, but without being able to influence the tempo of the fight and accurate movement you just get pummeled.

Has nothing to do with stockpiling consumables. Unless you're counting your consumables into that figure. However, I will agree with the observation.

yep, at least gyvels are fairly high success rate. The stupid eyeballs have a very low success rate. Once you've used the limited supply inventory? good luck! You can't see your bag to get more... You're just expected to full sprint away while blind till you can reset. And! you can expect to be blind every single time, because you'll be charmed. If charm fails, they'll just run away. Zero incentive for them to fight without all the advantages of charm and free mals. The game is cooked.

Are you aware that the WM eyeballs are the same strength as gyvels? For non-Barbs. Yeah, as a non-barb, you can ignore the Level 25 spells of: 'cure blindness'. Same goes for their herbs.
With respect to the "limited supply inventory," that would be the same whether or not you had gyvels or bloodwolf eyes.

In case you missed where I said that you can ignore the whole "level x: cure blindness" if you're a non-barb.

Well I now need more backpacks, which for giants inventory space matters. You can see I'm 500lbs below limit, but I'm also at 30 of 38 items. Now realistically I need another pack for consumables, so that leaves 7 slots open. In this log I used 7 gyvels and a red. My entire free inventory trying to cure blindness. This change definitely impacts low dex melee harder than others except maybe packrat druids because of the raw amount of potions they need to carry.

Again, you quaffed only 5 potions shown in this log and 6 in the full log. One red, five gyvels. That left you with two slots free. One, if you have to save a slot for a travel bag or similar to be pulled from your backpack. If there actually was a seventh consumed, it was either long before or long after this battle.

I get it. You're not used to doing such. The thought may not have ever crossed your mind. I tend to replenish my inventory often, especially on low dexterity races when fighting classes that can blind. Especially when my mal saves are effectively zero like yours are.
I also get that that is also a choice. You're fighting a vampire. Do you prepare for the melee? The blindness and ecstasy? To be fair, I'd probably rely heavily on gyvels, too. It's why I usually carry as many as I can get, having upwards to 30 gyvels on me. Mostly in my bag because of inventory space. But then, I also refresh my inventory as mentioned before. I don't care how many you have, gyvels do you no good inside your bags.

Two of those 38 slots you picked up from exploring, getting the talent, which helps offset this particular complaint. Along with the +weight talent for those low-strength races, also gained from exploring. It's not a coincidence that these three things were rolled out so close to each other. Professions, exploration and the container change.

Your backpack has some 30 items inside of it and weighs in at around 25 lbs. That's some 20 gyvels you can stuff in there still. Not counting other consumables.

Portable Holes. You won't need a store-bought backpack. 9999 items you can stuff in there. 9999 lbs of weight with a 25% multiplier.
Last I checked, you had one. That's a lot of room for a lot of gyvels.

I understand you didn't like the change. I accept that. Given the current state of your character, you don't have much of a leg to stand on. You have a ton of available weight, plenty of inventory space (honestly, 8 slots for consumables is usually plenty) and buckets of container storage. All before we even get to your locker which has room for 200 more items if you ever needed 'extra' inventory slots. You're adapting quite well to the change itself.

Druids doesn't carry potions, they carry herbs that they make into potions. Had I made potions, they would disapear in time, but the herbs I can preserve for all future.

With that said, there are some herbs that weigh quite a lot. The spotted mushroom, I belive weighs three pounds (that is one big mushroom), and it ads up. Especially these mushrooms are important because the are brewed into cure critical potions (although I would say they're more like cure light in effectiveness) and even if I rarely use them, they have saved my life in the passed. Now, I have to rely on 10 mushrooms instead of 18 as I'm almost capped on weight to carry, to the extent that I can't pick up some keys.

Try being 315/350 weight with only 4 gyvels in your inventory and none in your bags. If you think 750 carry weight has it bad, try something with less than half that. I don't even have the option to really carry 7 gyvels. I cant even carry sparkling arrows because someone decided to bolts being heavy = lets make arrows heavier too. 750 carry weight is a godsend compared to what I'm dealing with right now.

Gyvel weight definitely needs to be looked into. I've advocated for several consumables to be looked at.

Overweight perk sounds GREAT for low strength races.

Sounds like some herbs need to be checked too.

Also, now lower strength races will need to consider armor weight as well.

Gyvel weight will not be changed. Nor will the spotted mushrooms.

This is exactly why they won't change.

(although I would say they're more like cure light in effectiveness)

Heh. I can see how it can feel like it at times, but they're nowhere close.

If you're wondering, and even if you're not:
A L20 cast of--
Cure light: 1d8+lvl/3 hp 7-14 (avg 10.5)
Cure critical: 3d8+lvl-6 hp 17-38 (avg 27.5)

The cure critical minimum is higher than the cure light maximum.

My main question is whether there are timers on charm spells from Vamps and Necros that prevents them from never truly engaging and spamming it until it finally lands.

If it fails the vamp can immediately flee and try again. I believe it is the same for necro, but I can't say for sure. There's a log of seluniel vs morwenna where they fled to try to immediately recast several times.

I know a Rogue path can do it. But with the current system in place, I really feel classes that can take such a huge advantage from it should definitely have more checks in place. Even on failures.

Meant to post under my forum handle. Its easy to forget. I wonder why the 'anonymous' option is here if we can't actually post anonymously.

I'd actually like to see self poisoning make a return. Now the classes that historically relied on sleep to set things up don't really need it. In this log I would have lost with ecstasy landing at all, x just makes it easier

You can still poison yourself. You just can't buy cheap L0 poison that you don't have to worry about it ever rotting on you. Find other ways. Kill a mob for its guts, for example. Though that example does not have a very long shelf lift.
