High ac (non rare) eq

[Zhurong]

Does anyone know a lot of high ac eq that is not rare?

[Zavero]

The new elemental equipment is nice on AC.

[Pali]

Particularly Magic AC - the ash scarves my bmg wore to buff it for quite some time.

The mud bauble? or whatever it is called helps a lot. If you have any armor like the Ash Cloak, Gaunlets, Cutlets and anything else that holds sockets as armor put those suckers in it. Cutlets I find are by far some of the best leggings in game. 

[Pali]

Mud bauble is a good non-rare ac boosting socket, and the small charm from the Hamlet is as well - both also have stat boosts attached, so they can round out any negative points from other eq nicely.

Muddy bauble all day. That dex bonus is huge. Ninja caltrap what? Wait.. gimme like aaa 5 of those muddy bauble's please. 

[Magick]

While the dex (and dex protection) is nice (and primarily against the one class), dex isn't the be all; end all.  The same 5 sockets as charms will give you 75 moves, which is anywhere between 7 and 75 additional rooms before you run out, flight/mount depending.  Couple that with the tall perk and the spider slippers and that's an extra 275 moves.  On a feral, that should be in the neighborhood of 700 total moves.

What do you mean you're tired?  I'm not even flying!  lol

I've had plenty of characters with 900 moves. Talk about walking circles, even while being enfeebled.

.... Why? I've found I've NEVER needed more then 500. 

If you can't outrun who you're trying to outrun with 500... You're already as good as dead  

[Pali]

I know there are times I've escaped by running my opponent out of moves, so stacking them isn't necessarily a bad idea.  You may be LOSING if you're doing this in most cases (not all, sometime running the enemy out of moves chasing you when you're apparently weak is a viable tactic), but that doesn't mean you're as good as dead so long as they can't fully catch up.  Try catching a paladin with heroism up who is just running a circuit around the world - it simply cannot be done unless you can guess the route or otherwise intercept.

[Ulmusdorn]

The point I was trying to make is we have some extremely good chasers here. 

So unless you're going to lose them in your first few area jumps, you're going to have a very hard time outrunning them. 

Just my opinion is all. I've never heard H&R or Despiser say "Damn, I wish I had a 100 more moves to catch that guy cause I ran out of movement." 

[English lad]

Is Despiser back then?  Always such a good pker and Rper - but i thought he left after Martineius?

[Ulmusdorn]

Example only. 

Insert: Anume, Erelei, Lloth, Sarcon, Chesta, Kyz, Mindflayer if you prefer @English lad

[Fool_Hardy]

Since moves is the only retained energy source at death, having an exceptional amount many times makes the difference on how quickly you can return to your corpse. While I do not count on extra moves to increase my survivability in each lifetime, I do think they may count over the combined lives over my characters. That said, remember L.A.'s signature. You can run, but you will only die tired.

Oddly enough I find it harder to chase people with goto then just walking behind them when I have the need to follow someone

Goto is annoying 80% of the time except for that initial jump.

[Neldrin]

You have no idea how frustrating it is to goto someone to follow them around while they are moving....goto x, fol x, they aren't here.....goto x, fol x, they aren't here....f it....w, w, w, w, fol x, you now follow x

[Magick]

at mortal follow mortal:goto mortal

[Erelei]

He doesn't have at yet. Much higher level command. 

[Manual Labour]

I was kidding anyway.

Transfer > Goto btw

[Magick]

say Oh, you're not in trouble.  Never mind that I transfered you to Deep Shit.  I just wanted to follow you around and didn't feel like chasing you halfway across the lands.

Sounds legit.

*grins* WAAAAAAY back in 1.0, my healer Pali (my namesake!) would find an IMM in a room chatting with someone, poke them, say "POKE!", and then start running/gating around the world until they could catch up and poke me back.  Took them a while sometimes.
