I mean EverQuest is 20 years old and we still discover new thing about the game and it is what make it awesome.

I want to talk about DEX.

From WIKI

Affects: Concentration (resistance to spell interrupts), Bard Song missed notes; Melee skill-ups, Procs, Crits (allegedly).
Max (cap): 255 (?)
Brad McQuaid: "DEX: how quickly you learn weapon skills; how often weapon will proc; how quickly you learn rogue skills; how hard you hit with bows"[4]
"This determines how hard you hit with your bows, how quickly you learn weapon and rogue skills, and how often a magic weapon will process it's skill. This is a good skill to have for fighters, especially rangers and rogues, and of only limited use for magic users.



I did LOT of testing , BASED on my research DEX affect your chance to hit the target and not miss it.

It dosent take rocket science to test.

Start a lvl 1 with 80 DEX and fight a HIGH AGI mob ( a bat) bat has high agi its perfect mob to test.

I did my testing on 10 bat in front of kaladim.

10 bat with 80 DEX at level 1 (tons of miss)

10 bat with 200 dex at level 1 ( about no miss)

ONLY dex has been increase with shaman buff and boon of the garou (work on lvl 1) from enc so AL STATS were the same.

I wanted to share , even if people will say the contrary to what im saying ,

go test it on a lvl 1 all i can say.


End of story :

Dex affect your chance to hit the target.

Ummm boon increases ATK which explains the more frequent hits... Try again...

do you even have a combat log of them? did you test this on just one mob? this doesn't seem very scientific at all.

just so you know, dex DOES increase your chance to hit as the calc is dex VS AC

also it increases your chance to channel when being hit.

try it by putting on dex gear and not using boon, it will still be obvious.

It is with great disappointment I have learnt the most revered guild, Value of Dex, has been disbanded :(.

There goes my hopes for some hot pants.

You're absolutely right. That just isn't rocket science. That's not even science at all!!

I heard they left blue for red. There they learned the true value of Dex by rogue griefers hanging out in Crushbone. Only then did they leave the project for Agnarr.

Pretty sure this is only true in PVP (Jeff plays red.)

Ignoring everything else... learning new things about Everquest isn't really accurate anyways. More like learning new things about P99.

Hi OP, I just had a thought, did you ensure the level 1 character's melee skills were maxed before running this experiment?

If not, I suggest the adjustment in accuracy rate is due to your character going from 0 melee skill, possibly to max.

Tons of miss versus about no miss. Very precise report. Thank you.

No need to get mad when Dr. Jeff drops knowledge on you... You should be thankful, not hateful.
