Miscellaneous: Ragebringer

[Ele]

Issue: Rogue Epic, Ragebringer, is currently flagged as range slot usable.

Proposed Fix: Remove range slot capability.

Patch note (2 weeks after epics released):

------------------------------
October 3, 2000 4:00 pm
------------------------------

*Today's Patch*

Today's patch consisted mostly of server-side changes, additions, and
fixes regarding NPCs and quests. The only item of public note is that
the Ragebringer can no longer be equipped in the ranged slot. A data
entry error caused it to be initially allowed it to be equipped in that
slot.

Note: This weapon can fit in either the primary or second hand. It no longer can be equipped in the Range Slot. The effect of Seething Fury adds 40% Haste, +40 Attack and +9 Armor Class.

super easy fix and long past due

As stated in the retroactively nerfed items thread, I need a rough time estimate/standout occurance to apply these changes. In this case, something that happened post epics, but pre-velious. We'll have to make something special if it doesn't exist.

If you need to tie it in with other fixes:

The Taunt > lvl 50 mobs came between these two times (Nov. 15, 2000) patch.

------------------------------
November 15, 2000 3:00 am
-------------------------------- Taunt: Increased effectiveness above level 50. Previously, creatures
above level 50 could not be taunted by means of the taunt skill. Now,
most creatures below the character's level can now be successfully
taunted. As a note, the chance to taunt a creature above 50th level is
smaller than that of a creature below 50th.

The Taunt fix was enabled on P99 blue in the following patch: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=58009

You can also include the Blue Crystal Staff/Gnarled Staff 2HB -> 1HB upgrade with this grouping as well. http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=77442

Still pretty laughable how you can do these quests at lvl 1 here (@pixel trolls not devs!). The pixel trolls remain strong.

You know it ain't classic.

The wizard epic NPC wouldn't even look at you unless you stabbed him until at least lvl 45 (planar 46, I know).

No laughing desired. Post some non-speculative information brodog.

Since you've kindly referred to me by my nickname of choice, I shall provide some information in another thread.

You've been quite active lately... hmm!

Kanras made something special.

Fixed, pending update.
