Great value items vs Overvalued items

[Castle2.0]

Pretty sure potions use the user's level, not the maker's.

Correct.

Right, but my point is that if you're a lowbie SoW still lasts like 20+ minutes doesn't it? Isn't it like level 29 or 30 where it becomes 36 minutes from there? So if you're a lowbie SoW isn't lasting 1 minute.

I think Spyglass (or maybe Star Of Eyes, never had one) deserves a mention as a great value item.

If someone cast the buff on you the effect is determined by their level not yours.

I did not know SoW's duration scaled by level, but according to the wiki it goes from 27 min at 9 to 36 min at 12. If that keeps scaling down below level 9 it would match with a 1 minute duration at level 1, with 3 more minutes per level up to 12.

I wonder if there are any potions or procs that would scale to a negative duration at a low enough level, and how the server would handle that.

[port9001]

The wiki doesn't address this because normally the first level for SoW is level 9. Technically, via the potion, that's not true.

So should it say 1 min @L1 to 36 minutes at L12? Does it get any longer or is 12 the cap on duration? The speed is also level based - does that also scale down?

I could have sworn that in classic the SoW potion duration ad speed was based on the shaman's level who made.

It doesn't seem like an intuitive thing for them to keep a database on, but as far as custom content goes it would be fun if that were the case.

Default to level 50 shaman duration / quality when leveling shamans are within X points of their cap and therefore leveling as they go rather than power leveling the skill up at later levels. Would give preference to leveling shamans SoW Pots and incentivize plat spending on potions to earn more plat as you level rather than just saving for torpor.

I have a 50 shaman on green with max alchemy and as of right now because I just tested it, a level 1 alt using that potion lasted maybe 2 or 3 minutes. I didn't time it exactly but it's clearly truncated. It also felt significantly slow compared to a sow cast by another lvl 50 player. It definitely scales with the level of the potion clicker, but which levels I'm not sure. I have a 24 shadowknight and the same sow pots seem to last the normal amount of time and move as fast as you'd expect.

Edit: It is 1 minute.

diamondine earrings, hooded black cloak, 50+ gems like black sapphire/jacinth etc, 44 and level 49 mage/necro words for spells, there are several mobs that a ton of classes can solo that regularly drop the 44/49 words and some of them are priced at 3-4k like words of incarceration

my current farm is jacinth/diamond/blue diamond/black sapphire mob that my mage can solo, made about 16k after 10 hours and have 3 bags worth of 300pp+ per words to sell still

Can I ask where this might be?

Ithink he'stalking about the OoT lizard. But I doubt the numbers/tiimes he is given frankly. As far as research stuff. ya good luck selling it ive had a words of incar on my ec mule for close to month and no one buying it. People don't tend to fator n the black hole of the EC time sink for gauging their farming potential or their loot acquisitions.
