Protection from the baddies


Basic concepts

  • There are 3 alignments on aardwolf
    • Good:(Golden aura)A cuddly Poohbear is the cutest thing on the mud!
    • Neutral:A neutral creature has no color aura
    • Evil:(Red Aura)This mean monster wants to eat up Pooh
  • Protection from Good means (duh!) you take less damage from Good align creatures
  • Protection from evil and Inertial barrier reduce damage from Evil mobs and players

Intermediate level tips

  • Mobs have Prot_Good and Prot_Evil too. Most mobs above lvl 130 or so have it.
  • Therefore, many players "go neutral", to maximize damage done.
    This is especially important against players (wars, PK, and raiding)
    A small problem is that you will get less exp when neutral than if opposite in alignment.
  • Protection good and Protection evil cannot BOTH be cast at the same time.
    - But you CAN cast Inertial barrier AFTER you cast protection good.

Advanced level tips

  •  Aligment           Category
    -1000 to -350         Evil
    -349  to  349       Neutral
     350  to 1000         Good
  • Note that the calculation of experience is on a sliding scale
    Alignment of 349 and -349 does the same damage through prot_good,
    but makes a difference in the exp from a mob of 1000 align.

Practically speaking....

  • Alignment rarely matters until about level 80-100, except in wars.
  • If you don't have both Prot_good and Inertial, many clans sell it in a potion.
    (Twinlobe has a level 26 potion with spells of: 'protection good' 'inertial barrier' 'haste'.)
    (You can either join the clan and get it, or win it through public trivia. Or raid for it :P)
  • The vampiric flag (-1 align per lifedrain) on weapons is hardly significant on alignment.
  • The vampiric staff from irini sengir r rox. (Go play with it :-)
  • Certain spells (eg dispel good, holy word) work only on specific alignments.
    For the most part, they're too troublesome and they sux. :P
