NPC SPELLS
- Vampires in unrest and mistmoore now cast the level 39 Necromancer spell "Drain Spirit" when
hitting their enemies instead of the vampire path spell which granted them combat training.
- Undead Cyclops is a new NPC in south Karana and he has some high level necro spells.
This NPC is for the new paladin drunkard quest.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
ARMOR CLASS AND NPC ACCURACY RATING UPDATE
Due to players becoming invincible with 10k+ AC against high end bosses there has been a 25 per
level boost to all NPC's accuracy and this also includes pets. Boosts to accuracy work like this:
If the NPC fighting you has a 25% chance to hit you normally and they are level 25 they now get 25
accuracy RATING per level giving them a rating of 625.
This rating is than multiplied by the chance the enemy hits you of 25% and than divided by 1000.
25 x 625 = 15625 /1000 = 15.6% The new chance for the enemy to land a blow is now 25% + 15.6% = 40.6%
This formula is to give NPCs a boost to their accuracy against players who have reached 90-95% evasion levels
and make it where nobody on the server is invincible as AC climbs but high AC is always good regardless.
