Now, it's been quite a while since i really dug around on Stratics, so i was
just wondering if anyone recalled off hand...do dread spiders spawn any level
of treasure map?
In my time hunting them over the past couple months, i've never gotten one, but
since there's the chance they'll be adding a "level 0 map chance" to many
critters that don't spawn maps, thus making them able to spawn as paragons, i
got curious...
(If you haven't read about paragons, they're basically regular monsters with
the tag "a [insert mob name](paragon)", which will have their str, dex, int,
hp, mp, barding stats and overall difficulty given a super shot of
Steroids...they'll also spawn maps, minor artifacts-which are still in the
final design phase, but definately won't be anything currently in Doom-and the
most powerful map droppers will now have the chance to spawn with a level 6 map
as loot when they pop as paragons...*shudders*, Balrons, Ancient Wyrms, Poison
& Blood Eles and Titans for spawn, TONS of magic items...just going to be
evil...just a shame they won't be adding new map spots to Ilshenar to enhance
these new critters, would be neat to see Treasure Hunters having to explore and
find all new sites...and since they'd be in Ilshenar, no Marking, thus no rune
libraries making it easier on the lazier treasure hunters-sorry, i think it's
much more rewarding to actually travel the world in search of your treasure
spot..if you've done any decent amount of wandering, you can tell where a map
is when you first open it, anyway...)
This may well curb my Ilshenar hunting until i can somehow stumble into a
party, or find some people to hunt with on a semi-regular basis...i really like
playing in Ilshenar, but if i one day walk through a moongate as a ghost to
answer the "What got you?" question, and my post-OOoooOO answer is, "A Paragon
Slime", i'll never be able to live it down...

*anyway, mostly worried about the dreads, i love hunting them, especially since
they got the ability to lay into you with deadly poison...they're just a nasty
sort of fun now...and i while i might enjoy the challenge of a paragon, i'm not
certain if i could take one out. hehe*
