Maybe a VERY low int requirement? Like 7 max for the best. 'Cuz it takes some know-how to use a magnetic shield.


EDIT: Disappointed by the lack of bacon in this poll Evil

and here I am plugging away at Res to equip that damn thing.

equivalent would be an understatement. But, its always good to have a decent armor on to maximize the resistance rate. However, in the beginning, training resistance is so hard. With the shield so powerful, I don't think its worth it now.

Anyway, i've always agreed with level requirement on items, so i agree with your idea

Yeah, you are right. Change the resistance to 1. But, u know what I meant to say when I said 0. lol

Start with 10kg capacity.
+.5 kg for each endurance level
+1 kg for each strength Borg level
+1.5 kg for each strength level

8kg - AA303
18kg - 301 belt
1.2kg - for a longblade

That's 27.2 or 28.

18 * 1.5kg = 27 + 10kg you start with.
You have 38 kg capacity already.

Not necessary level requirement. But, stats requirement is good enough. Intelligent is a good stats to base on. It is under use.

Bacon, I had a feeling that this selection will be dominating the other two option. No Bacon this time. Razz

Perhaps adding stat reqs for it and future belts will be needed now.

Thank You!

I can not imagine level 8 player getting those 400 series belt fighting against each other. It will be.. JailJail

Then again, I could find it to be quite humorous. lol

as a newer player i disagree with the requirements, we need to be able to compete somehow if we work hard or donate hard we should be able to have access to them, new players will start dropping of from playing because all we are is fodder for those of you that have played longer, we need some sort of helpful item to stand a chance!!!!!!

Thus why I said a low int requirement. Higher-ups who've gone to school will have no problem pulling out 7 int. Donators, likewise, will be able to get their int up.

1.) That makes no sense. Sorry.
2.) I see 'agreement'. I never disagreed lol.
3.) Have you ever used a belt, out of idle curiosity?

Personally I dont think there should be any requirements on the shields. If the people who are that low of level can afford one, have the strength to equip it without being encumbered, then by rights they should be able to use it. It is a belt after all, not a weapon or a full armor vest.
