You should update the VIRI QUEST here

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:26:30 +0000

I noticed that your VIRI QUEST information here is still really incomplete. This has been posted at the MySpace Forums since April. Here is the COMPLETE list of VIRI REQUIREMENTS so that you can update it….

"http://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewThread&entryID=73472803&groupID=107756300&adTopicID=1&Mytoken=C2B57984-304B-4753-A08722AF7AA488E417226160"

The items dropped by each chest are still being compiled but I'll get you the list of what we KNOW for certain (it's a lot more than you have listed here).

chandabrook bridge refresh my memory

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 03:44:34 +0000

Did not take good notes at the beginning and having trouble remembering what Quest opens up the "North to Chandabrook Bridge" trip at Chandabrook?

I checked the Wiki here and it doesn't tell me…

Sigh

Sorry your Drop Rate Formulas are Whack

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:10:39 +0000

This has been constantly bugging me. Every time the Wiki discusses monsters or quests that drop MULTIPLE items they use these WHACK formulas to determine the OVERALL drop rate. It's nice fancy looking math and makes it look official but look, it is NOT rocket science (the drop rates on multiple items).

Here's an example from Coyote:
11 Sapphire Ring after about 220 kills (5%)
On FB the drop rate is 43%. What is the value on MySpace?
In case anyone is wondering why the values above (40% and 5%) doesn't add up to 43%, it's because 43% is the value that something will drop at all. It incorporates a Straw only drop (95%*40%=38%), a Sapphire Ring only drop (60%*5%=3%) but also a Straw+Sapphire Ring drop (40%*5%=2%). Hence the value that nothing will drop at all is 60%*95%=57%, thus 43% is the chance that anything will drop at all.

Ridiculous. If I fight the Coyote 100 times and I get a 40 percent drop rate on straw that's 40 straws! If I get a 5 percent drop rate on Rings that's 5 Rings!

The TOTAL amount of items that dropped in that 100 battles is 45! That's 45 percent DROP RATE babe! No IFS, ANDS OR BUTS!

Incidentally, I've fought the Coyote ONE THOUSAND times! I was able to sustain a 44 percent drop rate on straw and a 5 percent drop rate on rings!

The game says 43 percent drop rate on STRAW and guess what, 44 percent is as close as it gets!

Where you get the 40 percent drop rate on straw is probably because you don't know how to fight the monsters (it matters in case you don't know)

From the creators of Hammerfall (New Game) - Escape from Elthirai

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:03:32 +0000

Any one interested in starting the wiki for Escape from Elthirai
same genre as Hammerfall, way better than "Office Politics"

http://apps.facebook.com/escapefromelthirai

don't mind updating new pages for EfE, just don't know how to set up the general template similar to Hammerfall.

Add Job ID?

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:37:40 +0000

In the game, each action has a unique ID number. Can we add these ID numbers to the wiki? These are useful for anyone making scripts to interface with the game.

For example:

538 is Goblin @ Throncrest (on quests screen, to begin battle)
523 is Vikram @ Chandabrook Bridge (on quests screen, to begin battle)
1494 is Vikram @ Kalamar (on quests screen, to begin battle)
776 is Dragon Flesh (to use during any battle)
1321 is Dragon Tear (to use during any battle)
373 is Power Up spell (to use during any battle)
722 is Head West @ Lindellin Forest 3 (to go to LF4 from LF3)
1035 is Fish (Sinking Lure) @ Across Grandeur Lake (to fish)
1036 is Fish (Spinning Lure) @ Across Grandeur Lake (to fish)

Mithiril Armor was misspelled, how do I update the URL?

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 22:57:18 +0000

I fixed the spelling for Mithiril Armor (according to the Inventory list in-game), but the URL does not update. My Hammerfall RPG Helper script relies on the URL matching the name of the item for linking and takes the user to the "not existing" page. How does on update the URL too?

making money

Sun, 17 May 2009 17:34:35 +0000

I see people in the "legends" list with 20,000,000 or more in gold. Is there something I have missed in terms of adding to my gold? I think I have found all the bosses. My attack level is over 13,000. How or where do I get more gold?!?

Change needed: Location - Road Split

Sat, 16 May 2009 21:01:09 +0000

No Sgt Renald (does he appear later, if so please show this)
'Into the Desert' requires Demoneater, not Forest Dragon as stated on page.

Hi. Many thanks for this great Wiki. It's very helpful and informative.
I thought I'd mention the above. It's the only thing that I've noticed. I was confused about Chocolate but have just read the bit about Valentine's Weekend, which explains it all!

I'm currently not sure what I need to do but guess that I have to go back and keep defeating the dragon (just past Tempest Druids) to get the Demoneater, despite what the page above says.
Or perhaps I need the Demoneater the first time and Forest Dragon at a later stage. The wiki is great but it's no walkthrough. Just as well probably.

Many thanks for your excellent work

Add me place?

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:41:32 +0000

I had a thought to put up some "addme" pages, one for each service. The idea being that you can remove your name/link when you're no longer interested in growing your party.

I'm only on Facebook and can only offer tips for managing all these new "friends" for that service but maybe someone else could do the same for MySpace and Mebo?

Only if it makes any sense to create such pages, that is.

What happens if you die?

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 23:02:30 +0000

Hmm, sounds like a really stupid question, but I haven't found the answer to this question anywhere and I don't want to die just to find it out.

New location to find logs

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:51:04 +0000

The updated interactive map has this info, but this site doesn't yet. The young boar drops logs, 50%. How can I or someone else add this to the drop list here?

Path from Falhill juction to Oakwood open

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:33:16 +0000

There is no listing for the reccently opened. It contains a yellow fairy charm and treasure chest. Would like to know if anyone has found other recent additions hidden away. I assume there are some . This opened very recently (around the same day as Ironthal).

Add item requirements to NEW Viri Quest

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 16:52:44 +0000

We at the official hammerfall forums at MySpace have verified numerous items required by the new trainer exercise (located in the new hidden path between Avgard and Lindellin).

These are…

Log (100x)
Sapling (100x)
Straw (100x)
Seed (100x)
Web (100x)
Poison Apple (100x)
Vine (100x)
Moon Flower (100x)
Fernwood (100x)
Elemental Leaves (100x)

(note: unknown at this time if more items are required)

Add an item to Ironthal Market

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 03:25:58 +0000

I noticed that log is not an item on the list of drops at the Browse the Market at Ironthal. I got a log my very first try.

(It's my hunch that every single item x100 required by Viri in the new Hidden Path will be dropped at Ironthal Market but I haven't confirmed it).

Ironthal Game Update Needed

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:17:45 +0000

There are new weapons such as "Equinox" Attack 90, Defense 35 to be collected in the Ironthal areas Would someone be starting to update the Wiki sections?

Two Changes DESPERATELY NEEDED

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:15:15 +0000

1. Under Oakwood Forest Dungeon 4 in the comments section it should state that "Explore The Swamp" does not appear until you've completed the Tempest Druid in Oakwood Forest Dungeon 2

2. Under Apocalypse Dragon- Fire Shield should be added as one of the items dropped.

Damage Formula

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 06:38:13 +0000

In case you are interested in correcting the damage formula (and buff multiplier, which is actually 2.5, not 1.5), please see the site: http://sites.google.com/site/ryanbettens/ for a detailed analysis.

Fire Dragon

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 04:39:17 +0000

The page for the Fire Dragon states that it has 120 health, where it actually has 1200. Please fix this.

How do I delete entries

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:35:11 +0000

I'd like to request deleting the monster entry "Vikram the Necromancer 0" as it is obsolete. Everything important about it has been integrated into the monster entry "Vikram, the Necromancer".

update Pack Wolf

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:00:16 +0000

i just got a Bronze Shield from a Pack Wolf.
please update the Pack Wolf.
i think there's 5 or 10 % chance of getting it.

Mythic Axe

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:03:31 +0000

The Mythic Axe is in the the items but doesnt show up in the weapons page, just thought maybe it should

Items Sold

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 03:24:51 +0000

Why are most of the items listed here missing the "cost" and or "sold for" information? This information is easily obtainable in the game and just so you know EVERY item can be sold so they should ALL have a price listed.

Pound Fish not found at Thistledown

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 03:22:56 +0000

Currently when you click on "11 pound Fish" (at the Thistledown location) it states that the fish is found and used at Thistledown. This is incorrect. The fish is found at Thistledown Beach

Peak Dragon Wiki Info Missing

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:44:30 +0000

I got more drops after killed the Peak Dragon in Ward Dungeon 6 than what information on wiki mentions. See Screenshot.

http://i44.tinypic.com/16lighu.jpg

Also when I attacked Crested Dragon, I got a "Hope" weapon.

http://i41.tinypic.com/24v7b6u.jpg

Attacking Apocalypse Dragon isn't a fun thing, but at least I defeated it after used 100+ Dragon Fleshes and 100+ Dumplins, I got a Fire Cloak drop. Gadget Advisor got the Dragonsceptre after many tries here, but the chance I know is more rare - like Mana. The drop rate written on the page just tell you the chance that you will get a weapon or/and armor (multiple drops). It is definitely much more powerful than Kraken and I don't know why. Economically, I will choose to attack Kraken since the drop rate for Eclipse is 100% there.

Don't try to challenge until your health is 1,100+ and energy is 500+. Mine is 975, 480 respectively and it's way too costly.

http://i44.tinypic.com/sg3k44.jpg

Here's my assume, but I'm not sure, the three ward dungeon 6 dragons that are immune to oblivion will rarely drop "Harmony, Haste, Hatred, Havok, Hope and Cloaks" by chance. I know someone who has gotten Haste after defeating the Peak Dragon.

Someone please check the drop rates for the 3 dragons. It might be different on Facebook and on Myspace.

Dive to the Sunken Ship

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:21:25 +0000

Tempest Blade

Dragonsceptre

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 14:05:09 +0000

Dragonsceptre Def: +15 Atk: +70 found in Gadget Advisor's inventory. He's on level 296 and is rank number 1 on the list.

This item will be received by chance after defeating the Apocalyse Dragon on Ward Dungeon 6.

Will someone please update that to the Wiki.

Wiki--errors on the pages here

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 23:49:25 +0000

I just got 4 dragon fleshes from the Isabelle drop at Oakwood. The wiki page says you get 1-3 (possibly more). How do we update that?

My wish for Next Game Update

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 12:33:54 +0000

I realize there is a path going north from Lindellin, there's currently no way to unlock that, I think the Hammerfall creator may be working on that.

I have a few wishes that the game developer can adds in.

Strong monster spells such as "Darkness, Magma Burst, Annihilation" should be available to the Guilds but on the "earn one and use one mode" like Lava Crossed, Path Lit or Door Opened in Falhill Dungeon. In this case, guilds cann't over-use them since each earning quest will have 40% chance success only and take long time to build up, but would be useful during certain crucial boss fights.

I know Yellow Fairy Charm - health 5x is there but not available to acquire - the game needs more stat items for players to earn, don't know what the name should be for stamina 5x or energy 5x. Players seem to stop leveling or much slower due to inactiveness when they reach closer to level 300 and total game players seem to drop from time to time.

More heal items - Dragon flesh only raise back 500+ health and black elixir only raise back 250+ energy, when I reached level 205, I have 810 max health, 468 max stamina and 330 max energy. When the benefits are higher, the items should be really expensive and hard to get but at least possible for players to acquire them, so they can use them during crucial boss fights.

Stronger Defense Up and Power Up spells like at 200%, so they can be used for fighting monsters such as Apocalypse Dragon, again they can be programmed on the "earn one and use one mode".

Any thoughts?

How to get to...

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 00:49:43 +0000

As an example, I'm not sure what opens up the way to Sulindal. It would be nice if there was a back reference on one of the Sulindal sailing pages on what opens up the way.

Just a thought.

Resale Value

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:43:07 +0000

Could be useful to add a Resale Value area for Items

Alphabetical "Jump To" Listing

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:38:43 +0000

I'm not very tech savvy, so I've no idea if this can even be done but I think having an alphabetical jump to link at the top of the page could be more efficient than having to go page by page in search of a desired result.

How do I edit?

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:24:23 +0000

Orc First Mate and Orc Lieutenant both just dropped a Blue Octave for me.

Update to Location Layout

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:20:42 +0000

I'm thinking about defining a table structure for the location layout such that images will show up on the left, particularly quest images, while text will show up on the right. I'm not quite sure how it would be managed since I wouldn't want to add any additional variables - particularly when the number of quests for a location varies so much.

I'm thinking I'll define a table for the quest area and rely on editors to maintain that in the variable section (the part between the ==== lines) so you'd put some tag after a quest image, before a quest description, and after the quest description. Until every location page is updated that way some pages could end up looking quite funky.

So I'm thinking we'll add a "done" tag to the locations we've updated and I'll throw up a quick page that lists all locations without the "done" tag.

Thoughts? Complains? Agreement?
