Old forums will remain online and you may post (but not create new threads) until Monday, May 24th at 5:00PM EDT. After the old forums will be set to archive mode and you can no longer post.

Well, I have been working on this for quite a while now, and between real life and work it did not progress as fast as I had hoped.

As many of you are aware the forums here on Wikidot leave a lot to be … desired. Wikidot will be the first one to tell you that they are not designed, nor intended, to host forums. So, I have opened a new location where we can have a fully featured (and for most of you familiar) messaging board. Registration is quick and painless.

The moderators of the forums and I have been testing things out and tweaking issues that we find. However, we are sure there will be some things we have missed. Please let us know of any issues you encounter, and we will address them as soon as possible.

Make sure you read the rules from the start, because you will be held accountable for your actions. Ignorance is no excuse. The rules are posted at the top of every single forum.

Thanks, and enjoy.

If you are summoned as the boss, your character tendency WILL NOT shift toward Black if the Host player gets killed by regular enemies (or the Makoto Sword) before reaching the boss area. However, if you actually kill the Host, your character tendency WILL shift toward Black. You do have to be within the Host's Soul Level range, but the Host does not have to be in body form for you to be summoned as the boss (I've been on both sides of that).

If you did not intend to be summoned as the boss, you can leave using the White Eye Stone with no penalty. Just do it before the Host enters the fog.

If you're summoned as the boss, and you already have a Monk's Head Collar (or several hundred), don't equip one during the fight, because you'll be wearing one by default, and two identical items won't stack. Wear either a Silver Coronet for more Magic points, or something protective. You'll get the benefit of two different head items.

Bring various weapons and armor to the fight, and listen to the Host battle the enemies on his way up the stairs. Pay attention to whether the Host kills the Bugs and Octopus Guards with melee or spells, and adjust your equipment, accordingly. If he uses Soul Light/Ray, have your Dark Silver Shield ready. If he uses fire-based spells, equip your flame defenses.

Stand away from the doorway, in order to avoid cloud spells or Rage Of God cast through the fog by the Host; and don't activate any noisy defensive spells that give away your position, until after the Host has entered the fog.

If you mean you have to have a low - blackish character tendency to get the collar, then no, you don't. Just be online, in soul form, place a blue or black stone and you have a chance of getting called. I got called by accident, because I thought it was just the black stone and wanted to be a Blue Phantom to help someone at the Fool's Idol boss. Surprise, I got summoned to be Old Monk.

A very nice heavy armor named Noble Armor. With a cape, obviously.

Also you will find "heavy" armours, such as gloom, brushwood, dark silver, etc, etc, all have a stam penalty to them. Meaning your stamina refills slower than with armours like black leather and other light armours. This isn't that much of a differance in PvE, but, in PvP, getting that full guage of stamina faster than your opponent means a whole lot.
