A Request For Raising Loyalty

Heatmiser · Post by **Heatmiser** » Thu Jul 17, 2003 6:14 pm

Theres been a lot of discussion on the boards recently about how raising your loyalty helps you pass more xp up to your patron and thus makes the overall chain more productive.

We've asked everyone to raise loyalty. Its the least you can do to pay back the chain that made you the level you are. Some people seem to have either not read or decided not to put anything into loyalty for whatever reason. (and Im not saying you don't have good ones.)

I'd like to make a final appeal to everyone to put a few points into your loyalty and Im going to go so far as to ask a few people directly.

The following list of people have base loyalty under 200.

Ulisse: 196

Kajun Strike: 178

Mike the Madman: 198

Smiley II: 197

Luang: 197

Podunkmer: 185

Camonite: 174

Borg: 195

Jyd: 193

The-Guardian: 186

Tusami: 186

Nauscicaa: 190

Arfindle: 153 (Lowest score in the chain)

I'd like to see all you guys get your loyalty up to at least 200 base as soon as you can, without it being too much of burden. This of course is not a requirement, just something I and your chain mates would like you to do. For some of you, like Kajun Strike this would make your life easier in the long run since your are a chronic quota failure and could use the extra passup. (FYI, you're failing quota right now, as usual. Hint Hint)

Waiting for my timer to expire to spec loyalty.

Oh, and btw, could it be that all people on above list are melees ?

Remember, the higher your loyalty is, the easier your quota is.

and for those in the OH, the easier it is for you to get promoted

Podunkmer will be specializing at level 105 (very soon). We might be able to spec it on Camonite for a while, too.

But yes, they are both melees, with 30 and 10 starting Self, respectively.

Your base Loyalty skill is now 200!

Much appreciated Naus.

Yes, I suspect most of the players on the list are melees, but with all the xp we get from the chain, I don't think 200 loyalty is too much to ask.

Most of you guys on the borderline prolly have enough spare xp to pass 200 right now if you wanted to.

With a start of 10 Self, it takes about 40M into Self and 150M into loyalty to hit 200 base. So if you wouldn't mind passing an extra 66M to Podunkmer and 119M to Camonite, I'll be glad to raise them both to 200 base.

(At the rate the chain goes, that will take about 4 weeks for Podunkmer and 3 weeks for Camonite!)

190million isn't all that much for most of the chain.

Especially those of you that have been in the chain for awhile. There are some guys who have been in this chain for months and have yet to break 200 base loyalty. Thats kind of selfish if you ask me. Personally, I make it a point to raise my loyalty a point or two every week. Its not much, but it adds up.

well if they are that low, they should logout with their buadren in hand.

Hehe, I always try to log Borg out with his baudren in hand. I will raise Borg's loyalty the next time I hunt him, either tonight or tomorrow. Like a lot of the lower level people, I've been working on raising skills to stay alive before I've been working on raising loyalty. It's time to raise his loyalty some more. Thanks for the reminder Heatmiser.

FYI

Nauscicaa, Melee, start 100 10 100 40 70 10
Loyalty base 200: XP spent 52,004,816

Ydnar, Mage, start 30 30 80 40 50 100
Loyalty base 200: XP spent 16,790,764

Just an example numbers vary per character but you get the point.

Not all those peeps are Melee, some are wizards. As for Melee's, I'm Melee. PURE BLOOD. (I repeat.........GIMPY MELEE!) and mine is like 250 base. And yes, I've paid outta my U&*CSE to get it there. But It would be a nice gesture to have it raised to 200 base.

Oh, and might I add, mine was 200 base for a long time before I actually spent any real exp's into it. 150 million is about 3 days off from AC's worth of "FREE" vassal exp's. 3 days or less. (just a guess at what some peeps are making)
