Rogue tali decay

Can you allow the relics to continue counting past 700 to a max of 700+ the number of points that decay? That way a well-used rogue will not experience a temporary drop in effectiveness.

Great idea imo. Currently I've been working a lot and so do others that don' have 24/7 to play, every tme I li on, my rogue relics are either at zero or close to it and with little time for some of us to play. We unfortunately don' have time to relevel the relics each time We play. Maybe give the relics a 3k cap. That would help a lot

Why not have it so that if you logged in at any point during the day (some 24 hour period), the system will reduce your kill count when the background process gets around to it. If you did not log in for the 24 hour period, it doesn't reduce it.

I have a rogue talisman character (level 8 now) and although I'd benefit from this change, I'm against it because it would make the tradeoff too small for the rogue advantage of not having to level your relics at all. When you pick the rogue talisman, you're committing to the playstyle of "25 ettins a day keeps the decay at bay". It's a foolish choice to pick rogue if you play in bursts. You don't need 24/7, but you do need a level of commitment to play a little bit just about every day. I've had to level it back from 0 a few times, I just consider that the cost of doing business.

Yet having it drop a level, because you logged off seems rather silly.. I could get behind it if, you could push past the highest level, by skilled an extra 75 ettins - maybe even have make it so once you are at max level, you can push it 50 xp past, but you gain at 1/3rd the regular rate, so you have to kill 150 ettins, to que 2 days worth of not dropping. .

Admittedly I don't know how the rogue talisman works, I'm debating getting one, but the fact that I'm forced to play daily to keep it maxed, when there are so many different ways to play in UO, is really turning me off.. I wouldn't want to see anymore than a couple of days que though, because like you said, that's the trade off for not having to work Xp on the relics.

It drops a level every day, by going from 700 (level 10) down to 675 (level 9). It does this even if you've been killing hundreds of monsters that day prior to the drop. That's a bit annoying - I do wish I could accumulate up to 725 so when it drops I can still stay at level 10 for a day.

That seems reasonable to me, 725, 750... So you aren't forced to use it every day, but if you ignore it for too long, you suffer the consequences... Anyways, if I build up some coin I might give it a try regardless, just seems pricy to be "giving it a try"

Just sux I had it maxed. Work during the week with little or no time to play except weekends, I log on and guild is getting ready to champ or do rda but my rogue relics are at zero. Takes a few hours just to bring them back up but by then I'm ready to li out. So now I haven't used my rogue in 3 months because if this. Waste of 17m for me

you can do a champ/rda with that char even if its not max out relics.

thats pretty much what @eppy (who dont read forums anymore btw) wanted to do with the rogue tali relics.

I agree. If I knew my relic levels would go back to level 1 after not playing for a while, I would not have spent gold on a rogue. It should be made known to all that buy the talisman that you have to play everyday for it not to decay.

doesnt that tali give pvp/thief potential? it makes sense so that the template doesn't get changed often and easily, rollovers or w.e would provide that.
