Nightfire Phoenix I feel this updated version of the idea is much better and well thought out. You don't specify the amount of mp saved with the 5% chance to save mp while casting however

aquadark: The mp saved is not specified, cause from my own oppinion the chance occures when you cast a spell, same percentage applies to all spells, so you can be as much lucky to save the spell mp used while casting for meditate or same for chopper or w/e whenever you are lucky

Bahamut – Since I'm a woodcutting specialist here, I'm just looking at woodcutting bonuses. Since Nalurn Woods has no fruit and just gets random monsters as a “reward”, can the +5 be applied to either defense or attack? I'm trying to think of something fair since most woodcutting specialists will move to the woods to take advantage of less crowding and higher exp per chop.

aquadark: Since i havent went through all skill work places Nalurn woods somewhat slipped from my thoughs. Should think about something for that location. Or it can be also avoided by adding another location for specialists, Bahamut, as it says “Additional working areas for all skill related actions”.
Also as I have just checked woodcutting manual, there`re drops of hardwood in Nalurn woods as of level 40. So those +5 Fruit drop should be applied there too :)

Jove S – I like the ideas and as a suggestion maybe you can take top 5 or top 10 people in a skill and set the required lvl at that point so its reasonably high but not too high for each skill

aquadark: Yes, Joves, i`m trying to figure our which levels for each skill should be the right levels to choose a profesion, probably highest here would be Combat with it's increadible gain and lowest should be magic :)

fiodor: +5 time for opposite skill related actions
-5 time for skill related actions
i like the idea but how this will work with combat?

aquadark: Yes, i`m aware of combat fiodor, trying to find out something which might benefit combat too, but not related with minus time.


Gwachitallemalla: * 5 levels lower requirements for all skill related items
That as well, how would that work with the new spells coming in for magic?

aquadark: It states Only Items not something else [aka places where you can work].

Drudon: I like it a lot! Seems a bit complicated though. Would be hard to code, I think.

Taksas 027?: maybe construction should get more % to get amber.

(Ko Ri T?) +5 magic fish finding is far too much)aqua the fisher man, i hate this idea

aquadark: Ko Ri T?, if this works like gem finding, which i`m almost sure does, it's not too much, as i`m using scale bracelet now and havent noticed any increase of magic fish drops [considering that +5 means +5% better chance to get it]

Pleknor – I like it aqua...seems like a very well thought out idea. Great Work :)

Concentration spell? Not taking in mind the crowding effect??
