Might want to take a peek at these two daggers and perhaps tweak one of them. The level 110 dagger harder to get and does less damage than the level 85 dagger that's simple to get.

It has been way to long since Sith Toxins have actually worked properly and I have brought it up in the game a few times when Imms were on but they are still fudged. I would really like to see these fixed properly if it is not to much to ask. :)

I'd like to see a few changes made to the river not to make it too easy but at least fix it to where a 2nd classer could run it without having to stop and risk getting pk'ed because they need to refresh. Maybe add in a room about halfway that's not pk at all. Also, I'd like to see the killer lightning bolts go away too because it sucks trying to take a shortcut and end up being cpk'ed by a bolt. Although 2nd class eq is easy to replace, when one reaches 4th some of that eq isn't as easy. Especially the eq that's a one time thing only from the quest in Reza.

I've been playing Sentience pretty much since the beginning and we've gone thru a lot of changes. One thing that I've had a hard time understanding the entire time is the leveling system. The experience required by class level and by total level is way too ranged. Its super easy to level in the beginning and super hard near the end. But this is not due to any single reason For example:

level 29-30 1M experience

level 59-60 3M experience

level 89-90 9M experience

level 119-120 18M experience

That looks to be a pretty reasonable progression for experience throughout the game and I don't really think that these totals need to be changed. The problem that players are running in to is that the amount of experience we are capable of gaining is never more than 5-6k per mob that's worth killing. There are ways to get 100k+ xp for a kill, but the mobs take literally hundreds of rounds of combat, whereas you can kill 20 5k mobs for the same xp in 40 rounds at worst. There is no reason for players to take out more valuable mobs because it takes 2, 3, or 4 times longer to kill them and you only recieve 1.5 to 2x the experience. The current system discourages group leveling, fighting high value xp mobs, it really discourages even solo leveling and therefore return gameplay. I think it is way too easy to level 1-25, and way too ridiculous to level 85+. I know it is not supposed to be easy to reach level 120, and I'm not suggesting we make it that way, but it is too tedious for average mud players to stick it out. I think levels are given away too quick early on and held out of reach near the end. 18M xp is a good number, but we need mobs that offer 40-60k xp per kill that are worth the fight. I think it would keep a lot of players from getting bored and feeling stuck. What do you guys think?
