Orbs vs Gems...

**Dall** · 10-10-08

Is there any real difference between the two?

I spent last night mooching around killnig ET with a load of Gems dropped, they all had no effect or destroyed the items so not the best of nights although I did use them on the spare items I had from drops lol...

Does an orb have more chance of working or are they just for different purposes ?

a gem has the chance of breaking your kit, an orb either adds the stat or doesnt (orbs dont break your kit)

gem/orb (U) regular or (L) relates to how much chance they have of working

lol ^^ gems can be quiet an addiction

i generally use the gems i find on the items i find whilst hunting ^.^ GoldBracelets are great for gems as they have great base stats and are quite cheap from the shop

( i think i was using a gems goldbracelet right up until lvl 45 :P )

keep hold of any Lucky Gems you get as there is a Gem upgrader in ST maze which for 500k and 3 lucky gems will give you a unlucky orb

Stupid q but what is an unlucky orb, doesn't sound that good lol...

500k, could be a while yet lol.

What sort of pets would be able to solo in ST 7th, am living on et's atm but web always used to drop better but was more of a group requirement lol

well you get
Orb(U) which has about a 20% chance of successfully adding a stat
Orb which has a 40% chance of successfully adding a stat
Orb(L) which has a 60% chance of successfully adding a stat

as you add more stats to your item the success rate of them goes down so one your have 2 stats added to your items the chances of a (U) work is quite slim - i think it was something like 30 (U)s were needed to get the stat to +3.

so you need to gradually work your way up the orb ladder

once you have 5 added stats (of the same type!) i have to say that if you have +5 dc then you should use (L) bravery orbs to add extra dc, but a (U) magic orb will still have its original 20% chance of working.

as to the pets, Foxes should be able to handle ST 7th without any problems.
bluehorospiders wont have any worries in there either. ^^ but to be honest the best pet to have in ST is a higher level wizard

mass kills ftw :P

(i like using the wizard foxes on 7th because you can trap them behind on of the walls, rest them and then do a lure and hide behind the wall with them whilst they kill everything

- you can just let them run loose in there but i like the control aspect lol :P)

hope it helps :P
