monsters & demis

[paradive]

so, you know how you get rewarded with a skill for praying to demis (+ 1 strength from malekus, etc.)?

and you occasionally get rewarded for hits on monsters ("2 demi points for malkeus!")?

now, i only pray to azeron for stam, but when the points you receive from hits on monsters equal a hundred, shouldn't you still get that additional skill point?

cuz yes, it will take a damn long time to equal a hundred at that rate, but i've never seen an increased skill still.
seems i should've by now.

No you don't get a SP for every 100 demis and for good reason. That would would encourage massive tagging like this game has never seen before.

+ even worse, the bigger a player gets, the more opportunity they have to score even more demi points.

Example of how to badly exploit this would be 1-stam hitting Sylv to death.

So mass tagging and mass clicking increasing server load (and therefore toilet bowls of doom)

It's a win-win:D

ive got 6800 aurora demis after only playing a year and 15 prayers. just because it takes you a long time to amass a lot of demipoints doesnt mean it takes others a long time. also, as others mentioned, it would negatively affect the player population to have people hitting monters expressedly for demi-point farming. factor in these people being vampires, and you might see your alpha meph hit the crapper with no green bar. hopefully no one would dare to think to use alpha monsters for demi-point farming in the first place :p

You do see it to some degree already I think. After all chasing demi points is the only logical explanation I can think of for someone using the 10 energy heal button 10 times in a row instead of using the 100 energy heal button once.

I do it because.

1. I'd rather get avg exp returns, than lower than average returns for my hits/heals(yes i know there is a chance to get above average returns too, but i don't believe the risk is worth it)
2. I don't want to waste energy. What if the bar can be healed with 80 energy, but i used 100, that's 20 wasted energy, I'd rather not waste any.

Why would I want to waste 100 energy on a heal instead of spending 10 energy to fully heal my damage? Even 20 energy is a waste. The only scenario I can think of where I'd use the 100 energy heal button is if I'm close to a level up with more energy than I need and want to level up with a 300 pt maalvus heal so I don't waste energy.

100 energy button comes in handy when its a fresh monster and your trying to str the party bar up.... or if your unlucky enough to be on a mob with blood sucking vamps on it :P
