Ragnarok-X is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Use for R\'lyeh void summons ?

huh, the usual starspawn has a chance of 5% to get feebleminded ? You must be wrong, thats TOTALLY out of way. That would mean each starspawn could get 20 summon tries in average, thats DEFINITLY not how it is right now.

Even the Stargazer himself has a bigger chance, im almost 100% sure.


Edit: Major typo

I believe it's 5% for the Priest Starspawn (may be 10%) and 2% for the Stargazer.

uh Zen has spoken. I have to admit Zen is well known and really into the game, he is right most times.

Anyway, i tried 2 games with luck 3 to the Stargazer and both time he got feebleminded after 4 Summon tries (3 were succesfull), so he even got the summoning 3 skill .


5 % ?

It's 5% per turn spent summoning I believe, not 5% per summoning event.

Don't let it get you down, I'm having the same bad luck. I tried this race for the first time and my void summoners got feebleminded 5 times in the first 7 attempts. They usually summoned a couple of things so it wasn't a total loss, but my first attempts left a lot to be desired. I ended up looking at the void summons as a bonus. I built my empire around the regularly available units and if I managed to get anything useful from the summons, I counted myself blessed.
