    The fight is not in local of the coast, but it's a 2 minute walk to the alt pen.

     

    Signup: In order to be eligible for loot you must be signed up in this thread at least one hour before the fight. You must post your character name if it's different than your forum name.

    Fight Rules: In order to allow as many people as possible to get credit for the kill the following rules apply:

     

    • Fighters must back out after landing a hit. (It is recommended you use your mouse scroll wheel to watch your combat log for hits)
    • Bystanders must back out after a swing, even if you don't hit. Swinging at the target is enough to get on the kill list and get the title.
    • Alts are not allowed to swing at the troll king.

     

    We'll be doing a combat log parse after the fight. Blatant offenders will be removed from the loot raffle.

    The new newbie gear is a 50ql longsword, 30ql wooden shield and 30ql leather armor. None of it can be improved and it stays in inventory after death.

     

    I did a quick test with a new char and it makes combat a lot more viable for new chars since they can now kill rats, sheep, bulls, wolves etc.

    Today's patch changed the equipment that new players get. It is now:

     

    50ql longsword

    30ql wooden shield

    30ql leather armor

     

    None of it can be improved and all of it stays on the corpse after death.

     

    This is definitely a great change! I did a quick test with a new char:

     

    Aged spider: got it down to 5% health before dying

    Aged rooster: killed it without taking any damage (0.11fs gain!)

    Adolescent bison: got it down to 60% health before dying

    Young wild boar: got my butt kicked

    Mature/Aged sheep: very easy, 0.10fs each

    Young bull: quite easy, took 15% damage, 0.16fs gain

    Venerable brown bear: got it to 50% health before dying

    Aged cave bug: pretty tough fight, 0.21fs

     

    This definitely makes it possible for new players to have fun fighting.
