Magic resistance

[Zioth]

How do you increase your magic resistence? I was able to get by with only a small number of potions for a while, but now, at the level 78 dungeon, monsters are regularly hitting me for 120 HP with their spells. I use half my potions or more in most battles, even though I can kill any moster in one hit.

I'm a troll barbarian, and this is version 1.17. I'd be fine with mixing a drink at Orb's, if a particular stat would be useful.

THIS IS ALL TRANSLATED BY CHARLES KNAPER AS NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE ANY IDEA AS TO WHAT læhynê IS MUTTERING.

I probably will not be able to give you the answer you want but that happens sometimes. Chop Chop!!
A) I suspect you are playing version 0.17 not 1.17, and it is using classic mode.

B) about the only place I can think of to increase your Magical resistance would be with a Master, that would give you additional Mana on level advancement. Unfortunately, you did not list which master you have. But as you are playing a Troll Barbarian, there are NO Masters that will give you Mana. http://knaper.com/usrp/mstr/r5-c3.html

C) As too drinks that you can mix, there is a difference between 0.17 and those versions that are later than 0.17. Specifically how they effect Trolls. So you can use the limited studies published by me at
http://www.knaper.org/usrp/orbs.html for some drinks and and the possible effects. I didn't specifically publish for a Troll Barbarian, but I played as a Troll Barabian for several years in the 90's and used Eye of newt as my primary orb's drink, as I recall. I later played a Gnoll Barbarian and the as a gnoll alchemist, then Troll Alchemist. Each was played for several years. Once version 0.17 was updated with version 0.18, I changed to playing as an Orc Alchemist primarily, because of the ill effects of orb's drinks stronger than 10 ingrediat upon Trolls.

D) to more effectivly manage your healing potions, you will have to be real careful, or start NOT going so deep into the dungeons. You may have to buy potions after each battle in the dungeons. Version 0.17 was bad about NOT having the monk to sell potions as often as later versions. Also I don't know if your SYSOP has altered the dungeon Damage difficulty, option 10 And option 38, Armour base value. I suspect he changed option 6 of the configuration to 100 dungeon fights. The deeper you go and the more the difficulty, the more monsters and tougher to kill.

I hope this info has helped you some.
