Spawning Issue and Orc Loot

[DoRk]

There seems to be something wrong with spawns in/near the yew crypts. It just looks wrong.

Also iam pretty sure that all orcs with the ringmail graphics droped a ringmail tunic, not only the orc lords.
(this is a memory thing tho - i might be wrong)

You are absolutely correct. Although, I don't remember any other than orc lords having the graphic in t2a. The orc lord ALWAYS had the same loot with variable gold, the rounded double axe, the chainmail tunic and the orc helm. There were other treasures sometimes in addition to these, but they always had this loot. Also, the orc masks (not orc helms to be clear) allowed you to not get attacked by orcs when you were wearing one. It was a sort of disquise. That was the whole reason for their creation. I used to use them to get inside forts. Your post is prolly more of an accuracy post though, rather than a bug.

There were two types of orcs that wore chainmail, the orc captains (those orcs that had the graphic but had a normal orc name), and the orcs called "An Orcish Lord". Both types dropped a chainmail tunic, a double axe, thigh boots, and an orc helm. Obviously the orcish lords actually dropped better loot in terms of gold and they usually dropped a magic chainmail tunic instead of a normal one.

The one thing I should mention is the orcish masks you are referring to are called "masks of orcish kin". They were an early UOR addition, and as you might imagine they won't be found here.

Kaivan meant ringmail not chainmail, btw...

Thats how i remember it as well, not sure about the ringmail tunic mostly beeing magic on the lords but the general loot table was like that.

I should have sperated this post, the spawn issue here and the orc loot at era accuarcy board - my bad.

I seems to remember mostly skeletons down there. Though that could have been during ren

skeletons, ghouls, wraiths and 2 liches - i think the spawn types are ok, maybe a bit underpopulated.
the thing i wanted to point out is that those ettins, ratppl etc. should spawn on the surface not on an unreachable spot down, inside the crypts.

Aye, these ogre/rat/orc spawns should be outdoors
Thanks
