Captain Arne Is PRO · Mar 05, 2006, 09:00 PM // 21:00

is the -50 cesta gone? i've read several messages saying it has been removed from the game o_O

vidiot · Mar 05, 2006, 09:04 PM // 21:04

no u get it in a quest in ascalon...look for it its in the back by great northern wall down the steps...ull find it

Death Heavens · Mar 05, 2006, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Nope, I dont think it has, go to Symon the scribe and get the quest, although you dont see the exact specifications of your reward, its there

Haggard · Mar 05, 2006, 11:46 PM // 23:46

that said, i think its a real possibility they will be removed soon, maybe it would be a good idea to stock up on them? (in case they become like HoDs)

Captain Arne Is PRO · Mar 05, 2006, 11:49 PM // 23:49

If you want one go to Augary International.

jimmy_logic · Mar 06, 2006, 01:37 AM // 01:37

Why would they get rid of it? I personally don't want to have the feeling as if 1 million InvinciMonks all cried out all at once. :P

tricky · Mar 06, 2006, 02:04 AM // 02:04

What do they do?

kvndoom · Mar 06, 2006, 02:06 AM // 02:06

Must we get this conspiracy theory after every single patch???

if they decided to remove the cesta, they would just take it from everyones inventory and everything, just like that Axe...SoA right?

.killjoy · Mar 06, 2006, 02:17 AM // 02:17

if they nerf that item they will nerf skills that make 55's possible

Wouldn't think so, if they ever chose to ditch it, i imagine it would be discontinued like the HoD weapons.
If they don't like it anymore for whatever reason - discontinue
If it goes blatantly against the rules of the game - Remove

That i would presume is the rough policy.

Hendorr · Mar 06, 2006, 06:56 AM // 06:56

I don't think they will remove it. I know all the farming is not what they intended, but I think they gave the item a good thought when they made it. Just think about it. It's a pretty bad item when you're in Ascalon so why would they give it as a reward for a pretty hard quest.
In ascalon you have something like 200-300hp, a -50 item is very bad there. I think they have given the item some good thoughts when they made it. I think they're not gonna remove the item. Just think of the fist guy that made a Imonk necro or whatever maybe he went in to the HoH and got really far. The 55hp is for some good builds and should not be removed.
They have more succes if they nerf a skill like Spiteful Spirit in PvE. I think whatever you do there always is a way to farm. You just can't stop it. There are so many skills. There is just no freaking way that you can prevent ppl from farming.

Aeris Gainsboroughe · Mar 06, 2006, 07:08 AM // 07:08

I don't think they will remove the -50 health item. They seem to be just nerfing the places where 55 monks are used. Although they did nerf the one skill but they heven't nerfed any lately. Like the griffen farming is now gone, and they have the nightmares in UW. But it is possible tostill solo UW. But not nearly as easy. So they have no reason to nerf the item if they keep nerfing the farming spots.

I dunno what is the reason, but when I wanted to do this quest i does not have it on all my characters so maybe you dont have it coz of same reason.

I got it only on my oldest char which got all missions and quest around ascalon done.
