"Lynx Ring!"
LAST EDITED ON Jul-14-01 AT 10:18 AM (Pacific)

Thanks to willow's hex layout of the character information I was able to figure out what the lynx ring does. When invoked it modifies your characters resistances. It increases by 2 each of the following bytes 153 154 156 157 15B 15C 15D 15E which acording to Willow's layout is fire, water, air, mental and magic. So it seems the lynx ring does do something after all.

I've also found what the Muramasa Blade does, it is similar in that it increases resistances but by different amounts.
It increases bytes 153 155 157 159 15D by 2 bytes , 154 156 158 15E by 3 and 15A 15B 15C by 1 these are all the resitances.
It also increases 1A9 by 1 but I don't know what this byte is.

Esteban

PS. Willow these two items correspond to your unknown special powers the Muramasa is your unknown1 right after Karma (09) and the Lynx ring is unknown2 (0A)

sweet!

esteban, you are doing exactly what i wanted everyone to do - to collaborate and identify the missing info. this is awesome!

i've been bogged down a bit by work lately, but i plan on continuing the bane decoding party soon enough...

And we (I) thought they were "useless" all this time.

Good work!

I wonder if the resistance increase is retained if the character changes class? I'll have to look into that.

This is the first explanation I have heard about the Lynx Ring ever. We have been wondering about that for almost a decade! Excellent work !!

Regarding Muramasa Blade,

I seem to recall DW Bradley mentioning that invoking it would increase your number of strikes. This was, I beleive, on a Compuserve formal conference a little while after the game came out.

Interesting... wonder if the extra strike will import over Wiz7?
