Playing Troll

1. We tested and proved that metals are 50% less effective on trolls than on any other races. Average hit on metals was 44-45dmg and on troll skin 50-52dmg. Conclusion is that for trolls fine metals deduct max 6.5 damage from any hit. For other races fine metals deduct max 13 damage from any hit. So this means metals are worth for xping, because you have chance to absorb any damage under 6.5 and on any damage over 6.5 you can deduct 6.5. However, metals are not worth in pk because you run out of moves before hp and the hp difference is small.
2. We tested the effect of current STR on troll unarmed damage. +2 current STR difference from 22 to 24 is 5-7dmg per hit. Without +2 STR hits were around 44-45, with STR ring 49-52. That means around 10% damage increase from STR ring. This means 1 current STR is around 5% damage increase. We should test if this applies on higher STR as well 26 current STR vs 28 current.
3. Best weapon class for trolls is definitely unarmed, especially after the changes where a lvl 25 character is the same as lvl 50. This is because in the past unarmed suffered from low OB, now the OB is high enough.
4. We can wield a rough staff with barehanded without getting a damage decrease. We can embed defence ingredients into staff at DT so it gives +25PB and weights 26lbs. Command to wear staff as shield: 'hold staff as shield'. Rough staff loads on apprentices, HSB on giants, chunk in Emyn
5. Whetstone loads from hatch: all e 2s 1e
6. Sturdy rope loads on ground next to river near Beorn's home
7. Trolls can't anymore solo Eblees without going hurt with hewing spear. Also trolls can't anymore solo Sage by doing bodyguards with hewing-spear.
8. Best way to get vials from EP is to get barrel from BBT and fill it with blood of the floor of BBT
9. Trolls can learn healing herblore from Frychria, but only try mix it with very good kit
10. Unarmed skill gives +30 OB at 100% while weapon skills give +20 OB at 100%. So it is 20 OB(100% weapon skill) + 20 OB(weapon) vs 30 OB(100% unarmed skill). Max unarmed is 104% (34/34).
11. Trolls can provide Necromancer with baneberries and Necromancer will offer his alliance for the session.
12. Troll players do get OB bonus for Sauron's darkness. One way to achieve it is by sacrificing necklaces to our Lord Sauron. Necklace has to be crused before corrupt by orcs, then any caster lvl21+ can corrupt.
13. Troll player won't get any advantage from the effect of orcish battle horn.
14. It is more difficult for trolls to get Blood of Sauron effect since the mob giving the item for it is aggressive vs trolls. Trolls can ask orcs to help them getting it. This effect will give +2 str for 15minutes.
15. Trolls need 2 ropes to climb 100% - 1 for holding and 1 for tieing (tie rope dir). Trolls can have 3 pracs of climb with Rahku quest.
