Consider Information <UL> <LI>We have improved the information provided when considering an NPC's level of challenge by expanding upon the previous system to make it clearer and more precise.</LI> <LI>Arrows in the target window indicate the challenge of an opponent: <UL> <LI>3 down arrows = very weak opponent</LI> <LI>2 down arrows = weak opponent</LI> <LI>1 down arrow = below average opponent</LI> <LI>no arrow = average opponent</LI> <LI>1 up arrow = above average opponent</LI> <LI>2 up arrows = strong opponent</LI> <LI>3 up arrows = heroic opponent</LI> <LI>3 up arrows plus X2, X3, or X4 = epic opponent intended for 2, 3, or 4 groups in a raid</LI></UL></LI> <LI>When using the Simple (Frames) option, there are brackets around the NPC's name that indicate the following: <UL> <LI>Swords under target name = weak opponent</LI> <LI>Simple brackets = average opponent</LI> <LI>Fancy brackets = challenging opponent</LI> <LI>Fancy brackets plus banner = epic opponent</LI></UL></LI> <LI>The number of levels your target will fall within a given con color range (other than white) have been adjusted. <UL> <LI>Levels 1 to 19: 2 levels per color</LI> <LI>Levels 20 to 29: 3 levels per color</LI> <LI>Levels 30 to 39: 4 levels per color</LI> <LI>Levels 40 and higher: 5 levels per color</LI> <LI>Note: At levels 10 and below, there is only 1 level of green con.</LI></UL></LI> <LI>As a general rule of thumb, if you see an enemy with 1 up arrow, it's a good idea to team up with another player to take it on. If you see an enemy with 2 up arrows, add two members to your group. If you see an opponent with 3 up arrows, add three members to your group.</LI></UL> For any added information you may require please refer to <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=comtest&message.id=2" target=_blank>this</A> thread.Message Edited by -Aonein- on 09-15-2005 01:26 AM
