Cured Silk
Class: MNK BST
Race: HUM IKS TRL OGR VAH BAR

But on Wu's:
Class: MNK BST
Race: HUM IKS VAH

This means that although cured silk can be worn by all monks and beastlords, wu's can only be worn by beastlords that are vah shir and iksar. Logically, this would suggest that wu's is specifically sized medium (while cured silk is not sized). But then shouldn't barbarians, who can wear either medium or large, also be able to wear wu's? Or is it restricted to medium only races, which would mean vah shirs are medium? As far as I understand it, vah shir are like barbarians as far as armor size, then can wear either medium or large armor. If wu's can't be worn by large races, this makes sense, but it doesn't make sense that barbarians, who can wear medium armor, are left out. Maybe vah shir are are slightly smaller than barbarians, so can stretch the wu's out a little, but barbarians can't? Any ideas here, because I'm stumped, frankly. Trying to figure out Verant's logic on this one.

Anyway, this is good news to tailors, who now have more people to sell their cured silk and wu's to, to help fund their practice in the skill.

which means wu's isnt explainable

As long as he posts under the Maradon account, and avoids the Mara-rants, I think he's allowed to talk all he wants about EQ.

Remember, YOU have to click on his posts to see and read them. They are very easy to ignore if you don't want to see them.

And this time, he's dead on. They wear whatever Verant decides they can wear. It may not make sense to us, but I'm sure it made sense to somebody.

Densetsu had this to say about John Romero:
they are SUPPOSED to be a large race, which doesn't explain the lack of the Slam skill.

It's more like they are a large-ish race. Some of the large sized outfits fit them, but they don't have quite the mass of the truely large races. If they did, they wouldn't be able to Safefall.

And Vah Shir don't fit in Kelethin doorways, whereas barbarians do when crouching.

Oh, has anyone else noticed that some of the new Monk/Beastmaster weapons use the H2H skill? I guess they found a way to fix that problem that kept them from doing that. I wonder what uber-weapons there are for monks now?

Only Vah Shir I have is a beastlord...do kitty warriors at least get Slam?

Slam isn't a class ability, it's a race ability. If the beastlord doesnt have it, none of them do.

There are Small, these of, of course, include Halflings, Dwarves, and Gnomes.

There are Elven Races (Which are Small-Medium), and these include Dark Elves, Wood Elves, and High Elves.

There are Medium Races, and these include Humans, Half Elves, and Erudites.

There are Medium-Large races, and these include Barbarians, Iksar, and Vah Sir(sp, I don't have Luclin yet).

Then there are large races, which are, duh, Ogres and Trolls.

Now, this doesn't explain why Barbarians can't use cured silk, but who know, maybe Barbarians will be able to in the future, if it's brought to Verant's attention.

(More likely, it will be either ignored, or low on the priority list, or they'll make some In-Character Roleplay excuse that actually makes no sense at all.)

Var Shir are a medium, fat, race.

No, that's pretty easy to explain. The kitties are graceful in their movements, where the Barbs are... well... "not graceful". They'd rip and shred cured silk by just running around.

I can see that, but then again, Barbarians can be rogues (I've always had a problem with that...)

Hummm, good points. Maybe they could, but it's just not part of their fighting style? They've learned to be lighter on their feet, and performing a Slam attack goes against that?

Well, none of the new hand to hand weapons I've seen (not saying there aren't any good ones I haven't seen) look especially good for monks, at least not at lower levels. But great for beastlords. It seems they made a new ulak line, which are all h2h weapons usable by monks and beastlords. Bought a polished steel ulak in GFay for 200pp, it's 9 27 h2h weapon. Also has 3str, 3wis, 25hp, 25mana. Monks CAN use it, but I don't see why any monk over about level 30 would. But beastlords would get a lot of mileage out of it. My monk currently uses it to help her raise her tradeskills; will give it to my beastlord when I get Luclin (Christmas is just 8 days away!). Also noticed that a rusty ulak drops, also a h2h, and not just on Luclin either, met someone in GFay who got it off a decaying skeleton in GFay, he didn't even have Luclin. Also a h2h weapon, not very good stats on it obviously, but it's the only rusty weapon I've seen that's actually magic! And no, it can't be sharpened into a tarnished ulak, people have tried, it won't combine with a sharpening stone, at least it doesn't now, but Verant may change that in the future.

Um, barbarian beastlords CAN wear cured silk. All races of beastlords can wear cured silk, but only vah shir and iksar beastlords can wear wu's. Which as I've said, if wu's is medium, this should only leave out ogres and trolls, barbarian beastlords should be able to wear wu's. Maybe it sliped Verant's mind, obviously they have more pressing matters with all the Luclin problems that keep popping up. But they'll have to adress this eventually.

Rogues aren't always your pick pocket stealthy types. I have always seen "rogue" as a catch-all term to mean "Thief, thug, brigand, pirate, robber" type. They can be any and all of those, and still be a rogue.

its just too damn general of a term.

Odds are someone who has SOL got it there, and later gave it to the skelly in GFay. I've given all sorts of crap weapons to mobs before, sometimes to my chagrin as they proceeded to slaughter every newbie in sight.

Not true, Iksar do not get to wear any Large Equipment. If they did, they'd be able to wear Large Banded. So they can't be considered a large race in the slightest.

Nope, if you've checked Allakhazam you'll notice that rusty ulaks are showing up on several skeletons in many different Norrath zones. Too many times to just be planted ulaks, unless tons of players are going out of their way to plant these ulaks. Maybe they are, who knows.

As for killing every skeleton in sight for ulaks, um, it's really obvious looking at a skeleton if it has one or not, it's clearly visible in its hand.

Their king is downright huge. He's also wearing hair extenders. Looks cool though, and I love a guy that can pull off long hair.

Now, as for not using a Slam attack? That's easy. Vah'Shir learn to NOT slam into things at high speed and force. This allows 'em to survive falls, but it also makes it counter-instinctive to slam into someone. Needless to say, a Vah'Shir in a mosh pit does not do well, but they're better suited to Kelethin than your average wood elf is.
