Combat Equipment/Skills

I assume that PvP will not be added until all of the planned equipment and skills are in the game, so they can be tested?

Right now I know for a fact that Killing Blow does not work, at all. I hope that all of the bugs will be worked out before some people gimp their characters by unknowingly choosing skills that do not work. Even with the temporary reduction in retraining skills, with only 1 grail token needed, it will still cost me 13 grail tokens and 130 stamina in order to get rid of my broken skill.

I basically paid grail tokens and most of a day's stamina to be a beta tester. I am looking forward to the PvP conflict (especially the pillaging Camaar bit), and so I hope that we can all go into it knowing that the equipment/skills we choose are functional.

what combat update?

it's the big overhaul aro has been planning for a while,the latest updates are just small things to polish stuff
(soups were kinda overpowered)

I don't think combat will be overhauled for a while...  Groups should probably be added soon, but it won't be anything great until combat is updated/PvP is added.

Soups are still "overpowered" they give twice the skill gain from 1 ingredient than you would gain if you cooked that ingredient into a meal and ate it.  I'm not sure if this is intention either as an extra incentive to encourage cooking and drinking soups, or if its to help increasing stats go a little faster.  Either way, if it is meant to be like that, I'd recommend going back to 1 ingredient for 2 soups and change it to .015 skill gain each soup.  So its still higher than normal meals, but not 2x as efficient.
