Monk class in SoD

[Escher]

Hey mates.

I hate to ask this question but I've been trying to look for the answer myself from the sodguide site and the wikipedia but can't seem to find any answer to my question.

Regarding monks, do they still lose agility when they are carrying to much weight? I don't remember how much weight it was or if it was actually agility that was lost from EQ Live because I never actually played a monk, but with all the SoD changes I was wondering if that was still in the game? If so, could anyone tell me the exact information?

Thanks much. Take it easy.

Yes, they do. They lose AC after 15 + weight.

At level 60, the weight limit starts to go up, and at 65 it's 24.

Ouch that's big heh. Thank's mate.

24.9 is the max iirc. For a time I had it micromanaged to the 0.1

I was under the impression that the weight limit was 14 + (level/10) rounded down. Is that incorrect?

I used to notice that staying under 18 gave me a larger mitigation bonus. I know it sounds crazy, but it really really REALLY seemed that way. Of course I have no parses to back this up at all, but /shrug.

The mind is a powerful thing.

Yes.

And you're positive that's in SOD, not just in Live? I could have sworn that Wiz made a post stating that formula.

That's what I thought.

I was positive until you said this.

I haven't found a list for this on the boards anywhere. Could we get a post for monk weight restriction here? On live it was:
Level 1-14: <15 No Penalty

Level 15-29: <16 No Penalty

Level 30-44: <17 No Penalty

Level 45-50: <18 No Penalty

Level 51-54: <19 No Penalty

Level 55-59: <21 No Penalty

Level 60: <25 No Penalty.

I have no idea if this is accurate on SoD or not, but it would be very helpful to know...every pound counts to a monk!

14 + Level/10

Located in the Tome of Knowledge "Think a thread should be put in here?" thread. So yes, Hasrett is right

Remember those who will test it, that the client may show up something different from what it actually is.

Wiz has stated twice to me within recent months that the cap is 20.9. Each stone you're over after that you lose 10% of your avoidance boost from being a monk. So at 24.9 stones you'd effectively lose 40% of your avoidance.

That formulas was for when the levels when to 60. I never was 100% sure on how that extended to the lvl 65 game.
