Any good source to read up on how Belzebub and/or Tchernobog had been developed, what kits had been used, have been adjusted, etc. what source code might be available?

Any chance the modding tools / dev kit used for Belzebub are still around and somehow available? I would love to try and see what can be done with Belzebub since I think it was never really finished/balanced for endgame, i.e. shield usage, toHit, armor rating, max phys res, resistanc breaking, some ...

Hehe, yeah, I have done my fair share of 20 min kills, just because I could not stand to let the sucker "win" by letting him live :D Eventually I learned to grudgingly prioritize. Later Cave levels and some of the Hell levels are a lot of fun if you manage to pull the whole map by tele and...

If I remember correctly: silver oil - only from crafted items - need some for some of the all res or lightning res crafts azure oil - only from magic/blue items - you need lots of these to roll the dice on any of your crafts a lot crimson oil - only from rare/yellow items - need some, but not that m...

Try Barb and train your inner Buddha! :D Soc already, uhm, sometimes, uh, poses "interesting challenges", but try melee for eternal meditative bliss! :D Melee in general with heavy gear dependence, getting frozen being a death sentence, shields being a death sentence with specific mob grou...

singular, no s after player ;p

You have an unsummon skill in your tab.
Right next to your recharge staff (if you are a mage).

So I did some tests, mob hp and xp are fairly easy: player1: 150% hp, 125% xp player2: 200% hp, 150% xp player 3: 250% hp, 175% xp ... and so on: each +player gives +50% hp and 25%xp of player 0, additive For drops though, I can say I have seen absolutely no difference in amount of drops or item lev...

Was afraid of that. ^^

Alright, any experiences to benefit from though?

So how does this affect the game exactly? Item levels? mf?
Is there a chart anywhere?

In my experience so far (soc lvl 55), every mob has at least one immunity type that can be broken without elemental drain. Unfortunately those can be different from game to game, but there are some probabilities. For Terror Domain for the knights and the necros, that is usally fire, sometimes lightn...
