Hello.

Searching & Zen's Link Thread answered some of my questions, but not these...


2.If Lamassu (Snake Queen) has TwiceBorn cast & dies is TwiceBorn activated before her Death=Snake shapechange or after her snake form dies? Would TwiceBorn work on an Immortal?

I've never tried this, but I think that Twiceborn will only be activated if she is killed, not just forced into snake form.

7.Have any of the patches changed what the starting cales did initially or is the manual roughly correct?

There haven't been any changes to the scales that I am aware of. You could check the patch release notes if you wan't to be doubly sure.

9.Does anyone have the numbers/formulas for how blood hunt success/quantity is determined, as in will a L5 Blood Mage bring in ~5x the blood slaves than a L1 Blood Mage? How much more helpful is a blood rod (25%? 50%?)? I'm assuming total blood level and not base blood level is used.

This is something that get's discussed pretty often, so if you search around some more you'll find threads discussing the most efficient blood hunters for each nation. You can find the formulas in Liga's Mannual Addendum:

The quick answer is that the higher level the blood mage, the more likely he is to be successful and the more slaves he will find. But the rate of return is not linear. A Level 1 mage is much better than a Level 0, a Level 2 mage is quite a lot better than a Level 1, and after that the differences become less and less noticeable. I think the standard blood hunter, if you can get it, is a level 1 mage with a Dousing Rod.
