Patch notes are up on test server

some changes to carbine are

* Carbine *

Improved accuracy modifiers

Improved counterattack modifiers

Lowered carbine melee damage penalty.

Rumor has it that the infamous pirate Nym has begun rewarding adventurers with weapons from his private stockpile. A special 'slug-thrower' carbine is available to those who succeed in Nym's new quest series!

Added melee/ranged damage mitigation 1-3 abilities. These abilities are spread through the elite professions and will limit the damage ranges that can be done to you. If an NPC/Creature attacker does 1-100 points of damage, is using a melee weapon, and you have damage mitigation 3, the actual damage range that can be done to you is actually 1-40. There are 3 damage mitigation abilities for ranged, and 3 for melee. They do not stack.

So...what you are saying is that we really still are not getting anything? Perfect...because I don't know what I would do if we were ever fixed, I would probably just cancel my account.

Is this Nym's carbine quest currently on the test server or is this live now on regular servers?

Oh, and is there any way to raise Nym faction? Mine is like -5000 for some reason. I really wish it wasn't. Anything I can do to bring it up?

all this is only on test at the moment. Have not done any Nym's quests yet too busy buzzing around 375,440 ham Canyon Krayt dragons with about 30 people firing cdefs . the speeders make it possible to lure hoards of enemys to attack the krayts. Mine you with 3 dragons,45 critters of6 types along with all us zipping around it's a wee bit lagin.

Nym faction can be raised by killing Blood Razor's and Canyon Corsairs on Lok

Are you sure about the Blood Razors? A friend of mine said he got nothing w/ Nym from killing them. I'm going to be trying the Canyon Corsair soon, but I can't get anything but pirate and bloodRazors on my town's mission terminal...hehe

So, you think this carbine will be kinetic dmg? Maybe stun? Perhaps useful against those Nightsisters, mmm? Interesting. I'll definitely be doing the quest for the faction and the xp, and the gun...heeh

I know that I'm not the only one who is greatly anticipating this quest....but lets not forget that every other quest rewarded weapon is a sac of **edit**. Lets not get our hopes up to high. The devs have shown us only nerfs no love. I don't really expect them to change that with the next patch.

Killing Blood Razors doesn't raise Nym faction.

I have no idea how it happened, but my Nym standing also got dropped down to -5k... its a real pain in the butt. I'll try canyon corsairs, hopefully that will work.

It can't be that great of a carbine, they'd hurt the market for player-crafted carbines...

if it's kinetic damage I'd take it anyway
