The loads on southern smobs is not nearly as good as northern smobs.
Murash loads a full abs kit almost every pop. There is nothing even close to that on southern smobs. Even doon, and city heads do not load close to that.
I have yet to see a single top end abs piece load on a smob in the south. And I check them regularly
I think smob loads across the board should be better be them abs , dodge or combo smobs. What is the point of smobs loading gear that is crappier then stuff you can get telling guardian abs , dodge or combo ?
Murash and Agelmar both load top end abs kit Mhaliah, so it's even as far as that goes. However, the smob loads in general are crap and need to be re-done sooner rather than later.
Also, I dont expect a Murash/ Agelmar equivalent down south. They load what they load because there is a PK trap risk for hitting, and that justifies the full kit level they have. But I have yet to see a single top end abs piece load down south.
Murash is the head of the main pk city (Gatekeep) for darkside. Agelmar is the head of the main pk city (Fal Dara) on lightside. Calling it a northern vs southern thing makes no sense because it's a pk city head vs a pk city head. Both lightside and darkside can take the other, but you can't same side either.
For whatever reason the smob loads were reverted to a setup that was used years and years ago, whereas the setup prior had much better load % of top end gear but some people felt it was too high. The current state is just ridiculous though and I think loads would be better off doing the pre-reverted loads and just tinkering with the numbers than trying to improve the current setup.
I agree with Lamgwin. The loads are pretty horrible right now. I can tell guardian abs and get better gear doing that then what most smobs even load. It also seems to me all the abs smobs are in ds territory so there is always a risk of dying to a random ds pker after killing getting low from killing them. I'd like to see loads better especially southern ones.
As a new player I have noticed smob loads are the suck.
Also, a universal *this is a good kit* of all types, dodge, abs, combo is hard to configure. I love that we can see all the stats of everything, but not everyone is a mathematician to put all of those numbers together.
Being from WoTmud, I will probably stay here over wot, and I hope that changes for the better can be made.

And for abs, silver abs are the best. But shimmering is right behind it. (There's also smithed abs that can be best)
