Spell Weaving

Is there anyway to achieve a high level focus on this shard currently? I am looking into this skill and wanted to know if it was worth investing in. Thanks.

Focus skill could be defined as the "Warrior's Meditation Skill" - It increases the Mana and the Stamina regeneration rates.

A warrior's swing rate is determined by the amount of stamina he has so the ability to increase the regeneration of that attribute can be beneficial. Mana is also an important stat for warriors who use special combat moves as part of their tactics.

Hit Points, Stamina, and Mana all have a 10 second control associated with them called "10 second gains." This control tells the game system how much to increase the current values by every 10 seconds.

For every 10 points of Battle Focus a warrior's 10 second Stamina gain amount is increased by 1.
For every 20 points of Battle Focus a warrior's 10 second Mana gain is increased by 1.

How to Use:
Similar to the mage's Meditation skill, Battle Focus will raise passively as you regain Stamina and Mana.

Training:
You simply need to do anything that lowers your Stamina and Mana in order to increase the level of your skill. UOT has done nothing special change this.

OK, chalking that one up to miscommunication. Yes, I asked about a high focus level, in regards to the spell weaving arcane focus, but I was rather vague about my meaning, sorry about that.

Ahh - you mean standing in an Arcane Circle (there is one on Arete in a small tower just outside the Arete Zoo), and casting Arcane Circle.

Here is what I know:

The caster of the Arcane Circle spell and up to four participating arcanists must stand inside an arcane circle. When the caster invokes this spell, a magically charged emerald (called an arcane focus) is created for the caster and each participating arcanist. The arcane focus increases duration, spell damage, healing spell effectiveness, and area of effect for the activator’s Spellweaving spells.

Other than that I know very little - hope this helps some.

See the part about and 4 other spellweavers to get the max bonus is what has me worried... is this skill basically worthless now due to low player numbers..especially ones using spellweaving? From what I can find the other weavers need to be within 20 points of each others ability to get an improved arcane focus. I know you are busy with other stuff, but can you add this to your list of things to look into?

I have never personally played with Spellweaving so I am not the best one to comment. Give it a try - it seems to me that even with only one Arcanist in the circle the effect has a fairly long duration.

What I have seen people do to make spellweaving successful on smaller less populated servers is make the Focus level received from casting arcane circle based off of your arcane focus. 1-20, lvl1 21-40 lvl 2, 41-60 level 3, 61-80 level 4, 81-100, leevel 5, and then at 120 it gives a level 6 focus based off of your spellweaving spell. Just a sugegestion, spellweaving isnt very good without a high level focus!
