Tainted Heartstone  

 

OK .... I was able to max out all my lang. execept "kobold" at lvl 56 and got all the max beniffits listed .. so not sure why its recommended for lvl 60

I have a 16 Druid that just finished mastering all languages and has the max stats already, no partial stats listed.

14 Languages in about an hour and a half, Better then my wooden figurine (No stats) Hope this helps.

it says recommended level 60, that explains why stats are lower for some people

worth 1350 tribute points

If you are having trouble with getting your Heartstone to the max stats, try removing it and then replace it. I saw someone who had learned all the languages and was stuck at +8. He removed it and then replaced it and the stats went up to 10.

I saw this stone as a decent upgrade to the kobold charm that my three boxes had been carrying around for a year. I also had never done the language-thing before and was bored of AA grinding, so I bought two stones in the baz (one for 2k pp, the other for 1.5k pp) and started language skilling.

I began by making hotkeys for it. I made a marco button in the Socials page (in Actions) by typing "/gsay blah" (without the quotes) in all five lines. I then dragged a copy of the button to a Hotkey, then set that Hotkey to be pressed by an easily reachable keyboard key using the Options-Keys page (I chose the Numpad decimal key).

I then grouped my three boxes together, set each to speak their native language (in this case, barbarian, erudite and gnomish) and started tapping their hotkeys at a rate of about once per second. In about 10 mins, all three toons were skill 100 in all three languages. My erudite mage had previously skilled to 100 in froglok in a previous session and so I taught my other two toons that as well.

After this, I wondered how I would skill in those other languages without using up my precious training points. After playing around, I discovered what other posts have called "the ladder method" of language skilling. What it is, is that one toon can always teach language to another toon up to his own level plus one. For example, a toon at skill 5 can teach another toon to skill 6. Then the toon who was at 6 can teach the first toon to 7, who then teaches the other toon to 8, and so on until both are 100. Sweet.

For the next few hours, I skilled my toons. Here are things I noted as I progressed:

-the barbarian (a shaman) was consistantly slower to learn than the the erudite (mage) and gnome (sk). Since his wis is higher than the int of the gnome, the barbarian should have skilled faster. Based on this, I am convinced that only int (not the higher of int or wis) affects the skill rate of languages.

-the group window chats will say "tells the group in an unknown tongue..." until your language skill in that language reaches 25. After that, the chats will say "tells the group in goblin..." (or barabarian or whatever) and so identify what language is being spoken.

-Having 100 in barbarian, erudite, gnomish, froglok and old erudan did not increase the stone's stats.

-Sometime during the skilling of goblin (but before they reached 100), the stats went to +6 in hp, endurance and man.

-The stats at goblin 100 and faerie 2 was ac/cha/wis/int/agi +1, hp/end/mana +12, SV cold/fire/magic +1.

-At faerie 100, stats went to +2/+18.

-Skilling elder elvish did nothing.

-Skilling to gnoll +2 bumbed stats to +3/+24.

-Combine, dragon, elder dragon and dark elvish also increased all the stats.

-The rest of languages increased all or some of the stats...the languages were not consistant.

-After skilling my toons in all the languages they knew (each knew the same 23), ac/cha/wis/int/agi were +8, hp/mana/end were +60 and SV cold/fire/magic were +9. The languages they knew were:

Barbarian
Combine Tongue
Common Tongue
Dark Elvish
Dragon
Dwarvish
Elder Dragon
Elder Elvish
Elder TeirDal
Elvish
Erudian
Faerie
Froglok
Gnoll
Gnomish
Goblin
Halfling
Lizardman
Ogre
Old Erudian
Orcish
Troll
Vah Shir

Since the stone was not at the listed max, I looked at some posts here and at castersrealm and saw references to other languages. I found Thieves Cant on my rogue and after skilling my shaman in it, his stone hp/mana/end went up to +66 and the saves to +10.

I also found Dark Speech on my iksar and ogres and after skilling my shaman in it, his stone stats maxed.

There are references to a few other languages like Giant and Kobold and Dark Tongue, and that there are 26 languages, but I don't know where to find the other languages and don't know where to find this mysterious 26th language.

Good hunting,
Tamudan
BTW, each of my toons were over lvl 65 and started out with at least 1 point in every language.

I maxed out all the uncommon languages and got max stats for my necro. I finished last night with all the uncommon languages and it said +8 stats and + 66 hp etc. then I logged back in tonight to finish the other languages and the stats were at maximum before I started. Apparently either the update this morning fixed it or just logging fixed it.
I also am not at level 60 but still have max stats.

Just for everyone's Information there is a 26th Language and it is called Unknown Tongue. If u do not belive this come the The Nameless server. Make a crap alt and send Zuvus a /tell.Just tell me what it is about and i will come prove it to u.
