Hot damage?

Is there any notation for marking that an attack does elemental damage? The Astronomer's critical does hot damage, but I'm not sure how to mark that, if there's any way at all. --Southwest 12:44, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

  • Note to self: Investigate before asking for help. It's amazing how easy some things are if you just look. Yeah, nevermind about the above. --Southwest 12:54, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

moxie for no hit?

just got hit a non-critical with moxie 176...guess it's higher. --Parroharro 07:56, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Star chart no longer a guaranteed drop?

I just didn't get a star chart from the astronomer. I am pickpocketing averyone, and i think i did him (if allowed), but i don't remember gettign one then. I definately didn't get one at the end of combat. My item drop rate is only around +50%. Much surprised was I. So I think this may have been changed. Can anyone else please verify this for me?Teffania

I just pickpocketed this item from the astronomer now (then died), so maybe that was what happened.Teffania

I did not Pick Pocket from him, and I did not get the Star Chart. It's definitely not a guaranteed drop. -- Asmodai Annalai

  • Are you sure about that? A few thousand data points say otherwise, but if you can get some proof... --TechSmurf 19:30, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
  • I don't have proof to offer, but I can definitely coincide with them that it's -not- a guaranteed drop. Had +50% item drop [+20% from DB skill, and +30% from the one Bad Moon skill [Envy]. Attempted to pickpocket but failed. Killing the monster yielded nothing. --Val 23:03, 26 November 2007 (CST)
  • As per the radio show on 2/4/08, there are actually two otherwise identical astronomers in the code, except that their drop rates are different. No idea how to represent this on the main page, but it explains the discrepancy. --VanDamien 21:29, 4 February 2008 (CST)
  • The Deck of Every Card put me up against the second Astronomer. ID 354, same stats, different factoids. —Yendor (talk) 04:55, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Encounter rates

I thought I remember seeing that the encounter rate for the Astronomer differs from the other star folk, as well as the irritating series of random encounters occuring more often at the airship. Is there a single place that data is stored? -- Asinine 08:16, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

  • I haven't heard about the irritating series, but there are a few monsters on the On the Trail page including this one. --Mud Man 09:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Ahh, thanks so much! -- Asinine 09:28, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
