[edit] Marauder Battlemage

I just saw a Marauder Battlemage in Rockmilk Cave wearing Glass Boots, which is unusual because Marauders are supposed to wear Heavy Armor. --Sundaroct131088 14:48, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

Possibility: he was fighting the bandits in the cave, and his boots got damaged to the point of breaking. Rather than run around with broken boots, he went for the nearest replacement boots he could find - a pair of glass boots on a dead bandit, and put those on. Odd, maybe, but I've seen the AI do stranger things in this game... --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 17:19, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

Actually, all Marauder Battlemages are by default equipped with light armor boots (100% chance), rather than heavy armor boots. For whatever reason, several varieties of NPC spellcasters are equipped with light armor boots; bandit hedge wizards, for example, wear robes and no armor except for a set of light armor boots. Given that Marauder Battlemages have no Light Armor skill whatsoever, they get maybe 1 point of armor rating from wearing the boots and in exchange have abysmal spellcasting effectiveness. Yet they'll always wear the boots! Sometimes you wonder how the NPCs are able to do any damage with their wonderful AI ;) --Nephele^Talk 19:28, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

Perhaps this has just been a tacky way to reduce the spell effectiveness of the Hedge Wizards, in contrast with the Necromancers/Conjurers? Rather than making a whole list of new spells for the Hedge Wizards, the developers simply used the Boots. As for the Battlemages wearing Light Boots... That could easily have been a slip-up. Leveled lists are real fun when you have to add dozens of them to other lists, and so on and on... :P --Timenn 14:07, 6 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Marauders Outside

Idk how talk works, but does anyone know where marauders are Outside of caves and forts `n such? Pimgd

There aren't too many places where marauders can be found outside:

• Fort Ontus Exterior (Missile)
• Fort Wariel Exterior
• Fort Wooden Hand Exterior
• Sercen Exterior
• Fort Alessia Exterior

There's also a chance you won't even find them there - they might be replaced by dogs. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 04:33, 11 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Removed Notes section

I've removed the Notes section. The notes listed were:

* All items without a percentage next to them are guaranteed to be present on an NPC (although some items, such as potions or poisons could be used before you get a chance to loot them).
* Items with a percentage will only appear randomly
* The quality of armor is determined by the Armor Leveled List; for weapons see the Weapons Leveled List.
*Marauders always carry heavy armor.

1) and 2) refer to percentages which are not found on the page. They probably are a left-over of an older version of the page.
3) has been incorporated in the main article.
4) was already mentioned in the main article.
--Timenn 14:07, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Marauders may carry Greaves, Gauntlets, Shields and Repair Hammers(Warlords may wear a helmet). All this is obviously determined by percentage. --Sundar 00:21, 7 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Orc Marauder Warlord

If anyone is wondering, the Orc warlord only appears during the mages guild quest in Leyawin, at the end of the fort. He carrys the key to the room needed to go to for the amulet. :) ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucky the Cat Guy (talk • contribs).}

Yes... as it says on the article, "† Will only be encountered during the Leyawiin Recommendation quest." –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:33, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
