Your Survival Bonus will
increase as you fight opponents. The higher the Survival Bonus the
longer it will take to increase it (it will take a lot longer to
increase from 51% to 52% than from 1% to 2%). The unfortunate part of
this bonus is that when your character dies it's Survival Bonus reverts
back to 0.
In order to display the bonus, open your inventory and move your mouse
pointer over "Weapons" in your character screen.
A high survival bonus will have 2 effects:
♦
Increase the damage dealt by the character.
♦
Increase the character's chances to find special magic items.
Note:
I found a neat trick for increasing your Survival Bonus...
The bonus rises during the times that you are in "combat
mode" (you know you are in "combat mode" when the orange circle
appears around your feet), so as long as you are fighting an opponent (even if you
aren't striking it) the Survival Bonus will continue to raise. So go to
the lowest difficulty level that you can reach, and take on a goblin in
the Bellevue area.... it will do nearly no damage to you whatsoever if
you are a high enough level. (This trick will not work if you are a low level.)
Then just walk away from the computer and let your Survival Bonus raise
while you do other things. Just be sure to check on the computer once in
a while just to be sure that your life isn't getting too low.
Another trick that I was told lately that is even better is
this....
Attract the attention of a bunch of opponents then run and
click on a road sign (any will do) or on anything else that will open a new
window such as an NPC, Merchant, Combo Master, etc. The enemies will appear to be hitting you
and your SB will raise but you won't take any damage as long as you keep the
road sign message up on the screen.
NOTE: I was just informed that this didn't work with a
Combo Master for FrostElfGuard.... I don't know if it was the specific Combo
Master he was using or Combo Masters in general but to be safe always check to
make sure you aren't taking damage before walking away from your computer!
