When you die, the Fanged Collar asks whether you want to live or not. You can refuse the collar, and I guess you'll just follow the 'normal' death procedure.I've only tried the collar once because I was trying to become a Parasite (hint: the loss of 2 item slots sucks).mckwack wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 11:56 pm I hope I'm not necroposting this thread, but inquiring mind wants to know..
Just wondering.. with the way Lich evolution is handled in 1.7.x, they basically became a race of their own, yes? They even have their own racial tree (along with the original race's) and have a separate entry on the 'Winners table' list (Lich/Necromancer instead of <Original-race>/Necromancer).
So.. if a Lich who wears Fanged Collar dies, would they be resurrected as a Parasite, or would they have the option to activate the Lich resurrection skill and stays as a Lich? Would they loose their Race/<Original-race> tree or the Undead/Lich tree, if choosing/becoming a Parasite? Or, in 1.7.x, Undeads could no longer become a Parasite?
My Lich winner hasn't had the chance to find a Fanged Collar yet, so I haven't been able to test this theory myself. Will try to send one from my other characters through the Item Vault if I ever could find one and report the findings here. Also, a search for 'Lich Parasite' in the forum didn't give out much info, hence my question above.
Cheers.
There is the addon Parasite in Pocket or whatever it is called, where new characters start with the collar in their pocket.I was just fooling around with it, and it's annoying when you find great head/neck gear
What I'm wondering about is the other way around: if you use it pre-Lich, become Parasite and your head gets replaced with that blue blob, what happens when you then become Lich? Do you get your Lich-face instead?
I think from a gameplay POV it is most useful for characters who are on their last life, becoming a Parasite is better than dying forever.
