Dark Age Of Camelot: The Grab Bag

It's Friday, and that can only mean one thing. It's Grab Bag Time!

Q. I have a question about bridge mechanics. A number of us have been in a debate on whether or not it is ok to jump on the beams that go under the bridge. A few say it's an exploit, and a few say it's not.

Q. When the game comes up originally, clicking on the icon on desktop.......it brings up my browser with the Herald on it. Is this new? Why?

Q. I have a question about the housing repossession "spam" I've been getting since I closed my accounts. Does the 120 days start from when the account was closed? From the day I received the first 120-day notice? Or the most recent 120-day notice? Thanks!

Q. The charge on Medal of Honor, once used, prevents the use of ANY charge for 12 minutes. Is this a bug? I am not aware of any other charge that has a similar effect.

Q. My question is about a shield proc. I have a Potentate Rekan's Tiny Buckler. It has a magical ability:

Function: shield debuff
Lowers the target's Armor Factor (AF), resulting in worse protection against some forms of attack.
Value 40
Target: Targetted
Range: 1500
Duration: 30 sec
Casting time: 2.0 sec
Damage: Spirit

-Spell has a chance of casting when this armor is hit by an enemy.

My question is...

Does this shield have the same chance to proc when used offensively as well as defensively?

Q. I know that thrust damage is 50/50 dex/str based. Someone had told me that Midgard spears are all dex/str even the slash damage spears. Is this true, a slash damage spear is based half on dex and half on str, or is it full str?

Q. I've been playing this game for a number of years now, and I KNOW that black dye does NOT give you a bonus to stealth, yet all these new players are determined that it does! Can you clear it up that black dye does NOT give a bonus to stealth?

Q. I was wondering what drops the warshadow bracer now. I have old copies of some of the updated items, but can't find what drops them now. I farmed warshades, glimmer strikers (caster bracer) and knights/geuists/deathwatchers and haven't seen any of these items drop. Are they even on the loot tables anymore or are they dragon/mini dragon only drops?

Q. One of the valk dragon shields (impervious night ward) has the same effect on both slots. Why is this?
