Talk:Ogre

There are some unique nasties in Urgoz's Warren. I've heard talk of vampires and ghouls. Maybe there are ogres too.
 * I think that Ogres are a real thing. We have ogre slaying mods and shields with additional armor against ogres. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png|User:Gem]] 10:37, 11 May 2006 (CDT)
 * has anyone ever seen any foe related to an ogre? maybe this is ANETs idea of a big joke on the user community. --Honorable Sarah 12:07, 11 May 2006 (CDT)
 * What about furnace guardians in SF? Just a thought. --Vortexsam 01:35, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

Wikipedia describes Oni as being demons or ogres. Since Factions Dragons are of the eastern type, is it likely that its "Ogres" are too? Of course, there would still be the similarly vexatious question of the weapon mods vs Demons Pingping 00:39, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

The Factions strategy guide says that Ettins and Yeti are Ogres. What's the wiki's policy on using information from strategy guides? -- Gordon Ecker 23:44, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


 * The wiki has no policy on this, but the general consensus is that information from strategy guides should be treated with maximum suspicion. If you have an Ogreslaying mod or an Ogre-Slaying Knife, why not have a little tete-a-tete with an Ettin? &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 00:40, 2 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I just tested it, and the ogre slaying knife does more damage to Ettins in Nebo Terrace and Yetis in Jaya Bluffs than a 5-6 damage sword, while the sword does more damage to Giants in Thirsty River, Trolls in Silverwood or Summit Giant Herders in Thunderhead Keep. -- Gordon Ecker 16:50, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
