Rumors

As with anything, there are many rumors or assumptions made about AC2. Below are some current issues of contention.

Rumors

Tactician Adept
Rumor: Tact Adept gives additional accuracy to turrets
Discussion: This is hard to prove one way or the other. However, the facts are:
Turbine provided a patch that changed Tactician Adept to affect turret accuracy. This was then broken in a subsequent patch. August 2005 patch supposedly corrected this, so Tact Adept again provided accuracy bonus to turrets.

Debunked

Rumor - Gem Quest
Giving Ryvenna a gem cut with Gem Cutter gives 4x base value of the gem!
Debunk Ryvenna gives the same amount of gold for a cut versus non-cut gem. When the quest was initially created, it was possible to get 4x value if turning in cut gems. This was quickly patched by Turbine.
However - there may be a way to cut gems for 4x value...

Rumor - Evasion and Accuracy
Accuracy/Evasion is broken, I got a streak of all these misses/hits in a row
Debunk
Chance to hit a target (e.g. monster), has hard limits set in place (for when player and monster are the same level)

Maximum Accuracy is 95%, there is always a small chance for a target to evade

Minimum Accuracy is 5%, there is always a small chance to hit target

It may seem like there are streaks of misses or hits. While there is as low as 5% chance for either to occur, this mechanic is working as intended, and is truly random. Most games actually fudge the numbers, prohibiting the chance of a bad string of misses artificially. Of course, this doesn't apply if the target is behind a tree or stuck in a rock, for example.
