  • Can't you just Probe it?

    As stated, it is also great for if you want to use zimoru on beasts.  This will let you play around / gamble, but you can always restore to something you liked best if nothing else comes along.

    It also …
  • It does not!  I already set up aliases to transform all my wonder items, and to restore them.

    So I can flip, see if I like any of the new ones more.  If I do, make a negative of the new version, then flip the "restore…

    Subj: New Dingbat Artifacts

    Hi everybody,

    I am pleased to announce a few new dingbat items, available immediately.

  • Artisanals are done, bardics are not.  Been that way for a while.  Artisanals aren't being reactivated until the other half is done too.

    That is my understanding of the situation.
  • (Quote) They are not going to add an Omniscience artifact, this has been Officially Vetoed.

    I'm hoping that just expanding cult powers a little bit would be more acceptable.
  • What about a dingbat item that increases the potency of offered (or Engulfed) corpses, akin to the way you can level up figurines to increase the potency of esteem offerings significantly?

    It could just be something with multiple levels (…
  • Here is a counter-idea:
    Gnomish Paper Fold.

    Can give only Wetfold or Kirigami effects, consumes vellum (3 for Wetfold, 4 for Kirigami).  Costs 100-150 dingbats.

    If you are a bookbinder, it consumes 1 less vellum for the ef…
  • ... the things are cheap as heck and are about the only thing bookbinders make that people want to buy repeatedly.  Good for people who just want to perma-upkeep the effects, really bad for the tradeskill.
  • (Quote) I still really want that gnomish camera idea I suggested earlier!
  • (Quote) Lusternia's economy is not equivalent to a real-world economy so "Economy 101" has absolutely zero bearing here.  In the real world, more money flowing around means more investment, more jobs, etc; there is almost no outflow in Luster…
  • (Quote) I don't know that it's good activity though; it's just dumping gold into commodities, and then wiping the commodities out of the game.  Some commodities are already very difficult to generate, and people need those for their tr…

  • Your ideas seem backwards.  If someone has a lot of gold and wants to convert it to credits, they are not going to buy credits with real $.  They are going to buy off the market.  People who want gold and buy credits for that already can (and do).  …
  • II COW.

    BUG Cow#xxxxxxx was able to be scooped up by Acquisitio even though it is alive.
  • (Quote) There might be an issue with the timer, rockeaters are generating a bit more gold than they should math-wise.

    But math-wise, rockeaters used to be 50 gold per hand-in.  Now, if they've been done recently, they should be wor…
  • To your edit: I also do not use M&M so I couldn't catch any of that stuff either while I was on.

    Maybe have a group of volunteers who would like to help test things as a small supplement to envoys?  Or make doing it more of a mandator…
  • (Quote) Not in game so I can't see the straw poll, but my thoughts would be: Good idea, maybe too slow on the load aspect.  I would like to see 2-3 loads a week.

    Requires player buy-in on the testing (I know first hand this can be …

  • (Quote) My rate is 4k.  If I see credits under 4k I will buy them.

    ... That has not happened in a very very long time.
  • That is more a matter of balancing rewards which I suspect would be a huge undertaking (not part of this thread, as you say).

    I would appreciate verification of the page turnin if you can do that when the pages respawn, I would like to se…
  • (Quote) Based on what Ianir just said, doing it again when the things reset should net you 1500 gold each (1500 * 1.5 = 2250).

    If that is the case, questing is still consistent, but has a bonus to encourage spreading out to new thi…
  • If comm quests are also impacted that is pretty neat.  I had not considered those.
  • Is the modifier only a positive?  I read it as being like the kill-a-mob thing (where it gets dropped down to a very low level).

    If it is always the base amount it previously was PLUS a variable modifier then my feeling of nerfed quests i…
  • (Quote) It functions by "has anyone at all done it recently," not to the individual.  I think it would be far better tagged to an individual.

    Basically all gold income now fluctuates depending on what someone else has done, …
  • The thing that concerns me the most are high-commodity trades; this change is not really likely to impact commodity pricing (because in many cases that is based around mechanical pricing set by villages).  Things like masterwork weapons and artisan …
  • (Quote) @Phoebus -- I have posted save state ideas in this thread a fair bit, this seems to be the most recent one.
  • (Quote) I must point out that conquest pool power now is not a good determination.

    Let's assume that Serenwilde had an average of 3 villages over a year's time span (I think the average is actually higher than that, there we…
  • 1,000,000,000 guards would not be able to stop the Kingmaker quest.

    Damageshift (with the cage to extend time), pyramid, deepcover is a 100% guarantee to kill Thoril no matter what.  Or you can just YOLO it like a Stealth monk and just do…
  • (Quote) It is neither weird or unintentional.  Roark and I spent a couple of weeks with him tweaking it until it works the way it works now.  There are two checks:
    1) Is the base (unaltered) terrain a natural environment?
    2) Is ther…
  • (Quote) Yes, if you kill Maeve.
  • I would like all those honour lines back that got wiped out and replaced by the "epic quest completion" lines while we're at it.
