  • (Quote) The 2.5s balance is due to a level 6/7 BODYSCAN AGILITY bonus (we mathed that out last night).

    I thought you were there, actually?  Maybe I am misremembering.  Even so, 3s * .82 (18% bonus, level 6 agility) = 2.46s.  Stealt…
  • (Quote) Nope, they don't (intentionally, per the announce post regarding aethergears).

    In fact, when they were first implemented they did actually follow that rule (despite what they were stated to do) and were fixed a few hours la…
  • Theoretically the artifact overhaul that was hinted about as a new feature potentially coming this year will help with a number of these issues.  Right now everything is bound up in help files or specific commands, but if it was all accessible via a…
  • There is, in fact, a reason why pieces can only be traded for pieces.

    Once upon a time there was no such requirement.  You could also rub curio pieces down and get Wheel coins out of them.  This meant that you could transfer bound credits…
  • A new God came to the Basin, completely covered in wrappings.  We RP'd for a couple days with him.

    Then he took off the wrappings and it was me.  in Craziest Day Comment by Xenthos January 2017
  • (Quote) That's how!  Presents / the wheel are not affected by the cap.  Other forms of generation are, and include:
    Cap-affected
    1) Genies
    2) Ur'traps
    3) Rubbing curio pieces
    4) Treasure maps?  I forget if they were c…
  • While you're at it, include other throttles (like the essence throttle).  Goop is a hard throttle (have you hit 50 y/n) whereas gold and essence are soft (the throttle ramps up the higher you get) and it would be nice to see these numbers.
  • (Quote) Crux is supposed to be IC, it's an alliance clan for communication and organization (not really a "everyone talk about systems" clan).  I think most orgs have a clan for more explicitly mechanics-related things, no?
  • (Quote) I was replying to the level 80 thing! :p
  • (Quote) Refresh Me would be nice, too.  "I don't want to feel tired / hungry / hurt, so I won't!"
  • (Quote) That is not what Stratas said.  He is simply saying that one half of the text returned ignores the favour (the percent) and the other half respects it (the rank).  Not sure if that is the case since I have never tested it, but his pos…
  • Aside from orcs deciding to run away from me, I enjoyed helping them shed their oppression.  Thank you for the area and the assistance in working through the kinks! 
  • Do other games have "free" artifacts (here they are expressed as quest curios)?

    Note: "Free" meaning that you get to invest a great deal of time in hunting them down.  They also have a bonus in that you can then sell them for actual credi…
  • (Quote) That does make deciding just a teeny bit easier, yes.
  • (Quote) Teams win / place instead of individuals, and everyone on the team gets a placing reward (so there are more prizes available, 3x for each tier level).  The main difference is that the winning team has two credit prizes and the Seal pr…
  • (Quote) Once upon a time they were the same thing.

    The administration decided to give OOC-stuff a different name a few years back so that we could actually differentiate between the two.  It's why a lot of us older folk still refer…
  • I strongly feel that some artifacts are incredibly overpriced and/or their effects are quite underwhelming.  The glamrock fits perfectly into the "both" juncture.  It would make sense to adjust some prices-- if the value is more appropriate to the e…
