Plotting and planning is lots of fun. Looking forward to seeing how things play out! Stay tuned.

Tangent but. So once upon a time Sylandra got hit on by NPC Max Coldsteel of the Gnafia who called her "turkey" and said he was looking for a new Mrs. Coldsteel because the last one was "on ice."

And all I can think now as I read and see the exploits of @Gurashi and Duathielle is, "Man, I missed my opportunity for indulgent Sylandra x Coldsteel fanart, and possibly a star-crossed romance with a gnomish crime syndicate."

Just wait until you meet Hethklyff and Caithryn, @Maligorn.

1) My inventory is a graveyard of many events. 
2) I'll eat the food and keep the paintings etc in a special purse for future plots.

@Uzriel
1) Can SAY TO at the mob. May not get an immediate answer if nobody spots it, or they might need to think about it. Everything we say as mobs is considered lore so we don't do that willy-nilly. Alternatively, depending on the org, can message one of the patrons asking how to go about it. I had letters sent to npcs sent to me before for example.

I feel like the issue there is more that demigod has become the status quo because of how fast some methods are, instead of it being an actual achievement. As much as I'd like to see some of the stuff like large astral bashes brought down to a reasonable level of exp gain, I don't think they can without alienating newer players who would have to actually put in effort, when so many existing players have had demigod handed to them. 


Edit: Wanted to add that there's not really any content locked behind being max level, other than some small utility/flavor powers right now, and holding domoths. From around level 80+ you can effectively participate in nearly every aspect of the game, including pvp.

I feel like this isn't a wholly endgame thing, off hand discord comments I've seen indicates getting to 100 in the first place is still a struggle for solo players.

It's not really a struggle. Though Lusternia is worse (bashing-wise) than other games, if only because there's so many places you get enemied to if you attack the mobs. Influencing is still breezy to 100, that said astralbashing is still by far without parallel if there's a big group going.

Struggle is a relative term in the end.

For me, bashing and influencing are relatively monotonous activities where the solo gains feel too slow.
That then leads to frustration and disengagement because there are other games I can play where the progression pace is faster, or at least feels like it is.
So the struggle is in maintaining the motivation to keep going with it.

Some people don't notice it as much, others do. A solution that's not just "endgame" helps those who might otherwise disengage before demigod while still also helping at "endgame", and it's unlikely to really impact other players.

Meanwhile I’ve been waiting since Thursday evening and now all weekend for my Mag rebranded hot toddy to get approved.

In my experience, this means you done goofed.

I have been doing a lot of self indulgent art last night/this morning, but this is the most important one:
