  • On today's episode of Portius is bad at questing, he has no idea how to procure new hosts for the slivven parasites.

    Would appreciate information on the start point and any quirks that I have to watch out for.
  • I have no idea why I had to pull this out of cltells. This should've been posted when he said it.

    (A clan. You know the one.): Zitto said: "Zitto and Portius basically just stand in the Hidden Library shouting the Trill equivalent to 'Cro…
  • Glamrock- I don't think it's worth it for as long as it resets. Since I have to have all of the items anyway, assuming that I don't care what I look like while bashing/fighting I can just pay someone way less credits to write me a script to switch b…
  • Add another ten or so titles for prestige wins on the HONORS.
  • Just published the last of the main vassal pack books. Finally. Not ruling out doing little things on the topics, but all the planned structural/overview books are finally out. This pleases me greatly.
  • Can I get a permanent unenemying with amnesty, or do I have to parley with gold?

    How much should I be expecting to pay to get unenemied from the figurines on Bottledowns and the candies on Crumkindivia?
  • So, today I was thinking that having a combat-capable bodyguard would be cool and figured that a custom beast would be the way to do that. To my dismay, humanoid beasts are explicitly forbidden. This displeases me, so I present two options that woul…
  • I'd like to rave for people selling vernal pieces and for Hallifax paying enough library credits that writing books instead of grinding pieces is a reasonable decision.
  • Gnomes: Facility, Bottledowns, Frosticia, Crumkindivia

    Gnafia: Facility, Cankermore, Mucklemarsh, Dramube

    Note that neither provide access to Xion, and that both link to Facility.

    As I recall they aren't proper bubbl…
  • I have not had this specific problem, but since you mentioned using a word document I'm going to give my standard advice. Use Notepad, do everything in text files. This will usually fix most problems.
  • That article made me make several angry noises.
  • Bulk discount would be good for people who are alting and know that they're eventually going to be in a ridiculous number of cartels.
  • I'm still looking for the geomancer staff/magnum descriptions. Actually, all mage weapon descriptions would be appreciated if people want to share.
  • That irritating moment when you find an article on Jstor that's exactly what you're looking for but your school doesn't have a subscription to that journal. What am I even giving these people tuition for?
  • Looks like additional styles on the side does other colors.
  • Different type of wyvern, I think? These ones are coming from the new firedancer quest, right?
  • The TATTOOS command for it told me that I couldn't because it was covered. If there's a different command that can accomplish that, I don't know it.
  • (Quote) Then thank you, Shaddus. I don't suppose you made any other soulless tattoos? I don't have the list on my right now to check.
  • Gnomish somethingclever:

    Cheap artifact to make one tattoo visible through clothing. Can be toggled on or off, but not changed to a different tattoo once set.
  • I would just like to come out and thank whoever designed that tattoo of Kethuru. I love it so much. I only wish it could be visible through my robes.
  • (Quote) I usually ask someone who was around for the release event or who already asked someone who was. @Kiradawea or in Dirty player secrets Comment by Portius March 2015
  • I present Hallifax, early today. I did not save 100% of it, but I think I have most of the funny.

    (Bro,): Zitto (from the Water Elemental Plane) says, "Portius, given your love of all things Greco-Roman, you are being renamed 'Brosidion, …
  • Or if they want it to cost comms, turn splendours/greatrobes into Splendourpatch and Greatnesspatch, each costing X commodities and making a thing you can sew onto anything to turn them into splendours/greatrobes.

    EDIT: Or even just turn …
  • I wish we could SEW X AS SPLENDOUR/GREATROBE and be able to walk around in a splendour toga. I don't see much of a reason to restrict it to just robes, suits, and gowns.
  • Personally, I've always argued in favor of hooking up a few regeneration gems, harvesting his fat as it regenerates, and rendering it down into oil for power. But that's just me.
  • I just pulled the ones that had really great puns in the YIR specifically.

    But here is the one on Talan's book:

    Trade Minister Talan Ysav'rai made her own contribution to the war
    effort with "Arabella Arthar'rt." This amu…
  • Because I hadn't realized it was up!

    The highlight reel, for you silly foreigners:

    "Lord Portius landed the first blow in this battle, with a short story
    called 'The Aslaran Who Couldn't Roar.' Afflicted by some aberration…
  • Sword would fit Hallifax just fine. One suit for each of the major castes (Artists, Scientists, Soldiers, Bureaucracy) and pretend that the tiny merchant caste doesn't exist and that the laborers are too low status to get a suit to themselves.
  • I would like to rave that the people handling issues and support have been really fast tonight. I like it.
  • Because spitballing ideas is more interesting than staring at the screen waiting for a node to go down, here's what I'd do for the building the altar final quest.

    -Dedicate the location. Probably do this by talking with city patrons OOCly…
