The vambrace is a fully unlocked gnomish lockpick bracer that detects traps. The knapsack is a fully unlocked 10-spider bag. The paingrip is 6x with greater elemental fire flares. The plate armors are HDP, 5x and 6x. The spikestar and pike are +33 instead of +28 this time around. The moon axe is +32.

The shop will be open Saturday around noon, and stay open for the duration of the event. The certificates need to be redeemed by September 12, 2016 by 10pm ET, the sooner the better though. We have added the ability to READ the various certificates, so there should be no confusion on those this time.

Nevermind, read the officials.

[Roblar]

Yes.

And certificate are services to existing items. Usually +5 for open and I forget the flat increase but more info here from the last shop sales.

[Jarvan]

Does this mean prices increase as people buy the items?

Also what's this about certificates?

Yes, prices increase as you buy them. by about 10-50%, generally around 25%. So basically.. for the "cheap" stuff.. 1-2 purchases, and it really isn't a good deal anymore.

If anyone buys a UB this time around, they should shoot themselves.

The potions are still horribly priced, and likely wont sell a single one.


The certificates he is referring to are the items in the chest. they have to be redeemed, basically, you have to hand them and the item off to a GM.

[Nazagor]

So what are those 50k scrip armors, eh?

[MrMortimur]

+17 3 slot fusion hcp Naz

[chalion]

the 50k is +17, HCP, 3-slot. The ones from the Mar and Scar.

[Roblar]

3 slot fusion with HCP, probably with an odd enchant

[Nazagor]

Ahh, thank you. Finding this stuff on my phone is tough.

Crazy pricing.

Crazy pricing.

I want to pinch the dorkfaces who escalated TD so high. During RTCF they couldn't GIVE TD away!

[Tylec]

I want to pinch the dorkfaces who escalated TD so high. During RTCF they couldn't GIVE TD away!

Even then, the pricing on it was ridiculous because of the after-cost of it. +10 TD had a cost of another 50m or so to tack onto some basic 7x plate. TD is nice, but it's way overvalued when they set prices. Also, I'm pretty sure 250k isn't inflated, that's what Wyrom set the price at initially.

[SashaFierce]

I would say most/all of the prices are because of the Duskruin Auction prices.

The Double Simucoin shop sale is a good idea, since the High end is the same/high prices this time around.

[gilchristr]

Thanks for the post, sashafierce

[Maerit]

What the hell is the branding iron, and why is it valued at 100k bloodscrip? Does it do something of significant value worth ~80-100mil?

[Amerek]

Am I the only one who doesnt want recycled items and services? They seem really overpriced to boot.

Branding iron sounds like a good item for a field raising cleric.

[SashaFierce]

>>Also, can you explain what a Branding Iron does that is so special to make it worth 100,000 BS?

Whoops, the branding iron actually isn't going to be on sale. Copy/paste fail.

Last time the 'above-heavy' padding and weighting was 10 points on top of heavy, etc? I thought it was not.

No, it was 5 points I think.

Definitely was.

[SashaFierce]

Alright everyone. We have some additions to the High-end Scrip Shop. All of these items are on the long wooden table other than the weapon, which is on the wooden weapon rack.

We added the following x/day items at a base price of 20,000 bloodscrip. Item descriptions will be coming.

Higher Vision/1610 - 4x/day
Premonition/1220 - 2x/day
Zealot/1617 - 3x/day
Crusade/1618 - 3x/day

We added a folded black canvas tent (auction quality) for 50,000 bloodscrip.

We added a colossal drakar greataxe with a circular blade (6x, greater elemental fire flares) for 20,000 bloodscrip.

Pricing for the enchanting potions are now 60,000, 80,000, and 100,000. They have 40 doses in each.

I know there were a lot of suggestions and requests. This will be the final listing.

>>tent?

a folded black canvas tent

a wide black canvas tent flying a crimson pennant

[Champion's Respite]
Made of heavy black canvas, the walls block much of the light and sounds coming from outside. Veniom-enforced steel framework holds the canvas aloft, jointed to allow for quick set up and take down. Plush black furs are spread out across the floor.



Tent looks nice!

[drauz]

I assume those tents would work in Reim... Might have to try and get one.

[Androidpk]

Why is the golvern plate only 5000 points? And what's up with the odd +32 and +33 weapon enchants?

[Androidpk]

They should add an item that turns any non-perfect forged weapon into a perfect.

[Ososis]

I completely disagree with adjusting forged weapons (though I think it happened in the past? or there is a raffle or some jazz? I don't keep up) Your knobbly hands fumbled the hammer and skewed the blade. You did bad, and you should feel bad. Not even the gods can fix this mess you made. :)

But, if it did roll out I would hope it would only give a +1 to the current forge quality, max of 1 per weapon ever. I sure as shit don't think all the elegant abominations deserve to be made into perfects.

I think it's less to do with forging for current weapons and more to do with the almost decades of weapons prior to perfect forging effects that they would be inquiring about. And I don't see why this couldn't be a thing, at this point that's like the only thing that can't be added and if it's only from a highly specialized merchant it's not going to break or cripple current forging markets.

Like adding forging bonus to non forged weapons? I thought they meant upping an elegant forge to a superior forge to a perfect forge.

[Enuch]

They may be, my initial thought was adding the forging quality to an item that had been created prior to the days of forging. They could mean what you say though, I just assumed it was for old items that never had the chance

How long would it take to make 50000 script?

[Maerit]

How long would it take to make 50000 script?

Depends on your methods. Having say 4 monitors setup with 4 accounts doing scripted sewer runs, maybe a dozen hours (expect to answer script checks!). Doing arena on a single character, maybe twenty hours. The first method will cost you 2-3x as much as the second method.

[Neovik1]

So for the arena what's the strategy in there now? Last time I ran it I had to run the background watch script while I did my regular fighting. I had to constantly use haste though in order to come out with decent bloodscrip.

Going in this round I can now mstrike a target multiple times which will help.

The strategy is to be a sorcerer with a lot of enhancives, or be an ultra-capped anything else.

The strategy there hasn't really changed. Watch the traps, do the thing, kill the things. Profit.

Is there any strategy to avoiding traps? I assume being as unencumbered as possible is always good.

Words have never been so much more true !!

[Jhynnifer]

I don't use arenawatch (though it's pretty cool) but since I lost all of my aliases in the Great Windows 10 Disaster I might just break down. But really you can just WATCH <CREATURE> and do whatever they say. It's great until you're in the heat of spamming that KILL CREATURE command and there's scrolly-scroll everywhere and you miss the reset for it. Then it all goes to pot and you don't realize it until they hand you 235 scrip. =(

Yeah, I just had some corruption in the latest anniversary patch. Had to create a new profile, which unfortunately wiped out my WFE settings, some highlights, and 2 years worth of logs... Most of my lich stuff was in tact though.

I ignored the warnings about the update and within a day of it finally happening my computer started running really slowly, booting up took 10 minutes and eventually it stopped booting up at all. Apparently Windows 10 doesn't like RAID hard drive configurations and decided I needed to completely reformat instead. I got my portfolio off, which was HUGE since it has my website and all my work and the backup is a smidge wonky lately, but I lost everything else.

>>Not sure if this has been answered but what are the exact properties of this climate cloak? Thrilled ya added one but I was hoping for the cheaper old one. Not sure I want to farm that much scrip.

It's fully unlocked with feature-hiding ability and as deep as it can get and lighter than you can ever get done!
