Random GS

[thefarmer]

We have a random thread in the socializing folder, but I figured a GS only one would be ok

[thefarmer]

So.. to start it off.

Are people that lazy that they'd spend hour upon hour asking for a specific gem? Wouldn't it be better to either a) hunt for it or b) get a new task?

And in the same token are people that cheap that they would spend an hour asking for a picker instead of going to Larton?

[The Ponzzz]

Playing plat, I pretty much only use NPCs for everything. It's mostly by choice now, because we do have people that will heal,pick, etc, but it became a habit when I'd play during these hours.

I think people just need to have a refresher course on the use of town NPC services.

As for the whole gem thing, I don't get why people just don't use the 15 minute logic rule. If a task takes you longer than 15 minutes, it is NEVER worth the trouble. However, there are some exception to this rule. If you're ALMOST done or think you're almost done, then going over the 15 minute rule is acceptable. If you're going for a certain title, then that also can be accepted.

[The Ponzzz]

What I wanna know is when did the word tip become the word fee?

And what exactly is the verb bounce? Like what is that action? Is it like a god damn happy version of a mosh pit?

[thefarmer]

When silvergate started being the place to take your strippers/hookers for cybering... so 97-98?

Same action as that gif with the girl bouncing her big knockers all over the place.

[Sweets]

God damn happy version of a mosh pit?

That one got a chuckle out of me. I had a fun experience talking to a gal the other night. She just finished making a big deal out loud in town central about how funny the "gods" were(announcing the emergency maintenance). She then started whispering ooc how she hated when people brought up stats on a item when selling it. She started doing that "What is 4x?" "What does hcp mean?" Hehehe. She then sasheyed out of the room. Well I guess she has some standards.

I hate it when people call the GM's gods.

I am that cheap. and i don't always have the patience or the inclination(sic<?>) to spend hours trying to farm gems. and boxes. Unfortunately, the gems they want me to find are also used in alchemy, goddamn it.

but the lure of 850 BPs and 1000 XP are very great, though.

So by extension, if somebody were to set up a bot picker in plat, would that be okay? Basically the same as Larton, but the xp isn't wasted. And it's cheaper.

[Fallen]

I hate instruments, and audience reps. This isn't very random.

[Izzy]

I hate when I type boun trying to check up on bounties and I end up bouncing around.

This is why I psinet alias dumb fucking verbs like bounce (and the shorthand versions like boun) to something not dumb. boun = bounty != bounce

Another key one is when I try to "go (b-word)" and it comes out gob. Then I gobble like a tool. Thus, gob = go b\r.

PS: No, I don't gobble tools.

OMFG, I'm so fucking stupid....I PSINET ALIAS things like GRIP so that I don't convert my old style bastard swords, and I don't think to use it to not bounce!!!! Wow, I'm a fucking moron.

For YEARS I kept typing in WEALTH then DEPOSIT #. I even tried to write a script to deposit amounts until I had less then 160 or so. Then a friend told me about DEPOSIT ALL.

Sometimes you end up losing money by using the NPC locksmith, so it's not really a matter of being cheap.

I use the NPC anyway though, because once in a while I come out ahead.

Yeah if the npc gives me a huge rate I'll hold onto it to be picked since it probably has an item in it, but under 5k I usually average out to 50% of the box's cost to get it picked.

It's useful in Vaalor and RR where about 5 rogues can open the top-level boxes.

The price is based on the lock and trap difficulty and I'm pretty sure has nothing to do with the contents of the box.

I've blown 6k getting a box opened that had 1k coins and a shit gem like a clear zircon before.

[droit]

It has a lot to do with the content of the box, actually. I bet you that 90% of the boxes that cost you over 4k to open have a diamond quality gem or more in them.

[Methais]

I dunno. I've paid shitloads to get boxes opened that had nothing worth a shit in them, and I've paid almost nothing to get boxes open that have 10-15k worth of stuff in it.

[Gnomad]

It'll take notes out of your pockets, for better or for worse. Just so you know.

If I lose silvers on a box, it's usually on the order of a few hundred, and that's only on cheap boxes.

[Ignot]

They should have it so when you log into the game it displays a "verb of the day" or something.

[Methais]

I'll try to remember to start keeping track of NPC cost vs. box rewards and post them.

I'll probably forget though, so you can probably forget I even posted this.

[Belnia]

15. Found "As you rub your brigandine, a scintillating black aura engulfs you. You realize too late that something is terribly amiss." 108 times.
16. Found "As you rub your brigandine, a scintillating purple aura engulfs you." 384 times.

I fucking hate 22% failure rate on an "auction quality" item, that already takes double mana. I should have stuck with glass amulets.

[TheLastShamurai]

i was sitting in the landing well once and watched someone jump out of the tree a few times.

the third time they did it they flew into the well and snapped their neck.

probably the single funniest thing i've seen happen in GS.

[The Ponzzz]

As someone who uses the NPC locksmith 99% of the time, I can promise you that the majority of the cost on box opening is due to content. Boxes that cost 5k+ to open usually have something decent inside it, whether an orb/rechargible gem or a box found item. Trap size also plays a part, however, in my testing, disarming the trap plays no factor in the cost changing.

I generally go into the NPC with about 15k coins on me per 14 boxes, and usually end up with 0 coins at the end of it, not including any box found items. So essentially, I have a net loss when I find boxes. With warcamps, you always chance it for items, but after going back to Nelemar, I can pull 70 boxes and not find a thing, and it is starting to cost me.

[Some Rogue]

The contents most defintely do have an effect on how much is charged. You really see this on lower level boxes. On my level 30ish characters, if they are being charged 5k+ to get a box open, it has an enhancive or nice gems in it.

Of course, this has all been gone over before. :P

[Methais]

Apparently the system breaks down at higher levels then, judging by being charged 6k to open a box with maybe 2k worth of stuff in it half the time.

[The Ponzzz]

I dunno, my data is only at cap using Nelemar and warcamp boxes. I bet is you're finding a lot of orb gems that are cheap.

[Methais]

I dunno, my data is only at cap using Nelemar and warcamp boxes. I bet is you're finding a lot of orb gems that are cheap.

I never really used the NPC locksmith until I started hunting Nelemar, so yeah all my stuff is based on Nelemar boxes.

[The Ponzzz]

I bet Nelemar is rough off in Prime though. In Platinum, it's an area about 3-5 of us go to (out of about 12 capped players)

[thefarmer]

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the drakar lance in your hand...

The harmonics generated tell you that the lance has been infused with the power of a fire elemental.

The lance resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus of 2 to Sorcerous Lore - Demonology Ranks.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 10 times.
The lance looks to have a huge number of charges remaining.

You sense that the drakar lance will persist after its last enhancive charge has been expended.

Wow, do I feel odd having known about "depo all" for the past five years I've been playing. WTH...

[droit]

I've known about depo all for years and years, but the thing that really alleviated my banking woes was when I finally adopted psinet and aliased "withdraw" to "wd". For some reason, withdraw is incredibly difficult for me to type quickly, so I'd be standing there making typos for what seemed like minutes (but I'm sure was under 3 seconds)

[Celephais]

Yeah... I'm pretty sure I learned about deposit all before I figured out deeds... isn't there a sign in there that explains it?

[Stanley Burrell]

What's the point of the mychar verb anyway?

1) It makes it seem like you're playing the game more to your own personal catering.

2) It's a good way to lick the nearby anuses of GM-controlled merchants when you need RPAs too. I think they pick up on MYCHAR THINKS as well.

[thefarmer]

Something gets sold for 8m in an auction.

Turns out the item needs at least a fair amount of MIU, so the auction is reposted at the 4m MB (which is started out as, if I remember right).

No bids.

Item is reposted with a lower MB of 3M.

After a day or two of nothing, I email the owner and say I'll buy it for 3M, no bidding.

She responds with: "I'm not willing to sell it for 3m, as a flat price. I plan on doing some more research, into exactly how much MIU is needed, and then reposting. If at that point there still isn't interest, perhaps I will then lower the BO."

My response: You're turning down an offer that meets your MB because you're unwilling to.. let it go for your MB? I wish you luck on your continual reposting. Perhaps you'll get a bid soon.

....

[The Ponzzz]

I'd never do business with that person again. They clearly lack any sense of what a MB is.

[thefarmer]

I've already interacted with her several times and come away with the impression that she's an utter idiot. Asking around the people I know, I'm not the only one that feels this way.

I figured that if anything, getting coins for stuff would help her make an intelligent decision. Stupid of me to give her the chance to prove she has some common sense. I learned my mistake.

[Kitsun]

Well you offered her MB as a BO. I would not to accept that either.

[thefarmer]

I offered her 3m.

It equaled her lowered MB. After almost two weeks. And a further lowered MB. And plenty of people seeing it.

Had she just posted it up? Sure, I wouldn't either. Had she not have to lower her MB? Possibly. In that specific case, I think it was foolish of her.

It is a "common" drop, in that it wasn't intentionally put there. There are a few types of tradebars, and my favorite of rare-drop treasure items, different types of petrified wood. They aren't worth much of anything, really, but I find them pretty.

This intersection links the bazaar routes with those bisecting and encircling the Landing.

A shaky wooden stairway, the bane of many an overimbiber's existence, leads up to the tavern door. You also see a pretty flower girl and a dwarven recruiter that is lying down.

Clearly the dirty dwarf recruiter is looking up the pretty flower girl's dress in an attempt to see if she's worth folding into his stable of other street girls

Estild is open to suggestions for improving the lore. If this is the case and he is willing to look at spells outside of the empath circle I can definitely see this as grounds for improving the hell out of a few spells.

It was a mistake that the prestige points ever made it into the game; it's a mistake that I'd like to see fixed.

I think this would not be a very good change. Currently, the only incentive for Masters to continue hunting in a camp is PP. I know I most certainly would stop camping if I weren't getting more PP, and I'm sure there are others like that, as well.

All I've ever cared about was video games and they made me a millionaire. So maybe I don't know what the Civil War was, or who invented the helicopter even though I own one, but I did beat The Legend of Zelda before I could walk. I'm thinking about getting metal legs.

For YEARS I kept typing in WEALTH then DEPOSIT #. I even tried to write a script to deposit amounts until I had less then 160 or so. Then a friend told me about DEPOSIT ALL.

When did they add this? I always typed "info" "depo ###" a person told me not to use wealth in tssw because thieves then knew you had either no coins, or had coins in your pockets.

[diethx]

I always use INFO instead of SILVER to check how many silvers I have on me, out of habit. Unless of course I need to check town debt.

But yeah, i've been using deposit all for years.

[Celephais]

Don't any of you people read signs? It's been on the sign in the landing bank forever.

To deposit silvers: DEPOSIT {amount}
To deposit a bank note: DEPOSIT NOTE
To deposit everything: DEPOSIT ALL
To check your balance: CHECK BALANCE
To withdraw money: WITHDRAW {amount} [SILVERS | NOTE]

[Khariz]

When did they add this? I always typed "info" "depo ###" a person told me not to use wealth in tssw because thieves then knew you had either no coins, or had coins in your pockets.

It's been like this since at least the early 2000's. I've been using it since 2003 myself.

>alteration guidelines
ALTER 16: Armor
Armor cannot be altered to resemble normal clothing like gowns, bodices, nightgowns, shirts, pants, etc. Simply put, armor is armor and should look heavy enough to do its job.


Leg Coverage
There are a wide variety of accessories which may provide leg coverage. Strictly speaking, the material used to create a leg armor does not affect an adventurer's statistics. Adventurers may find leg coverage in the form of leg greaves, and coudieres, among others. Base DU/ST is 200/25.
http://www.play.net/gs4/info/armory/armoraccessories.asp#legcoverage


So what ARE approved nouns for leg armor pieces? Not only was I in the dark (no help on the website), but the merchant was too (no help from HIS guidelines).

I really think situations like this would be greatly helped if a more concise alter approval list was posted publicly by staff.

-farmer

[DoctorUnne]

I have leg guards. And I added flares to them with premium points so I assume that means it is an acceptable noun, although I don't know for sure. I don't like the word greaves either.

>put ass in my pants
You can't seem to find a way to put a primitive lock assembly in some fitted brown doeskin pants back-laced down from the knees.

Damnit. Time to go on a diet.

[Kitsun]

Laphrael, were you the one with the heel dagger? Did they make you change it?

[Danical]

It is a "common" drop, in that it wasn't intentionally put there. There are a few types of tradebars, and my favorite of rare-drop treasure items, different types of petrified wood. They aren't worth much of anything, really, but I find them pretty.

I have a large platinum trade bar in my locker that's worth quite a bit.

I also like the "Large" gems that pop out sometimes that are worth like 20k.

Hopefully the new 110 area has a shitload of "large" gems and tradebars.

Tradebars are also awesome in that they weigh < 2 or ~ 2. I can't remember.

I've never seen a large gem, and wouldn't think that is a normal treasure system drop. I think those might just be GM drops. I could be wrong on this, though.

[LadyLaphrael]

Laphrael, were you the one with the heel dagger? Did they make you change it?

The broken-off ebon satin shoe stiletto? Yeah, unfortunately that got tagged and had to be changed. As I mentioned on the officials, Scribes wouldn't let me go until we had something I liked, and in the end, I got a something just as close done that still gets to the same effect...and (more importantly) fits with QC standards.

It was a shame, I was a little annoyed, but in the end it's a 0x dagger that's purely an RP toy...and I still walked away happy.

[Danical]

I've never seen a large gem, and wouldn't think that is a normal treasure system drop. I think those might just be GM drops. I could be wrong on this, though.

I know I've seen one (I thought Kitsun found one) but they are by no means common.

FFS, I've seen more magic metal claids pop out of the Treasure Generator than fucking tradebars or large gems. WTF is that all about?

More creatures gen with weapons than realm specific gems.

[Danical]

Right, but still, MAGICAL CLAIDS?!?!1

Those suckers sell for 10+ mil. A large gem gets you 20k. Hurray?!

[LadyLaphrael]

Right, but still, MAGICAL CLAIDS?!?!1

Those suckers sell for 10+ mil. A large gem gets you 20k. Hurray?!

But magical claids aren't introducing NEW silvers into the game. They'll worry about balancing the magical claid population later on, I'm sure. Besides, it gives all the warriors a chance to see how fucktastically crit-weighted all these new toys are.

[Kitsun]

I know I've seen one (I thought Kitsun found one) but they are by no means common.

I've got like a large crystal amulet and maybe one white or black crystal. I don't ever remember finding a large gem.


This is the extent of my tradebar collection after about 8 years.
1 item matching "a platinum tradebar" was moved.
1 item matching "a bronze tradebar" was moved.
1 item matching "a large platinum tradebar" was moved.

[Swami71]

In denial that she's wrong.

[Fallen]

I would say OTF is the worst area for a warrior to try to hunt with limited spells. No way to control the incoming attacks. The Temple is likely the best. A good mix of non-casters, and the casters that are there aren't going to be fading in from invisibility. Yeah, you may still get cast at but it is far more controllable.

If I was a warrior I would be using PEER a lot.

[Kitsun]

I prefer the happy-I-r-strong warriors to the bitchy, whiny ones.

Or alternatively, instead of instigating an argument, maybe next time you could try just letting her be happy playing a warrior. Do you really thrive that much on being antagonistic?

[thefarmer]

Do you thrive on dinosaurs?

Probably not.

Why?

Because I'm bored.

[Danical]

Warriors will always have a problem in OTF because of the fade and crystal weapons mechanics.

Nelemar is easily their best bet at cap.

I'd say they are probably best able to handle the Bowels too but that's debatable.

The only problem with this is that she wasn't expressing an opinion or expressing her feelings of happiness with being a warrior. She made a statement that basically stated an incorrect fact. I would've corrected her too in a situation like that.

I'm not sure how you can get 'I like to play my warrior' from what she said, but even going with that, my reply of: "Warriors aren't on easy street" and "They die just like the did before.. to CS spells" doesn't do anything towards saying she shouldn't have fun (with the warrior you assume she plays) or that her enjoyment is wrong.

It takes two to have an argument or discussion. The fact she continued to reply to me seems to indicate that she's willing to continue the argument/discussion.


Honestly, I like you, but can you really give me an example of a time when you saw something on OOC you thought might be wrong and didn't start an argument about it?

I'm usually logged in for several hours at a time doing this or that. There have been plenty of discussions, conversations and arguments on OOC that I've watched and said nothing. Opinions that I thought were stupid, or uninformed or whathaveyou I generally let pass by. GS comments/questions of a mechanics nature I tend to pay more attention to and will usually respond if I'm bored enough or know the right answer.

Do I always do this? No, not always. Sometimes I don't know positively my thoughts are correct. Sometimes I don't want to make the effort to type anything.

Sidenote: I'm not sure how you can question why I bothered to reply to her 'one comment' when you did the same.... STOP INSTIGATING ARGUMENTS WESLEY!

>> Well, I definitely think corsets are appropriate as outer garments, but I can't make that call. It seems that GMs have taken the stance that corsets are underwear, so in following that mindset, I'm hoping that they will be assigned a more appropriate slot that would be compatible with armor-worn items as well.

Corsets here are over-garments, but they should be under armor. It would looks bit silly to be wearing a corset over full plate! In our world, a corset serves the same purpose that a bodice would over a gown or shirt, a la Renn faires. They cinche and give more shape to the form.

Whoa... nothing like being a little late to the party on that post, huh? I didn't even see the date, just recalled the recent conversation I had with Debia about her corset.

Since we had a no undergarments nor an appropriate slot for them, when corsets were first created, they were released with the understanding that they were actually designed to be more decorative outer wear and bustier-like. A la Madonna.

Why, back in my day, the only spells we wore in the Bowels were Elemental Saturation, Sounds and Curse, we used arrows for daggers--and we liked it!

Srsly, though. That's a lot of spells.

Ha, made my Sunday back in the day when I was like 15, 16 whatever. I couldn't believe it scrolled a little ascii thing plus I got two cool drinks because both hands were empty. Is this a more recent mass drinks? I think I see at least one of those names in the game sometimes now.

[BriarFox]

Heh. That's more spells that I wear in when I'm pwning a warcamp. But then, I like warcamping better than the Bowels - frickin' place.

Okay, I'm coming clean. It was ME who got you all killed that one Wavedancer run out digging in the wastes. Me! It wasn't any GM! I sancted and the sand elemental PWNd everyone.

[Dark Cavern, Opening]
The ground opens up into a large, airy chamber, each pale stone dusted with glittering sand. Striations in the rock resemble ribbons of essence, and faint rhythmic hums rumble throught the area every so often. You also see a massive raging sandstorm, a plains panther and a crumbling wall of sandstone.

Odd. I was at that event but I do not seem my name in there.

Replace 102 with 1617, sprinkle in casts of 117 and that's what I can do if I make the effort.

In a pinch I can add 425/140 via item for maximum tankage.

[Adventurers' Rest, Deck]
The deck is bordered by neatly trimmed evergreen hedges, a miniature forest even in the midst of town. There are some chairs set in cozy groupings, and baskets of flowers swaying from the eaves of the Rest. Tall iron posts on either side of some swinging doors support glowing lanterns. You also see the Gnimble disk and an ivy-covered iron barrel.
Also here: Mikoguchi, Gnimble

[Adventurers' Rest, Bar]
Gleaming mistwood stools are grouped against the long sturdy bar. The stools, and even sections of the bar itself, vary in height to accommodate everyone from giantman to halfling comfortably. You also see some swinging doors and the barmaid Shorga.

Going thru my bazillion+ scrolls (how do you think I can tank like a sorcerer?) and sorting out the junk and good ones I came across these.

I know some are junk, but I like collecting the odd-looking ones (even the scroll-cutter ones sometimes) and less common spells. I probably need to get the lock/unlock/charge status on these come to think of it...

Looks like you're a collector of the arcane circle as well, Farmer, but if you decide to part with some of those 800 circle scrolls let me know. I am interested in a few. There was also a couple other scrolls in that batch you had I am interested in as well.

[Spider Temple, Central Chamber]
The flickering, shifting light of candles fills this imposing central chamber with moving shadows. Overhead a web-patterned tracery of red glaes supports the high domed ceiling, which rises tens of feet over the altar that lies at the center of the chamber. Candle sconces flank each of the doors that lead to the "legs" of this shrine to the spider goddess. Your eyes are drawn to the grotesque arrangement of inlaid floor tiles which depict scenes of death by poison. You also see a mammoth arachnid, a reinforced shield, a short sword, a short sword, a reinforced shield, a scimitar, a black basalt arch, a bejeweled door and a modwir door.

Anyone able to make light of why this item is singing as a "holy item"? (This is the loresong results from my bard, who is level 22...)
-
You sing in Guildspeak:
"Necklace in my hands
What is your value in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the star sapphire necklace in your hand, and you learn something about it...
This is a small item, under a pound. In your best estimation, it's worth about 20,000 silvers.

You sing in Guildspeak:
"Necklace in my hands
What is your purpose in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the star sapphire necklace in your hand, and you learn something about it...
You sense a faint aura of magic around the star sapphire necklace. You sense that this is some type of holy item. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the necklace is to cast a spell or perform some magical purpose.

You sing in Guildspeak:
"Necklace in my hands
What is your magic in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the star sapphire necklace in your hand...
This is a magical item, which casts spells from the Spirit sphere. It has 6 charges.

You sing in Guildspeak:
"Necklace in my hands
What is your special ability in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the star sapphire necklace in your hand...
You sense that the star sapphire necklace will disintegrate after its last magical charge has been expended.

spirit spell embeds always sing as holy. Doesn't mean anything.
Um, no? (Sang to this baton right after the necklace...)

You sing in Guildspeak:
"Baton in my hands
What is your value in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the copper alloy baton in your hand, and you learn something about it...
The first thing that strikes you about the baton is the weight, which is about 2 pounds. In your best estimation, it's worth about 5,000 silvers. You can also tell that there is some type of metal in the structure of the copper alloy baton.

You sing in Guildspeak:
"Baton in my hands
What is your purpose in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the copper alloy baton in your hand, and you learn something about it...
You sense a faint aura of magic around the copper alloy baton. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the baton is to cast a spell or perform some magical purpose.

You sing in Guildspeak:
"Baton in my hands
What is your magic in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the copper alloy baton in your hand...
This is a tappable item, which casts spells from the Spirit sphere. It has a few charges.

You sing in Guildspeak:
"Baton in my hands
What is your special ability in these lands?"

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the copper alloy baton in your hand...
The copper alloy baton contains the spell Spirit Warding I, from the Minor Spiritual circle.
You sense that the copper alloy baton will persist after its last magical charge has been expended.
-
Could it be because it's a spirit spell from the Cleric or Paladin circle(s), versus MnS or MjS?

[thefarmer]

Er... Yeah. cleric/paladin spell. My bad. I always say spirit for those spells, despite using it incorrectly.

As interest in these potions wane, I will set the bar low and see where it ends up. I'm based in Illistim, and have FWI for delivery. The auction will be, Once, Twice, Sold. It will be updated once daily. Also entertaining buyout offers if any are interested.

[Wehnimer's, Outside Gate]
Citizens, merchants and assorted dregs of society jostle against you before the great wooden gates of Wehnimer's Landing. Harried guards and militiamen try to keep the chaos to a minimum, but it is hard to keep track of those entering, let alone leaving, this large trading post. A dirt path encircling the wooden palisade of the town leads east and southwest. Nailed prominently to the wooden wall beside the gate is a sign you really should read. You also see a floating fiery red eye that is flying around, a big-lipped warty hill giant that is lying down, a white flask, a massive wheeled tower and a Wayside Inn.

[Wehnimer's, Land's End Rd.]
Vigilant night guardsmen scrutinize the citizens and travelers arriving and departing through the wide gateway spanning the land route into Wehnimer's Landing. The cluttered streets of the city to the south are a far cry from the deceptively calm expanse of the wilds of Elanith outside. Two daunting towers survey the countryside and protect the town, flanking the road to the east and west. You also see a touchy ocean spirit that is flying around, the Meezid disk, a slimy green frog, a shadow-encased figure, a plump field mouse and a wooden barrel.
Also here: the body of High Lord Deron who is lying down, Meezid, Aylak, Currin, Rhylie, Ryador, Kupaka, High Lord Svardin, Novur, Savrenzius, High Lady Maurora, Yollia, Protector Aydan, Procerus, the body of Adyr who is lying down, Syndis

[Donquix]

Coup is pretty amazing, I love the messaging and mechanically it's great too. One of, if not my absolute, favorite skills in the game.

Especially fun as a warrior, if I pop every ability I have (society, a massive coup kill, surge, crowd press (small weapon twc), surge, and berserk....you can get some insane AS going for a short while.

[DoctorUnne]

Coup is one of the if not the most underrated cman in the game. Great for group hunting since you can just hold back and wait for others in your group to stun and do the damage and then you just finish it off and give everyone the AS bonus. Especially useful in camps. And the highest bonus remains as long as you keep it going, meaning if you get a +40 AS bonus on your first coup, all you have to do is one more coup every minute to keep the +40 group AS indefinitely. If only it were cheaper in stamina cost.

[droit]

If I could learn coup, I'd do so in an instant.

[Stunseed]

If I could learn coup, I'd do so in an instant.

Seconded.

You are wearing a dusty wide-brimmed hat, a pair of quicksilver-framed yellow-tinted spectacles, a scratched silvery vaalorn star, a small turnip-clasped neckpouch, a patched canvas longcoat, a simple ironwood and silver turnip charm, a turnip-topped carved willow stickpin, a furry brown goat pin, a dusty farmer's satchel slung over your shoulder, a dusty equipment harness with a golvern alloy-edged shovel strapped to it, a frayed sleeveless work shirt, a disheveled cotton jerkin, a vaalorn infinity knot wristband, some faded tan overalls, a turnip-shaped canvas sheath, and some dusty canvas workboots.
You have a wickedly curved silvery ora crescent dagger stuck in your right hand!

>remove dag
You gingerly pull the curved ora dagger from its painfully entrenched spot in your right hand. The wound begins to bleed.

Gave me a bleeder too.

[thefarmer]

You put a light purple crystal wine glass etched with a stylized leafy turnip in your turnip-clasped neckpouch.

Just got the wine glass (x2) done.

My continuing quest to crush GS with turnip items has took another step forward.

So, I just bought this headband from Farmer, and went to dye it...

On the wooden table you see a deep ebony vial of dye, a deep indigo vial of dye, a dark brown vial of dye, a bright magenta vial of dye, an icy blue vial of dye, a dingy yellow vial of dye, a silvery white vial of dye and a dark grey vial of dye.

[Reignbeau Caverns]
Many-hued clay forms the walls, ceiling, and floor of this low, twisting cavern. Dozens of stalactites drip thick liquids in every color of the rainbow. It takes a keen eye and a quick step to avoid an unintended change in hair color. The clay that oozes from the walls and drops from above forms dozens of multihued puddles around you. Grumbling, uncooperative dwarves loiter in every corner. You also see a small cave with a sign hanging over the opening, a rough wooden placard and a rickety wooden bar with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north, east, south, west, up

[Reignbeau Caverns, Order Room]
A massive dye-stained stone counter dominates the muddy rock-walled chamber, overseen by a disgruntled-looking dwarven clerk who glares and mutters to himself at each customer's approach. Behind the counter, a dwarf-sized tunnel leads into some mysterious back room from which sounds of splashing and cursing and grumbling can be heard. You also see a dye-stained stone counter with some stuff on it, a big hand-painted sign and a stone plaque.

But flaunting it around TSC is probably the second-best thing.

I dunno if this is where I should post this or not, but the other night I was thinking it would be nice if there was an NPC wizard who would give you a full spellup, you could pay per hour and amount would vary based on your level... dunno if anyone has any pull around GS, but make this happen!

[Sorcerer Guild, Foyer]
This small, simple foyer is elegantly paneled in polished dark walnut. Crimson carpet spreads from wall to wall and extends off to the west. Clusters of silver tubes sprout from the walls, entwining in serpentine fashion before ending in circular candleholders. Long black candles extend from the holders and burn with steady flames nearly as black as the candles themselves, yet the light cast by the flames readily illuminates the area. You also see the Denil disk, a framed parchment, Training Adminstrator Aerenis, a pair of black wrought iron gates, an ebony arch, an ebony marble table and a crimson insignia.

Kashir is consistent about being willing/offering to do reps (to any Guild sorcerer) without pestering anyone about it. We average one or two tasks a night.

I believe it was stated the archery contest does take skill into account, but there's also a random factor so that it doesn't automatically go to whichever capped character enters. If a skilled archer misses the target, maybe there was a sudden gust of wind at the exact wrong moment or something.

And really... none of the games during the festival were games based on trained skills/mechanics... for the most part, they were purely meant to be for fun -- open to anyone, regardless of level/skill. It was pretty openly stated before the festival ever even opened that this particular archery contest wouldn't be based on skill. It wasn't ever our intention to lead anyone to believe that it would be, though I am sorry that it soured the experience for you!
