Runestaff scripty goodness...
You lean wearily against your rune staff, letting it support some of your weight.
In an impressive display of manual dexterity you spin the rune staff in front of you, forming a deadly wall that keeps the world at bay.
You draw your rune staff towards the center of your body, placing both hands along the length of the staff.
You plant the tip of your rune staff firmly on the ground and rotate it in your hand, securing a more comfortable grip.
You raise your rune staff high overhead, pointing it toward the heavens.
That's like run of the mill scripts for a common scripted runestaff...

a crude bone key talisman
The crudely carved bone key dangles from a well-worn leather cord. Several semi-round bone and stone beads adorn the leather cord at oddly spaced widths and a small iron Grimswarm tribal marker is set into the key's bow.
+5 stamina recovery, persistent. (had the enhancive before the fest)

Managed to get a long-term goal met today. Rimalon and Oravia won me Coldfire at the first Bergraham auction a couple winters ago:
a brightly blued rolaren falchion.
Treated and oiled so that a faint blue sheen pervades its natural luster, the glistening blade is long and improbably slender, seeming almost fragile save that it is made of strong rolaren. A basket-hilt of blued steel protects the mistwood hilt, each slender curve of metal carved and sculpted to mimic frozen flame. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.
There appears to be something written on it.
In the Common language, it reads:
Coldfire
a rose-blushed silver scabbard
Impurities in the silver cast a rosy sheen like the first breaths of a new dawn over the edges of the sheath. An orb of warm orange amber, pure gleaming with firegolden motes within, completes the illusion. Toward the upper edge, whorls of tarnish artfully blacken the silver like racing stormclouds. Padding clad in pale blue satin glistens within, protecting the interior without sacrificing beauty for utility.
There appears to be something written on it.
In the Common language, it reads:
A Blackworks Original, crafted by Bergraham
It started off 4x with plasma flares with a shoulder-worn scabbard. Since it was given to me, I had the flares removed, rehung the scabbard to belt-worn, and got it enchanted up to 7x. Today, Joldaf put the plasma flares back on it, letting it live up to its name. Sweet deal.

Wow what a finish, I got pretty much everything big but the basic armor enchant on the final day, and from the discussion on the inflated prices, I might not have been able to afford it anyway.

My success at this festival was due almost entirely to the other festival-goers. In particular, a TON of thanks go to Rimalon, Mekion and Ziera (service sharing pools FTW!), and a really big shout-out goes to Mikoguchi as well for the permablessing. Everyone else who helped me out, I really appreciate it.
In ascending order of interest:
Lots of lightenings, deepenings and alters
Drawstrings added to a pouch
2 Tehir rare alter material raffles (gave away 1)
Shield harness
Different shield scripts
Snake flares raffle (sold this spot)
Feature concealing hood (gave away)
3 sets of spikes (tower shield, chain mail, full plate)
2 enhancive conversions (both Winterfest +4 ranged wrist guards converted to OHE)
Added plasma flares back onto Coldfire (7x fal, see earlier post about the circumstances)
But my pride and joy is the set of two weapons I was able to make (with a lot of help):
a perfect haon-hilted ora hunting knife - came to the festival plain 7x, left 8x with decent crit weighting and tier 1 Siolan scripts.
a perfect haon-hafted ora hatchet - came to the festival 8x with disruption flares, had the flares stripped, finished 8x and permablessed.
Once I come up with a suitable name/theme, I'll get these, my dual weapon-displaying belt and the 2 OHE enhancive wristguards altered into a matching set.
The only real disappointment of the festival was buying Amadicias' minor armor enchant spot only to have to give it up because the merchant was charging far too much to enchant my +32 hcp spiked aug chain. I might have been okay with the 12m the merchant wanted if I hadn't already agreed to pay Amadicias 15m for the spot itself. +5 DS ain't worth 27m to me, that's for sure.
So besides that, I thought the festival was a great success. From what I saw, it seemed like just about everyone got what they came for, and everyone seemed happy and helpful and cooperated very well. Kudos to us and kudos to the GMs.

I went to bed last night at 12 because I could not function.
Also a thank you to Eugenindes and Meureii for working with me on the scavenger hunt... we worked from 11ish PM midnight or so until after 6 am (well I slept at 4 and they continued). That list was nuts and I do not think the GM's ever expected we would get it all. Sorry guys my gal doe NOT want part of the robot thing.
hugs to all, more fun to come.

I gotta say... this was just a fantastic event. I had a blast at EG last year, but it was nothing compared to this. Just fantastic, and I think it all was due to the limited tickets per run. It lowered the odds significantly, and when you add in all the great people willing to deal and help out with slots, it worked out swimmingly.

The only time there was more than 40-50 people for a service/raffle was at the last basic enchant merchant that had like 50-60.

You permablessed your OFFHAND WEAPON???
Ker_Thwap
04-21-2009, 08:47 AM
Maybe you've never played a gnome, maybe you're just an ignorant judgmental clown who likes to point and laugh at what he doesn't understand.
- The offhand rapier is enhanced to add TWC ranks. This means it adds a good amount of AS to each hand.
- I use this rapier on every single hunt, dead or undead.
- I used to carry a minimum of 7 weapons at a time, the 1 enhancive rapier, 3 other blessed rapiers for which I'd have to pester clerics non stop, 1 boot dagger which I kept blessed for emergencies, and 2 flaring short swords for the living creatures.
- Since I used the enhancive rapier every hunt (dead or undead), it burned through blesses at an astounding rate.
- I also carried lockpicks, two wedges, a flask, acantha leaf, strength enhancive items, and little else.
- With the permablessed rapier, I can leave 2 normally blessed rapiers behind, freeing up 4 valuable pounds.
- If I'm hunting in a mixed dead/undead area such as harbs/steeds helping someone out. I put a flaring short sword in my right hand. Then I can use the SWAP command when a dead steed wanders in.
- Hunting undead, it makes no difference what hand the perma blessed weapon is in. I have no idea yet if the permabless weapon even has holy water flares yet, I haven't hunted with it yet. If it doesn't have holy water flares then I'd be better off with the permablessed in my left hand.
- It's a gnome, I don't get single shot kills ever. I hit things in the leg, knockdown/maybe stun with the first weapon, occasionally I get the kill with the offhand weapon. Most often, I hit it with both weapons, then try again.
- I've only been playing for a bit over a year. I don't have a 10x rapier of doom, nor any items nice enough to trade for the one decent rapier available at any cost. Thus, I must go the long route and build my own gear up from scratch.
- I may be able to buy enchanting spots at the upcoming festivals, or maybe even a friend will get it enchanted for me for free at an upcoming festival. I may just have to use premium points and take ten years to bring up the enchant on this rapier. I'm in no rush.
- Bottom line, this item being permablessed works out perfectly for the way I play this game.

- Hunting undead, it makes no difference what hand the perma blessed weapon is in. I have no idea yet if the permabless weapon even has holy water flares yet, I haven't hunted with it yet. If it doesn't have holy water flares then I'd be better off with the permablessed in my left hand.
Oh come on, you coulda said yet at LEAST three more times!!!11 :)
And to add to my list, I got the final lightening on my 7x vhcp doubles yesterday afternoon, down to 8 pounds now.
I got new spikes on my +18 impact flaring max lightened (38 pound) full plate this morning at about 2:30AM, thanks Keggie!
I also got a cleric doll that looks like me, and a totally sweet alter on a flask, which I posted in the fails thread already.
And just now I almost missed (from room order, and being TOTALLY afk) but got (from spinning) a hood on an armor concealer.

So you calling me out on being ignorant for never playing a gnome was pretty much the stupidest fucking thing in the universe. Then you went on to justify your position for permablessing your rapier with MECHANICAL REASONS ONLY to which every single one I rebutted from a mechanical standpoint in my PM. After at least being nice in the PM and showing you how you could mechanically better your character, you now come back at me in this post and the PM with - IT WAS FOR RP!!!

I just came back from watching Road House at the local indie theatre so obviously, this has to happen, okayy?
You really want to pretend that you were looking to be a good citizen here and teach the world the glory that is your way of playing the game?
I never pretended I was "teaching the world the glory that is [my] way of playing the game." I simply pointed out that, from a mechanical standpoint, your decision to permabless your rapier (which to date you're unsure of the stats even) was a poor choice. Which again, you defended with mechanical reasons which I rebutted, then you backpedaled and said it was purely RP. What I don't get is that if it was purely RP why you're so concerned with my criticism. Other people have done far, Far, FAR stranger in the name of RP and that's totally fine with me. Admittedly, I'm a mechanics freak and don't RP, like, at all. One or more metro fire wizards can verify this.
Half of your responses in your private message to me had NO causal connection to my initial points. The were all true facts, but not pertinent.

Cost of the raffle ticket covers the cost of the padding.
Cost of buying the slot also covers the cost of the padding...
So you either get lucky and spend about 50-100k on a ticket and win, then the padding is no extra charge, or you spend 40-50m on buying the auction, and once again pay no extra charge.

Three of those lightenings were only 1 lb. I thought they always did at least 2 lbs unless it was near its limit.
Bunch of crap overall. After all the time I sat in front of my computer. Spent about 3 mil on raffles and junk. I asked multiple times when the flare removal would be done with no reply. This should be my last pay event but thats what I said about the last EG. I guess I had a chance at something amazing with the raffles.

Any event like this, you're going to see a number of people who don't get many services, and a few who get the lions' share.
The allowance for sale of slots only polarized this more than usual.
Things changed on the last run from the first, as well. It was almost twenty hours, give or take, before the first merchant showed on the last run. They were going from pretty much out of the gate on the first.
Some last run merchants only worked once, and some at very odd times - wanted amulet holders unlocked? They were done so one time, and at something like 4:30 in the morning.
The merchants also did a lot of work on the last day, which some people probably didn't expect. A lot of that was unannounced as well.

That IS a good chunk of time, true, but I am willing to bet those that got the most services were running double that amount. I put in atleast 15 hours every day Thurs-Sunday, but I don't have much of a life. A lot of fun, though. Sorry you didn't enjoy yourself. I found just BSing in the chat to be a lot of fun in its own right.

Yeah, I put in like 18 hours a day the whole week and I still feel a little dissapointed in the overall amount of general and some non-general servies on the last run.
I'm pretty sure it was a bad combo between severe burnout and a holiday weekend. A lot of the merchants were showing up only long enough to do their auctions/raffles and then ghosting out.
Some services weren't even offered. I never saw the scroll dude, for instance.
I will say though that in comparison to every other event I've been to (minus auction tiered events) all it takes is like two alters and I'll have received more work than usual. So in that sense both runs I went on were a success, and I did get quite a bit of work done, though I didn't win any great raffles on this last run :(.

Well I was on Sunday the whole day. But my philosophy now is, its far more cost effective to just buy stuff when people quit compared to the time/silver/cash spent at these events. Not that 3 mil is a lot of silver just would have taken a ton to get anything else done. Went in willing to spend 35 mil but I couldn't get flares removed to get mana vial flares and thats the only thing I had a shot at really.

For the first run, I would call it a day around 1 AM Thurs - Sun. I missed a merchant or two, but never a major service. Getting a good 6-7 hours of sleep a night made the difference between enjoying myself and getting totally burned out. As for services, I wanted stuff that you couldn't pick up second-hand. Alterations, AsG changes, etc to MY gear, not services added to other people's gear, then sold to me. That was the whole theme of the festival. To upgrade your own gear, as opposed to buying new crap.
Sounds like you guys got screwed on the Fourth run. Burnout nearly always happens with multiple-run festivals.

There were a couple of GMs working their ass off all day yesterday, which was cool. I must've gotten four things done by Larkwen, I received two hoodies and a few more things done by various merchants.
There was only like 20 of us running around, so your odds were pretty good.
After putting in those crazy hours on the weekend, I barely played at all Mon-thurs. I just stopped caring. Picked up like 1-2 services in that span of time. Not much was offered, either, as the GM's said would be the case. This shift in them offering more services Mon-thurs is kind of lame.
I'll say this... the last run, I went in with very low expectations, despite my great luck on the first run. I figured there would be some burnout, and that my luck would be bad. I was on for a LOT of time, and Paul tooled me around a bit, too, when I couldn't be there. All told, I think I only missed being present for four of the announced services, and I entered every... single... raffle. I didn't get spun or chosen for anything above an alter or lighten. I only won a rolaren slab and an eonake slab. Everything else I got, I had to buy someone else's won slot.
And for all that... I came away thrilled. I got... I think... seven alters which were much nicer than usual. Five lightenings. Fluff scripts on my runestaff. Max lightened my leathers. DCW (purchased) on my waraxe. Morphing tattoo (purchased). Altered glimaerstone ring of WIN (with all credit going to Belnia). AND I qualify for the consolation prize! So I have some extremely nice choices.
So... I had horrid luck. But I put in my time, exchanged favors and coins, merchanted like crazy to try and get the things I really wanted, and completely ignored RP. And for all that, I'd go again this weekend if they announced a fifth run. Best event I've ever attended, by far (both runs).
And I hope they never do it again... can you imagine? Talk about ripping the market to shreds for high end gear. Next year everyone would grab three tickets (even if it's just for resale for profit to suckers like me). And everyone would have 8x crit weighted this and that. Scripts and alters GALORE. Something like this should come along once every 5 years or so, at most... IMHO.

Even though I was dissapointed compared to the first run, I still feel like I got my money/time worth from it.
I only received about half the services that I did from the first run, but I still feel like I made out well...
Hoodie X 2
Custom doll.
AsG raffle win.
Tehir farszig raffle win.
Rolaren slab auction win for 1.5 mil.
Lightened a perfect maul down to 4 lbs.
Lightened my shield to min.
Lightened/deepened my surcoat down to min/max.
Altered said surcoat.
Added an enhancive dachre to my harness.
Lightened/deepened said harness to min/max.
Lightened that sweet short sword I bought from Swami to 2 lbs.
Lightened/altered a pair of boots.
Altered a hoodie.
I bid on the exceptional weighting for Droit, which we added to his dagger along with Tier 3? Siolan scripts.
Does winning an auction disqualify you from consolation prizes? Cuz I didn't win shit I didn't have to pay out the ass for. :(

Yep, unfortunately. I only qualify because I bought or traded for slots that other people won. I didn't even think about it until the end of the weekend, when I was tallying up what I had gotten done.

I think the group I went with pretty much cleaned house. Here's my list:
Tehir Raffle - Farszig bolt
Dachre
Feature Concealer
Armor Concealers
Lightened Project plate (3x)
Deepened Longcoat (3x)
Spikes on Project Plate
Spikes on Regular plate
Weapon Enchant (was hoping for major win for the black ora, but settled for bumping the maul to 7x, I know, it should have been 7x before the fest but, oh well)
armor enchant (still waiting on estimate from the merchant)
morphing tattoo
runestaff scripts (gave away)
bought a sanct spot (gave away)
enhancive recharging (gave this away too)
Allmine script (gave away)
twc script (gave away)
drawstring on container (gave away)
pocket added to item (gave away)
In addition to about 10 alterations. All told I ended up with 30+ merchant services. I did have some issues with the number of merchants on the third run. There were NONE for hours on end on Saturday and Sunday. I think scheduling it on a holiday weekend was a bad call on Simu's part.
My only other complaint is that I won the armor enchant on saturday morning, and the GM said he needed to get back to me on an estimate. I didn't want to buy anything from the CCF chat because I knew I'm looking at a significant charge to enchant the plate. Now, it's thursday, and still no word.

I got luckier on run 4 than I got on run 2.
All total, it's not a huge list, compared to some people, but I got the things I set out to get before the start of each run (I only had to buy 2 out of the 8 I wanted with 1 being an auction), so that's all that matters to me.
edit: Several people helped me out in this. Either by letting me know the service was about to be offered IG, in chat (or Belnia calling my phone), or in the case of the auction, by loaning me their coin hand (Paul), or by not being douchebags and driving the cost up (Lucos, Maodan, Durg, possibly more).

I got stuff, a lot of stuff. Most importantly, I got spun for the only two things I bought a ticket for so I'm a very happy panda. :)

They released new amulet holders that could be unlocked to have more scripts.

First Baptist Church of Eugene - 3550 Fox Meadow Rd, Eugene, Oregon 97408 ... When it’s all said and done, CCF is simply about Jesus. We don’t want to ever miss this! We don’t want to be about “organized religion!” We don’t want to live for pious platitudes and religious activity!

While I applaud your efforts to build your church, that isn't the best way to do it.
