Important Updates!

7/12
Arena Updates

There will be a 250 cap on earnings. That cap will be achievable. Earning bloodscrip won't be about massacring everything as quick as possible. Time will still be an important element to being a top earner, but there will be more things at play when earning bloodscrip. Dodging the traps will play a minor role. Dying and surrendering will no longer have any penalties to your bloodscrip earnings, but will still result in no chance of a randomly created item in your prize package. Prize packages are also getting a small revamp to offer a little more variety. Losing will now earn a good showmanship bonus to bloodscrip, meaning people who can't always win will still have a chance to earn more depending on how long they last on their final opponent. For example, if you can't defeat the your 12th opponent and you had 3 minutes to defeat them, you'll earn for making it to the 12 opponent, for dodging any traps, and a bonus for lasting 3 minutes (dying/surrendering won't get you that bonus). The spells haste and rapid fire will be dispelled during the combat sequence of the arena matches. While they both offer an advantage, the reason is due to the crashes many of you experienced in the arena.

Ratacombs Updates

Bloodscrips earned while searching the Ratacombs will have a higher range of their value. It will still not compare to the arena, but it will be closer to the hopeful median. The random directions in the Ratacombs will be lessened with some more static areas to walk through.

Item|Price*|Notes
Spell knowledge certificate|300000|Create an item or use your own to make a spell knowledge enhancive. The spell list to choose from has some limitations, but not many.
Coin hand certificate|250000|Create a coin hand from your own flesh! Description will be [a something][your race][hand]. Don't want to use your own hand? No problem, we can find something more to your liking.
Blink certificate|175000|Create a 5x "blink" weapon. Most weapon profiles allowed with exception to naginatas, katanas, and claidhmores.
RotFlare certificate|125000|Add RotFlares to a weapon of your choice. Some exceptions would be a "blink" weapon or fusion. Others may exist on a case-by-case scenario.
* Item price may be subject to change before they are placed out for sale.

>For the self knowledge certificates, are spells 215, 1617, 1109, and 1130 eligible?

No on 1130. Spells 215 and 1617 will have limited charges. I can also tell you no to 1750.
1612 will be a limited charges one.
Yeah, limited charges just means they won't have the usual max charges allowed.
No, the spell knowledge aren't x/day. There are just specific tiers of max charges on there. The more powerful spells that you don't typically find for sale in shops will be at the highest tier for spell knowledge, which means they don't have a lot of charges. More than a typical item you find out hunting though.
Oh and good news, we'll let 1109 be offered for spell knowledge enhancives.

>Does "limited charges" mean under 80 or under 20? There's a big difference, so I was curious if this information can be shared. Also, will the recharging costs be adjusted depending on the item slot, and is there any way to get an idea of these before deciding on an item? Say for 215 for the various spots and for 1612 and 1109 also.

Under 80, over 20. You'll be working with me for the certificates, so we can run through some checks. Spell enhancives are pricey to recharge. But yeah, I don't want you guys having buyer's remorse on a monster purchase. You have my assurance I'll work with you.

The shadowy leather cloak is back since none sold.
Permanent gold rings with 3, 5, and 10 settings.
Two warblade, 6x, greater elemental flares (fire and ice).
A permanent vaalin lockpick (self-repairs).

7/24
We've also added some items that may appeal to more RP-centric characters instead of purely mechanically-inclined prizes. Spellbound is now home to a new tome and codex which are chock full of verbs to help you express yourself!

For example...

Tamuz flicks a bit of dust from a page of his leather-bound tome.
Tamuz flips through the pages of his leather-bound tome.
Tamuz gazes intently at a page of his leather-bound tome, lost in thought.
Tamuz moistens his fingertip with his tongue and slowly turns a page of his leather-bound tome.
Tamuz emphatically pokes a finger at a page of his leather-bound tome.
Tamuz turns his leather-bound tome over and shakes it vigorously, but it seems there's nothing stuck between the pages.
Tamuz turns a page of his leather-bound tome.
Tamuz pulls a small stylus from the binding of his leather-bound tome, scribbles something on a page, then puts the tool away.
Tamuz slams his leather-bound tome shut with a loud THWAP!
Tamuz drums his fingers on his leather-bound tome, lost in thought.

And that's only half of the verbs available on them!

I've thought long and hard. I'm going to put the certificates out the first Sunday, but only from 2pm to 3pm ET. I will then put them out again the following Sunday (8/2) at 9pm until we close (which I believe is 10pm) ET. While the layaway, downpayment, and being overly lenient methods are desired, I feel this is still the proper direction to go. It's not intended for everyone who wants one of these items to get one. It's intended to be something very rare still. I think allowing the items to be purchased during the last hour of this event will open it up to many others though.

Because of this update, I am going to put a HARD DEADLINE of August 5th on the certificate redemption. There will be instructions on the certificates. If you plan to be out of town, out of reach, or simply away from GS after you purchase that certificate and do not attempt to redeem it by that deadline, the certificate will be forfeit. If we pass the deadline date because of legitimate reasons, such as we can't find a qualifying item after something gets rejected, you've had something terrible come up, or you accidentally fall into a time rift and find yourself in a quest to save the universe, then we'll be okay about the deadline passing.

Room 12: Duskruin Arena

[Bloodriven Village, Pell Square]

- Matches will be 8 minutes long where you face 25 creatures one-on-one. Every 5 matches you'll face a champion similar to the champions in the previous version of the arena.
- There are over 20 new creatures in the arena to face. Most creatures can perish to a critical blow, outside the champions. You earn bloodscrip for each creature you kill. You also earn a bonus if you defeat all 25 creatures in the time limit. Dying no longer incurs a bloodscrip penalty, but surrendering still does.
- Spectators can watch battles in progress, after the porticullis, go north, go steps. In any of those rooms type WATCH and a list of options will appear. These rooms in the stands are also earth nodes.
- Hazards can now be avoided in a small mini-game during arena matches. Hazards are a little more deadly though.
- You can now earn a time bonus too that works in a more favorable way. The quicker you make it through, the higher the bonus. You can earn a max of 225 bloodscrip plus the time bonus.
- Battles are just like hunting so make sure you're spelled up and have your armor, shield and weapon!
- At the end you will receive a winnings package. The contents will vary depending on how you did in the arena.

Ready to fight?!
1. Go up a heavily wooded path next to a stately two-storey house.
2. Go through the enormous iron porticullis, then north, down and north again.
3. Buy a Duskruin Arena Ticket from the Simustore (https://store.play.net/store/purchase/GS) for 100 simucoins. Type SIMUCOIN in game to get your ticket. Booklets are also available (25 and 50 slips).
4. Make sure you're ready for battle and have herbs aplenty! Battling here is just like hunting except you have a time limit (5 minutes per beast).
5. With the dueling slip in hand, go through the entrance.

Snapshot
An announcer shouts, "Introducing our new combatant, Duskruin Arena Champion Teiana Vala'wethrin the Spiritcaller, hailing from Isle of the Four Winds!"

An announcer shouts, "Teiana, you will have five minutes to slay each beast that enters the arena. There are a total of five rounds to make it through!"

An announcer shouts, "You may use whatever means possible to do so. Some beasts may feign death and give the assumptions they have dropped dead, so be sure to keep a watchful eye on them!"

An announcer shouts, "Give us a good show, but be careful lingering too long. You will earn more bloodscrip the longer you last each round, but our beasts are trained to work better under pressure!"

An announcer shouts, "Combatant Teiana, prepare yourself for battle! Good luck and Godspeed. At any point you can surrender, but I would not recommend it if you want to be a champion!"

...after defeating your beasts...

An announcer boasts, "Combatant Teiana is triumphant, defeating all those that opposed her!" The overwhelming sound of applauding echoes throughout the stands!

An arena guard escorts you from the dueling sands. You pass by a white-robed human healer who heals you of your injuries.

A plump grey-bearded scripmaster flags you over and says, "Here are your winnings, Teiana." He shows you an arena winnings package containing {bloodscrip}, {random item}, and some silver coins. He continues, "Not bad for for an untrained Sylvankind." The scripmaster closes an arena winnings package and hands it to you.

Room 11: Duskruin Sewer

[Bloodriven Village, Mark Alley]

- You have one hour or 10-12 chances to SEARCH the Ratacombs.
- There are also some minor obstacles in the sewers when you SEARCH to add some flavor.
- Loot is either bloodscrip, a random item or if you're lucky, a sewer rat (http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?95093-sewer-rat) or other wildlife. Random items vary from magical or enhancive to plain jewelry, weapons, shields or armor.
- Haste spell does not help unfortunately.
- If you're injured you won't be allowed past the grate.
- When you enter the Ratacombs from the grate you get dropped into a series of four rooms where you can move up/down. You can SEARCH here and it won't drop your count however currently there is no known benefit to doing this. Head up and out to get to the actual SEARCH'able rooms.
- Move about and search. If you have searched a room already you can't search it again, not sure if this resets after a certain time.

Ready to search?!
1. From the gate go east then into a dark alleyway.
2. Climb a crooked ladder that is behind the rubble.
3. Buy a Duskruin Sewer Token from the Simustore (https://store.play.net/store/purchase/GS) for 100 simucoins. Type SIMUCOIN in game to get your token.
4. With a gold rat token in hand, go through the grate, up a couple times and out.

Snapshot
The tunnel sweeper accepts your rat token and says, "Great, friend. Enjoy the adventure, I hope you find riches, just mind the rats. All you need to do inside is search around, even if you want to catch a rat!" An old tunnel sweeper escorts you into the sewer. As you pass through the grate, you lose your footing and slide down a sluice. Speeding down into the sewer, you finally come to a stop and splash into some sewage!

>search
You search around and find an old spiked golvern shield!
Roundtime: 2 sec.

>search
You search around and find some filthy parchment bloodscrip!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

>search
You search around and find a kakore runestaff!
Roundtime: 4 sec.

You get washed away by some raw sewage! You wipe the filth from your eyes and see...

[Bloodriven Village, Cesspool]
The floor of this putrid pit is quaggy and wet beneath about three feet of liquid sewage. A few roots stick out from the tall dirt walls, covered in slick sludge. A wet and rotting rope dangles over the side from above, where a shaft of light descends through a small overhead circle.
Obvious paths: none

Once you're at this point you're done, climb or go rope to exit after the stun wears off.

Wyrom said this instance will be open until late Sunday. I think the plan is to run it on weekends until the kinks are worked out then maybe keep it open longer.

Those sewers are addicting - that's all I have to say. And the rats drink cocoa!

You show a large cup of milky hot cocoa to a buck-toothed sewer rat, setting it on the ground as the rodent climbs down to sniff at the proffered beverage suspiciously. Apparently satisfied, it drags the cocoa off a ways and begins lapping at it.

open: You open the ash case, being careful not to spill the contents.
close: You close the ash case, securing the contents.

put: You toss the jet-inset ivory dice into a small compartment inside the ash case.
You discreetly stow the black alum darts into a secret compartment inside the ash case.
You set the gilt-edged jet cards into a small compartment inside the ash case.

You discreetly remove the black alum darts from a secret compartment inside the ash case.
You gather the gilt-edged jet cards from a small compartment inside the ash case.

description: a deck of gilt-edged jet cards
analyze: This item is a deck of cards that may be used to perform tricks or gamble with. It may be customized with a show description but long descriptions are not allowed. It must remain a deck of cards. This deck is currently locked and will utilize FOLD, CUT, PULL, and TURN. Perhaps a special merchant can unlock it for you.
fold: You shuffle a deck of gilt-edged jet cards idly in your hands and glance about with a bored expression.
cut: In an impressive show of dexterity, you cut a deck of gilt-edged jet cards in half one-handed.
pull: You rapidly shuffle a deck of gilt-edged jet cards a few times and draw the top card, revealing the Queen of clubs.
turn: Turning the cards over in both hands, you perform a dovetail shuffle. The cards cascade back into a single deck.

description: a pair of jet-inset ivory dice
analyze: You analyze your jet-inset ivory dice and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."
roll: You give the dice a good shake for luck and roll them on the floor.
The dice bounce a few times and come to rest on 5 and 5.

description: a hooded ebon-hued velvet robe

analyze: This item can be altered, but it needs to remain a worn, LONG, container with some kind of a clasp, which should remain a singular item, and should be able to be flipped (ie: no frog closures). In addition, the clasp portion of this cloak is fully alterable. This clasp does NOT need to be included in the base/long of the item. This robe is Tier 0/2. Original merchant: Xanai, Duskruin.

Your robe is not yet unlocked. Any merchant can unlock this to the next tier.
Available verbs: fold, remove, tickle, touch, wear, whisper.
You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the ebon-hued robe for you or have its pockets deepened.

wear: In a single, fluid motion, you swing the ebon-hued robe around your body and onto your shoulders, settling in it comfortably. You abruptly fasten the blood red garnet clasp to secure your possessions from wandering hands.
fold: With a devious grin, you fold your arms across your chest and shrug your shoulders beneath your ebon-hued robe.
tickle: You tinker absentmindedly with the blood red garnet clasp on your ebon-hued robe, insinuating disinterest in your surroundings.
touch: You touch the ebon-hued robe's blood red garnet clasp but there are no associated memories that you can easily recall.
remove: You unfasten the blood red garnet clasp and remove your ebon-hued robe, glancing around expectantly. You lay the robe across your arm, somewhat annoyed. Where's a butler when you need one?

>whisper robe you are the chosen one...
You lower your head and whisper something profound into the ebon-hued robe's blood red garnet clasp, but you get the feeling that there's already a stored memory.

>touch robe
As you touch the ebon-hued robe's blood red garnet clasp, you are suddenly filled with memories of a distant past. The words flood your mind as you remember...

you are the chosen one...

added info:
- when cloak is given to someone else they are unable to read the message
- message can be over-written by someone else

7500*7 = 52.5 bloodscrip

65,625,000 purchasing at an average of 1250 per scrip

or ~430 runs of sewers/arena getting an "ok" amount per run

and you can own your own set of pins equivalent to a 7x a day dauntless or mobility!

And that is now fucking stupid.

I have to agree. At 7,500 I think I would have gone for this, at 15k? meh. This is just a utility for me, I lose all my outside spells in the rift anyway. Maybe they could add some of those unlocking keys, those are handy when I'm hunting.

A sales clerk says, "A slit-pupiled citrine quartz pin will cost 15000 Duskruin Arena bloodscrip to purchase."

They already raised the price on the Fash Gift pin twice. First it was 7500, then 10000, now it's 15000.

More a curiosity than anything, but is it possible that they actually planned ahead and set it up to increase in cost for every x number sold, largely to prevent someone stockpiling five or ten of them?

I sure hope not. I was standing there when Wyrom changed the price from 7500 to 10000. And I was thinking I'm okay with that, not bad. So, I went and bought some tokes and started grinding the sewer only to check back like 10 minutes later and it changed again. I think they just didn't realize the market value of it when they first put it up for sale. They also lowered the price on all the scrolls, those were all 7500 to begin with.

You and me both. At first, I was severely enthused. Then I realized that if you look at it from a business standpoint, this puts a *LOT* of cash into Simu's pocket, and removes it from the PC player-driven economy. That's bad =(.

And then they bumped the price on a lot of shit that matters to players. The Fash pin especially. Double the price? Who the fuck is going to pay 60+mil for 2 or 3 fash rubs per day? Seriously? At least at 7500 it was a severe investment of cash/silvers buying tokens/slips, but it was semi-reasonable, considering the market for x/day chargers.

>>Have the pins stabilized in price or are they going to keep going up like the Fash'lo'nae pin has doubled since release? It would be helpful to know before attempting to chase a moving target.

Something didn't stink when we added them originally. So the prices kept reverting back to a base price, which wasn't intended. They were a;ways intended to 7500 a piece for the two specific spells, and double for the Fash'lo'nae's Gift. There was someone in the shop who kept saying, "Don't change the 1750 price." And I couldn't figure out why he kept saying that until I double checked. And then I messed up a digit when I fixed it.

>>Also, what is the activator on the pins? Thanks.

I believe RUB is the activator. I could be wrong though.

Why didn't it go from 7500 to 15000 then? It went from 7500 to 10000 to 15000. Oh he mistyped more than once, after mistyping and paying more attention.

If the duskruin scrolls drain consistently with my past scroll research, you'll get ~800 casts of raise dead for your 7500 bloodscrip, assuming you never invoke/infuse the other spells on the scroll.

I'll work up the estimates for other already-available-on-scrolls spells (like 613, 215) tomorrow. For the ones that otherwise don't show on scrolls (like 515), if someone wants to bring me a scroll once it's ready to be infused, I can work up estimates for their lifetimes too. I got an 1109 scroll myself, so I'll publish that eventually, but it'll be a little while before I even work down from the 40 initial charges to below 20 where I can infuse it and check the value drain.

Wyrom is looking for arena feedback here (http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Quests%60Sagas%60Events/Duskruin%20Arena/view/479):

After watching over hundred matches the last couple of days, and hearing a lot of the concerns for the arena comparing to the sewers... I'm thinking of moving away entirely from the current setup for the arena matches. While the math works, it's still too slow, and the herb munching was never an intended feat.

My goal is to change the arena to be a kill count match. You keep going until the time limit is up, you die, or you surrender. The time would be drastically reduced to 5 minute matches. I'll also look into ways to offer mini challenges during the matches to aid people who want to avoid hazards.

What I want to know from all of you is, would you welcome this change?

Fallen

03-31-2015, 04:25 PM

Is it fair to have pures and squares held to the same kill count timers? It almost seems like each player should be measured using their own profession's specific standard.

The average sorcerer can kill X per second
The average warrior can kill X per second

etc

Tei

04-28-2015, 06:37 PM

Update:

The arena matches are much more action packed now. No more herb munching and waiting an obnoxiously long time to maximize your bloodscrip. Matches will be roughly 6 to 7 minutes long where you face 25 creatures one-on-one. Every 5 matches you'll face a champion similar to the champions in the previous version of the arena. There are over 20 new creatures in the arena to face. Most creatures can perish to a critical blow, outside the champions. You earn bloodscrip for each creature you kill. You also earn a bonus if you defeat all 25 creatures in the time limit. Dying no longer incurs a bloodscrip penalty, but surrendering still does.

I've also introduced new hazards. I removed the darts, arrows, spiked ball-and-chain, and boulders. Hazards can now be avoided in a small mini-game during arena matches. I will leave it to you to figure it out. It's not terribly hard, and the term "mini-game" probably is an exaggeration of what it is. But it adds flavor. Hazards are a little more deadly though.

You can now earn a time bonus too that works in a more favorable way. The quicker you make it through, the higher the bonus. You can earn a max of 225 bloodscrip plus the time bonus.

The Ratacombs have also had a minor update. It seems more wildlife has escaped into the sewers, as well as some other sort of rats. So you may find something different this time around. There are also some minor obstacles in the sewers when you SEARCH to add some flavor.

We'll be relaunching this Friday and staying open for a week.

~Wyrom, APM

>>Do the traps still get progressively more challenging later in the match? Or are they the same level of mini-game 'skill' throughout?

You get a 30 second leeway where they are VERY slow. After that, it's random throughout to when they can fire. You can prevent them 2 different ways. Through the mini-game or by simply disabling the creature. I don't want to give too much about the mini-game away just yet.

04-30-2015, 03:45 PM

Deeds:

One thing I changed this time is the need for deeds. You lost deeds in the arena, but you incurred no penalty if you had none. If you have no deeds, your death will be treated like a normal death, and you'll drop all your spells. Stock up, or Lorminstra awaits!

More updates:

So we've added a handful of new items.

There are 5 helmets that have resistance and padding in Gamac's Goods.

There are 3 new mannequins in The Mar and Scar with high-end loot. We've readjusted the price on the faenor waraxe as well (lower). All the armors are similar in properties. I'll explain more about the other wares later. There is also an infamous spoon and a butcher knife for sale there too.

We added 2 new X/day items, floating disk and invisibility, but they are 2x/day.

There is a 6x/6x acuity NerveStaff for sale.

The Mar and Scar, Pierced - types of piercing jewelry:
I was able to add hoop, shard, sliver, fang, and hook. Plurals don't work as it's set up right now. Hope you all will enjoy the 5 new nouns though!

Arena:
I updated the arena mechanics to discard lodged arrows and thrown weapons before the creatures are pulled from the arena. They will be dropped to the ground where you stand. Make sure to grab them before you're moved or you die!

Q&A's

>>That 6X/6X Nervestave is going to be very nice for whomever gets it.

It's not limited.

>>Also, are the high end scrolls back, same as last run?

Scrolls are still there.

>>So when you say new wild life escaped into the sewers do you mean different types of rodents or something completely different? Just curious what I will be adding to my walking zoo this weekend.

Different types of rats. Sewer rats are the most abundant. There are 15 more descriptors and 5 new types of rats.

>>Is this going to be limited like the rot staves?

Right now, there is nothing limited at this event. But there is a high chance we will rotate some gear for next time, so don't count on the same wares after this run.

>>Also, I see one comment about leaving it open for 2 weekends this time, is that real or will it be shorter?

The event will run from 5/1 at (roughly) 9pm until 5/10 at (roughly) 9pm ET.

Some shops MAY be closed on opening night, but we'll make sure they are open by Sunday at the latest.

Arena and Ratacomb updates:

Okay, based on feedback I made some updates. Also, due to the quantity vs quality argument, I've made changes to loot in the Ratacombs.

Arena

*Creatures that are bound should stop causing the hazards.
*RT locked creatures will still be able to fire off the hazards.
*Extra death messaging with no deeds is resolved (you weren't dying more, it was just being silly).
*Matches are roughly 8 minutes, not 6. This hasn't changed, but the intro messaging reflects this.
*If a GameHost or GameMaster enters your arena, it will pause the match briefly (not the creature), but they need to leave, and you need to ASSIST or REPORT when you're done.

Ratacombs

*The sewage sweeper doesn't strike much at all anymore. It should be a rare occurrence. And it doesn't ever take you to the starting spot. This NEVER uses up a search attempt. Just because I said rare doesn't mean it can't strike twice in a trip. It can happen, but not that often. This is a 1% chance now.
*I've decreased the number of loot you can find in a single trip into the Ratacombs and stabilized the loot to not be so random. Loot drops at a rate of 10% of all searches. As an FYI, this is now better than anything you experienced on opening night last time. Loot is still random though, like a slot machine (this is the nature of GS). There will still be times you don't win great things, but you have better chances at a jackpot find now.

Minor updates for the Arena:

Added some safeguards for characters level 10 and below so creatures don't have an overwhelming number of health. Some creatures do have higher attack strengths though.

Fixed a typo in the intro.

Gave the ability for creatures to spawn with more mana.

Anyone got stats on the two ruic bows in Bloodriven Bowery?

a lapis-tinted ruic bow traced in filigree along the limbs 84
a leather-strapped dark ruic bow with a faint oily sheen 24

Is there a difference with them mechanically? Perhaps one is more scripted. Something for the reason why one is 84 bloodscrip while the other is only 28. Is it just because one has a "fancier" description?

Edit:

I ended up just buying both of them. Nothing special from what I can tell. Though the leather-strapped bow is actually just a short bow hence the cost difference.

Has anyone bought a mechanical crossbow yet? How do they work?

EDIT: Nevermind, Wyrom clarified.

In Crosswinds and Crosshairs, the crystal-sighted crossbows are tier 1 unlocked, which hold up to 3 bolts at a time. The mechanical arbalests are 5x [actually, he changed these back to 4x] and tier 2 unlocked, and hold up to 5 bolts at a time. I mistakenly thought they fired all the ammo at once, but they still only fire it one at a time.

Enjoy!

~Wyrom, APM

So I did some testing.

>analyze arb
You analyze your light arbalest and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
-------------------MECHANICAL CROSSBOWS-------------------------
| These crossbows are of gnomish craftsmanship, and very |
| intricate. Any alteration should be along with this theme. |
| |
| Bows should have a wooden stock, metallic gears and arms |
| with a crystal lenses for sights. |
| |
| If altering these, you may ONLY change the base 15/15/15 |
| and the settings below. |
| |
| It is unlocked to Tier 2. It cannot be unlocked again. |
| It can now be loaded with up to 5 bolts at a time. |
| You can now: WEAR, REMOVE, POINT, POKE, RUB, PULL, PUSH |
----------------------------------------------------------------
Metal Gears = silver
Metal Cams = rolaren
Metal Arms/Stirrup = steel
Crystal Sights = tinted

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the light arbalest for you.

>load arb
You flip open the stock of your light arbalest and load a wooden light crossbow bolt into it. As you do, several gears spin and whirl, drawing the bolt into the interior of your arbalest. You then quickly snap the stock shut.
>look arb
A fine example of gnomish ingenuity and workmanship, this light arbalest displays curved steel arms extending outward from the stock and is capped at the front with a steel stirrup. Large oval cams of rolaren are wrapped in the bowstring that stretches across a network of silver gears set amid either arm and into the interior of the arbalest. Aligned atop the stock are a pair of tinted crystal lenses serving as sights, with a small trigger extending from the underside of the weapon.

Examining the arbalest you see that it is cocked and loaded with 5 bolts.
You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's mark.

>fire
You aim down the tinted crystal sights and squeeze the trigger of your light arbalest, the silver gears snapping into action!
You fire a wooden light crossbow bolt at a kobold!
AS: +71 vs DS: +13 with AvD: +31 + d100 roll: +71 = +160
... and hit for 28 points of damage!
Nice puncture to the abdomen, just missed vital organs!
The kobold crumples to a heap on the ground and dies.
The light crossbow bolt ricochets away from a kobold, landing nearby.
Roundtime: 2 sec.

>cock arb
You draw back on the bowstring of your light arbalest causing its silver gears to whirl, lifting a wooden light crossbow bolt from the interior and snapping it into place. You cock your light arbalest.
Roundtime: 7 sec.

You unfortunately still have to cock the crossbow between shots, so it is really mostly for looks.

So this was updated again this morning:
Here (http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Quests%60Sagas%60Events/Duskruin%20Arena/thread/1708661)

I've just tossed in some updates to these bows.

The RUB verb is working again.
The ANALYZE is lined up better for the unlocked versions.
The LOOK has some extra spacing for the line where enchants would show.
The COCK roundtime for unlocked versions only has been GREATLY reduced. Light crossbows will have a 1 second RT, where heavy will have a 2 second RT. They will not take you out of hiding or be subjected to strength/encumbrance rules. The gears do the work for you.

Due to this change, the price for the unlocked versions will be increasing.

New prices are:
T2: 5000
T1: 2500
Locked: 100

This is one of the core rules of successful gamification- artificial scarcity. Though, the enhancive issue is definitely part of the problem. If you read the officials- it's clear Wyrom is trying to figure out how to do that without pissing everyone off. I don't envy him.

I'll re-evaluate the math associated with a crossbow compared to a bow.. I know there's about a 20% DS contribution difference between bows and crossbows, favoring bows (.15 DS contribution in offensive for bows versus .12 for crossbows). I'll take a look at the DF values and such as well.

If you have ridiculously high RT, it seems like a good option, but if you're anywhere close to minimum RT, I couldn't any crossbow as advantageous, especially considering the additional verbs, and two sets of RT.

I went ahead and grabbed one of the 5x fully unlocked mechanical heavy crossbows. If nothing else, it may be nice to have along as a secondary weapon. I was more drawn by the fact it can hold 5 bolts before it needs to be reloaded. Only issue with any of this is the ridiculous encumbrance issues with a gnome already - carrying an extra weapon may be difficult.

I think I may have a 6 sec RT with my longbow, not sure. Will have to play around with the crossbow sometime this week.

The realm weapons have nifty loresongs, or the Eonake morning star I bought does at least

The first thing that strikes you about the star is the sturdy craftmanship, the uncanny balance, and the elegant design. The metal from which the star is crafted feels strangely heavy in your hand. You sense rare, wild magics in the weapon, magics that are tied in some elemental fashion to time and place.

Your voice strains to overcome the protective properties of a spiked eonake morning star. An image, faint at first, forms slowly in your mind. An ancient forge lit by a small, white hot fire. A leather-aproned dwarf, hammer in hand, squinting against the bright fire, intently examining the still hot weapon. A gentle tap here, a feathery touch there, each made with quiet confidence, each touch of hammer to weapon almost a prayer.

The scene shifts as you continue your song. A stone croft on some remote, barren mountainside. Beside the croft, a stone structure resembling a well, but filled with what appears to be peculiar orange sand. The edge of the star is immersed to the hilt in this odd sand. The dwarven smithy stands well to one side as the sand begins to roil and shift. Waves of power emanate from the sand, enveloping the weapon. Lightning flashes, flames dance around the rim of the structure, the ground rattles, wisps of icy blue fire encircle the weapon, the harsh stink of acid envelopes the area.

Thinking of buying one of those HCP resistant helms for my Warrior.

Would Crush or Lightning resistance be more useful? I keep leaning towards Lightning considering how fatal Lightning strikes to the head can be and extra magical protection is probably good, though I am unsure. Any suggestions?

Also kind of sucks if the realm based flares are only per town and not per hunting area. Was considering the sledgehammer for my Warrior - his current weapon has no flares, though, so I suppose some flares are better than no flares.

Just as your awareness begins its last feeble gutterings, like a dying candle's flame, the terrible restriction and swelling in your throat and mouth begin to ease. A weak instinctive spasm of your diaphragm pulls a thin tendril of air past enflamed tissues to starved lungs.
SIP>
Like a drowning man clinging to a thin rope in a stormy sea, you struggle to maintain the tenuous passage of air into your lungs. Each searing breath slowly grows less of a struggle with each successful inhalation through the gradually relaxing restriction of your throat.
SIP>
Finally drawing one deep, almost sufficient breath of air, you cough loudly and raspily, clearing out the last vestiges of tightness in your throat. Shakily, you open your eyes and become aware of the moisture seeping down your cheeks, a testament to the torment so recently experienced.
IP>
At last, though your breathing has returned to its prior carefree ease, you are left feeling weakened and hoarse in the wake of your ordeal.

Hm. I got the realm-flaring sledgehammer. Oddly enough, it's lighter than the maul I have currently but won't fit in my weapon displaying backscabbard - wondering if it's because there's a bug or the flare script just doesn't play nice with the backscabbard script.

In the wooden crate:
an entwined three-stranded vaalorn rod | Casts 401, 406, and 414 1x a day | (10000)
a rune-carved fireleaf wand | Casts 611, 511, and 419 1x a day | (10000)
an entwined iron and bronze rod | Casts 417 and 119 5x a day | (10000)
an entwined white and green crystal wand | Casts 509 and 606 2x a day | (10000)

do these wands cast all the spells on it once a day or just one of them 1x per day?

From the official forums: (http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Quests%60Sagas%60Events/Duskruin%20Arena/view/2002)

We're going to change the angle of how we do this high-end item list. There is no way I can limit item sales in a reasonable way to make all parties happy. I toss them on first, it rewards those that saved, I toss them on last, it opens the playing field to anyone with the time and money. The original scope was 3 certificates this time around, limited to 2 to 5 certificates total, but we're completely changing gears. I realize this is going to be pretty drastic. But due to this, we're going to offer some once in a (Elanthian) life time item opportunities.

We are going to be offering 13 limited items this time around. We are offering one of each of the following:

Item or Service Notes
Blink Weapon .......To be added to your own weapon, some restrictions may apply.
Splitter Weapon.........To be added to your own weapon, some restrictions may apply.
Bandolier Weapon.......Create a new bandolier with a newly created weapon of your choice, some restrictions may apply.
Undead Bane..........To be added to your weapon, cannot have a bane already.
Coin Hand........Creation of a new coin hand from any Elanthian race that has a hand.
Cross-Realm Transportation........Pretty self explanatory.
A Trio of Enchanting Potions........To create 8x, 9x, and 10x enchants.
Addition Weighting.......An addition 10 points, nothing over 40 points.
Addition Padding..........An addition 10 points, nothing over 40 points.
Addition Sighting..........An addition 10 points, nothing over 40 points.
Addition TD............An addition 10 points, nothing over 40 points.
Addition Defender...........An addition 10 points, nothing over 40 points. Cannot offset the Zelnorn defender properties.
Pet Phoenix..........The one that follows you around, attuned to the wearer, needs to be manually set up.

These will all be auctioned for bloodscrip on the last Sunday. Restricted to 1 per account and 1 service per item. You will need to have all the bloodscrip redeemed at the end of each auction. No exchanged of bloodscrip after the auction will be allowed. Leaving the room will disqualify you. Not having the bloodscrip redeemed shortly after the auction will also disqualify you. If you are disqualified, the person with the next highest bid will win by default. Same rules apply.

A later post:

Quick note on the bandolier weapon. The weapon is freshly made, not your own weapon. I don't want you going bananas over that. I said create a new one, but I realize it's not clear after re-reading it.

Also, these aren't certificates, these are services that need to be redeemed Sunday night.

You can split the weapon into two identical weapons. This allows players to bond (or 1625) to their weapon, and then split it to keep the bonded bonuses on the off-hand weapon also. It is primarily for dual-wielding.

I heard if you don't run the sweatshops yourself they just clone your software/hardware and make knockoffs. So we probably would need one of us to move, or a trusted adviser.

Other items that have been added

I've added several new bases of greater elemental flares (gloves, flamberge, handaxe, war hammer, awl-pike, and runestaff - 20000 bloodscrip).

I've added several bases of 5x DCP armors [7 points] (full leathers, double leathers, leather breastplate, brigandine, augmented chain, and metal breastplate - 3000 bloodscrip).

I've added back the fully unlocked pirate bandolier with the inviso-sphere feature AND have inviso-spheres for sale. I decreased the price from 12500 to 10000.

I've added a fully unlocked pelt bag that bundles (5000 bloodscrip).

I've added 2 new multi-cast wands (303, 310, 313 1x and 602, 104, 105, 207, 1x - both 10000 bloodscrip).

I've upped all of Ode To Resistance have been upped to 5x (2500 bloodscrip).

Haliste added new unlocked Fana wares (everything in the case - 2500/5000 bloodscrip).

Valyrka added the aug chain and upped all her flaring items to 5x (2500 bloodscrip).

The NerveStaff that was described glowbark but was really lor has been fixed to really be glowbark.

I think that's all our updates. I realize we didn't hit a lot of the 10k to 50k like asked, but we hustled.

Nephelem

08-21-2015, 09:41 AM

I must have read it wrong. Going back to Tamuz's post he in fact confirmed that the realm flaring weapons are NOT blessable. Sorry for the confusion. His post follows from the Duskruin thread.

Some history: Realm Weapons debuted at the 2000 auction. We brought them back for the Droughtman runs and then again for Duskruin with updates for more realms, an improved list of flares (no lightning in Solhaven which has many watery rooms, for example), and support for UAC gear.

Realm Weapons are intended to offer a good flare for every realm. It is not the optimal flare for every single hunting ground or creature you might want to kill, but it's a good, flavorful choice for each realm that won't actively set off environmental hazards. Fire and ice elementals heating and cooling gear is an environmental hazard that is up to individual hunters to deal with. A weapon that switches its flares to combat different elementals would be a neat script on its own and something I'll consider for the future, but that's outside the scope of this script. It was intended to be a serviceable weapon anywhere you go in the game.

Things that remain blessable while providing flares are incredibly rare, as that's a huge mechanical advantage over other weapons. Don't expect to see that with any sort of regularity. It's not something I'm overly interested in providing in any sort of large quantities as it makes existing gear much less desirable.

darkcipher

08-21-2015, 09:43 AM

Yeah, I just tested on the rolaren waraxe from last run, definitely not blessable.

But I added some polished vultite haubergeon (asg 15) with vacuum flares.

In addition, all items in the shop are now 5x, and script prices were adjusted accordingly.

time4fun

08-21-2015, 06:33 PM

Yes, and that's why Ironwright has to start blessed before it gets flares and not the other way around. But the point here is that some scripted flares take up the flare slot too.

Mar and Scar has the items listed but needs item info in a lot of places.
Ode to resistance is updated.
Flash of Strength is updated, but I find some of price increases odd so I'm going to ask on the officials.

That leaves the mist-blades place and spellbound needing updated, unless there have been other changes I don't know about.

Roblar

08-22-2015, 02:46 AM
