  • Speaking of High Seas Beta, does anyone still have the video of former lead Calvin at the HS Meet & Greet in Fairfax pulling a Lord British, forgetting to set God Mode, and getting blown away as he sailed to the buoy line of the Emporium, where …
  • My main caster template uses a event ring from a couple years ago that is like an improved Crystalline Ring (Katalkotl's Ring) that you can choose the casting skill for The skills on the character are 120 Magery 120 Mysticism (100+20) 120 Spellweav…
  • Don't forget that you can make a 120 Disco Cu sidhe, if you're going to use one of the other masteries (like Taming or Provo)
  • I've had several items (not just gems) do that - I also had a "Feathered Hat" line item change to "Tricorne hat" Immediately on my buying the Feathered hats, today.
  • I was the first or second to accept, actually. 7 of the 8 cities had governors, last I checked - and it was 8/8 before the election.  One of my other characters on the same account as the governor transferred with a shard shield to a different sha…
  • I'm having that problem on a character. Character on account that owns/built house. Character has existed since March or April 2003. House is 17x18 or thereabouts custom (house next door was 1 square too close 10+ years ago when I built for 18x18) …
  • I was the ONLY governor on LA it happened to. The majority of the governors actually hunt with each other several times a week. I got the title back when the election was over, but for several days I couldn't do my duties, and was getting questions…
  • Apparently, my reply hit the size limit, and even the Draft got truncated, so, here's the last two sections as a separate reply... 7. Carpentry: Ouch.... a. There should logically be a Woodland Armor LBOD, but there isn't. So many of the colored s…
  • At this point what I want from BODs... 1. Tailor: A COMPLETE REVAMP of point values, to line up with the other 7 skills. a. Tailor BODs need to be 50% Exceptional, instead of the 33% that was apparently instituted when the BODs went live, but no …
  • I had a character disappear in transit after midnight. Still waiting for word, though I got a message that the situation had been "escalated"
  • Yep, and at the meeting, they didn't seem then to realized what I was describing - so it surprised me that they mentioned a fix for the publish (that doesn't seem to have helped). The Britain Guard zone, on most shards, ends at reasonable spots at …
  • I had a character disappear in transit between shards last night (about 3-4 hours before your post here). It still hasn't arrived. This issue is probably related. I can't even remember which shard I was going to at this point (I had tokens for Drach…
  • Kyronix said: Puzzle boxes have turned off as of December 1st, the hidden chests will continue until Publish 103 goes world wide.  Sorry for the confusion, will update the notes accordingly. Please fix them to at least work as they were or…
  • The imbuing ingredients are extremely low compared to what they should be - especially the ones that are also alchemy ingredients (parasitic plant, luminous fungi). they should be at WORST half what the wood/ingot/stone payouts are. The only things …
  • Yes, this is annoying.  Devs, when reverting the puzzle chests to a "non-cult-item" state, it should not mean ""Breaking them again to where 90% of the time when you open them they are empty, because the 'loot repopulate' timer is different from th…
  • The chests relock after a random amount of time, if not looted empty before they despawn. Even the Puzzle Chests can undergo a conventional re-lock, requiring the chest to be picked to finish looting it, well before it actually resets to a new tumbl…
  • Kyronix said: This change is gump specific - so right now it works with anything that shares the gumps the crate or bank box use.  We may add additional larger versions of specific gumps in the future based on player feedback.   Kyronix: …
  • On LA, I was able to loot that chest - the issue might just be a local one.
  • HOWEVER, it's STILL not working. On Lake Austin, I went in to Fel Khaldun and tried to pop the spawn. It told my character (with knight of valor) that the idol had "already been challenged", the message you get when you try to elevate a spawn that'…
  • If your Khaldun appears to be missing hidden boxes, try opening up the sealed room - I've found as many as SEVEN boxes in there, after they became scarce in the halls - and once those were cleared, they respawned in the halls.
  • Note, the jewelry LBODs are only with the gems, which means that they will max out at 250 points. They are really only good for banking for 50 points - however, if you save up BODs, they are easy to fill.
  • What reforged Items I have, only one or two have been enhanced, and that was because I was trying to fit them into a suit were one resist was 3 or 4 off. The old "Has to be enhanced" BS is pretty much part and parcel of the "reforging for 150 luck"…
  • Don't forget you have to have Imbuing to REFORGE. And, unlike imbued items, reforged items can be overcapped, and be powdered. You can also reforge items for 1-2 properties, then powder, imbue and enhance them.
  • I got my talisman from donating scales to the Animal guy upstairs - each scale is 20 points, so that's 27,500 scales. I was getting all kinds from skinning dragons for barbed leather, as well as from sea serpents with my fisher. That's not counting …
  • Near as I can tell, only the BASE Wild Staff and (for bowcraft) magical shortbow/elven longbow smalls are bribable. The ones requiring recipe items do not, and the bug is that the larges can sometimes be bribed past base wood.
  • Gargs have wings, able to use the pathways at home to fly high above threats. It may not have ever occurred to them to magically transport by means other than fixed teleporters. That said, I would really like to see Chivalry, Bushido and Ninjitsu f…
  • I wonder if the devs would consider opening up TC1's Green Acres for Castle build testing? If anything, those would be easier to find for judging.
  • Also note that Bowcraft, while it doesn't have an accelerated gain quest, is the only crafting skill you can do that you can train from bought or starting (using a custom template) skill all the way to Grandmaster, just doing Heartwood quests - with…
  • Over a decade ago, one of the devs brought up a possibility of having LRC affect inscription (for the regs, not the blank scrolls; was also mentioned for alchemy) at a "Real total-100" level. While that was shot down then (rightly so), it would be…
  • If by some chance you have High Seas enabled on your alchemist's account, making black powder and fuses for the cannon are an excellent (if expensive) way of training. Though, if you have saltpeter stockpiled from niter deposits, maybe not so expens…
