What about a glyph of recall? Drop glyph in a room, then when you want to come back, you say your special word.(Which can be changed.) And boom, you recall. Can be done as often as it resets to you, as dropping the glyph makes it go poof. Then once it resets, you can rinse and repeat.

What about a jewel of escape, too? When you're about to die(as in, you have 500hp, and joe merian staff casts you for 1000) it teleports you to safety instead of you dieing! To safety = one room away. The jewel is destroyed when this happens though.. and you gotta wait for it to reset to work again.

Personalized artifact clothes because we can, i mean who doesn't want a cool pair of fire proof pants? It'd be a hit i tells you, a Hit! laugh.gif

Well other then that a Tome of sorts, lets make all the guilds pay for their library! ninja.gif Well maybe a personalized tome, for manses and such for those who dont want to pay for a Library if Manses can get them, Down Richter, Down!

The Jewel of Escape would be a bit over powered, since you'd basically be like, run into Demon Lord/Lady, Supernal, Avatars, Solo it, nearly die, get out, go back, die, vitae/lich/what ever kill it then run off, basically meaning you have two life saving thingys, maybe have it work once per month or something like the Cameo.

A Ritualist's Dagger, A) Because it'd look cool, cool.gif Because we need one, every ritual needs a dagger in it somehow, why not have one and c) Cause i can stab stuff with it wub.gif

It'd be cool to have clothes that morphed (ie. you could change their descriptions and names) although it'd put tailors out of business (especially if you could have fireproofing on them and whatnot), so it'd have to be expensive.

I want an artifact that lets me vine/torc/growth/curse with my cudgel, so I don't have to juggle a shield/cudgel/sickle.

We should ban all those retarded artifacts that copy guildskills instead!

And have some unique stuff...like:

Mask of the Chameleon. -1000 credits.

Wear this mask, and TOUCH MASK . This will change your local appereance to that of a specific person, you can only be targetted by your real name, but you will appear as another person if those around you QL or LOOK.

So basically, invincibility until you attack.
Ceres2005-04-17 22:44:23
Or emote.

Or say anything.
Shiri2005-04-17 22:47:42
Or that. Nasty for spying though.

How about an artifact that reduces the cost of Karma blessings, or removes their upkeep cost?

It wouldn't effect the cost to curse someone or remove a curse however.

I can't put into words how much it frustrates me trying to keep my karma up as a Seren. I'm not sure if I'm missing some easy karma that everyone knows about, but I'm hovering around 5%, trying to upkeep one blessing. My Celestian alt could easily handle 2, maybe 3, just from whoring supplicants, yet I can't seem to handle one as a Seren.

A cloak that shows me as "a shadowy figure" when I walk in, out, when the room is looked at. This status is removed if I perform an agressive action. Totems are not fooled by it, etc.

No karma artifacts!

Instead of having every a skill to break a Demesne, make it an artifact or something, lets you remove one room, reverting it back to it's -natural- form, hint natural there, thus tainted forest, goes back to tainted forst. tongue.gif

Why not? It'd just make it easier to maintain blessings by removing the upkeep cost and/or making them cheaper. Though I'm all for removing the upkeep cost. There's no reason why an artifact couldn't do this.
Thorgal2005-04-21 10:17:58
If they would want karma blessings to be easily kept, they wouldn't have given them an upkeep at all...karma artifacts are even worse than stat-altering artifacts. Upkeep should even be increased, so it's impossible having more than one or two blessings at any given time without running out of karma real quick.

Ummm.. not really. There is one +2 intelligence blessing. The others have very negligble results when it comes to PK. The others like Harmony, Justice, etc, are not to important. You can already keep the PK related ones easily. It's just when you try to add in Harmony, Nature, etc that you can't.
Thorgal2005-04-21 14:56:12
Heh, you're just trying to make blessings seem less effective so you can walk around with all 7 of them.

Knowledge blessing adds two intelligence.

War blessing significantly increases all damage you do.

Justice blessing makes all kinds of damage done against you rebound on them.

Life blessing significantly boosts your max health.

Those are certainly NOT negligable for PK.

Justice blessing I've tested. It does ~56 damage to my attacker doing a ~1.1k damage attack. Useless.

Life blessing? Puh lease, 300 life does not make or break anything. I could just get a torc, rather then spend credits on making it easier to get a blessing that wears off and takes work and effort to get it.

Anyway, if you count life, that makes the big three being Intelligence, War, and Life. I never bother with war, because again, Moonburst is no Aquamancer staff. Anyway, I have absolutely no trouble with keeping three blessings on me at a time anyway. I usually have Intelligence, Harmony, and Life. All the others are not particularily useful, and I can have the supposedly most important three without much effort. 800 credits to remove the upkeep (thus allowing the other blessings to be had at once) would certainly not be too powerful, and you'd still have them decay before you could get them all. It would barely be worth the 800 credits.

Edit: What I'm saying is, they certainly would not be worse stat-altering artifacts in any way, shape, or form. The bonuses would not be as good as stat-artifacts, and you still have the time limit and work aspect associated with obtaining them.

Then why would you need artifacts to make it even easier?
Yiaxu2005-04-21 23:08:58
Maybe an artifact of karma that increases your karma like the powerplex jewels do for power. Though, you wouldn't be able to stack karma regen, that would be massively overpowered.

An perhaps at a lessened cost, Tuek, maybe an artifact to support a single blessing.. "Earrings of Karma" : Allows you to select and maintain a single karma blessing at no karma cost. These stack, but you can only wear two at a time.
