Esteem!

Godfeelings is an OOC command, seeing as how it measures the time your favour remains in hours and not days, so I'd presume in character feelings of Divine are irrelevant on the subject.

Esteem will fill just as fast as essence from corpses, because experience = corpse essence = esteem.


Actually, no. However essence from corpses is equal to the essence from an item imbued with the esteem gained from influencing the mob that the corpse came from. Did that make sense?

That's what I meant. Just didn't explain too well.
Essence from the corpse of the being = esteem gained by influencing the being

I'm excited too!! Wheee! What kind of items are imbue-able? Now I can finally start offering things! wub.gif cloud9.gif

I got 13% karma or so for offering a 69% imbued cookie, for reference biggrin.gif

I almost spammed heartstop when I saw it, then I realized it had nothing to do with Aetolia's esteem system. Worst. Thing. Ever.


I liked my permanent divine set level 9 esteem, thank you.

Yay! I think I'm going to like this. smile.gif I usually don't have time to hunt, but I empower our guards and such when I'm wandering around tending to other things.

Yay! Lovely new addition. I can't wait to try it out.
Jalain2006-02-06 04:51:26
Woot! I've been waiting for this since I first joined Auseklis' Order. This is pretty much all I asked for in my idea post a long while back.
Thank you, Lisaera/whoever else had a hand in coding it!

I really think this is a great addition to the realm. Influencing is something that I felt was lacking for those who like to use it instead of fighting. I feel this goes a good way towards helping that situation out.

Is Terentia back? Wasn't she in a the void or somewhere hugging Fain?
Shakaya2006-02-06 14:07:11
I think I've figured out how the karma is dished up for offering, and I love the whole thing in general. happy.gif wub.gif

I... Love... This... Now I can steal from Fae AND get essene! W00t! Go Karma!!

Branches from nearby trees have been collected and woven up on the top of the totem pole below, creating an enormous nest. Bits of carrion and rotting flesh have been stuck in between the branches, filling the air with a stench that makes the eyes water. Flies buzz around the nest in a black cloud, and greasy black feathers litter the bottom.
It holds 67 portions of various carrion.
It weighs about 600 pounds.
It is imbued with 0% esteem.


So... uh... anyone care to tell me how I can offer my nest? smile.gif

You're not stealing from fae knights... you are convincing them that you are very poor and need some help, and hopefully they didn't see you just take off your tons of gems and place them in your golden backback beforehand biggrin.gif

Anyone got any numbers on how much essence 100% Esteem is worth? Just wondering because I am half way there and want to know how much its gonna give when I offer it.

Actually one other thing. Please tell me you can't use items imbued with essence to defile, because if you can that would probably knock a shrine down in one hit...
Tsuki2006-02-07 17:34:26
Essence, no idea. Not able to see, and I'm not sure who if anyone of the Order I could pester to check. I've offered two flowers so far, both imbued with 100% esteem. Loving this smile.gif

The percentage is calculated from an amount, it is rounded to a percent, that just means you have less than a hundredth of what you could offer, it doesn't mean that there's nothing there.

As for the maximum offerable per item, as some people have already discovered it's 65535, and I bet anyone who is binary-savvy will know why.

There's seems to be a weird issue I've found. If I imbue an item with 50% esteem, when I probe it, it shows its imbued with 49%, even though it took 50% from me. Is there supposed to be a 1% loss in the transfer?
