I wish the descriptions were more specific. I mean... exactly how much faster is the dimensional needle? And does it apply to cancelling gates too?
Soll2006-07-04 14:35:36
I agree. It would be nice to have more specific descriptions, as well as a slightly more general use for some of these things. Would be nice if the Crystal ball let you see people on your enemy list enter, also.
Sylphas2006-07-04 15:06:07
I'm still waiting for some that will go cheap, or in large enough multiples to drive the price down a bit. Just small things, but neat.

Oh, and pining over that Wand of Ice I'll never have. sad.gif Make it a normal arti so I can save up and get one!

There were spectacles in the last auction that allowed for the enemy list entrance detection. I don't think it would be right to now change the crystal ball to be able to do both.

Well, Karrah, There are your keyrings. Not actual rings, per se, but same thing.
Unknown2006-07-04 17:08:37
Thank you for making the keyrings! (Keystone, whatever)

that was for your local area, this is for logging in.

I wish I was yrael, so I would have a nice list of people who need keystones, which means its a nice thing to steal.. tongue.gif

I hope some of these artifacts are introduced as regular artifacts.

Problem with making auctions regular arties is that because they go to obscene prices in the auction, the normal versions will almost always be cheaper, meaning that the people who won them in the auction will feel ripped off.
Ialie2006-07-04 20:33:54
I think that is the point of the auctions here. As tuek said, you pay for having a rare artifact for the first time.

Exactly. Everyone should expect that some point or later, they could become regular artifacts. Don't be upset, just know it now. I've had it happen to me, and I didn't care. It's to be expected.

Don't whine. And if you do, I'm sure Murphy would come offer you a can of harden up.

Oh please please please make the Wand of Ice a normal arti! *beg*

Heheh, that's asking a bit much. Usually the ones that are less powerful or not directly related to combat (like not offensive) are usually made into regular artifacts. But who knows... it could be one day.

Ah, yea. My mistake.
Soll2006-07-04 21:44:12
I expect the Aetheric Keystones will be made into regular artifacts at some point. Not sure about the others.

Oh! And the magic soap, of course. laugh.gif

Sigil of Possession
When attached to an item, that item will now return to you (even an artifact owned by someone else!). At the weave, the sigil will unattach from the "possessed" item, and if that item was an artifact it will immediately return to its owner.

I think this would be kind of cool. You can attach it to any one of your items to have it reset, or borrow a cubix/prism and keep it for the rest of the weave.

Though I guess it would kind of hurt to have someone steal an infinite vial... no more health/mana/bromides until the weave! Unless the sigil takes 10 seconds to attach. Hrm...
