There's also the tiny bonus you get from teaching novices. After about a million you could trans a skill

And you can get a lot of skills only from IC credits.
Im fine example for it. No single credit bought OOC.

Keep in mind that i switched to 3rd guild now. Celstine -> Paladin -> Aquamancer
Changed a lot of skills during this. Ouch those lessons lose at begining of game, its much easier now.
Reincarnated 4 times and had to use Dagger of Reincarnation for that (100cr for each).
Dracnari -> Merian -> Igasho -> Human -> Aslaran -> Merian -> Faeling

a gem of cloaking 400cr

This small, white translucent gemstone has a flat top and a multi-faceted sides. The gem doesn't seem to be worth much, and you cannot identify what sort of gem it is. From the looks of it, the gem merely looks like white-colored quartz. The only
clue that the gem is perhaps something more is the soft white nimbus that is emanating from it. The word 'Tulahuar' is etched into it in minute script.
It weighs 4 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Aqua Adept Ekard.
It is imbued with 0% esteem.

a golden paintbrush 400cr

The paintbrush has a thin handle of delicate blond wood. Bound by a platinum band, the bristles are very fine golden hairs that are cut into a very sharp point. Small etchings are along the shaft of the handle, and the entire paintbrush glows with a
soft ambient power.
It is strangely weightless.
It bears the distinctive mark of Aqua Adept Ekard.
It is imbued with 0% esteem.

And a one room aether ship.

Dont worry! You can fully do it, even if youre crap at making gold IG. smile.gif Hopefully your guild and city sells credits more often. That makes it easier. wink.gif

Last city credit sale, I splurged, 65000 for 25 creds, then guild credit sale (max 40000 for 20 creds), but was too soon after and ran out of money and lasted about three days sad.gif. But they're still really cheap smile.gif.

Gandal2006-10-18 03:01:33
Which is...longer than Lusternia has existed? huh.gif
Unknown2006-10-18 04:01:43
No one has above around 300-350 days I bet, Tervic was joking, just because Ekard's an old oldbie.

If you do, they return to you when they reset. That's pretty much the main use I've had for my pipes, to hold esteem when I've gotten on a roll with influencing. biggrin.gif Smoke 'em? Psh, that's for people who actually cure things ... or something. happy.gif
Unknown2006-10-18 04:14:09
It's a valid way to use artifacts, just remember you won't have the use of them for up to around 30 minutes until they reset. When they return to you they will be cleared of esteem, so it's not abuse, you've paid more for that item, and it has the added bonus of being able to hold your esteem for you.
Ekard2006-10-18 05:42:01
Heh. That is not my real playing time.
I will post mine when i get back to home and will be able to log in.
Unknown2006-10-18 15:14:59
So I think we've come to the conclusion that yes, without buying any form of credit (IC or OOC), you cannot Trans in a skill, even if you pour every single lesson into that one skill.

confirmed.gif

wacko.gif ~3,948 hours or 236,882 minutes or 14,212,920 seconds...
Shryke2006-10-20 00:21:43
that means you've been on the game for 1/6 of the day since day 1 pretty much.. INSANE!

Hmm.

I should get a present in a few hours. ninja.gif

The Myth is that you can't trans something without even buying credits IC? Well, of course you can't. However, the lesson bonus from binding your first 1,000 credits is not to be ignored. There's an extra 2,500 lessons right there!

I'm in the same boat as Ekard, basically. Trans everything (except Dramatics, which I'm slowly learning as I feel like it because I don't really know if I plan to use it at all), runed weapons, Gloves of Harvesting, fesix backpack, Brooch of the Tempest, collar for my steed, and enchantment runes for about 8 pieces of jewelry. It's very doable if you know how and are willing to put in the effort.
Gandal2006-10-27 21:40:30
So you've made millions of gold IG? wacko.gif The most gold I've ever had legitimately (once was a bug) is ~94,000, on an influencing alt...

EDIT: And please elaborate on the know-how part pray.gif
Ildaudid2006-10-27 23:56:57
You can also blame the credit market and people who have made it stay at its insane rate... That makes it harder for people to buy IG credits... and when there is a city sale, all people do is buy them cheap and sell them high... they should make city sale credits become bound or something hehe that would teach them bastards biggrin.gif
