Sounds about right. What were you expecting with just +2 to the stat, especially at the higher end of the parabolic curve? Cut your influencing time in half?

Xiel's the trill demi, and he's got beauty so thank him. Also, trans influence if you haven't. Seriously worth it.

Ooh neat, thanks Xiel!

And parabolic curve... I thought that meant that the numbers became even greater the higher they go (like exponential), unless the parabola was on its side. Uh... =S Though yeah, I was hoping that maybe influencing would be a little faster, enough to catch up with PvE, but perhaps I shall put more lessons into influence then

Edit:
The Voice of Rhapsody bows to you - the lesson in Influence is over.
Your skill in Influence has risen to Transcendent.

Woot, it cut down influence attacks by 2! Thanks for the tip Rika =D
(what does the trans skill drain though... willpower?)

Dark metal has been roughly forged to form the terrifying Medallion of a
Thousand Stings. Several protrusions explode from a circular centre, equipped
with sharp clasps to firmly attach it to whatever it is being worn from.
Unintelligible symbols extend from the farthest protrusions inwards, circling
around a gem of pitch black that is fixed into the centre. The stygian gem seems
to shift and writhe with each passing moment, while still maintaining its shape.
It weighs 4 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Synl Nimaet, The Hidden Messiah.

Ragged leather has been bound together to form the grisly Chronicles of
Nightmares. The pages within are extraordinarily thin, and yellowed with time.
The cover is a fusion of worn leather and dark wood. The wood wraps around the
edges of the chronicles, forming arcane images of unspeakable horrors
culminating in the imposing image of the scorpion at its very center, poised to
strike.
It weighs about 6 pounds.
It bears the distinctive mark of The Father of Nightmares, Ashteru d'Illici,
Avatar of the Enigma.

Rave to Lusternia in general. Leaving and coming back does wonders.

I really like having my heart race fighting groups alone.. it's a caffeine pill on crack.. mmm.

Fun!

Shouldn't that be grisly, or is the Chronicles of Nightmares bear-like?

Meticulously woven from the darkest of cloths, the Venomous Sash of Sorrow is nearly five inches in width and much longer in length. The tenebrous material is loosely tied at one end so that it may be worn across the shoulder and chest, down to the
hip. Gold stitching runs across the entire length of the sash. Along the back are shadowy symbols representing the dark practices of the Nekotai while the front bears the image of the scorpion, surrounded by stitched branches.
It weighs 10 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Kaervas d'Murani, the Tenebrous Wrath.

Even my GC arti is emo.

Nerf Ixion! Steal his new weapons! Get rid of him, so we can continue to grief Mag unopposed!

Is it really that great to utterly dominate 100% of the time? If this keeps up how boring will Lusternia be with only one city? You'll have no one to grief, no one to moan about, no one to legitimately hate.. I don't know about you but that'd suck.

Well...well...You're ugly! how about that?

(All in all, this was just a joke, Good to have you back, Mag needed ya)

I told you the GC title should've been "Bringer of Sorrow."

Ixion made my axe, and I made his.... father son forging makes for nice weapons sometimes.

What are you reading?

Pfft. It -was- grizzly rather than grisly, according to Ash's post. Hmph.

I smell Ninja God Altering

A rave for Anisu, just because

Harbingers:

Nocht: or

Harbingers:

(Aka, Nocht for having what Kharaen calls a sing-for-me-or-I'll-smite-you-contest, Virilen, Maellio and Kharaen for awesome songs in the contest and keeping as all from getting smote.)

Balizar, for being a damned decent human being. (and not calling avenger on me cuz of a bug)
