And glad to see you back up Richter. You and a few others from Seattle haven't been seen since the hurricane winds hit you the other day.


Yeah, we were only out for a day or so, they estimated 4-5 days, because they thought the main power line to our island was down.

I'm not sure how much more specific it can get than "You see what you'd see if you were there."


Guess we will see now won't we.

Yeah willpower one would be good for tracking and dreamweaving, and an endurance one would be a good way to nullify severphrenic, puncture lung, tumble.... one time a day smile.gif

edit - Oh yeah and to be able to shout alot more than one normally would by refreshing their endurance too heh.

The crystal ball would be a lot nicer if it didn't show people's titles in the message when they leave and enter the realms.

Agreed. It'd also be nice to be able to set its color. Right now it just sort of gets lost in my color configuration!

I really don't understand why so many of these artis are auction only. 99% of them are something that should be sold regularly. The only exception is maybe the rez amulet and the magic monocle and the endless vials. It's kind of annoying cause a lot of them are really good.
Clise2006-12-17 13:39:16
Stuff like the illusion wand, pet, rez amulet are one time only auction artifacts. Things like wings, maw and shroud are considered auction staples and will be there on every auction in limited quantities. Something like that at least

This is probably a way for them to gauge value and assign an appropriate credit price.

The Seeing Stone functions very much like Vodun/Puppet Look from Achaea. It's like being able to use the LOOK command when you scry someone.

Right, except the "auction staples" are standard artis that offer standard functionality and should be available for a set price.

We did add a few from previous objects as permanent objects. I may add a few more permanent next month after these auctions if there really is an interest in seeing them permanent and it isn't imbalancing.

I think people would be hugely appreciative if you made things like the wings and such normal artifacts. Those things really wouldn't be unbalancing, and variety in Bob's shop is always nice.

Btw.. can we get artifact dice here? They mention them in the helpfiles, but they don't actually exist here.. which I thought was strange.

The faerie wings ought to be the first to go on regular sale. I'm baffled as to why they haven't been available since the beginning.

Endless vials would be awsome, I don't really so how they could be very imbalancing if they're priced at 500 credits each.

This vial has been crafted from a lustrous gold. Inscribed around its rim is runic script that glows with an inner light. There is no stopper upon this vial, though liquid sloshes around on the inside. Amazingly, the liquid never pours out even if the vial is held upside down.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Spirit Warden Xenthos, the Ebon Strategist.
A potion of healing sloshes about in it.

artifact vial value
A shimmering golden vial currently costs 40 credits. It will trade in for 26 artifact credits.

They're unbalanced because they're priced at 40 credits. ninja.gif

My first character was around when those were sold about a year ago. I'd kill for one now...

Same, between astrology and my hunting trips, it would be nice, though now that I think about it, I rarely go below 5k will.

Edit: The endurance one would be good too, for shouting tongue.gif

If the liquid never pours out, even if you hold it upside down, htf do you sip it? O_o
