Why can't I melt down my crown? When I type melt crown, it performs an emote instead. ohmy.gif


You need to drop the items in the Jewelry Room in order to melt them down. Then pick up the comms

I'm trying to design a beast that will help with bashing and with influencing. The skills I think I need to train: riding (10), regen health and ego (80), trotting (30), influence empower and begging (100), healing health and ego (200), and bodyguard (150). That totals up to 570. Any advice? Do I need swimming to keep my beast from drowning? Or is it ultimately more worth it to have one beast for bashing, one for influencing?
Zallafar2009-05-30 21:38:53
I don't think you need regen health unless your beast will itself be attacked. Beast heal health uses beast ego, not beast health.

To some extent, any body trains detract from healing because that means you will have less beast ego than if you did only 100% spirit trains. In a spar, I easily run my beast out of its 15000 ego (I have 600 spirit trains) just healing my health. I don't use my beast for bashing so I don't know if the same drain would occur.

Also, you don't need to ride your beast to help with influencing and healing. I never ride my wyvern except when I want to fly. And following me when I waterwalk my beast has never started to drown. Riding him into water would be a different matter, I assume.

Anyone know any non-loyal faelings, lucidians or taurians discounting the pilgrims which wander around?
Zalandrus2009-05-31 02:01:37
Ah, I didn't know healing health drew on ego. And the regen health was thrown in because the beast still takes health damage from bodyguard, right?

And Zallafar, yea, I know mount probably isn't that useful, but as a kephera monk, I have no way of flying, so I was hoping to use my eagle for that...I'm reconsidering if I want one mega-beast though.

I'm not familiar with bodyguard; you could be right.

And I didn't want to give up flying either, which is why I got a wyvern since they have flying and mount for free. But if eagles had been available then I probably would have gotten an eagle. They are so cool!

Do you mean that you can attack and not get enemied to something? To my knowledge, there aren't any of those for those races that I can think of, but I may be wrong-- there are a few corners of the Basin I haven't explored yet.
Casilu2009-05-31 02:43:53
No to all three. I'm pretty sure there aren't any.
Esano2009-05-31 02:47:28
If you're just interested in ones that won't get you enemied to an org, however, there are the taurian hunters (Verasavir and Snow Valley) and the lucidian observatory people. Can't think of any faelings.

BodyGuard doesn't take beast health.

And poo on the non-existence of non-loyal race things.

Don't feel bad, pixies are only in Serenwilde! I found this out within the last month, it drove me mad.

You could add the Lucidians in the Mesa to that list as well. But yeah, I don't think there are any faelings that do not live in the communes. I don't think there's even any on the Ethereal plane.

Though it's wierd that there aren't any pixies there, as Miakoda tells you that the pixies wandered off the ethereal plane, and you're actually bringing them back.

Good news!!

(Other than somebody directly attacking your pet then, in what other ways can it lose health? Hm...)

Four are embodied with their own elemental planes. I think there's a book in the IG libraries with the theory that there are possibly as many elemental planes as there are elements (including ones not currently known). If you take it at a stretch, it might even be possible that there are para-elemental planes.

The elements that the Harmony mantras refer to (spirit and heart) don't seem to be elemental "elements", but more like elements of the person/being.

EDIT: And going off what Shiri said, there's an inference that Wood is some subset or essence related to the Ethereal plane and that Metal is related in a similar way to Earth.


There are only four elements. Earth, Air, Water and Fire. Wood, Spirit, Etc. Aren't elements. They're just compounds and mixtures.

Metal is elemental Earth. However, Geomancers cannot meld/manipulate metallic things because A] You cannot get blood/spit/taint-juice into metallic objects and therefore cannot meld with them, B] none of the Earth Lords are metallic for the same reason as A and C] that would be OP so Estarra doesn't let us. sad.gif

You have lodestone though.

How many elements are there in Lusternia?

1. Is it just four? (Earth, Air, Fire, Water)?
2. Is it five? (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit)?
3. Is it seven? (Wind, Water, Fire, Wood, Metal, Heart, Spirit)?

Or is it both 2 and 3 or both 1 and 3, or 1, 2, and 3?


If you combine all the elemental, Captain Planet comes.

The physical and chemical properties of refined iron are quite different from those of various forms of iron ore, including magnetite. It's like comparing aluminum with buaxite or fire with wood.
