Have REFILL check for items that are empty first, before giving up and declaring that the item must be emptied (just because it's the first found).

Why not just use refill empty?

=( What was the reason for the shooting down?

In addition to what was previously posted, the main reason is that no one would want that. At one point, we were forced to add an unneeded "utility" effect to get around this, but that didn't actually seem to help.

People don't seem to want over half of the things offered by artisans :shrug: Being uber expensive doesn't help. Sigh I always would've liked to have a proper gallery or sitting room where things can be put in displays and on surfaces instead of strewn haphazardly over the floor!

I'm pretty sure Xiel has used an envoy report to put the cartel marks on things.


(Speaking of envoy reports, I need an idea for this month. People give me ideas. )


Ectoplasm > Mucous while cleansing.
Change hekoskeri function.
Change mucous to herb cure.
Revert Greywhispers duration.
Hallifax beckon
Sentinel buffs
etc

The ability to put a full wedding ensemble on display would be very nice. This way, I can hang up the dress and it would be all pretty (along with the shoes, veil, gloves, and choker)

Make a painting!
Shulamit2011-01-03 18:30:01
It's what I plan on doing, since I can't seem to actually get ahold of my whole wedding ensemble, sadly. But if I were to describe the entire outfit, that would be a huge painting, given the descriptions of all the parts.

Been trying the last one, still can't figure out the best way to implement what I wanted. sad.gif


Though, I like the beckon idea.

Things to envoy, things to envoy...

Let's give Aquamancers a way to take down stonewalls.

Make Preserve in Aquamancy so that either the victim needs to be under 75% of health, or can be preserved if they are chilled (or at least a lower rank of being frozen).

On an unrelated note, I'd like to see the beast attack type for the Aquamancy turtle to be a frost-based attack, not fire.

Edit: Oh, never mind. You meant frozen AND 75% of health. Gotcha.

Edit: Even so, do report aquamancy. Four preserve reports (and more reports for any one skillset than I can remember).

Don't think it would be allowed to be limited to Aquas and there's already crashing.

Changing the attack type was already tried, only change was damage was increased.

Four reports and the kill is nigh impossible to pull off. It's seriously only useful for damage, and even then it'd be better to go for other instas or help others get the kill.

1. Then increase effectiveness of blasthorn.

2. Fire damage in no way fits Aquamancer RP.

3. It's not impossible but at this point difficult given TP tertiary.

Not me you have to convince, and I've got my own changes I want to push through, but there are quite a few changes that I believe need to be made and limited envoy reports, so it will take time to push through.

I know, I'm close to giving up on Preserve, since to even get close to getting it you'd either need several Aquas or just spamming the attack as much as possible, wasting just about all your power trying to get it.

REFILL EMPTY works perfectly.

I suspect that you have in your inventory a bucket or some other empty item that can be filled, but not with potions. Otherwise you would not be having an issue. I use refill empty all the time.

Geomancy has the best and most reliable instakill.
Next up is Aquas, because multiple mages can preserve. Consider also you can alteraura fire, wait for demesne hit, beast spit mactans + preserve. Don't know if that'll kill them or not.
Aeromancy and Pyromancy are in the trash bin of instakills.

Preserve also requires them to be at 50% or less of their hps. That's the tricky part. I'd say preserve is way worse than cremate, but still better than the aero one.

I've seen more people pull off cremate - but I think it also has to do with the fire weakness nearly every race has.

Because my 'opal' vials are mana, and my 'bloodstone' are healing, ect. So when I lose a bloodstone vial in decay, I can just buy another then spam 'refill bloodstone from healing' or at least I /could/ if it didn't register my first, refilled bloodstone as the one I wanted. Seems like it makes sense to do it differently.
