Those earrings of sinope were some of the most annoying artifacts in existence in Achaea. All you had to do was wear one, give the other to another person, and then one of you could go into enemy territory, kill some people, and instantly be summoned out. An artifact like that just won't go with the world of Lusternia.

A Bridle of (something that sounds nifty) - (for an amount of credits I'd prolly either estimate at way to high or way too low!)

When your mount wears the Bridle of (something that sounds nifty), you're less likely (maybe 20%?) to fall off your mount when doing things that normally cause you to fall, and your mount will have a resistance (level 1 or 2 maybe?) to abilities which would spook them.

Yes please! I'd buy credits MUCH more often if I could get these everynow and then!

Have Brooch of the Tempest (or an upgraded version, Brooch of something-something) dodge those?

I think the admin said that one is impossible.

How about this variation on the much-loathed earrings, that I think will fit into Lusternia:

Aetheric Echo Earrings: These earrings are capable of amplifying aetheric transmissions over great planar distances. Once per Lusternian day, you can RETUNE EARRING to tune your earring to connect to the earring of another person who is in the same location as you; they have to AGREE, which also retunes their earring to yours. Thenceforth, you may completely ignore the limitations of planar distances when sending tells to that person; plus, even if one of you is deaf, they will still hear tells from the other.

Alert Horns
Several types available-
A Saberthooth Horn, A Gold Plated Horn, A Brass Horn Lined with Gems, etc...
Horn Salute
When turned on, and you log in, a CT message has something like "A triumphant blast of a horn over the aethers heralds the return of Nerra."
BLOW
- Can be done off balance
- sends a message to all mutual allies/everyone in the area - "You hear a distressed hornblast from Nerra!"
- Allows someone to SHOUT at half edurance

Bow and Arrows - 500 credits
Shoot AT
A basic ranged attack (piercing). Must be wielded to use, requires to hands. Damage: 500 + 50 per point of dex

I'd break that horn.

let us quantify that shall we. 500 + 50 * 15 = 1250

now my cudgel at 16 in and a rune of estoric authority = +- 700 damage (it goes from 500-900 depending on the bleeding)

I would hate to see an artifact that does more damage then a high level guild skill.

Not to mention people like me who have 21 dex base.

point taken. Note: since there is no piercing, I meant cutting. Maybe make it dex *50. Then we'd be looking at 750 and even with normal great robes that'd fall to around 488 if we assume they only have even 35% cutting resist (most people have much more)

488 damage, even ranged, is pointless.

Make them envenomable and change the damage to poison damage and we're going somewhere with this.

We're also copying other IRE's.

Magical butterfly-attracting flower
Estarra walks in from the east, surrounded by a cloud of butterflies.

Double-headed coin
If its in your inventory, flipping a coin will always come up heads.

Water lily
A pretty flower. Oh, and you can squirt people with it.

Orb of Crumkane
You can summon a sugar sprite (or spice pixie) that makes a random sweet once per .

Surfboard
Gives waterwalking.
Jitwix surfs in from the south.

Now there's a thought.

A limited release artifact that allows you to customize entrance/exit messages with approval.

I would love this more if it were customizable... or the butterflies were rainbow (you just know ialie would win it)

For some reason I like the idea of a snowglobe that acts like the mirror on the moon bubble (except prime locations, no villages or orgs)

shake it, the image swirls and you can touch it when it settles to teleport to the location displayed

Maybe a set scrying thing? You set it up like a pyramid, but it scries the location when you shake it. Like a seeing stone and a pyramid put together in some sort of round pyramid.

Not sure if this was mentioned exactly...but maybe a little rune for manses. It can be set to give a message in a room once every X minutes. One message, but you can have it every so often, or manually set it off if you are in the room. You can also change the message.

I also support the "Free Wand Of Illusion for Jigan" artifact.

Edit: Reaction rune. Similar to the room message one, this rune shows a message in reaction to something. In essence, let us say I had a pet squid in a tank. If I emoted that I fed the squid, a reaction would occur showing the squid eating it's food. Or, as simple as pressing or pulling a lever. A emote or sentence causes a trigger which causes a message in the room.

Could work but then i'd be *sniffle* "What pictures with no sound :'(".

Archways



With pets/dwellers this can be accomplished with the 25 credit reactions, you simply have it react to a specific tell.

i.e
you tell malach "I fed you betch"
As long as you are in the same room it would fire a message and a few seconds later you could have the apparent reaction.

Re: Archways. I'm talking maybe something that'd be worth 25 credits or something. So, I can get 3 or 300 of them if I wanted.

Re: Reactions. It would be something small, like for levers or bookshelves, or whatever little things you got. Not something that costs 600 some odd credits and then another 25, but a small 25-50 credit programmable little trigger for your manse.

Personally, I'd like having a neat little globe on a bookshelf which occasionally hummed, or one of those desktop toys, the one with the -silver orbs which go clack and they keep going and slowly stop moving- (Editted so Arix and Co. can't make fun of the original wording). You know the ones. Or maybe a Lusternian Drinking Bird. But, I don't have the money nor gold to shell out for 600 credits, or whatever the archway costs.
