Um, remind me what this does again?



Ritual Incense

Allows the user to set the ritual incense to do room-wide emotes. User must first SNIFF INCENSE which will allow them to set the desired emotes by certain keywords said, or key phrases said by the owner. To activate, you must BURN INCENSE. Upon use of the burn incense command, the incense will be placed upon the ground. The effects of the incense will last up to two hours, or till the owner picks it up, or till the owner makes an aggressive action against another player.

Potionpack or Vialbelt

Holds only vials but you can drink from them while they are in there, no more holding 40 vials in your hands. Maybe making them decay slower too, though just being able to use potions from a belt or pack might be good enough.

Naturally potionlist would still work with them in the belt. wink.gif

I'd really like it if this maybe came as a rune that could be put on a tailoring pattern. In the same line why the artifact vials and pipes were changed.

I'd certainly buy this.

Could have a Circlet of Aetherwill or something which either halves any drains or doubles any regeneration.

It may never happen in Lusternia, but I would absolutely love to have some form of ranged attack through an artifact, such as the bow I had in Achaea. I loved that bow so much. Line-of-sight is good enough, and it wouldn't have to be incredibly unbalancing (as in, critical damage or hitting multiple targets), but useful would be nice, like poisoned arrows. I would even pay for upgrades to the bow (or whatever form it might take) to add a couple cool perks to it. Plus, a quiver or whatever to with it, of course.

Like the dingie barrel?

Okay, everyone call me an artifact whore again, but I'd like some kind of wearable container which, if I put artifacts into it, I could still use them. For instance, if my soap was in it, I could still SCRUB. The point of it is to make my INV much, much shorter, and focused on things I'm holding now instead of things I am holding all the bloody time. Ideally it'd work with everything: let me sip from vials in it, smoke pipes in it, use the gem of cloaking that's in it, etc. (So in coding terms, maybe it's not really a container, just a way to hide things in my INV the way those silly gloves hide things in LOOK AT LENDREN.)

Ahh, the burdens of the artifact-rich...

Read your inv from the bottom up. Problem solved!

it's amazing what a little brain-training can do.

That barrel is rather useless, in my opinion. It's a fun reference to DK, but not something I'd buy for any practical use. No, I want a real artifact that I can use for real combat!

Here's another for Zarquan's bow thing. That would be neat.


While I'm here, how about a one-time-use artifact that readjusts one's nativity?

And the barrel thing, well, apart from the mechanical wonkiness of it, There's something to be said for flavor and coolness. That still matters to some people, even as we don our ridiculous pig noses and pogo sticks.

And bows are cool.

I'd like a cheap little artifact like Puppydog Eyedrops, which allows you to engage in charity influence as if you were at the lowest level of prestige without having to remove any clothing/artifacts. I recommend 15 credits! halo.gif

Dingbat scarecrow hat, costs 150 dingbats.

They're not going to devalue it like that!

That actually makes it a lot worse. Not sure why you think it'd be better, in fact.

?

I always read my inventory from the bottom up (in terms of the "you are holding" line). Once I get to domoth objects, I stop reading, 'cause everything above that doesn't change.

We already have a ranged weapon that's available to everyone that doesn't take a credit card to attain - demigod zaps. And since those're on a cool down timer, they can't be whored as much as those damn artifact bows in Achaea either.

I'd still like a permanent advertisement artie for 15cr that you can set and forget and change without having to make a new number all the time. losewings.gif

Unknown2009-09-25 10:46:45
I'm not suggesting that the bow (or bow-like weapon) be cheap, either. It should be 1000+ credits, most likely.

Demigod zaps are for flavor and for zerging. Bows are for real offense and awesomesauce.
Gregori2009-09-25 10:51:13
I still maintain that instead of making a bunch of new arties. Start releasing the ones that were on previous auctions. Again, I know for myself there are a number of them I would buy credits to get.
