Mass delevel. It only hurts for a little while.


And that gold kiss package would make it even easier to get back right now.

Permanent Advertisement - 25cr. Can be used to make one of your existing adverts permanent!

Or at least some way to extend ads instead of making new ones... even if the extension only brings an ad to the same amount of time that a new one would have so some gold is "lost" in the process.

Oh please no. It wouldn't take long for the ad board to be filled up with permanent ads.

I'd rather see a way to make ads last longer... say by specifying how long it will be up when you create it, with fees based on duration.



A related idea I had was a dingbat item that periodically makes a recorded market announcement for you. You could record your message, turn it on/off, and it would make the market announce every... 20 minutes? 30?

Mini Broadcasting Radio - Every 30 minutes hijacks Globglobs broadcasting frequency and annoys the heck out of anybody standing by a Nexus.

True that.

The dingbat artifact would be good, although I don't think anything shorter than an hour would be pleasant once there were a few of them around.

The Bubble of Go Back (25cr)
- BREAK BUBBLE to activate
- One time use artifact, lasts for 24 hours
- Reverts you level back to 5 for the duration

I don't know, because of the achievements put in for finks and gnomes, and also the quests, I would really like something that could let me go back to newton for at least a little while. I know there are other places to kill finks and gnomes but they are a pain in the butt to get to, harder to kill and i think killing gnomes gets you an enemy status, I could be wrong as I have never tried it. But also having the opportunity to get the quests that I didn't even know about.. 5 years ago? Yeah.


YES PLEASE.

Any other ideas for dingbat items? Generally we look for whimsical utility or just plain fun items for dingbat arties.

I had an auction artifact in Imperian that I really liked called the Stone Idol.

Let you raise a Stonewall in one direction of your choosing. Favorite artie ever.

A gnomish jet-pack; when FLIPped (flipping a switch), it turns on and gives you the levitation defense! But it is removed if you remove the jetpack.

Alternatively, make it an upgrade to the Gnomish Surfboard; you buy that, then you can buy an upgrade that lets it also give you Levitation. (Since, when probed, it's already pretty much perfect for this...)

Do you want previously-posted ones to be reposted like you did last time?

+Hamster of chaos add-on charge upgrade! 100cr? per extra use a month!

+A trophy phase-necklace for trophied heads.. think of it like a keystone but for trophied heads to keep track of who and how many you've collected!!! (I know several people who would buy this)

Well, I went through previous posts and pulled some ideas but I may have missed some or skipped ones that you think warrant a second glace, so please feel free to summarize previous ideas if you feel motivated!

Not crazy about add-ons to existing artifacts.

Interesting idea for trophy heads! (But isn't that just useful for trackers?)

Hmm... what about geomancers?

They get it for free!

Like scent / enchantment arties / etc.

At the same time, stonewalls are stupidly powerful.

Anyone with a bladed weapon (or maybe it's only two handers) can behead a corpse as I recall. Trackers of course can. I know many people who buy and trade beheaded heads/trophies. If this was coded to be able to phase plain heads in and out I know the Ninjakari and Nekotai would go -crazy- about the artifact.

PS heads and trophied heads decay in stockrooms still, except a very rare few from long ago. A way to keep them in a neckless is so badass IMO.

It's just a Tracker skill afaik.

Axelord / Pureblade / BM can fire a Behead affliction on a living person, and Pureblade can start a timed instakill (Decapitate) on a living person, but only Trackers can use BEHEAD CORPSE.

Nekotai / Ninjakari use the full body itself if they get the body, they don't pop the head off.

My remark about the NJ/NK was so they could have accessible masks. I'm sure they'd enjoy the Nil out of that feature.

Possible, but they can't actually make the heads themselves. They've got absolutely no way to do it.

It's pretty limited unless the BEHEAD CORPSE gets moved out of tracking, really, and I'm not so sure that's a great idea because of masks. The heads / masks were made to decay for a reason.

Hm.
