Make the traps remember if it was made by someone with the toolbelt; if so, they won't release comms if disarmed by anyone. If not, they will release comms even if disarmed by someone with the toolbelt.

Okay maybe I did not think this through, but disarming only grants half the comms anyway, so...I just want to lay traps without needing a billion comms sad.gif

P.S. I'm pretty sure there should be an ability in discernment to check for traps in a room, but why would you ask for an artie that lets you avoid them, can I have an artie that lessens my earache time?

Cut the comm cost to make them in half instead of completely removing?
Ixion2011-03-01 02:33:57
Tracking costs aren't that expensive, and you get half/full comms back anyway. Half of the time I come out with more comms than I went in with. Not needed IMO.
Unknown2011-03-01 02:40:35
Technically most arties are not needed, but it's not gonna stop me from asking anyway!

-Cement boots - gives increased summon resistance at the cost of less movement or possibly a gravity effect.
-Alchemist's pocketwatch - lets you sprinkle salt/sulfur for free.
-Gnomish Alarmclock - increases the rate you recover from tiredness by sleeping.
-Crumkane's cookie - a cookie that you can eat over and over and over for some sustenance.

P.S. I'd be cool with half costs too.

Totally new things mixed in with my old desires like the charcoal paint set and the artisan artie. sad.gif And if Trackers get commodity-free traps, I desire a commodity-free artie for Eco charms, please. That tramp stamp sounds awesome too.

Besides that note, more random ideas then:

-A roasting spit! To enable Cooks to cook food outdoors given there's a campfire! Mind, limited to things that actually use the cook syntax, so no baking or brewing or mulling.

....and ran out of ideas. Must return later.

edit: actually if it took balance to use, that would be fine

Collar of Aetheric Boosting - Allows users to bypass the ethereal plane at city nexii, provided they have the ability to use that nexus. (Meaning that if you're not a member of the org, you need Nexus in planar) If the wearer possesses the gate skill in either Elementalism or Cosmic, it allows access to the other plane as well.

Great Rune of the Mystic Artificer - Allows enchanters to enchant 10 charges onto the object it's attached to. Can only be attached to artifacts that can be worn or wielded, and the charges will decay once per month (Focus enchantments will double the decay rate).

Polyglot's Earhorn - Wearer can understand any spoken language except Divine, and allows the wearer to hear things lost to the wind. Does NOT allow wearer to speak any languages they could not already speak, or hear anything while deaf.

Portable Table - allows a cook, once per month, to hold a Great Feast with as few as five persons. To do so, the cook must SET TABLE, then each person must SIT AT TABLE. Once each person is seated, the cook then lays out the feast as normal, and the table disappears until the start of the month.

Diorama box - Allows the owner to make a single landscape into a permanent diorama that can be shown off. This diorama cannot be enchanted, and resets to the owner.

Bust kit - See above, replace landscape with portrait. Optionally, the owner can TAP BUST to have it start resetting to the room in which it's left. Anyone else can TAP BUST to cause it to reset immediately to the owner, plus some (temporary) graffiti.

-Manse beacon - manse artie that allows you to teleport to your manse, needs same plane.
-Beastmaster's whistle - allows you to whistle beasts and they will come to you from any plane/bubble. No more need to beast dismiss and beast summon again. Halves eq time from whistling too.
-Omnitalkie - gives you the broadcast skill in planar and lets you talk from anywhere in Lusternia, bubbles too.
-Cord version B. - lets you skillflex once every IC day.

Magic Mushroom Box: Each month you can pluck a mushroom from it. The mushrooms will give you an hour of improved intelligence (Cause being high obviously means you're smarter tongue.gif)

Orb of Cosmic/Ethereal Might:
- Greatly increases power generated from influence cosmic/ethereal beings. (3 or 4 times).
- Fills with some of the spare energy released, allowing you to RELEASE ORB INTO ME.
Basically just trying to help equalize alternative power generation to be more on par with essence. 80 power for 16 grubs in 5 mins or under 50 power for all of nil in what... 10-20?

Psychic Paper:
- SHOW PAPER TO
- Improves mood
- Reduces cost for parley
- Increases reprieve time for amnesty influence

Optionally comes with message!
As you show your borderline sentient page to Ciarrus, leader of the Aslaran he looks at it expectantly. He looks confused a moment before the paper comes to life, a smile crossing his features, "Why didn't you say you were such a renown Krokani slayer?"


Noise Filter:
- FILTER SOUND ON/OFF
- Unable to debate or be debated
Cause it 1) negates "combat debating" and 2) Makes more sense.. we hold whole conversations in the time it takes for someone to swing a sword once?

Crystal of Resonance:
- In a non enemied (prime?) room you can HARMONIZE WITH CRYSTAL, which will embed the crystal in the room.
- When you would be magically returned (conglute, lich, rebirth, transmigration, etc) your soul will be pulled to the crystal to reform, though your resources will still be used.
- ATTRACT CRYSTAL to recall it to you.

If you are liching for example, at the end of the delay your soul is pulled to its room and you lich. Same for the others. This is a good way to avoid double deaths in enemy territory. Take some of the mega loss in enemy territory out of the equation by not dying twice.

Perfectionists Spectacles:
- Critique is half the time for recovery
- EXAMINE ILLUSIONS

Examining illusions can dispel illusions that do not cost power.

I REALLY like the uber poison item from shuyin, and of course I support mini greenhouses, even if its just a pot you can plant herbs in.
Unknown2011-03-01 05:52:39
I remember mentioning such pots early on. I doubt they're going in after all these years.

Orb of Cosmic/Ethereal Might: want!

Psychic Paper: would like for the RP

Alchemist's pocketwatch: like!

These. Yes. Please.

Probably should also make it stop influencing too.

Psychic Paper... hmm... chin.gif

Moar ideas!

-Beastmaster spurs - halves the time it takes to mount a beast. If you have vault, vaulting costs no balance.
-Beast roids - Increase the number of trains available in your beast. Can make it a tier like 25, 50, 100, etc.
-Minimap - catacombs map for the user only, doesn't take entourages (player, etc), stopped by distort.
-flux capacitor - speeds up the rate at which linking node/nexus gets you power. Maybe have it work for cone/starlink/whatever too.

Totally running out of ideas that aren't combat related. I'm gonna have to start asking for the boomerang of yanking or something next.
Unknown2011-03-02 00:58:44
I still really want an artifact bow and arrow, but not if it's going to be a children's toy version.
Rika2011-03-02 01:57:03
Wind Calming Flute: Eliminates the effects of strong winds, such as lost of speech and being blown out of trees, in a room for a period of time.
Unknown2011-03-02 03:11:08
Ok, I'll split this into two quick categories.

First: Stuff that's probably been said, but that I would buy credits to get:


-An artie that lets me cone.
-A second tradeskill artie.


Second: Other stuff that would be interesting:
-the beastmastery stuff shuyin suggested above.
-some sort of stirrups/saddle that makes you much harder to dismount, so fighting from beast back is actually feasable.
-a hook gun- lets you yank people into the trees/rooftops.

Yes to the cone.

and the second tradeskill artie already exists. Endowment of the Arts. It was in the last auctions (went for 2k credits). and you have the demi power.

A Piece Of Rope: Tie it around yourself and someone else. Increases summon/gust/etc. resistance of each, but if either of them gets moved, they both get moved, and take some small damage in the process. A single person can be connected by two pieces of rope in this way, to two other people. If anyone in the group can't fly, the whole group can't fly (ditto for scaling, climbing, diving, etc.). If you use a magical means of transportation that leaves people behind (e.g., Flow) you leave the rope; if you use one that doesn't (e.g., Teleport), you bring the rope and everyone connected.
