It's possible with moving planets, but more likely is with dumb luck from Papaxi. It still hurts with even fewer spheres. I'll be happy to discuss astrology with you in game.

If you don't possess the gem at month's end, do you still get the power? That is, if someone else is holding it, are you just out that month, or will it boost your reserves anyway?

CARTELS, extremely spammy but they should be at the top of the list.

Can any of the following NOT be enchanted?: crown, tiara, brooch, circlet, armband (the heirloom version). How do I see the different items and types for my trade? I know I can change the type of rings to weddingbands, but that seems to be the only one. Is what's listed in DESIGN PATTERNS JEWELRY all there is to work with?

Tiara is another noun for crown, not sure if circlet is. The rest are but brooch is only enchant-able with Focus, I think. And I think so, regarding that last bit. confused.gif

Before it's modified by the general god-specific essence-boost, it's 65536 (or 65535?) essence.

Baubles, according to the ab file.

A circlet is an heirloom. Baubles are pendants, prayerbeads, and pins, but pins seem to go under underwear, and there's hardly any designs for them.

65535, the maximum value of an unsigned 16 bit integer.

You can get 6 negative spheres if Papaxi is sextile or quincux from Sun AND Papaxi modifies Sun strength for that specific casting. This is because a sextile Papaxi is square to one of the signs semisextile to Sun, and thus produces a quincux result if Papaxi modifies Sun and because a quincux Papaxi is opposite from one of the signs semisextile to sun, producing a square result if Papaxi modifies Sun. This is the case for precisely 1/3rd of all dates.

You can also get up to 12 spheres by shifting butterflies at a target. Each butterfly has a ~5% chance to afflict with a highly negative astrological sphere for ~90 seconds, regardless of the current solar position. Spheres gained this way not cancel with any signs already in place. Of course, the chances of this happening, even with 1000 people shifting butterfly all at once, are an order of magnitude less than you winning the lottery.

You can wear pins? I wasn't aware of that. Y'think that's an oversight?

Why wouldn't you be able to wear an item of jewelry? I think three out of the four (yes, four) pin designs are hair pins.
Jack2011-08-15 17:17:08
Oh, I assumed you meant piercing pins.
Lilia2011-08-15 18:19:12
Haha, no, those are needles. Everyone seems to forget they have a purpose other than holding esteem.
