I'm thinking about changing Winnae's race after I get one of those race hats which hides your race. But what I wonder is, does it change your race when people honours you and you aren't logged in? I don't want to break the roleplay of tae'dae Winnae...
Enyalida2012-08-18 02:03:29
Don't think it does. Pretty sure as long as your character is still wearing the hat (aka, even when logged out), you are that race. Easy to test though, find someone with a hat!
Unknown2012-08-18 03:09:07
Anyone know of anyone who hasn't hit endgame that has a race hat? The only people I know have demigod etc. in their honors... now me getting that level might get rid of that problem too I suppose :)

Also, what does it mean when an election resets to 99 days?
Xenthos2012-08-18 03:16:31
There was a tie and it started up again, I believe.
Turnus2012-08-18 03:22:02
The racehat's effect persists even while logged out. People will be able to see that you're wearing one though.
Xenthos2012-08-18 03:27:44
Unless you buy one of the artifacts that hide what you're wearing, I would imagine...
Enyalida2012-08-18 03:28:46
Or customize it for credits?
Unknown2012-08-18 09:31:14
I'd probably customize it ya :)

I'm also getting epic quest burnout on Winnae and thinking of playing my other character for a bit. I also want to learn Xion, though. Is it possible to do the Xion quest for Hallifax/Gaudiguch or is it earth/water only? Do Hallifax/Gaudiguch have an alternative quest with a similar payout?
Esano2012-08-18 11:53:28
The Xion quest is Earth v Water only. Obviously you can convert the essence you get, and the result (an 'enter spire' from an appropriate Prime room to the plane you work against) is useful for Halli/Gaudi, so not sure what you mean by similar payout.

The crux of Xion is that the Taint threw everything into flux, because Earth went crazy and Air and Fire went inactive. With the return of Fire and Air their crystals are active once more, but as far as they're concerned it should be business as usual. They wait patiently for Water and Earth to sort their crap then resume functionality.

So no - no fire/air Xion quests. Sorry!

Oh well, thanks guys!

As for the reward for Xion, I just read in an old log that completing Xion gives 10k power to the Megalith. Upon reading that log (maybe it's a one time thing per character or got changed?) I just thought to myself, why have I been influencing demons on Nil for 3-9 power each this whole time?

That would be the Xion Initiative - you'll require Celest's help!
Enyalida2012-08-18 21:17:21
And the forests will do everything in their power to stop you, if/when they find out you're trying it.
Ytran2012-08-18 22:58:20
Yea, there are two Xion-related quests: Restoring the workshop (the "normal" honors quest), and the Xion Initiative conflict quest thing that happened like 20 rl years ago or something.
Unknown2012-08-19 00:11:16
Good thing I asked, I was imagining myself making 10k power for my city :lol: Guess that would be too much for one quest, even a hard one on an aetherbubble.

Finish your Epic quest/Mutts, and you can see how easy it is to generate 5k/15k/25k power for the city.
Unknown2012-08-19 00:26:46
Well then, back to mutts tomorrow I suppose.

On another note, I tried out the IRE phone client and the font they use looks great. Anyone know what font it is?
Unknown2012-08-19 19:43:29
hai'Gloh Zemordia - Xion Initiative was not 20 years ago. More like...3.
Unknown2012-08-19 22:13:27
I have perused the help files but I want to make sure I didn't miss something. Sometimes the format of the files is a little difficult for me to interpret.

Is there a way to customize an exit in a manse room? So instead of a typical compass direction (E,N,S,W) could you do say cross bridge, climb stair. or enter/exit portal?

Is there a way to make a room a water room. If so can you set the room to have shifting tides like the Inner Sea or the Water Plane does?

I see there is an artifact to make a room have permanent night. Is there a way to also make that room permanently have one particular phase of the moon?

I know the arch allows you have 10 random ambient messages through out the manse. Is there a way to set only one ambient message to one particular room? Can you have that ambient message be non-random. Say I wanted it to fire whenever someone enter/exited the room or when a certain phrase was said?
Enyalida2012-08-19 22:16:34
In order:

No, no custom exits/entrances without talking directly to the admins about it. (And probably paying through the nose)

Yes, it's an artifact. I believe it's a dingbat artifact.

Yes to night, same as above. No to time altering manse rooms. That could potentially screw things up.

No, same as the first answer. You'd have to talk to the admins about that one directly. You could just get an arch and set it with a single ambient, but it'd still be on a semi-random timer and be manse wide, afaik.
