lol maple = plane log....looks like all the logs are off


Sherwood Forest
[ Exits: n e s w ]
As you turn your back to the trail in the west and enter the dark and
dense forest, you feel cold thrills going up your spine.  The ancient trees
seem to lean over you in a threateningly way.  There is a very small path to
the north.  Maybe better to stick to that at least?  - or even better to
stay on the trail?

Sherwood Forest
[ Exits: n e s w ]
From the trail, you've entered the forest.  If you venture any further
from here you might easily get lost.  However, the trail still is close to the
west, why not get back there for safety's sake?  To the north is a small, almost
invisible path leading east - west among the trees.  Even that might be a bit
safer than this dark and threatening forest.

You put a heavy alder log on the conveyor belt and it gets taken into the mill.

a skill for maybe warriors on longarm weapons and thiefs on short blade weapons....or something similiar across all classes that get longarm/short blade skills.  just something minor to give them a minor bonus to weapons...ie warrior sharpens his longsword and gains maybe up to 2 additional dice rolls of his weapon....so instead of 10d10 hes rolling 12d10....of course timers would apply similiar to tinker but maybe a tad bit longer.....idea being less of a bonus but for an extended period of time...gypsy would obviously still be the one togo to for max of 15d15 or wtf is it

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Artifacts...

« on: July 04, 2012, 07:18:39 pm »

Back in the day, prior to our switch to the current format, one of the things that made this mud fun for me was Artifacts and trying to collect all Artifacts in the game.  Whether it was attempting to farm a high end mob to get one to pop or checking the secret loading places over and over and over, it added another element to the game.  With the timers on artifacts now, the amount of time spent obtaining an artifact does not necessarily equate to the amount of time you actually get to use said artifact.  A frustrating scenario, especially if you were to get something like assembling the super weapon/armor.  I would propose making the following changes to these items;

Remove the Timer
Remove the Max Loan Rate
Decrease the % they are loaded - basically a drop to offset the removal of a max load

Doing this would add back an element into the game of trying to take down larger mobs to force a pop of a nice item.  This would provide people with a nice step between normal eq and the high end quest items as well.  Unfortunately i dont know if the 3 above are feasible, its been probably 10 years since ive had a builder.  Let me know what you guys think...

bringing this post back with a few modifications given the new structure and making a few modifications.  Given how a lot of them load rarely and take forever to force pop seems silly to have the timer,

*REMOVE THE TIMER
*Quadruple the max loads
*leave load % as is
*flag them so they cannot be left in player houses ie like keys...THIS ITEM IS TOO VALUABLE to be here...allow them to be put in the clan safe box only...this would prevent the trophy takers like back in the day or leave them open to being stolen by other clans or force players to carry them
*implement some type of system to sell artis for tokens or some other form of reward for farming out or attempting to force load artis
*allow artis to be perzed again

basically make it worthwhile to get artis for those that like to arti hunt and make it tough to horde them as we used to in the past.

The overwhelming jungle growth assaults your senses, the thick, entangling
growth prohibiting most free movement. Long, thick branches creak like old
men's joints as they stretch lazily towards the heavens, forming the abundant
canopy that covers your head. Brightly coloured birds dart in and out between
the trees, their sweet songs echoing all around you.
