Mage Candle returns!

Apprentice Pyromancers can cast the Mage Candle spell once again! While channeling pyromancy, type CAST MAGE_CANDLE (note the underscore). The candle's base duration is 15 minutes, and each skill rank of Pyromancy grants an additional 5 seconds. The Mage Candle can be dismissed with the DISMISS comm...

Re: Answers to some Clok revival FAQs

Thanks, Zeldryn! The chat was a lot of fun. Sorry for getting a little sassy at times. I like to tease people I'm comfortable with, and in group settings like this sometimes I can end up teasing someone I'm not as familiar with and then I worry I've just made them uncomfortable. One thing I intended...

On bans and negative faction standings

There have been a few requests to have character/account bans or negative faction standings reconsidered now that the game is being restored, so I figured I'd make a public statement on the subject. Regarding bans: I may look over them at some point just so I've got as much information as possible o...

Re: Question on Bugged Equipment

Yes, please! Once per type of item, not per individual item. So if you had 2 crossbows, you wouldn't need to send a separate report upon trying each one. Just one report that crossbows in general don't seem to be functional.

Elemancy works the classical elements of fire, earth, air, and water. Sorcery has to do with cold goopy inky-black stuff.

Re: Carved haft termination

Noctere wrote: woodworkers are encouraged to supply carved staves for blacksmiths instead.
Does that mean that woodworkers just make a "stave" item now instead of a specific type of haft, and the stave works as a wooden haft for any weapon head so the old specific-type hafts are obsolete?

we should remove larger softer metal hilts and definitely all hafts (a silver or gold flail haft would be bent in no time and more useless than a silver or gold arrowhead) and we should make lead shot un-reusable. Most arrows should break upon use anyway, if not the head, then the shaft. Nails: har...
