Maybe unrelated, but do you get a bonus for being a room with noticeable elemental strengths? I.e., a bonus to your hydro spells for being in shallow or deep water, aero in a windy place, fire in a hot place (like a desert), geo in a mine or cave, etc?

This thread makes me happy.

Is creating and distributing maps IC allowed? I don't see why not, I just also don't even see any OOC player fansites (since the wiki is so minimal.)

Sounds awesome, thanks!

I want my character to become a cartographer of sorts. Are there anythings you can think of to facilitate this in game? I was thinking of using the new books as ways to store ascii maps.

Can the name be changed? I foresee my chest having 30 books in it with the same name...

[quote=Landion][quote=Acarin] Not everything in this game is fully logical (Sorry Rias), partly due to alpha and partly due to it being impossible to have everything perfectly logical. [/quote] This doesn't justify adding new and totally illogical aspects. [/quote] Balance issues aside (Rias' points...

[quote=KianTheArcher]Assuming there are stealthy mounts, how would this be balanced? You would be receiving these bonuses to combat on top of the bonus of being stealthy. Acarin, you could easily use a war trained mount, but you would have to give up the aspect of stealth (which you've already said ...

I'll compile my hydromancy ideas here: * How about a boon to swimming and/or diving? There's the classic underwater breathing spell. There could also be a Currents spell that dramatically reduces or eliminates energy use in the water. * Energy restoration spell while in water (this could actually ap...

Is there established history on the University? Not much, sadly, other than that it was established during the most prosperous of times of the lost Kingdom of Aetgard. It will eventually have a nice rich history full of epic magical happenings and horrible magical accidents, mysteries and intrigue,...

I heard from this one guy that it's like David Bowie in Labyrinth with the stairs and such.

Is there established history on the University?

[quote=Rasui][quote=rhunara] The other thing is that there is no personal communication. I know it's your choice, but you're shooting yourself in the foot here as far as grouping. I'm not going to ask for a group over ESP. I almost never play the type of character that would post a personal ad or jo...

Title says enough, but it seems to be commonplace. Lacie, Stuhilly, and I all have crafted armor and it starts out scuffed.

[quote=Evelyn]I don't quite understand why everything has to be about skill gains, grouping should be about having fun, I used to love the old events where everyone worked together. I remember when the stone canyon first opened and a big group of us went exploring. I miss those times. We do need som...

Maybe a title command to give a book a title.

As a follow-up to the personal communication bit - it always feels weird to go out of my way to talk to a stranger. If there's roleplaying incentive behind it, I have no problem having my characters be social. But if the reason is to hunt, well, it just seems very OOC. In the games where I play soci...

For me, the main reason is that I don't really hunt that much (yet). I mostly do tasks, and those are not to hunt (so far). It's pointless to have even someone like Lae tag along with me just for me to go somewhere dangerous and survey. Well, at least for her. If there were other Elemancers doing ta...

How close is this to reality?

The hydromancy survey tasks are sort of hit and miss. The difficulty hasn't seemed to change with skill level increase (though it's only been about 60 pts). You get sent to really dangerous places (red lake, dusk lamp, etc.) but since you don't have to kill anything, it's not really a big deal. Afte...
