Re: Requests for Clarifications

That makes more sense now. Alright, so a brief dive into the wiki, I think I have a list of some of the immortals who are part of this group. Undm, Aphraen, Vandin, Nereia, and Naia. It appears that Bogvaskr was believed to have once been part of the Serafim, but was corrupted by his killing intent....

Requests for Clarifications

As a followup to https://clok.contrarium.net/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=7706&p=40832#p40832 I went ahead and made this topic. Feel free to ask for your own clarifications. In the wiki article for Undm, it says that she is a Serafim, the highest order of Serafina's Aengels. In the article for Serafina i...

Re: Skill Discourse: Archery, Firearms, and Crossbows

Crossbows take about 7 seconds to reload and fire. 6 if you don't aim. You can think of it like using a longbow, but with the load and fire times broken into two stages. They're not that difficult to train up. However, some lighter faster options like hand crossbows would be welcome I think. I think...

Re: On the horizon: Ability Trees, Class Specializations, and Guilds

I am thinking you could very well specialize as a guardian with some more duelist general abilities if you really wanted. However, I personally think abilities like tumble and flip would be dubious for a guardian/templar to possess. Some abilities like repose would be acceptable though.

Re: On the horizon: Ability Trees, Class Specializations, and Guilds

As someone who has brawling as main offense on a claw, should I be concerned that pugilist is not a viable option for joining Claws as listed? I understand there will be general abilities that don't require specialization, as well as guild abilities. I guess what I'm asking is if picking a skill to ...

Re: Stealthy People's Thoughts on Group Stealth Exemptions

I personally find the current group stealth mechanics cumbersome. Facilitating a group as a stealthy leader is particularly frustrating. Throw in horses or controlled nethrim and the whole thing becomes a juggle act, for if you try to communicate with your group they begin to search. I feel that the...

Study Hard

I would personally find the ability to have multiple lessons going for the same skill useful. I am not asking for stacked multipliers for each lesson, but for stacked duration. One lesson slot would give double gains for 5 points, two would give double for 10 points, and 3 would give gains for 15. I...

Skill Gap for Climbing

I am currently at a point where my climbing skill is not enough to make the next challenging climb in the Qiri mountains without intentionally adding weight to increase the challenge of climbing to raise the skill.

Newbie Bonus

In the past, there was a bonus granted to new characters that would double their skill gain for a while. I don't recall the specifics exactly, but I think it was for the first 50 skill points. It would also grant free healing for as long as it was active. I think this would make starting out a bit e...

Re: SLEEP Command

How would sleeping be different than logging out? For example, if there is a sleep command, I would not expect things like ESP, says, or similar things to be received. It would basically be like the account screen as far as what you are able to do and receive.

Shadgard's Steamy Secret

Isn't it strange that so much focus is on the steam works in Shadgard? With all that's going on in the lands, trying to secure enough food, making the town safe, and fending off threats from far and near, they pursue something that can be so finicky and temperamental. Why does Shadgard bother with s...

Re: Skill Grind: Critical Success Bonuses

The Spaceship Vandin Part 2

This second part of my theory tries to address where Vandin is now, and what I have to say is not good. This one is also largely unsubstantiated by much lore, but more so by observations. Have you ever wondered about the Shadgard canyon? It's a canyon without a river. Generally, rivers carve out can...

This is probably just a bit of nitpicking, but small game like squirrels will range out from their homes much shorter distances than larger game such as deer. For example, most squirrels will range out between 2 and 20 acres, with 20 acres being uncommon for most species. A deer can range out twice ...
