Item Count

[Tom]

You know me I never complain. (So I will not start today) If things start to get crazy I go for a bit then return. This server was and still can be the best one out there.
I was one of the guys that was bad about AFK resource gathering. I told you
six months ago if you wanted me to stop just tell me. We had a big blow out that made everyone post their Aye or Nye regarding it. You said if I could make a macro to continue it I could. I left. Not because I was mad but because I did not want other people to leave because of me.

Now I am back again and all the changes make me feel like a new neewbie they seem cool. I for one love the new bod system. However most people don't understand that if you complete the old bod and drop on npc it resets timer. then you can do like doc wants start a new quest.
I love quests more than anything.
The server I was just banned from had a massive quest system. It gave loot + copper or silver(No faction) as a reward. With the coins you could by some very nice items like for 1k silver . Arcane circles, haunted furniture, coffins ect.
They had a way of keeping item counts down. Magical supply chests, for different types(ingot box, tailor box...) The box was locked down in house and any item dropped in it combined to others in it. So drop in a sturdy shovel and it would add to the use count on the next one dropped in. I had one with 10k uses that I insured. When left in locked down chests it only showed 1 item in box so it did not take up all your house lock down counts. I stored everything in them. I had over 100k of each ingot and they even had 6 custom colored ingots. and it took up one item count.

In tailoring I buy 30 or 40 sewing kits drop all in supply chests take out 1 kit with 1k uses or so. Very nice. I also loved that monsters with the right type hides could have a rare chance at having runic kit with 1 use on it. Sounds like so what right. Who wants 30 1 use barbed kits huh. drop them in chests take out a barbed 30 use kit.

They had a custom hide called armagedon it was the bomb made high level resist stuff. But had no properties. so you could use a runic kit to make a tunic with a chance of all 20 resists but no properties on it. It helped complete that suit but hurt by not having extra properties. You could only get the hides off an armagedon roach. It was an burnt red colored ant lion that ran like a mad man that spit the acid from the ants at you with out attacking you. So your pets would not guard you had to say all kill. It dropped acid like crazy had 8 hides and 3-6 copper coins.

They had vulcan hides that had low resists but mad properties. Could have 5 high properties on it but 8 was the highest resist. You could only get them off warewolves. They were bright orange. I loved it because I would pretend I was out hunting in my orange gear.

Well other then the chests I was just chatting. Speaking of chatting can we get a [c command that makes public chat. on screen like when you send a party message but everyone online can see it? It helps make the people feel like they have someone out there to help if need be. Then when shard is bigger drop public and keep current in. Just a suggestion.

All great suggestions. I wouldn't mind having a public chat option as long as it isn't abused (spammers, shit talkers). As for reducing item count, the chest idea sounds interesting. We also have the AOV community system being planned where you sacrifice goods for points you can use to purchase new things (Think of clean up brittania program) but that'll be a system that will come quite a bit later.

Hmm I remember those boxes on another shard, called resource boxes. Would not be too hard to make actually. Well the hardest part would be the gump - gumps are a pita to code.

Unless someone starts up a teamspeak server or a ventrillo server. The [c would improve alot. Couldn't you place a ban on people who abuse the [c chat once it is in. I was on a server and said, My god I like this kryss and was banned from public chat. God was not allowed I found out. But they could say, Devil, satan, ect....

I have some bloodwood but cant seem to find frostwood. Maybe would could work a trade. I really want that runic saw or axe or whatever carpenter quest gives.

Throw out a few random spawners for various wood nymphs. at least until the config. is worked out on drop rates. Wood nymphs are cool better than me treefellow idea.

Kill a bunch of reapers until you get a Reaper's Axe. Those will spawn wood nymphs regularly, and each carries 25 of each wood. Not hard to kill either.
