A trained ability to salvage some metal back from used or unneeded weapons.

Processing might go somewhat like that:
- take the combine operation that led to (this weapon) production
- strip non-metallic parts
- determine the amount of metal 'saved', based on the worker's reutilizing skill
- determine the quality of metal 'saved', based on the worker's Metallurgy skill

E.g., at level 0 one should get 1-2 steel ingots back from a sabre, while at level 150 or higher it might be 9-10 steel ingots.

Benefits:
- a new player market for items that normally get destroyed (sold to NPCs)
- better player specialization
- more player interaction
- more tria, resulting from actual player interaction, for new players and/or young characters
- some actual ingame use for non-special looted Q50 weapons, of which there are plenty

The skill would add more fun and occupational activity to the game while not requiring any new art.
Probably, Veja Pontor could be a logical choice for a textbook giver and initial trainer since there must be lots of weapons spoiled beyond all recognition on the Arena everyday.
Might be extended to include shields and helms in the future.

[NPC] Ereneid Dhusho says: Ok, to reach the kran city by pterosaur I need 2500 tria, please hand those to me.

Abbreviation.
Okay (cannot exist in Yliakum Common at all).
Speaking in numbers.
Ban her to EZPC please.

(Or bring XilliX back!)

Related to PS#3685, I guess.

“He has a peaceful look …”

Maybe kra is an exception, somehow, but that ‘he’ feels so weird anyway.

If kra is unique and there is no mistake, then some additional info in the description would be highly appreciated (and please change it to Setting > Feature Request if that’s the case).

More and more players are falling into a nasty habit of casting buffs on unsuspecting and unwilling people. Sadly, many of them won’t listen to reason, so the two options left are fleeing and/or petitioning the abuser. Neither is really satisfying.
It was always quite a pain in the something, but now it’s quickly developing into a powerful griefer’s tool.

To illustrate the point, some of the most common scenarios.

1. The character is badly wounded, and it needs to stay wounded for RP purposes. A Nuisance runs in, casts a series of noob-level healing while not taking any part in the RP itself. Then it (best) just runs away and can be happily forgotten, or (worse) stays around waiting for applause, in some especially hard (worst) cases demanding it out loud. Bye bye RP.

2. You are training combat skills, and all of a sudden you get a stats buff from a Nuisance, thus increasing the amount of time you have to spend to complete the level. Some really persistent Nuisances keep doing it over and over again, no matter what kind of polite /tells they get from you.

3. The Nuisance spots you staying in one place for a while (mining, sleeping, or simply AFK) and starts testing their newly-discovered spells on you, happy and in an elated mood. Most often, it’s CW and, also most often, they get very much upset when asked to stop, no matter how mindful and polite you are trying to be. Logging off is somewhat helpful. Unluckily, it’s helping to preserve their fun but not, by any means, your own.

Like any godmoding (and that’s what it is), the problem creates a lot of unneeded OOC tension. It can be eliminated quite easily though.

Please add an ‘Always decline friendly spells’ or ‘Never accept friendly spells’ checkbox in the Options. Unchecked by default, naturally. The spell still can be cast, but it has no effect on an intended “victim”. Would discourage such practices very effectively and with no need to get into OOC fights over the subject.

Maxed stats leading to next to no PPs from harder kills is commonly viewed as a problem in need of a fix.
My request: please let it stay exactly the way it is. It isn't broken. Intentionally or not, it works perfectly as any good RPG should work, making one choose what stats to raise, and how high, and where to stop. Choices and consequences. We actually needed that badly, so don't take it away now when it's around, please.

No easy progression for Superman-styled chars. They are Super already. Let them do something useful with their wonderful abilities. Like, learn some craft and earn their progression points honestly through hard work.

For those who got themselves into the trap unknowingly, and also to allow more flexibility and fun, a downgrade option should be made available instead. An NPC, best of all a mage, who would make you weaker, or dumber, or slower, at your request, and for quite a price, of course, so as to prevent much abuse. Magic is common throughout Yliakum, so it wouldn't be too "un-yliakum-realistic", I think.

It still reads, on all types of spikes, "… More likely to kill your mount then your enemy."

than*, eh?

[Edit] Also, 'two hand-widths long' would be much better than 'two hands widths long'.

Platinum Steel ingots won’t stack in the furnace. “You are not sure what is going to happen…“, the System says.
Therefore, one can only smelt 1 Plat Steel ingot at a time, while all the other known ingots can be stacked.

Please cancel the task if it is by design and not a bug.

Please let the player decide if they want it or not.
As a minor solution, an option of repositioning it or making the font transparent would also be of great help.

Reasons: a)obnoxious, b)eye-tearing/tiring, c)excessive when echoed in the System tab, d)makes the game look retarded and outdated in spite of all that shaders racket.

While crafting (and especially smelting) hard, the problem becomes obvious. One gets one’s screen all covered up in red and green lines. “You start work”, “You are not sure” etc. The “You cannot see what’s going on in the furnace” line would be much more appropriate, ‘cuz, you know, you really cannot see.

(Exceptions for Admin and GM announcements would be highly reasonable though.)

Maps and travels music not working. Again.
So far looks exactly like PS#3975. And feels the same ;)

After editing my shortcuts (ingame, using built-in mechanics like Set→None and Clear) I couldn’t get back into the game later, being stuck at the “Loading GUI” step. All I kept getting was the corresponding map screenshot. The reason turned out to be the deleted “Shortcut 1”. I added an empty shortcut 1 line (null string as the name and no action assigned) to the “shortcutcommands.xml”, at first it seemed to solve the problem, because I was able to get into the game and play. However, after the next quit that line got missing (cleared out, obviously on quit) from the file again, with the same result: being permanently stuck at the aforementioned step.

I solved it all by supplying some dummy name and some dummy command to that shortcut; however, it all doesn’t seem right and may prove very confusing to other players in the same situation.

The ‘Emporium Raid’ quest should have a refusal option at that point where a questgiver asks the player to go to a certain guard and report a certain organisation to that guard. The action is absolutely unacceptable for some character types because of RP alignments and the quest is undiscardable by the player. It says “…because it can be done only once” and won’t be discarded. There’s also no way to tell beforehand the plot would dive into this; we have a lot of investigation quests that do nothing of the kind, and most of these have refusal options at the crucial steps anyway.

Dear Devs, please make that step either refusable (even if the quest gets some sort of failed ending due to that, it would be normal C&C case) or discardable.

While having both “Insects in the Garden”(1) and “Vladovic needs dried maajo”(2) quests, there’s a tangle in pop-up options. The answer “Yes, I do” when questioned about certain merchant’s whereabouts (2) is taken as positive response from (1). On the second try it jumps to (2) and Liera wishes good luck. However, the (1) quest is already triggered to the next step.
