There should be a skill that makes you able to make glyphs, cause warriors can make their weapons, why wizards couldnt make their glyphs by their shelfs, of course this should take a lot of training.. And there should be more staffs that would boost wizard abilities and other staffs too
-
Glyphs would have to be very hard to make I would think.
But this idea opens up some interesting (at least to me) ideas about magic user\'s making different types or different strengths of glyphs. A lowly skilled magic user would make a glyph that allowed a low level version of the spell.
Then I guess you would also allow glyph makers to sell their glyphs.
-
Yes, yes... interesting idea indeed.
I don\'t think it would be complicated... it would be like making a weapon... for example: to build a glyph to summon a walking tree, the requirements could be a piece of a tree, legs of an animal and say the correct words (like target the glyph making thingy and say the words)
Also glyphs are naturaly found in nature...
-
Unfortunately it seems that according to the current setting that this will not happen, at least not if the player\'s guide is right.
On Glyphs: From PS Player\'s Guide
They are found in quests, left by ancestors, stolen or purchased. They are found in nature with no real explanation, no one knows exactly why they form, but when some type of energy is strongly present in one place a glyph can appear. Glyphs appear as marks on very different materials from a leaf to the fur of an animal, and usually of any type of rock.

MAybe a new unique glyph could be made with highly advanced alchemy?
LIke take 6 herbal roots, a rat eye, tsefung hide, and the blood of an enki. Put them on a stone, use your alchemic powers and...ta da! You have just applied powers into the stone with you ingredients to make a new glyph!
Might be interesting. It would give mages a type of rare to colllect.
-
That way the glyph would seem more like a potion then a trully glyph.
I think a glyph should be a reward for the mage evolution, ex: when the mage reaches level 50 in maybe crystal we could receive a glyph, meanwhile the text that could apper could be: You\'ve reached a pure state of mind, in your inspiration moment you\'ve descovered one of many nature\'s secrets, now u can make your own glyph.
-
u are richt that sounds like potion but wat u think bou this ??
u first have to do a quest that revealles how the glyps could be created
u could start this quest at magick shop
(has to be hard quest)
u need to do the quest so u can go trough a portal ( thats hidden and wil reveal in the quest and the guys that didnt do the quest cant get past it) and go and mine glypt ore there.
and u can train the glypt making skill also at magick shop (realy expensive) wen u have te skill u need to buy like sort of talismans the shows u place with much energy of a special kind like crystal,fire, etc.
just hold the ore against the rock or something with the energy of a crystal etc glypt
how much ore u need to make 1 glypt depends of the glypt creatiopn skill like with level 1 u need 30 glypts or something like that.
i hope u like my idea

I definately agree they should be researchable, craftable, or obtainable somehow. The Players Guide quote provided by Kwip hints about them being found where a certain type of energy is located.. so I\'m guessing if you are after Red Way glyphs you would have to go questing down into an active volcano or something similar. A Brown Way glyph might be obtained from the deepest recesses of a mighty ancient forest, after making a pact with the creatures that live there, etc.
Its probably should be achievable only with a lot of time spent in research, with several rare and expensive components, a long journey to a remote and dangerous area, or a combination of the all of the above. That would certainly justify the cost associated with buying a glyph. And the more powerful glyphs that bring the most amazing spells and powers into play should be vastly more difficult to get, naturally.
-
Well there is only one thing that needs to be said.. what if either my technology or devine intervention a (VERY)FEW[/b] people figure out how to replicate the acts of the gods ;)
hey thats story development for you.. at the start of the game *now* we would be more \"primitive\" then we would be later... thats the best way to introduce updates.. somebody just \"discovered\" how to do it. besides all these races are new to this land.. im suprised they arent in the stone age XD
-
LIke take 6 herbal roots, a rat eye, tsefung hide, and the blood of an enki.
Hey! Why should it be from an Enki?! I know we are the best of all races and all that, but I don\'t people after me because of my blood!!! (just joking :P)
Yes as I said first and Kwip quoted from the players guide.
But if Nature can create Glyphs, well, we are part of nature if you know what I mean...
If PS has the possibility of researching and study stuff, it might be possible to realise how do the Glyphs are made and even repruduce them!
A game with research->discover->produce, would be a kinda new and interesting. Like RL scientists, they try to find understand stuff, to make and manipulate them among other stuff... And if it was limiteless we ended up in a Scy-Fi world (lol), ok... some limits would be required... but in a RP way... a guy discovered electricity, so the governement had to kill him and everytime he gets out of DR some guards killed him again (poor guy)... ok it needs limits... er... getting off-topic here.

Wouldnt that be exactly like in runescape?
-
wich game ???
bcuz i did like half an hour to write this the way i wanted mate i thought tis by my self mate
-
Your idea just was like in runescape.. maybe it was coincidence.. :)
-
ok mate
-
Mabye you could fine the way glyths form!
And that game does have some good ideas ;) (like a multi-player dual arena (no not the pking area, this is fairly new))
edit: Fine the way?!? I hate it when i make errors. I can\'t even fix it because it\'s so long ago I can\'t remember what I was trying to say! ;(
-
if they only form there doesnt have to be a crafting skill and then does everyone goes and pick up the glypths
and then they wont be valuable anymore.
but if u go like u got to get special talisman to get to the place and then have to have some pecial stones and then u go and take the stuff needed to form the glypths and put them all together so they wil form a glypth after a few minutes.
then i would say good thinking :P
-
you mean like in the-game-that-shall-not-be-named :P

hmmm... any type of rock... so it is conceivable for a kran to become a walking glyph.... or even a walking multi glyph....

the players guide says that they dont know where to be found and thats wy there aint a skill for crafting them but if u just make a quest that explains how u can so it aint a reason that the playersguide says it aint known jet
-
I don\'t think there should be a glyph crafting profession just like one can craft swords, etc.
However I do see the option of glyph farms. They say glyphs appear in nature so if someone were to discover the circumstances and resources needed to create glyphs one could cultivate them in specialized farms. But these should be extremely expensive and work intensive to run so definitely not for just anyone. Glyphs need to remain relatively rare and expensive to prevent everyone becoming a mage I think.
-
that is hard to make mate but if u just make the crafting glypth skill like this: first do a quest and in that quest u discover how glypths appear and wat neaded to make one(resourses would be verry rare),u should enter a spot like a cave to find the resourses and then put thm all together in a bottle and then let it form a glypt and the forming prosses would take like few hours maby days so the process would be verry long and the glypths would still be verry rare and expensive.
the time it takes to form will depend on how much resouses u get and how much resourses u can get in like 1 time mining or harvesting would depend on ur glypth crafting skill.
like to craft a glypt u need 100 glypt ore 50 dark/crystal/... water and 75 mushrooms
to make one the time will depend on how much u put in the bottle lie wen u put just this in the bottle it will be ready in like 2 days if u do double it would be ready in like 1 day if u do triple times the resourses in it it would be ready in like 16 hours if u put 4 times the resourses in it it would take 12 hours etcetra .
def\'s kep up the good work

That lacks originality man .. think outside of the box! :P
Though I do like the cave image, the farms could be located in some damp caverns crawling with plantlife and bugs. There would be pools of water and crystals randomly popping up on the walls, floor and ceiling.
Some of those crystals could transform into glyphs then when they are treated in the right way.
And if there will be a quest to show someone how to make glyphs I suggest the quest is very limited so only a handful of people can discover that knowledge. Either because the quest is only available a limited number of times or that the requirements to recieve or complete the quest are so high, not everyone will be able to complete it. For example you \'d need to be a very skilled magician along with having a lot of intelligence to understand the knowledge. One would also need to have a substantial ammount of charisma to convince whoever posseses the knowledge to cultivate glyphs to share it with you. Then one would need to posses knowledge of the brown way for example to be able to grow the glyphs as well as possesing the right type of spells, resources and the proper location.

def\'s keep up the good work
