Name Suggestion:



Cavaliers of Vengeance

Only because the word knight is so overused.

Hmm, is 'Knight' really a so overused word? I only know one, maybe 2 active guilds with this name, I think there are much more overused names, like 'Order' and much guildnames with a form of 'Light'.

I really like your guild project Duraza, keep on working on it! It has a great potential, it is not the all day 'We protect Yliakum' guild. Even though I think you will change some points in your guild structure. But that's the same with all guilds, a guild is created and formed all the time by it's members, only a bad arranged guild is static, so don't worry.

Remember to act in-character as much as possible when talking to others! We are all working towards a Roleplay atmosphere in PlaneShift. OOC should be used only in /tell with a GM, in the help channel or in petitions. All other communications have to be IC. OOC text should be designated with brackets - [ ] - as regular text comes from the mouth of your character, who knows nothing about computers, video games, the internet, or Picasso

Planeshift is full of these discrepancies, but pssst or a mod will tell you it's point of view... 

To be serious: Planeshift is made only by a few people, so don't be impatient or annoying with thinks like this...by the way: why are there only a very few who are in the planeshift team? I am quite sure there are a lot of smart people who would work for free for planeshift, maybe you have to concentrate on recruiting of new members. It seems there are too much testers and too less team members. Of course, more members means more coordination but I think that should not be the problem I hope.

Yes, I think of tools like rock picks and hammers, or even kitchen tools for cooks would be great to make from metals.

Also, iron and coal, - components needed for steel are less rare than for bronze, what makes steel even more superior. Of course in Yliakum natural resources are  maybe differently rare.

The question which material you should be able to work on at first is not a question of the quantity of it, it is a question how easy you can work on it, means which has a low smelting temperature and which allows little mistakes in the amount of the part of an alloy.

once again the prehistorical order metal was used:

- at first copper
- then bronze (maybe an accidentally alloy made at a place in east europe where tin and copper can be find at the same place)
- same time with bronze gold and silver
- at last iron, later then hardened with coal, maybe accidentally too from the roman province Noricum where iron can be found with a high amount of carbon

But I see no need to make a sense with working on the metals, it is Yliakum and not the real world. It's like crafting, nobody would sharpen a blade and than hammer it several times to raise the quality of the blade. In Yliakum we do. An other example is that we cannot use molten iron to make steel, in real world this is the normal way to make steel...

Just as addition: The only useful metal for crafting is steel. There is no way to use iron stocks, neither for weapons nor for shields (you can only make shield parts but you cannot combine them to a shield)

If you think about the use of metals in the prehistorical order (after Christian Thomson's so called 3 period system) you have to use at first stone, then copper, then bronze, then iron and then steel.
But PlaneShift is a fantasy world, only with a medivial touch, means we don't have to use this order. 

For now there is already a order in metalurgy: iron, steel, silver and bronze and finally gold.

What I would prefer is that you can add some minerals like diamonds if you are a more skilled crafter to sharpe your blades. This weapons would have a higher slash than normal steel weapons then.

In general I agree with rtrentc, there are so many different types of weapons ingame but you can only craft a few types. Only axemaking allows you to make two non standart types of axes, but these are still bugged.
What I want to say: There are e.g. bronze short swords in the game as well as bronze but you cannot use bronze to craft bronze swords.
An other interesting thing would be if a very high skilled magician could be able to make dark or fire or other types of magic weapons from crafted weapons. But that's another issue...

No more high quality weapons made from me in game

 

Well Tutoned, you were one of the crafters who made a lot of Q300 swords in the old release, you even was not afraid to offer them in  public. Don't complain about a bug now. If there is a bug (making copies of old Q300 swords with the help of stacking and repairing) you don't complain, you use it to your advantage.

By the way: don't tell us you are able to make Q264 short swords a legal way, in the old release! These 'several Q264' swords was made with the help of a bug, so it is only justice if they became nearly useless now 

In my opinion the best way would be to have all skills with level 0 trained full, so the player can start in the game even if the NPCs are impervious. So there is no need for starting money or starting-item. Money is easy to get, as begggar, as helper who carries raw materials for a miner and other jobs like quests of NPC's.

Yes, Drah, it is possible that you got ripped of, ripped off from a cheater. The person who earned the 400k earned them with using a bug.
But now nobody will be able to craft new ones in this way.

@lorac: I don't understand what you want to say to me. I already said that the bug is fixed now. But why do you talk about mules that carry over weight? If I have only one mule that can carry 220 weight then the mule could carry 220 daggers. Imagine I have 10 mules, and imagine there are 10 crafters who have each 10 mules. Maybe now you can imagine why the weapon market will be saturated in future from the mules, and why it would last a long time until the econemy with weapons will be balanced.

I have no idea if you ever crafted a weapon, but if you woul spend month at the anvil you woul recognise the problem that was. But, now it is fixed except the fact that there are still big amount of the weapons. And: there are still Q300 weapons in the game, even after the update, they aren't now Q250.

Maybe I should tell some background nowledge to clarify:

- there was a time everybody was able to do high quality weapons, even with a quality over 1000
- then there was a downgrading for all this weapons to Q250
- after the downgrading there was a little time everybody (without any skills in blacksmith and weapon making) was able to do Q300 weapons
- then there was a new crafting system implemented, the system that is the actuell system: now you are able to make a Q40 weapon with much luck with blacksmith and weaponmaking level 0. But, person who made a Q300 in the short time during the downgrading to Q250 and the change of the crafting system was able to make copies of them, as much as they liked to do. They just made a weapon (maybe Q25) and stacked it on a Q300 they have crafted (only if they were the crafter) and repaired both weapons up to Q300/300.

That's what I complained about, and why I asked to wipe the weapons, because they are made with the help of a bug. And we all use these bugcrafted weapons now, we paid the cheater to cheat for us.

In my opinion you are afraif of a wipe because you spend your money for the bugcrafted weapons. But: Ignorance is no excuse and we are testers, so you have to live with a wipe, if it is coming. As I said: The silverweaves and trias you could find everywhere was wiped too.

To the issue about better weapons than Q300/300 I say nothing because I don't know them. Though I am a very experienced player and my char can equip all weapons that don't need over level 200 in a stat. Saying 'better weapons' means: making more damage in the same time.

Some food for thought:

From Hydlaa plaza it's approx:

15 seconds to the sewers,
30 seconds to the arena
20 seconds to the dungeons
45 seconds to either city gate
 

Well, the time in Yliakum is not the time on your clock, Valorius. But a good roleplayer knows this.
