Essentially, a backpack-portable version of a number of the house add-ons for crafting that are tool-powered, that would be blessed and hold repair deeds for all skills.

I can see a use for it, if for any reason to help keep down house item counts. It's not like many people still pass items to strangers to repair stuff.

I thought we already had a multiple page thread about this?

Well anyways my vote still stands for recipe books and shared turn in points per server vs by character.
I vote for all the above including the repair books.

Maybe it's just me, but since the game is turning 20, I wouldn't want them to lowball a gift by giving is something that probably belongs as a holiday gift.

It would be great if that book could be placed on a vendor with dees in . 125 repairs that a vendor holds now is very little. Smith, tailor, carp, tinker, stonecraft ,alter deeds...Eiter you have to stock several times in a day at busy places or set uop a bunch of repair vendors at busy shops.

1) Some sort of device or artifact that can link all the items in the account: Bank items, house items, backpack item and what is being worn, so we can easily find stuff that we might thought we lost.
So for say, you cannot remember where you left such an item, well if the whole account is indexed, you can search for such item and the system says, item is on X char in their bankbox or backpack or in the house chest X.
Call it the house cleaner, similar art can be used from the Bar keepers or stewards.

2) Mastery scroll book holder, same as he have for PS, SOTS AND SOAS, a book where we can put in the Masteries we get as storage
and maybe even use same system to upgrade them, so X of level 2s to make a Level 3. (This last part is optional, but for storage reason would be good if we did)

3) Account-bound, Mythical tokens, you can get 1 every 3 months, so players can make new character in new places.

4) Runic hammer/chistle/saw holders, similar art to the already one we got for normal stuff, but this one just for runics, as it should of been!

on Alex's #4 suggestion. Rather than cluttering up the floor spaces with a bunch of new tool machines, a single box usable by an Imbuer.

Put in a number of the same type of runic, activate the box, and it merges the runics, up to a max use number that approximates an ASH. The runics it can be used on would be limited to those low-end ones that have 30 or more uses natively.

While Runics can currently be combined to 100 uses, this is really only good for mid-to-high-end runics, as DC-Bronze Hammers/Mallets, Spined Sewing kits, and Oak & Ash saws/fletching kits can only be merged 2 to 1.

Gold hammer/mallets and Horned kits can be merged 3/1 (though, if you are willing to burn off 5 charges on every 3rd tool you can get Bronze & Ash tools to 100).

Only at 25-use tools can you get 4/1, 20-use at 5/1 and 15-use 6/1.

The lower runics are now so easy to get via the changes to the point system (you can do the PS and anvil deeds for hammers, and no getting one of those from the old multiple-choice system), so the issue is now storage of the ones many of us already have. On the other hand, their lack of combining in any useful numbers means that the current combination system only benefits those with large numbers of high-end runics.


On the other hand, a forge that holds ASHs like the current one holds regular hammers, would be useful as well. Or, for that matter, the ability to convert ASH to Talismans that do the same thing, for use with runics, instead of the current legal "trick" required to use both together.

They should be giving everyone another house and a free month of game time and/or even more sovereigns per account.

I'll pass on the books and the runic holders etc.

I wouldn't care it were any other year.

Do the first few and then give everyone a piece of personalized pixel crack in sick colors or neon.

Engrave it and have some cheesy line "I survived "x" and all I got was this". Or "Thanks for an awesome 20 years..." (Ps we are closing down on Monday). Happy anniversary!!

If it's going to be some book don't bother..

With all the discussion regarding stable size needing to be increased with all the new tamables, how about a stable that's about the size of the garden shed and can store 125 item(pets) that can be used by all that have access to the stable(container)?

Don't pick on my delicate touch with photoshop. I stole it from a kids coloring book. ;)

Stable to work like garden shed.jpg

I would prefer 125 as well I'm on your side but even 10 would be cool
I just don't see them giving us 125 with the only 2 trolls here posting over and over to cap us

Hell im still not seeing valid point as to why even have a cap

No one does... I would say but the two trolls but they would troll regardless and as I told Dot you can't troll a troll... they are only here to troll.

a small stable, similar to the garden shed - THAT would be cool...
and the stable would work like the hitching post, but could RES one pet a day!

you know, cos is your SPECIAL STABLE!

But I'm sure they already have something. So how about making this a 25th Anniversary gift option?

(yes, I am an optimist)
