I'd like that to be a parry ability. Take aggro and gain some damage absorption or DCI or something.
Parry would also be a good pick to have such ability.
But fantasy paladins are known to be noble and brave, so an ability to clear aggro from others and get it into him would fit that pretty well.

Guarantee you it will be hard to get. Nothing is easy to get when you don't lose items.
I know, that's the problem, it may work on normal shards but sure not on Siege. I always forget how it work on normal shards :(

Hey man, we beat all the encounters including the roof but all of the encounters reset (back to red)and the doors did not open (which i assume is the goal here).

ALso there are a bunch of no draw tiles east of Jukari tribe by the lava.

Well, you should know by now that they won't spend any extra time on making sure something works for siege. It will be exactly like it is on prodo shards or I'll eat my tiger skin hat.

How often does your armor get so damaged that you have to apply POF to prevent it from poofing? Out of curiosity...
Never really thought about. As needed lol Oh another thing about imbuing. Imbuers always stick their name on it. I ain't ur billboard lol. People have told me they buy my stuff cause I don't ever put my name on it, or request I make them stuff cause they don't like names all over their furniture and stuff and I normally do that kinda thing. I don't have a problem with imbuing if someone uses it. Perhaps I've just been around a long time. But I've acquired so much high quality stuff that's not imbued, I just don't see the point in using it for myself. Normally the stuff I find is so much cheaper I just don't get it. I love to shop and just always keep an eye out for bargains on nice items.

Well, if you love shopping then that's one thing. Imbuing absolutely makes most other items obsolete, or at least not worth paying an arm and a leg for. I don't have a problem with someone choosing not to use imbued items, I actually have a character who only uses stuff she finds, but if you are holding out because of fear of breakage, then you are just making your own life needlessly difficult, because really you can easily go years of active play without replacing, and even when you do replacing takes like 20 minutes, and you get exactly the stats you want, so altering your suit is not an issue.

As for someone putting their name on it I don't really think anyone imbues much for others. I would guess 99% of all imbued suits were made by the wearer, so youd probably have to level the skill, which I imagine would be hell on a prodo shard. :(

That's working as intended, after beating Shadowguard your progress resets. Under normal circumstances you would receive phat lootz, and be treated some celebrations of your heroism, but we are still in the process of phatifying lootz and preparing celebrations.

The crafter name you see on an imbued item is the name of the crafter who created the item, not the artificer that imbued it. There is no way for an artificer to leave their mark on an item. Also, it is possible for an item to be imbued multiple times by multiple different artificers.

If you don't have imbuing skill on any of your crafters but need imbued items, why not craft the base items yourself and then hand them over to the artificer? Unlike enhancing, there's no risk that they will destroy the item your crafter made when they add to or increase/decrease properties on the item your crafter made.

You don't need to phatify the loot too much. Just put some random pants slot clothing with 3 hpi or 5 mi or 5 stam inc and everyone will be there doing it. :p

Good to know, one more thing. We tried the fountain instance with 3 people and after maybe a few minutes it booted us out and did not allow us to go back in until it reset.

also sometimes when failing the armory it goes ahead and marks it as complete

This. And a good crafter I knew years ago would NEVER put his name on things. He wanted it to be rare. You had to be VERY special for him to make you an item with his name on it.

I still have and cherish my axe crafted by PorkChop Jesus.

He was my favorite crafter. Back when they always were around Tram Britain's Smithshop by the Cemetery I would always wait till he was there to fix up my gear. Only back then he was "The Dread Lord PorkChop Jesus".

I read somewhere that the Special berries you get from the champ spawn in Eodon you can feed to your Dragonturtle, thus training it in specific resists.
So imagine no you can now train a GD with a maxed resist? I think that tops the scales into the DT camp.
Nope. I have a Dragon Turtle Hatchling, and i've fed it Yellow, Blue and Purple Edible Berries, and their stats do not change at all. Neither does their Breath type change. I notice no change whatsoever after feeding them Edible Berries, despite any insinuations from "The Dragon Turtle prefers a sandy habitat nearby to water and is known for having an appetite for berries."

Why does the chef's toque I just made out of cloth say its "barbed?" o_O

The evening gown clips horribly in the EC. In the CC, its just a hot mess on the avatar when dyed.

Also, the kilts on the avatar look pretty bad in both clients when dyed... :oops:

Please let the lootz be really phat. It's been years since there was an item I really wanted. I know everyone is terrified of disenfranchising crafters or unbalancing PVP, but seriously, I bought a really nice crafted suit and some weapons a couple years ago and I haven't lusted after an item ever since. My crafted suit never wears out because I never need to do any serious farming because there's nothing I really want.

If you show off the lootz and you see defenders on this forum saying things like "Well it's good for newer players!" or "It could be good for RP!" then you'll know you screwed up and need to buff everything. Those are just code for "I can't call these items good with a straight face but still want to be positive!"

Make it like the orny was when it was first introduced....remember how EPIC that was?? We were like...leet if we had the orny...hell I was still using mine up until a few months ago.

Make us go OMG OMG OMG I HAVE TO HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW!

I know it's gonna be hard...what with imbuing/reforging etc we can put pretty much anything we want on our weapons and armor now...so here's a question for everyone...

What would you like to see on a piece of phat lootzs?

Something that can't be imbued....I can't think of anything offhand...but what would people consider phat lootz?

I like that there's a cloak on the list of new artifacts. For some reason this game has a really weird relationship with the "clothing" slots. They'll add a few stat items for those slots during events, but then make them unobtainable the rest of the time. Or they'll add one or two items for a slot and then never revisit it again.

Case in point, we could really use more choices for the belt slot than just crimmy or tangle, or a blackthorn reskinned crimmy or tangle. It's been like 10 years since the first statted item debuted for that slot and somehow we still only have two.

Why are all the native tribes Karma loss? I'm a Paladin and I hate Karma loss. These guys attack me and I hit back and they charge me Karma for returning fire? hmmm, don't seem fair somehow.

We could use more cloaks, more earrings, more belts, more sashes...

You cant access Eodon shard unless you were part of the beta group. Test has been working fine so it may be a connection issue on your end if you have a high packet loss.

you could try pinging the server or do a tracert

How can your name not be on an exceptionally crafted item? I make exceptional items and my name is there automatically.

Hey just a quick question. I noticed going into a couple of the encounters such as the armory and fountain after completing it, it boots you out after a minute or so.

Is this intended?

You should get teleported out after you win the tower, a short time goes by that allows you to collect your friends, belongings, loot etc...is that what you are seeing?

Not sure how we will be accessing the new lands from the existing ones, moongate etc. All I hope is that once we get access we can actually MARK RUNES and be able to recall to various locations. If they make it like Ilshenar where you have to walk everywhere I doubt I will be going there much. Right now I don't see anything worth killing or farming. The tribes have bugger all on em not to mention karma loss, once you have one tiger that is the end of that adventure, and the dinosaurs don't seem to have anything uberly unique to worry about and you can't tame em. If you have to run everywhere over all those little bridges and waterways I guess the attraction will last about 10 mins.

My few attempts at the bar and stuff have so far seemed a bit of a waste of thirty minutes as far as loot goes, not sure what the 'main' items are etc as perhaps I haven't go that far yet, but on first go, unless there is somethign more to it, I doubt I will be doing that much. Pretty disappointing killing pirates, or tree fellows, drakes etc etc for the crap loot they have. The first time I killed all the bar stuff over and over no more spawned and I waited about 3-4 mins no boss arrived or anything then I got booted out with my 3k gold or whatever the pirates had. Please tell me there is more to it than this.

I guess the spawn seems to be the only thing there that may be worth doing, but until that hits production shards I lag too much to test it out. I did run all over the place and was totally disappointed with the fact that it seemed just karma sucking tribes with crap loot, a few dinosaurs and the odd tiger in all that space. Didn't see a pheonix, maybe I missed it or maybe it is only part of the spawn. I guess I was expecting a lot more.

Really? Do tell :) . Like bashing one pixel monster above another pixel monster gives some better 'feelings or karma or makes one more intelligent or something? Me, I prefer the one that gives the best loot and that it isnt' necessarily gold, but the mob has to have something 'useful' or why bother, may as well just kill the mob that gives the most. So yeah it is about the loot, once you have 'completed' something once (for the experience) unless there is 'more' to it in the way of loot or a chance of a drop or required resources then there is no point to it. It is why I don't see people out killing kappa's all day every day, cause there is better stuff to kill with better loot on it. It is very much about the loot.

A minute later it booted me out without beating it again.

A thousand times times.

Some of these people around here seem to think it's reasonable to expect thousands of players to run around going "Yay, new monsters to kill that don't have any loot! Yay I'll just stay subscribed for months on end to kill them over and over for no real reason! Oh wow you guys, spamming armor ignore on this thing for an hour and going home empty handed is so adventurous and fun!" and it just doesn't work that way.

Shadowguard...once you've beaten all 5 encounters you will have access to the roof. Once you beat THAT you'll be rewarded with...and I quote from Kyronix *Phat Lootz*. Of which they haven't phattened it up enough so it's not yet in game.

New lands...remember this is just the beginning...they will be adding more stuff to Eodon in the future. Champ spawn with a chance to get a baby turtle..that's awesome yeah?

New clothes, new armor, new craftables, new currency system, new masteries....

No you're right...there's really not much.

*waits patiently for the patch to Origin so I can start working on my castle* :)
