The stealthy subguild idea is nice and reflects structure of the military quite well, nowdays we have special forces and it would be cool indeed to see a icesus version of this, but as always it would open up a big can of balance worms, can you imagine a militia with sneaking skills and archery leve...

While, I'm not going to sit here and argue ridiculous numbers with you. The fact of the matter is that if what you say is true and players around 15-20m worth are able to succeed quite well with or without blessings and reach whatever ungodly sum of total exp there is now...that this essential &quo...

Exploration is your friend here if you are the type of player Iluth describes. By level 15-20, it's entirely possible to gather sufficient df for most modest blessings (20ish df drain or so) without spending a dime (or silver, in this case). 20df per tick is beyond all level 15-20 players, unless t...

Yes, but not all players get that much df eq or even party. For players who leatherwork and make arrows, fish, hunt, or basically play quite slowly df can be a pain to see it draining when you're not off gathering df eq. The only answers are to either keep some money aside and buy cheap df when you ...

Air priests from what i can see are very effective in parties but almost useless solo, that is what they are meant for. Air priests are still very much in demand btw, all i ever see is people asking for air priests, no longer archers and mages. All the fashionable blaster guilds have taken place as ...

I can remember a time when a fellow shadowdancer got a raise in shadowdancing skill from me, when i hid in the same room as him, also i remember a ranger managed to "teach" a party member some whirling blades.

It's rare but apparently possible to teach other players in some form.

I would really like to see other uses for the skill cooking than just burning meat over fire. Baking bread or cakes for example would be neat. Drying/smoking chunks of meat for later usage and so on. With higher skill percent one could be able to prepare better foods with almost magical quality : s...

Just repeating something i heard on chat from a highbie who wouldn't usually talk rubbish about such things.

Alignment is actually the wrong word, it's apparently some (hidden) numerical value which shows how close you are to your element.

Or some command like 'set ignore_preachers'

Especially annoying for us guys who worship earth, when some air priest comes along and catches you unawares (idling) and lowers your elemental alignment for free.

I've been thinking lately that elven rope would be a very neat item. For some of the essential stuff in icesus there's a lighter version of it which can be carried around to save on space and weight, thinking specifically of shovel, sleeping bag and other useful things to reduce weight like magic po...

I think the cheapest blessing is around 150 pdf... you can get 1/4 permanent blessing for just 50 pdf if i remember correctly... That's interesting, i didnt know you could get any kind of blessing for less than 150, i thought you could only buy specials with pdf. What would you do with 1/4 of a ble...

I think the cheapest blessing is around 150 pdf, if you have 13 or so like me theyre just quite useless, though you can get quite a bit of pdf by becoming a jaa-ry member, just don't bother to try and get enough by submitting bug or typo reports ;)

I think this is a great idea, unfortunately any such thing would mean a downtune to the melee skills rangers have to compensate. Add to that, Galiere has said for a long time that there will be no "pets" for rangers, which i think would include temporary taming, maybe it's a balance issue ...

Perhaps beholders could sit in one of those wagons you can buy and ride around with some mount pulling it, like a farmer or guy from them cowboy movies.
