Starting tomorrow, we'll have some live action merchant work at Duskruin as a bonus offer this run to make up for some of the delays. This will include some services like general alterations, features, tattoos, and possibly some other services in line with what you'd find at a wandering merchant. Services will be very low cost in bloodscrip (between 100 to 500). Since the area will be open over the weekend and through Labor Day, you'll have several opportunities to gain some work!

Wyrom, PM

Now that's the kind of low cost stuff I wanted to see as a thanks. Thanks for listening to feedback.

@Wyrom Bring out the lesser black ora weapon unlocks! Charge like 5k bloodscrip.

Don't wandering merchants offer W/P/S now?! LOL, j/k.

A much better response than "we stuck some rare stuff in the hopper". I am curious why they have not sold light/deep certs directly for BS though, that would seem like the natural progression after making the certs for Delirium Manor. Just a simple +200lbs epic deep cert for 6k BS. Or something along those lines, to free up having to do them manually.

@Mogonis, weapons or jewelry?

@Ordim, definitely something we thought about, but just weren't sure on having them 100% unlimited.

@wyrom A general comment/request... for those who haven't been around in a while and missed a good chunk of time, it would be really nice if there were an option to get OTS versions of things when a merchant comes around to unlock them.

For example, I go to a merchant doing, oh, I don't know, lesser black ora jewelry unlocks. If I get spun, I have the opportunity to get a locked version of said item (and it can't be unlocked at that session).

And maybe not every time, or for every 'thing', but if this was an option the majority of the time unlocking was offered, that'd be fantastic.

@0zymandius, makes sense. I'll note it for a discussion point with staff.

Both?

I likely won't get weapons approved. But jewelry is something I could probably do.

When you unlock black ora jewelry, does that convert them to pin worn like other black ora jewelry items? I'm not sure I've ever encountered black ora jewelry unlocking before, only seen the weapons.

@Wyrom any chance for adding additional games to gambling kits this weekend? I bought a T2 unlocked gambling kit that comes with Wheel of Adventure and roulette, but I've heard you can add other games. If so, I would love the opportunity to do so. I'm hoping to use this for White Haven events.

For the jewelry, it just has to be one of the lesser ones (permanently worn type). It doesn't change the worn location, just gives it the other functions.

Those are the only two games they are coded with. I've thought about making some new games.

A poker game would be AMAZING.

Single deck poker games might be possible, but more as a standalone item. Doing something like an 8 shoe blackjack game would break my brain.

Thanks for the reply. The kits are already very fun with just the two games. I would have no idea how to run a traditional roulette table without auto-betting of some kind, but there are so many endless possibilities with both games.

Ordim

It's pretty straight forward, I'll probably be doing it in the near future. Just trying to figure out if there is a way to spice it up a bit.

If it involves me doing math of any kind, you can count me out. Even counting me out is too much counting for me.

I've been trying to get a "real" poker deck for some time. I could make it using paper, if there was only a way to get a random thing from a container. Asking for a rummage syntax to get a random item has been something a number of people have said would be great.

L2Read, Wyrom! Haha. I said weapons. I have a lesser falchion burning in my locker. Why's it so off limits? If you charge a high amount of bloodscrip (5-10k), that seems like a fair compromise.

@wyrom-- I know its a super late request, but how about shield resizing? if not this Duskruin then maybe soon?

All my shields seem to be too small.

high amount does not equal 5-10k.
