War's over!
I've disabled missions being generated. Next Howling no more will appear. You can still complete the ones you have for more rep/tokens. We're discussing conversion of that reputation into the proper org version. Org shops will stay open and I'll mention in a changelog when we add more items.
Quests and RP rewards will progress over some time as the factions recover and build, keep an eye on what they're up to.
Big reward time!
The Kobold race is now available, with a beautiful new format in its helpfile! Their mechanics follow:
Default statpack: Adaptive
Level 1: Nightsight
Level 25: Dig
Level 50: Scavenging
Level 75: Tinkering
Scavenging
----------
SCAVENGE <crafted item>
Destroy a crafted item for a small chance of regaining commodities used in its creation. The more decay time left, the better the odds.
Tinkering
---------
Items crafted by the player will have a 10% longer decay time.
A new item for the Ophidian faction shop:
a crystal of Kobold rebirth
---------------------------
When this crystal is in inventory, those level 98 and below will be able to REINCARNATE INTO <statpack> KOBOLD for free.
Those 99+ may CRACK CRYSTAL to change their heritage to Kobold.
They reset, do not decay, but are not bound. You may buy them for one another.
Temptation will be for this to become The Discussion of the war! Feel free to hit the forums, but our realtalk will be via a post mortem thread that I'll post when we're ready. That's where we can talk details, mistakes, victories, etc. Especially ideas for the future.

PS. Honors lines will be on their way.

I have the kind of personality that prefers to have nothing over something that's sucky.
Please go ahead and skip the rest of this post as it's not positive or uplifting:
I don't expect answers. I just want to ask these questions because I feel like they need to be asked. This is to make me feel better.
While it'll be weird and uncommon for the Spirit to want to become Kobolds, they are the fan favorite and the Ophidians were considered the swing faction that the Spirit could have sided with in the war.
Why was this Kobold crystal not sold on neutral ground?
(An Imp could be marketing them as a 'Temporary infiltration costume' not knowing (Or doing it to be mean) that the effects are permanent, for example. Imps would accept -all- currency, because they're Imps and they think they're ripping people off with this trick.)
Does the kobold crystal really cost 100 fancy coins?
Is it impossible(Post-war) to earn more tokens? (You mention there will be more items)
Why not keep the missions going but theme them towards reconstruction? (It was mentioned in the events post)
Is the kobold crystal gated behind an impossible(Post-war) to reach faction rank? (I can't see it)
Will we have a way of earning reputation with the various factions? (I really wanted to get Imp to max Rep)
Will this function(Reincarnate to change heritage) rollout to the other crystal of rebirth artifacts?
The big one: Since the currency required is on the winning side, isn't this just another way to push the Spirit playerbase into the mud?
Undecided on further gaining of tokens or rep. I see the argument both ways.
Or at least put a lifer ban on the Ophidian Empire.
@Tiur @Razmael
It's been just about a month now and I don't think we've heard much about this. Is there any update on faction shops with items for higher ranks, quests, converting army faction rep to the regular faction rep, etc?
I'm hopeful we get a cool stats thread. How many Mitrine/Ophidian were slain and who killed the most?! Who collected the most sweetgrass/roe? Who died the most often? How many quests were done? Who spent the most time in enemy territory, or in aura?
