Was mostly asking because we have a bunch of house (org) mobs, and were considering stuff they do when we're not actively playing with them and tangentially were pondering if they might go hunting and such and eventually get endgame, since you -can- buy tough for a mob, though that seems much less climatic and sans buildup. Just idle ponderings, for the most part. You don't really see ascended mobs, often.

This prob belongs in lore questions, but is that because they -can't- ascend, aren't adventurous enough to have the -desire- to ascend or...something else entirely?

Super late answer, but we actually have three NPCs that have ascended! Baelak Shipbreaker, Nesventesh, and Andharai.

... Actually I think there was another one that I'm probably forgetting.

Aarbrok

Ati ascended I believe @Trigru

Obyn

As is Slyphe's current high priest.

recently noticed a change in the DEFENCE or DEF..

before it used to tell us what % the armour was cutting and blunt wise, now it just shows that we are wearing armour..

Any idea if the % has been deleted for good or, is it coming back? So I can delete it from my system..

BEFORE: ^Your armour offers you (\d+)\% increased protection to (\w+) damage.$

AFTER: You are wearing refined leather armour lined with gold for protection.

at what level technologically are drills canonically in the game? I figure with the state of Ylem mist driving things to Steampunk art-deco as it were, AND the mines that currently exist, I'd imagine that drills, while not exactly to these massive things that are like what we have IRL, but are at least just above hand-crank status? And out of curiosity, what exactly can a terramancer do in so far as metal goes? I figure we're like Earthbenders in a way, and cannot mould metal in the same way we can affect earth, but I also have to note that we actually use METAL flails to very great effect, our ability to control them being greater than the average person who is swinging about these three METAL spiked balls on a chain attached to a wooden handle.

Teani

I'd not push it too far into Steampunk. Most common thing in mining is still the pickaxe. Delve is more advanced than we are, and mining ylem is related to their research (as far as I know), meaning the things -we- do on our continent is still not as advanced as to be close or similar to that.

Malok

So, since we've gotten Nodesense in Bloodloch now, I made a set of triggers/aliases/script thingies today to go around trying to find minor leylines with it. My question is this, is it a bug, or an intended result, for seeing a minor leyline in the area using the LEYLINES command, but not being able to path find minor to it?

You reach a hand outwards and close your eyes, seeking for the ethereal energies of the leylines
around you.
There is currently no major focus in existence.
You detect 0 lesser foci:
You detect 1 minor focus.
There are a total of 9 foci globally.
Equilibrium Used: 2.32 seconds

There are no minor nodes in the area.

Areka

I've found that happens occasionally, though it's usually areas with special entrances (or Scidve and that stupid secret spot).

Malok

Ahh, I thought that might be the case, but I was just curious for confirmation given that it doesn't say it will fail on such a thing in AB RESEARCH NODESENSE.

Malok

Who should I contact in Aetolia if someone's embrace/bloodline is messed up? This has happened multiple times now, and I'm curious as to if there is actually one person who is supposed to be fixing/handling it.

You mean there are actually people whose bloodline is NOT messed up.

Riluo

Is the Black bloodwoods quest broken as I have cleared it twenty times this week and not a single bit of essence, furthermore there seems to be an invisible spirit in the area that can not be harmed.

Erzsebet

You mean Bloodwood? The lingering soul is a thing. Normal. Standard. There are a few that hang out in Bloodwood. Sometimes there, sometimes not. You just have to target by number where they're present, pretty much.

Essence dropping is fairly rare compared to essence dropping anywhere else. You did clear everything? Is usually get at least one after clearing all of the things in the area.

Riluo

Yeah every room which is why I thought I best ask. It is a huge pain to be honest that it keeps occurring.

Erzsebet

Usually should be at least one essence per run. 1-6 is about standard if you kill everything there unless you just have the most horrible luck ever--or more likely, if it's broken.

Is there any point to the map (a crisp map of Sapience) artifact now that monuments / the path system have changed?

Neoma

Do statpacks resistances show up on audit?

Neoma said:

I'd imagine so, since the statpack for Toughness has a magic-weakness and that shows up when I do AUDIT MAGIC, and before I had magic-resist stuff, it was visible as -10% for that.

Erzsebet

@Neoma : Yes.

If you break it down individually, it shows up like this:

audit fire
The following abilities and items are protecting you from Fire damage:
Racial Resistance: 10%

Neoma

@Erzsebet ok thanks and also I had completely forgotten we could audit each resistance to get extra info.

How does one go about getting a unique marriage honors line like @Eleanor has? Or was that a one time thing?

After being married to @Callidora for almost 3 years or whatever now, I thought it'd be nice to look into.

Trager

I believe it was last years Valentine event, where little certificates for it were given out. Rumor has it, people still have some lying around, but they certainly don't come cheap.

It's a valentine's day thing from a while back. Forget what it's called, but it's a rare certificate to get your hands on. Doubt there are any still around that are unused.

Nalor

This is more for an Admin and if this is intentional or just again, me bugging :P

If you do

queue focus focus###queue slice outc lobelia###eat lobelia###queue tree touch tree###

### being the separator, is it meant to fire each on its OWN balance?

As at present, its not its doing --

queue focus focus###queue slice outc lobelia###eat lobelia###queue tree touch tree###
Mana Lost: 250

You focus your mind intently on curing your mental maladies. (used focus)
You eat a lobelia seed.
You touch the tree of life tattoo.

You can't use separators to merge several queues atm, iirc. Not logged in, so I can't double check here, but that's the way I remember it going. So for that to work, you'd probably need to send it in 3 chunks, ie:
queue focus focus
queue slice outc lobelia###eat lobelia
queue tree touch tree

Nalor

thanks @Valingar I just figured ya could!

This was the way to let you execute numerous commands when the queue fires. As the queues are inherently a way to avoid lag, it doesn't matter when the QUEUE command itself goes through, but you may want to do a few different things when that balance returns, and a simple trigger WOULD be affected by latency if you sent multiple commands.

Hope that helps explain a little bit!

Zsadist

Is there some sort of randomized timer on the darkness conjuring arti during daylight? Because I have conjured darkness and then literally, 10s later, i'm being burned by the sun again in the same damn room.
