An ampoule of putrescine

POURing this over someone will make them stinky! Can only be used once 
every 15 minutes. Great for making enemies! 

A bottle of potent energy juice

While holding this, it will grant you immunity to the 'tripping hard' 
affliction. 

A post office contract

You will no longer be charged for posting to the public news board.

A vocal amplifier box

This compass can be ATTUNEd to a single item that you are holding, or is
in the same room as you. Touching the compass will tell you where the 
item is, if possible! If being held by someone or something, it will 
tell you what's holding it, but not where the holder itself is.

    @razmael  When you say retiring, does that mean its just going away from being sold but those who bought the item will still keep and be able to use it??  Also does that mean that the item will come back sometime later??

    If the venom rag is gone for good after the 22nd, I'll be in mourning.

    Can venom rags be used for overlays?

    Yes. Source: I own one.

    Sweet, a spider minipet. I've been after one forever. I am pretty sure I even begged for one in an IDEA.

    Removed from the shop, but not the game. They'll probably not be added back to the shop.

    There's a clockwork spider available for sale in Delve already. You buy it with ylemshards.

    Any chance the venom rag could be made into a credit artifact?

    Edit: Either that, or the entire venom system overhauled? The sheer volume of vials (not the cost) is kind of annoying to maintain. A sentinel has 28 types of venom to carry, and due to the nature of overlays, they do actually use the obscure ones startlingly quickly (two overlay affs in a combo = 4 venom applications). I've no idea how many vials a properly active sentinel pvper carries nowadays (Angwe?) but I'd say it would need to be close to 100 as it is easy to chew through vials and vials of the common ones in a single fight, especially with traps added to the mix. Add another 50 vials for concoctions and it seems a bit ridiculous.

    o A moist washrag (20 Iron Coins)
      - This washrag can be used to SCRUB away bad smells quicker than
        normal.

    So uh...we've got a 100ic artifact that's almost instantly negated by a 20ic artifact? Is that right?

    When the Immortals say they're 'retiring' something, it means they're sending it on a trip to Belize.

    Venoms
      [  757] xentio             [  210] oleander           [ 1005] eurypteria
      [  699] kalmia             [  958] strophanthus       [ 1001] digitalis
      [  970] darkshade          [  785] curare             [  960] epteth
      [  823] prefarar           [ 1002] monkshood          [ 1018] euphorbia
      [  967] colocasia          [   60] oculus             [  950] vernalius
      [  937] epseth             [ 1040] larkspur           [  944] slike
      [  890] araceae            [ 1004] voyria             [ 1030] delphinium
      [  732] aconite            [  913] gecko              [ 1002] loki
    The ones that aren't 1000 are the ones I use every fight, discounting wonky ones like oculus and jalk. Like every class (I'm sure,) we burn through curare like the average American congressman burns through bribe money.

    I would guess the venom rag is being retired in preparation for Venoms become a general mercantile skill.

    No more venom rag makes me a sad panda. I'm in now shape whatsoever to buy it right now, but I have been wanting to get it for a long time, since it would make managing venoms so much easier, and as with Angwe, burning through curare at an insane rate.

    Credit artifact version of it would be beautiful. Otherwise..most of those new 'artifacts' are fairly disappointing in my eyes. I was initially excited about the leech rune price drop, then quickly did the math on its benefits, and it still doesn't amount to diddly.

    whats disappointing is the HELP ARTIFACT WEAPONS has not been updated with the new prices.   Nor have the HELP IRON COIN ARTIFACTS been updated with the new stuff.   

    I find myself referring to Forums or the Announce board for my Help files than the actual Help files.

    I got the new mindlock artifact and it didn't even work. I submitted a bug and haven't been able to test it since, so it might have gotten fixed.

    please explain to me the reason for that artifact?  I do not normally use my monk class that much so I am not 100% sure what the good in that would be.

    @Saybre: Leech is much better for bashing than it is for pvp.

  • MacavityMacavity Chicago, Il
    if the asp worked regardless if there was venom on the weapon or not, I would be all over that!!

    for both weapons I bash with, that's 500 credits, to get a whopping total of...*drumroll*

    About 85 health per combo. Helpful, but 500 credit helpful? I'm iffy about that.

    This is a common complaint about Templars actually as they are the only class that has to buy 2 of each rune to get the full effect.

    I wonder if it could be attached to a quarterstaff?

    Edit: Wait a minute; @Saybre you're doing 1700 damage a round while bashing? How slowly? Is that damage augmented much (i.e. artifacted)?

    Just saying. 5% of an annihilating crit is way more than 85 health.

  • SaybreSaybre
    Math was a bit off, I actually get less. For some reason I thought I was wailing more than I actually am.
    But yes, I have runed maces and strength artifacts. I specifically forged my maces to be the perfect balance for speed and damage for DPS, while having pretty nicely high crits.
