  • Some new art today! All of these are freebies from my art draw way back in March. Yeah...it took me that long to get to them. Sorry!

    Bulrok

  • When groups start getting large, individuals kind of need to start showing restraint to a degree (which, in this game, people, y'know, tend to not do for anything).

    When I was still participating in combat, I'd jump in to help if help was…
  • A few other things:

    Growth for trees got reduced to 9.5 RL days down from 12. Hemp got a slight reduction to 6.5 from 7. Trees are the big one as you're not as likely to get screwed over if you don't resummon your water sprite right away.…
  • Here are the new ratios for level 3 facilities, in case anyone is curious:

    1 trunk -> 13 wood
    3 hide -> 11 leather
    14 cotton -> 10 cloth
    16 hemp -> 11 rope

    Wood got a MASSIVE boost to viability since …
  • Howdy! I've been pretty invested in Farming and Provisioning since the beginning, and am pretty experienced with both systems, so I can probably give you some realistic (and probably rather blunt) answers.

    Farming is a little bit of a dec…
  • If people really want it, toss it to Builders. It's, y'know, kind of their job, and there's precedent of builders working on class skill redskins (like shifters, for example). Would leave Celani to work on whatever projects need working on, and it'd…
  • Heh. As a player that's HIGHLY invested in the trade and mercantile aspect of the game, and playing a largely merchant character, I can talk a little bit about that.

    Aetolia has very active trade and commerce, and it's highly competitive.…
  • I was making a new summer layout for my Twitch stream, and someone suggested I do a sticker of Phoe in a swimsuit. So...here we are!


  • When you send messages or tells to someone who you've interacted with a lot in the past, but now seem to never respond because they're either AFK or fishing and the tells/messages get lost in the spam. But this happens literally every time they're o…
  • Success in PvP in Aetolia is hinged on two things: how well you know your class and your skill at scripting an offense or access to one someone can give you. Because afflictions and cures are pretty predictable in Aetolia (and also the presence of F…
  • Howdy! Welcome aboard.

    I used to play Achaea a few years ago, and have some friends that play on Achaea now (and I occasionally hop on myself), and most of the differences mostly come from thematics and RP.

    The biggest differen…
  • That's the exception, not the norm, though. I have a lot of comms because there's been a few people that have retired over the last while that give me everything in their cache when they do. But otherwise? With stuff like gold and silver, I buy the …
  • It's both amusing and frustrating that not only can you not be completely self-sufficient as a player, but it seems like cities can't be either, and the game mechanics seem to reinforce that. While the only thing stopping people and cities from aski…
  • Allow me to say: this batch of stickers was REALLY fun to do. I had to resist turning Ephi's outfit into Edelgard from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. >_>
  • Hiya folks! Still working on my current batch of requests (getting close to finishing) but still accepting new ones. If I still owe you art and I haven't let you know about the status recently (like in the past week or so) gimme a poke! I really don…
  • Finished some more art! A sticker for Ahlysaaria.


  • While I'm just as eager about mirror classes, don't forget that the big, honking thing that was MINING has still been promised and is supposed to be being worked on. There was an ETA given for Mining previously, and that date has come and passed. I …
  • Yay, finally completed some art from my freebie draw from back in...March now? Yeesh. Still working on my list.

    Here's a Martinaux from my freebie raffle!

  • Edit: yeah, nope. Holding my tongue.

  • I'd totally buy minipets from other games if they were made available! 
  • This should totally be a thread about all things minipet. Minipet Menagerie! 
  • I have quite a few minipets, and I've tried to be cute or clever with the names. Among my favourites... 

    Plague doctor penguin: Poveglia. Poveglia is the name of an island in Italy that housed victims of the Plague, and is rumored to be h…
  • Yay! Cows have a use beyond just leather now. Just need to start adding stuff like eggs, wool, and milk to market orders and people might keep their livestock around.

    Also, uh... Unless I've been using the command wrong or there's special…
  • And it's stuff like the above is why I feel like the whole thing won't be treated with sensitivity or maturity.
  • I did bring up the initial division of Shadow side during the Liruma War.

    I will list off all the Spirit events that I know of where there were a division of sides, confusing or conflicting information of what to do, or trying to do the r…
  • While some of the problematic aspects have been mentioned, there's still a few more that haven't.

    The whole 'For Sapience' thing has a very ultranationalist propaganda vibe. Okay, on it's own, not a problem.

    Then there's the as…
  • It feels like being railroaded. The way it appears is that if you're not on board with the Bamathis and Sapience vs Albedos train and the way THEY want it carried out, you get dismissed. And this has been reinforced by not only players, but also eve…
  • A large part of the Duiran support of Bamathis frustration is that there's been opposition to it for months, and repeated asking of various Spirit for some kind of support, which has been super inconsistent and waffling. Even more frustrating? About…
  • I did check the roll for for stag horn earlier. Before, it was 5-10. After the change, it's now 8-10.
  • (Quote) I've actually gone and counted the number of mobs that exist for each Apothecary reagent in the main areas they're found and recorded them in my crafting spreadsheet. >_>

    Originally, there were only a total of 10 mugy…
