  • New sticker! This time it's Vahn!




    I do have another really big commission I've finished recently, but I'll wait for them to show it off…
  • (Quote) That would have been really funny to see.
  • Yeah, gonna have to agree with Fezz here. IC relationships, especially if you go the polygamy route, are hard to manage in keeping people happy, and the whole point is to NOT make people feel like a notch on the belt. Adding spouses to Rankings woul…
  • We already have multiclassing. Some people only have their guild class, others have several classes. This 'under representation' is largely combat-oriented, and the ones that are under represented are usually ones that don't mesh well with team figh…
  • There was a period before tethering where classes that weren't normally available to one side ended up fighting on that side (Teradrim fighting on Spirit, Templar fighting on Shadow) and they ended up synergizing frighteningly well. It's not really …
  • Double post, but I've realized why it is that production facilities are so massively overburdened.

    Provisioning was released at the same as farming was, but not nearly as many people are engaging in it. I tend to dedicate two or three far…
  • Another QoL change to farms I loved was the ! point that pops up when a farming event happens on your farm so you don't have to scramble around looking for it.
  • (Quote) Yeah, I've noticed that too. Cotton only grows in two seasons, but has very fast regrowth. Hemp has to be replanted and takes 7 days to reach maturity. Every clothier in every city gets backed up with hundreds of cotton every season, and i…
  • I'm not a math person, but I've got some more farming statistics, along with the effect farming artifacts have. 

    * Leviathan Fertilizer/Artifact sycthe
    I have both of these. Fertilizer is amazing because I never have to worry about r…
  • If you do CITY PRODUCTION INFO in every city's production facility, you can actually see what they're charging in tax per item to produce comms, and the conversion ratio.

    I did the rounds this morning...

    Enorian
  • That's kind of when it gets to a point where a city ought to start rationing comms by either removing them from being able to be purchased entirely and then releasing them only a little at a time, or driving up the price to dissuade purchase. If sca…
  • So. A few things that have frustrated me with the Farming and Production system, and the move to a player-run economy, and a lot of it is actually on the player side of things. Bear in mind, this is from me brief experience with comms in Enorian, so…
  • Another piece I managed to finish on the shiny new tablet. New art, new year. Say hello to Rak and his little horde of adorable chicks! (there's supposed to be more chicks, but doodling two dozen criminally cute birds can get a bit messy).

  • Still no Esterport bank room? None of the rooms work for the Iron Bank and I've tried the commands a few times now. It'd be great to have a vnum for it.
  • I received a really awesome screen tablet for doing artwork for Christmas from my husband (an Artisul D16), so I'm finally getting a chance to break it in. Behold! My first art on the new tablet. So have a criminally cute Zealot class Aeryx!
  • Psh. Really? This is what I keep playing in my head during the Flintbeard boss fight.

    in Lore questions. Comment by Phoenecia January 2020
  • Phoe, initially, did not like Aeryx, and saw him as an overeager, overambitious meathead from yet another family trying to throw its weight and name around. It wasn't until sometime after that Herald election that he stumbled onto her in her …
    in Aeryx Comment by Phoenecia January 2020
  • So, where exactly is the room for non-thethered people to access the bank in Esterport? 
  • Also. Market orders? >_>
  • It's kind of too late for it now, but was the Celesmas tree shop ever supposed to make a comeback this year? The path to it did eventually open up, but spewed you back to the Cave. Was kind of looking forward to being able to get more perfumery and …
  • (Quote) That exists already. There's a wrapping paper design in Papercraft
  • Been a while since I've done any new art, so I did a thing. Have a gander at Aeryx! Got some new brushes I had been playing around with, and some old ones I've finally found a use for.

    in Drawings of Aetolia Comment by Phoenecia December 2019
  • Crafting list has been updated! The Fishing tab now has a listing of all fishing holes, room numbers, ranks, and available fish. I might have missed some fishing holes, so please let me know!

    At some point I'll get the tabs for metals/min…
  • Easy. They hit adulthood at 50% happiness . They start at 30%. Probe your animals to check. Tada. 
  • Really big criticism of the most recent episode: very heavily Spirit side focused in the discussion on cities, with more than half the episode talking about Duiran (to the point where the episode desc probably should have said discussion about Duira…
  • (Quote) Every single crop has a different grow time, and some stick around and grow more after harvesting.

    All livestock start at 30% happiness, and reach maturity the next day after hitting 50%, but they need to be tended every RL day.…
  • So, a few things you might want to clear up ahead of time or consider since Aetolia is kind of unique. Another player, Saervok, was attempting to stream Aetolia on Twitch not long ago, in the hopes of raising the popularity of MUDs like D&D has …
  • The dress for the ithkitten costume I actually lifted from a manga called Tokyo Mew Mew. The hair ribbon on the shrine maiden costume sticker is a nod to Reimu from the Touhou games. >_>
  • MORE STICKERS!

    Finishing up my last few batches now, including the 'If I have time' ones for the people that caught me a bit late in the month.

    Golden Ithkitten Isia (I realized far too late that tengus are the ones with wings,…
  • Desperately trying to finish the last of my Halloween stickers before I leave for vacation.

    Have a ghost pirate Lexen!
