[In-Game Item Upgrades] A large painted sign...

***POST UPDATED 5/20/2012 - ***
**********************************************
As postings and notes are put up and taken down on the news bulletin boards of the Sleeping Dragon Inn, one may sometimes fail to note new postings or the departure of previous ones. Today, as you look towards the wall for new postings, you cannot miss the large oaken sign painted with the following black text:
**********************************************

I were lookin' ter scare up fundin' fer some projects o' mine.

Don't ye doubt, me services come at a premium, but be well worth me price.

Ye want yer fancy magic baubles ter go 'round slayin' evil?

Maybe yer evil yerself and want ter go 'round bullyin' and makin' the weak suffer with some magic toys?

I'm not fer carin' one way or t'other. Just be knowin' I kin make 'em fer ye.

Head out ter the graveyard, and wander ter the south. I'll be found in the woods there.

If I were in the mood ter be doin' business that day, (ie. DM Mythgar is available to run the scene),
I kin tell ye how much it'll be costin' and what ye'll need ter be gettin' in order fer me ter be makin'
yer precious toys.

Bring me some skeleton knuckles if ye be wantin' the best prices. The more the better.

And, no, I won't be givin' ye me name. There be power in such things, and I ain't fer trustin' ye with me name.

********************************************************
Out of Character Information- How this works:

1. First you select an item you own that you wish to add other properties onto. The additional properties may be the same properties that you have on a separate item or they may be totally new.

2. Next, you browse the contents of this post (specifically, the Complete list of Possible Upgrades below) for the item properties you would like to add to your chosen item. Be sure to read the Custom Item FAQ to ensure you do not select a restricted property (the restrictions on custom items also apply to upgrades).

3. Once you have a list of valid, available, non-restricted properties you wish to add, then you may check the contents of the next post down for the various previously posted gathering lists. If the property you want already has a gathering list posted, then simply check to make sure there are no additional restrictions in the gathering list, and proceed to gather those materials in-game. Post here when you have all the materials and I will try to catch you online to do the upgrade.

4. If your chosen properties do not already have a gathering list posted, then you may post an in-character request here and I will develop a list for you. Please be patient, this is all done on a volunteer basis and sometimes real-life does not cooperate with the goal of speedy turnaround. Also, to help ensure the least impact on the playtime of myself and other DMs, it is very helpful and appreciated if players requesting upgrades take the time to effectively organize the materials for their upgrades. It saves a lot of time and effort for the DMs if players are well-prepared when we come to provide upgrades.

Please, Please, Please, see this post for details on how to make your DMs life easier.

Note: Some players enjoy being helpful to others, and this is a fundamental part of the Aenean community. I would like to ask that help for the gathering quests be restricted to very vague hints to help someone find an item. I would also like to encourage barter or sale of the items needed for these quests, rather than just giving handouts. The idea is for the person who wants an item upgraded to put in some effort, or pay some cost in order to earn the upgrade. Thanks!

//ooc I notice you are limited to 10 resistance when adding resistance to slashing, bludgeoning or piercing on gear. Is that the same way on Custom items (used with the item vouchers) because the custom item FAQ in the forum gives no limit to resistance (including resistance to elements, only a limit of 50% on immunities).

//I also notice you have "Improved Evasion" listed as a feat you can add to gear. That feat is listed as restricted in the Custom Item voucher FAQ. Just thought you should know that... otherwise I might ask to add it to something.

//Also it seems that the limit for extra damage is 1d10 for main element and than a 1d6 for all others. I would like to know if this also the way it is for custom items as this is not specified in the FAQ.

[daveyeisley]

OOC:

Custom items are more flexible and have greater capacity than these upgrades.

If custom items have a restriction, then those restrictions apply to these upgrades. Hence, you are correct that Improved Evasion cannot be added. (it is listed in the upgrade list, yes, but it is not available. Not going to remove it because it would screw up the numbering and DMs use that list for other things like referencing property codes when we are manually editing items for NPCs or refunding lost items, etc)

Restrictions on upgrades do not apply to custom items. Only the custom item FAQ restrictions apply to custom items... but those restrictions do apply to these upgrades as well.

[Skywatcher]

My dear dwarf, I find myself in need of your assiatance yet again. I found myself short of the required skill to engage a demon lord in her lait. Can you perhaps add an enchantment to my armor that adds to my skill at arms?

OOC. Dave, Velvet couldn't even hit the demoness lady, what do you need for materials to add say 5 attack to her equipment?

[evilkittenofdoom]

Master Dwarf, in preparation for enhancing my robes that I've ordered recently, I'm interested in knowing what you would require in order to allow my robes to grant me knowledge and skill in using a shield.

I'm also interested in obtaining complete immunity to evocation spells, and once again, am curious as to what you'll require to do such.

Sincerely,
Aseph

[daveyeisley]

*Occ - I guess I will see what and how to make it happen. So if I have an already magical item and wanted to add more I can just simply ask to see if it can be happen? Is that how it works?

OOC: More or less. You choose an item, and then you choose what things to add on to it.

I would very much appreciate it if you consult the lists in the first 2 posts, as I went to a lot of trouble to format and organize them, so that I would not have to continually look things up for each person who made a request and then repost the info every time

I don't mind posting lists for things that have not been requested before, but its just wasted extra work for me to keep reposting old lists, or to repeatedly answer the same questions about what upgrades are available.

[Ra Cha Chongo]

Ya ya, Gog have dis necklace dat make him can stand up and keep fighting, but Gog think maybe it a good idea if it make him bigger and stronger and maybe not get dead so much, too.


//OOC: Looking for +4 AC, +4 Str, +6 Con, Heavy Armor Proficiency, and Death Immunity; just need a shopping list for the last two, please

And why does the bad spelling squiggle show up on "dat" but not "dis"?

[RustyDios]

Because dis is a recognised word in the dictionary :

Dis (ds)
n. Roman Mythology
1. The god of the underworld; Pluto.
2. The underworld.
[Latin Ds, from variant of dves, wealthy (from the belief that the underworld was the source of wealth from the ground); see dyeu- in Indo-European roots.]

dis or diss (ds)
tr.v. dissed, diss·ing, diss·es Informal
To show disrespect to, often by insult or criticism.
[African American Vernacular English, short for disrespect.]

The worst part is, I know that word; I guess it was just the 6 INT Orcish accent I was thinking in

Ya, Gog have stuffs! Gog even got extra stuffs for to make it make Gog feel better when not getting the face busted in!

OOC:// All set to go, and I'd like to add regen:2 if that's ok. Also, would you post the requirements for adding trueseeing? It's not for this item, but one in the future

//Exactly what is a 'Force Crystal' ?

[daveyeisley]

//Exactly what is a 'Force Crystal' ?

OOC: An item you haven't come across yet?

It is a small 1x1 blue crystal that is found in only one particular place in all of Aenea. Someplace where magical force energies are very strong. Getting there is fairly easy and safe if you know the way... but getting close enough for harvesting the crystal can pose a small danger.

[RustyDios]

//Exactly what is a 'Force Crystal' ?

Edited:: Information removed on Request by DM
A very rare and elusive item, that most do not know about and need to read up on, obtained in a similar fashion to the way we get liquid elemental essences...

It does have a unique use too, I believe from memory, that it cast the following spells : Magic Missile and Lesser/ Greater Missile Storm.... although it has been AGES since I went and got one...

Edited:: Information removed on Request by DM

((( ~ All this assumes that * I * have the correct force gem in mind though, I might be wrong ~ )))

[daveyeisley]

<snip> hints were very vague on purpose <snip> picked force crystals in the list <snip> not easily found. The whole point is in the exploration of the 'Quest' to find the materials. <snip>

[RustyDios]

Done

[Skywatcher]

Speaking of which, Velvet was in the area and wanted another, and clicked,bashed,cast on and cussed the "that which is not to be named" and it wouldn't give one up for her.

[daveyeisley]

Limit of 3 Force Crystals per character per reset I believe.

Much like elemental essences, you must drop the ones you are carrying on the ground in order to collect extras.

[Svair]

A Gnome enters The Dwarf''s abode, held aloft either by red wings or arcane drafts. Arcane Sight would reveal that she has no active spells excepting her passive equipment.

Karamip: "I would make a request of you."

She presents a spear with a dragon bone shaft.

Karamip: "I have five properties I wish for you to affix to this
weapon. You will find I have the necessary materials and wealth on my person. I may request more at a later time."

Spoiler:

Karamip: "It has been sometime since I mentioned the the name Veleron, but wish to know what you have found out per our last conversation. What do you know? What is your price? "

[daveyeisley]

The old dwarf points to a chest that has materialized along the back wall.

Put yer junk in the trunk, and we'll see about gettin yer staff magicked.

As fer Veleron, I can't tell ye much. Seems he wards himself against scryin' and divinination. Can't locate him, can't legend lore him. He must be able ter use his own magic.... and he's powerful. Nobody seems ter survive long after talkin ter him. Best I could get was that he were a demonspawn who got drained by a vampire as a young boy. He were hundreds of years old at least, maybe older. And he ain't got no fear o' the sun.

Master Dwarf,

With many of my lists nearing completion, but my order being backdated due to a 'lack of materials,' I find myself with a lack of things to gather short of excessively rare items. As such, I'd like to know what materials you would require to allow me to focus on my spellcasting, resist effects that attempt to disarm me and to help deal with other people's magic. In addition, I'd like to know what you'd require to add the ability to enhance my Evocation and Conjuration spells potency.

//What would happen if an item we dwarf upgraded got auto-replaced by the script? (not custom items, mind you, but items such as the Amulet of Abundant Life)

The new version would not have any of the upgrades on it. In most cases it would be no problem to fix.

//I'm just making sure that I can get a refund and all ... now.... onto other business....

Once again I find myself looking for more items to gather during my search for the rarest of the components you seek. As such, I'm interested to know what you'd require to enhance my Illusion and Transmutation spells as well as to make me more alert.

As I said in most cases, yes. Circumstances beyond player control, accidents, etc.

If a player chooses to upgrade an item they know will probably/definitely be replaced, or otherwise decides to do something that they know will result in the loss of an upgraded item, I won't be going out of my way to do refunds.

Upgrade refunds for redesigned custom items would be fine within reason. If I see someone upgrading 3 or more custom items and then redesigning them within a couple months (or even just one custom item with a gabillion different upgrades on it), especially if they do this on multiple characters, it will not be high on my list of priorities to fix. Plan accordingly to reduce or eliminate as much work for me as possible, please.

I've been pretty good about making time to post gathering lists for ya. Im going to hold off on making more up for you until you wrap up some of your pending requests. You've got a longer list than anybody else at this point.

OOC: Thanks Dave! As this was my 1st time using the Dwarf's services, I didn't know that doing this is as time-consuming as it proved to be. Much appreciated.

[evilkittenofdoom]

//At that rate, next time we're both online, would you mind enhancing my Amulet with 2 of the properties off my list? CON+6 and +5 Spellcraft

Is it possible to have 1d10 slashing, 1d10 bludeoning, 1d10 piercing, 1d10 "element", 1d6 "all other elements", "Extra Slashing/Piercing/Bludgeoning damage ..... ALL on the same weapon ?

[The Amethyst Dragon]

Regarding bonus damage on weapons, I am going to
say that you can pick ONE damage type as the main (whether it be
elemental or physical) and it can be 1d10. All the others will have to
be capped at 1d6. If would like to overrule me on this, it is by all means his decision and I will support it.

This sounds good to me.

I really appreciate the effort, Rusty, thank you.

Hopefully can finagle some way to make it work

I have updated the gathering list post by embedding the relevant property codes into the gathering lists, also.

Took the time to reorganize and reformat, and makes some of the lists more flexible.

Nice work, guys. Dang, that must have taken you a long time to reformat all of those lists, daveyeisley. And thanks for going to the effort to put all of that in a conversation, RustyDios. I'll take a look at that as soon as you finish it (and send it to me, and after I finish with this epic magic stuff).

Bonjour,

Been offline for ages. Ghasghul asked for a super doubley-axe thingy a while ago. I now have the bits when will you be online??

[Lyme_gg]

Greetings,
I have found enough components to have my ring enchanted with protections to safeguard my mind and quicken my hands somewhat.

ooc/ when i can catch ya. got the stuff to get Immunity - mind spells and 2 weapon fighting chanted on my ring.

[daveyeisley]

Started new job, online time will be sporadic, but I will make a point to check on weeknights after 6pm eastern for peeps to be online.

I apologize in advance if it takes a while for us to sync up.

[Eric of Atrophy]

I'll try to coordinate my time, possibly even offering a set one night a week kinda thing ... be late EST though, around 11 - 1am maybes...

[evilkittenofdoom]

It's been a week now, Dave since you started your new job, so I was wondering if you'd figured out a schedule that you can follow.

I'm not in any rush, but I am curious. Bad habit of mine, I know

[Eric of Atrophy]

Awww, kitten ... you remember what they say about mixing curiosity and cats, don't you?

[daveyeisley]

Posting from work real quick. Work has been nuts and on top of it my computer company just landed a fairly large project. Free time is all but nonexistent for a bit until one or both settles.

[Eric of Atrophy]

I'll try and do what I can to help alleviate this issue ... I may be able to make some time tonight, prob. around 9-11pmESTish...

Congrats on the large order, dave ... large orders mean work!

[evilkittenofdoom]

Does that mean Eric is taking temporary 'control' of the 'bestowing of properties' ?

[evilkittenofdoom]

Eric (bless his soul) was kind enough to do ALL of the upgrades I'd order. I can't even express my gratitude enough.

[Eric of Atrophy]

No problem, kitten. Glad I could be of help.

[Skywatcher]

Eric, if you see me online and have a few minues, I have some upgrades sorted and ready. Just send me a shout at your convenience.

[Eric of Atrophy]

No problem, Skywatcher! I hope to do a little online tonight, that's at about 12:00am - 1:00am EST...

[daveyeisley]

Thanks to everybody for their patience and to Eric for his help. Real life is not being very cooperative with my gaming time as of late
