Pack Your Bags! Vaults are Now Live!

[Llir 5717]

 

Greetings Denizens of Arcas!

 

Today I am happy to announce the official opening of our Transfer Vaults, your way to bring a travel trunk of  trinkets to the next map. Inventories, mina, and certain persona attributes will be wiped going into next map, so this will be the only way to bring items over. Things like rename tokens and soulbind tokens will carry over. This time around we have upped the limit to 54 items, and made some improvements to the plugin to prevent abuse. Pack your bags everyone, Almaris in on the horizon, and the boat leaves soon!

 

What are Vaults?

Vaults are a way for players to cache their special items, books, and maps from this map to bring them over to the next map. We have an in-house plugin to make this process as smooth as possible, though there are some restrictions as outlined below.

 

How Vaults Will Work

Vaults for many years have been under the use of a plugin, and this map is no different. For Vaults, here is the list of commands and how it functions:

 

/vault will open up a storage vault where you may store up to fifty-four (a double chest) of items to be carried over to Almaris (per account, not persona). You will be eligible to use this command from now up until 11:55 PM EST on Monday, November 23rd.

 

In 8.0, to have your vault reviewed, you will type /vault once more, where it will bring up a ticket like system for vault reviewers to go over. One the request is finished, you may freely access and open your vaults.

 

Books and Maps
All signed and unsigned books and maps will be allowed in unlimited transfer, and do not count toward the 54-vault slot limit. There is a separate command, /storebook or /storebook all to store all in your inventory. After transition books and maps may be restored with /restorebook

 

Vault Guidelines

Here are the listed limits, information, and guidelines upon the upcoming vaults.

 

General Guidelines

Vaults will be 54 slots per-registered-account

There will be no Shulker Chests in Vaults

Diamond armor and swords will not be allowed, if you have an important relic that is diamond, contact me on Discord.

 

Any banners, player heads, RP food, or RP drinks may be stored freely (no signature required).

Unsigned or Material items will not be transferred (except as mentioned above).
An Unsigned item is simply with no signature. Material items are things like a PVP kit, non-RP food/tools, etc, alongside Botany Herbs, Salves, or Oils.

Exception: ST-approved mineral-node materials will be permitted (thaunium, boomsteel, lunarite, etc.)
 

Tools, weapons, and armor may be stored, though must be nerfed before being put in your vault. This will make them do no damage beyond half a heart.

This is to not interfere with the new Surge PVP and Vortex Skills system, which can be done with /vault nerf (item in your hand) or /vault nerfall (to nerf all in your inventory). Any unnerfed items should be automatically detected, and will be rejected from your vault automatically by the plugin so you can nerf them first.

Most Shop of Wonders/admin shop items may be transferred (should they also be RP items too), but will be nerfed to lose all special effect using the above command. Spawn eggs, mob cages (tokeballs), greater soulstones, Soulweaving tomes, lockpicks, bolt-cutters, and siege-ladders are all not permitted.

All vaults will be received post-review, post-transition.

 

Removal Guidelines

Old or Expired lore items will be removed and wiped from Vaults

An “Expired” or “Old” lore item is one which has had it’s lore removed or rewritten. Common magics will include Transfiguration, Runesmithing, and Bloodmagic. If an item bears a green “ST-Approved” signature, it is almost certainly fine to take in a vault, excluding aforementioned herbs/salves/oils or items from lore that has been shelved or denied.
Examples may include https://prnt.sc/uc88xq , https://prnt.sc/uc89hd , https://prnt.sc/uc89tj , https://prnt.sc/uc8ad9 , https://prnt.sc/uc8cdd . 

 

Items with unallowed PVP attribute, such as some snuck in from Athera, will be removed, and may result in a wipe of your vault. 

These weapons or armors will have special tags on them to indicate they are abnormal. (Ex. +24% arrow velocity, +4 protection -2 movement speed, etc.)

Examples may include https://prnt.sc/uc8e37 , https://prnt.sc/uc8e71 , https://prnt.sc/uc8eqk , https://prnt.sc/uc8et6

 

Items of the same genre or type in multiple amounts will be removed (Above two in amount).
To prevent resource inflation going into the next map. This involves things like herbs, node materials, event resources, and so on. This does not mean you cannot have twelve swords or twelve event items. It is just putting a limit on raw resources such as raw materials, or stacked event items.

Vaults FAQ

Q: Can I get my friend to take things for me?
A: Yes, but everyone’s vault is their own responsibility. This means items will be removed, and players may be disciplined as if the items were their own.

 

Q: Will we be waiting for months on end like the last map?
A: No, Vaults are working on a much easier and more lenient system than before. Aswell, there is far more than just one person looking over everyone's vault. It will not be instant, but it will not take long.

 

Q: What if I forget an item or lose an item from vaults?
A: The item will be irrecoverable post transition.

 

Q: I’ve nerfed an item but it still won’t let me put it in my vault, or conflicts with another rule, what should I do?
A: If it is mechanics-related, contact me on Discord, if it is lore/magic related, make an /sreq.

 

Q: I have additional questions regarding a specific item I want to vault. What should I do?
A: Make an /sreq, unless the item is Faded Bluesteel/Diamond Encrusted, for those contact me on Discord.

 

Q: I am banned for the next two weeks! Does this mean I lose all my items?
A: Please contact me on Discord, depending on your scenario I may be able to help make special arrangements.

 

Q: Will there be compensation for old/shelved or expired lore items?
A: No.

 

Q: I never got my vault from the last transition! What's do I do?
A: We are aware some players had difficulty claiming their vaults the last time we moved due to the manual (non-plugin) system, please contact me on Discord ASAP, as these old vaults will be wiped in two weeks.

 

Q: Why can’t I take my unnerfed tools/weapons/armor or Shop Of Wonders items?
A: Simply to prevent unfair advantage from the beginning of next map - the same goes for raw resources and food. A fresh slate, particularly granted the upcoming economy granted from Vortex and Surge PVP.

Q: So will my RP weapons/armor be useless next map?
A: Partially, we will add a way to 'combine' them with a Surge PVP weapon/armor piece next map to copy the name and lore onto a PVP-usable weapon.

 

Q: My glowing item lost it's special effect!
A: This is a bug, message me on Discord with them items in your inventory and I can fix them.

Pack Your Bags Folks! Say Goodbye to Arcas and Hello to Almaris!

We've had some good times here, but all good things must come to an end, so pack your vaults, sever your mineman family connections, and get ready for some long distance travel rp!

Finally thank you, now I don't have to poke the ST every day about vaults.
