Hello

@rukioLol alright dude, you’re cute and all, but this is getting annoying. You wanna throw a hissy fit because someone posted an interesting article and people are pointing out you’re blatantly wrong, knock yourself out, but maybe keep it to a journal, someone might think you’re unhinged. Have a good one fam.

You seem to be the only one crying my dude =/ Yes, exercise does help, and it can fix short term, sure, but not long term. It’s why people with depression take medication for it, rather than just “Yeah just ******* run all the bad out”. Seriously, it was just an interesting article, not really a reason to get so bent out of shape as you are. 

@rukio As are you my dude. You’ve got plenty of people on this status agreeing that you’re spouting nonsense. You clearly don’t know what you’re saying, now hush and go back to posting edgy song lyrics.

@rukioDude, depression isn’t as simple as “Just don’t be sad anymore lmao”. Like I said, it’s a chemical imbalance. This isn’t a call for help, this isn’t a “give me attention”, this is just a dude sharing an interesting article. Try to calm yourself down. Not sure why you’re worked up over someone sharing an article.

@rukio Depression and suicidal thoughts=/= Feeling sad, it’s a very different thing. It’s a chemical imbalance in your brain more often times than not, though being sad can lead to depression if left alone long enough. What you’re saying is essentially “You need glasses? Lol just see better, duh”

Oh **** what up my dude?

What are you ******* stupid? Pile of Dirt for President 2020!!!!

I gotcha. Thanks a bunch

It is sad for me to say but,

 

People like to use the wiki and browse through where and how to get and use alchemical things without real role-play effort onto LoTC thus you have alot of big brain potions which normally if you told said person making it to craft it in role-play without aid from the wiki they’d be fucked.

 

Besides my rant, you can search for alchemy teachers by posting forum posters or search in role-play and you MIGHT find a dedicated teacher, not saying it is impossible but like I stated above.

 

What I do

 

What I tend to do is get a fellow com padre, in role-play and go from town, kingdom and home searching for different ingredients that I know in-character, there are a billion of them and of course I cannot know all of them.

Alchemy is fun when you make mistakes, or at-least I find it fun to see characters of mine blow **** up on accident, and I do self-rolls all the time to search for ingredients, or if I am mixing it properly.

It’s of-course better with a friend, and when you go to each town or group of role-play you can just sit in the tavern and rest, and carry on yatta yatta.

 

Mechanically

Ingredients aren’t mechanically given, however you could make them just for the sake of making them. To make Alchemic potions you have to figure that out in ROLE-PLAY. I am a big advocate for literally hiding most lore just so people do not meta-game or say they don’t meta but want to have the surprise and immersion with no spoilers. Anyway, potions are made with mechanical descriptions – you should see an example on the auction house.

 

Hope this helped.

 

This was all a huge help, thanks. I have one more question, though, how do you know if your experiment is a success? Do all potions need to be LT approved like magic, or is it more of a “As long as it’s nothing extremely crazy it’s ok” type of thing? And if that’s the case, what would constitute needing to write a lore post for it?

What is a maidmancer? Sounds hot

Hello!

Nah I’d prefer to keep playing my character I’ve played for years

I’ve only seen PvP used the way it was intended a handful of times. Every other time was just awful banditry RP.

… Is this another way of saying “In this world it’s yeet or be yeeted”?

I’ve honestly stopped being surprised. After they got rid of watyll’s phobism for “Power gaming”, a school of magic that focused on solely terrifying people and had all of one minor attack, and refused any rewrite given to them, I gave up trying to make sense of any LT action.

.... why?

(seriously tho, congrats :) )

We do it to piss you off.

Ikr how stupid. It's almost as if the staff expects us to use common sense

I mean, as someone who's a 50 year old halfling the prospect of becoming more or less immortal is rather inticing considering my character logically will be dead in the next decade or two based off the excessive amount he smokes and drinks. *takes the bait like a champ

Ah ok. Thanks!

Of those two, Vailor.

Dude, be patient
