  1. Since plants are a bit wonky right now, is it safer to just assume current alchemy/botany books are out of date and should be thrown out or?

  2. Just spent the last hour and a half making a skin not realizing it was on the overlay and not the actual body. Someone kill me.

      If you go to minerneedcoolshoes and place your skin there, you can swap the overlay layer with the normal layer

  3. Is there a way to run Optifine and MPM at the same time?

  4. Anyone unable to get onto the server?

  5. If you’re looking for a quick mineman buck and you’re good at shading check this out

  6. Lo there do I see my father.

    Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers.

    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.

    Lo they do call to me.

  7. How does Alchemy work in terms of RP? Do you need to get ingredients to use in potions to use in RP? If so, how do I get the ingredients?

      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?

      Well there is a certain alchemy post that has a bunch of replies of ideas for alchemy potions. The main post is updated with those replies if they are accepted into the lore, thus you can play around with those potions if you find out how to make them or are taught.

       

      The good thing with Alchemy is, you can use a base potion and change up how you use ingredients- feel free to ask more experienced people on how more Air Symbols in an Alchemist fire could change the product.

       

      Rolling for Perception and Progression

      In terms of how you know if the roll is successful or not, normally I roll out of a hundred and if it is 65+ then I normally constitute that as experience in the specific potion or process of how to make that potion, and it is successful. I also do rolls out of 20 and 12+ are successful in finding the said ingredient in the respective region. Even if I rolled a nat 20 does not mean I would find flame-tongue in the frigid cold.

      v good pieces to look at.

      I gotcha. Thanks a bunch

  8. Am I reading right that when hard shelved creatures revert back they lose their memories or PK?

    1. monkeypoacher

      monkeypoacher

      you’re correct at least about losing memories, hard shelfing is basically retconning the creature. apparently they’re walking back the PKs a little bit?

    2. Keefy

      Keefy

      They do not have to lose their memories if you do not wish to go that route. The only thing set in stone for the hard shelves that were once people is they become living people again. Past that, free ball.

  9. Who’s in charge of the Kharajyr these days?

    1. Burnsy

      Burnsy

      @EnderMaiashiro Don’t think they have much in terms of leadership but that’s the only important one I know.

    2. EnderMaiashiro

      EnderMaiashiro

      @Burnsy Aww, thank you for thinking I’m important ❤️ 

      @Merkaken But anyway, yes, I am the leader of the kha at the moment. There is no Tlatlanni anymore as Haunter/Tepah did away with that system in his time so the High Aelkos position was made to have more than one person leading, but at the moment I am the only High Aelkos. This being said, Stargazerology and Celluloser/DrinkPesticide are my right hand men with everything. Did you have a concern or interest in the kha you wanted to talk about?

  10. I come back and recognize nothing what is this

  13.  make a quality no mineman elf fuckboiskin for me and I will pay you 500 quality mineman currency

  14. Is there lore behind race changes bought from the in store thing?

    1. BonesOfTheEarth

      BonesOfTheEarth

      no that's not an rp thing - it's meant for like.. Say you're a dying human of old age and want to keep your profession skills after you die and turn to the master race of elves - you buy a race change, and now your new elf character has aengulic in X skill!

      Warhawkes are fun if you want to do astronomy-based native american-esque RP.

       

      I lead Ker'nor which is (lil inactive) slowly building up our own unique culture and lore based off Shamanism, with our own new Shaman magic sub-type in lore trial currently! (HMU if you wanna know more about it)

      Gonna go ahead and tag my fellow Dark elf leader (Warhawkes bossman) so he can tell you more about his folks and their RP

  19. there's nothing like thinking a cop staring at you for 3 minutes but in reality he just zoned out.
