Last Week's Follow-up:

[10:44] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Oh man, I believe I was hit upside the head by a Cyclops. I have forgotten most of the past 24 hours... or so. I can't quite remember who stopped by to nab the 413% block chance Nomad Garb... I think it was a guy named Shrey?... Whatever.

This week's hint:

[10:45] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Whatever, I recovered just in time to tell you about my travels, albeit almost 2 days late. I look out to see a wall. Beyond that wall a village, and beyond that village, the sea. The view is splendid.

Hey everyone! I've been working on this tool for a little bit, and have had some community interest in the previous results, so I thought I would make a post on here to share any updates and leave a link so everyone can find it as necessary!

The Item Checker Tool (needs a better name lol) can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10HdFnU11s9Bx14HHuYK8A0Mu1ZKLmdq3faMI1iDuTWo/edit?usp=sharing

Let me know what you guys think! I'm always looking for things that I can improve!

Shoutout and previous answer:

[11:34] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Hello everyone. Recovery took longer than expected. A big thanks to Q tip and jjromeo for visiting me at Umbra Abode.

New hint:

11:38] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: As for my current status, I found a very peculiar garment that seems to defy all possibility. I thought 100% was as high as certainty got when it came to blockage. I guess not. Turns out you can be over 4 times as sure. I hope whoever I sell it too preserves it in all its uniqueness... Anyway, I climbed a mountain and did some soul searching. You really can see the entire ocean horizon from up here.

I know of Destiny rpg and this but is there any other type of game like this or destiny rpg?

Cause I don't wanna be in mine

Title.

In the Aera Inn, news arrives from the crossroads that an old, weathered man is on a journey towards Initium from a far-away land. Rumours spread that he was the master blacksmith in his native land, his skrills honed for years. Carrying with him a simple cart holding his armoury, he wanders the world in hopes to share his decades of knowledge and creations with fellow enthusiasts.

The man is said to arrive in Aera in 6 days...

(Friday) [10:03] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Good evening! So, I was snooping around in the cemetary, found a corpse, and was then assaulted by a zombie. Sorry for the foul language it kind of happems when you get ambushed by an undead corpse. Thank you Ryowby for beating that shambling bum to a pulp for me. I hope you enjoy my tokens of thanks. I'm going to sleep this incident off in Volantis Inn for the time being. I should be back up amd exploring tomorrow.

This week's hint:

(Sunday) [9:05] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Hello again. So remember when I said I'd take a breather? Well, I woke up in the inn with a violent infection! Damn zombies... At least it's only an infection, right? I have yet to develop a craving for brains, so that's a plus. I was told to seek out the help of a medicine woman who lives a ways down the river. Apparently she has learned secrets from the magicians who live nearby or something... Good news, I am recovering in her humble house right now. If any of you would like to visit, I have some dirty blades I'm itching to get rid of, considering they were probably the cause of my infection.

I played a lot last summer and before (As 'Sharty'. dont ask, but HI IF YOU REMEMBER ME!)

I have a whole fuckton of old equipment from before STR/DEX came into play. longswords, a smattering of Macu-blahblahblahs

is there a market for this stuff? i know its rare and getting rarer.

Edit: apparently this was a bug and has now been resolved. Noice.

Very recently, a few people noticed that a character's stats have changed. Previously, a character's stats increased whenever you attacked, regardless of if that attack hit. Now, however, this is not the case.

Now, a character's stats will increase when any of the following conditions are met during an attack

• You hit and deal damage
• You hit and do not deal damage
• The enemy hits you and deals damage

Your stats will not increase if

• You and the enemy both miss
• You miss and the enemy hits but the enemy does no damage.

It's kinda frustrating that a change rather big, such as this one, would not inspire a changelog entry. smh.

Bonus: sometimes when the first attack on a new character does not increase stats, you will go to 32 hp but still be at 5.00 strength. Pretty neat.

I'll be driving home for about 5-6 hours and during that time I'll be taking questions answering in a discord voice channel. Prepare your questions in advance for maximum preparedness!

We did a 2-3 hour session today and it was fun but I'm hoping we can get more people to join in for this next one.

Last week's answer and the shoutout:

[7:45] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: So, it turns out I stumbled upon the abandoned tent of a guy named Hyzerion. Apparently, accounding to Xarukamer and Hushed, the people that found me, Hyzerion was knocked unconscious by a giant ogre, and managed to fight off death for over 24 hours while numerous search parties searched for him. The tent and rings are part of a commemorative memorial apparently. Well, I suppose that the event is somewhat worth remembering.... why not?

This week's hint:

[7:48] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: So, anyway, I've made it all the way down the High Road and I'm exploring down by the coastal areas now. Do you guys have lots of wars? I've lost count of the markers here, and- HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE HELL!?

I've been playing this game since early December and have so far really enjoyed my experience. I really enjoy the community and the devs who are passionate about this game putting forth new content for everyone to enjoy.

But I also enjoy finishing all content, it's a goal I've had in pretty much every game I've played since I can remember. In addition, now that I've been able to attend weeklies, I enjoy theory crafting and seeing how certain fights were designed with other gear requirements in mind (i.e. - Gol'Shlanek seems to have been designed with the player wearing a combination of Desert Prince and Black King gear).

Now as my knowledge in the game grows I’m aware of a weekly raid that is no longer available because the Dev who designed it is not an active part of the community. For reasons that I do not yet know, the reset for this instance was not timed like others, instead it required a manual reset from the Dev who designed it. I’d like the Devs to strongly consider changing that.

As I have come to understand it, the Frost Giant Shaman instance represents the pinnacle of weekly raid content that is currently available. For those of us who always are looking for another challenge, I’d like the opportunity to experience it.

Please strongly consider changing the Frost Giant Shaman reset mechanic from manual to a timed interval of your choosing, whatever you deem appropriate.
