The Plot

Characters / Misc

• make usable commands listed on character?
  • possibly stupid
  • would mean adding socials
  • auto-add skill commands
  • eliminates "do_not_hear" commands?
  • cmd skills and hooks would register with room, then entering the room would have to register with character, and unregister when leaving room?
• Do something with email address (optional)
  • Send newbie guide, or some-such (word doc, or pdf or something)
• Move all the no* channel commands to a single command with toggles (setcom on one mud)
• Autoauction system
• Retain free stat knowledge on an identified item - DONE
• (re)implement MSP
• FreeTrade system
  • Wizards stock shops w/scrolls
  • Warehouses make wares & transport them to places
  • Transports can be hijacked
  • Other classes make potions, weapons, etc
  • Crafting skills
    • Potion recipies
    • Armor construction
    • Clothing construction
    • Food (cooking)
    • Enchantments to improve items
  • Transport on boats
• People can carry people
• Items carry people (pokeballs!)
• Experience
  • group bonus (based on group size?)

• Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
• Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
• Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
• Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
• Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
• Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
• Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
• Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
• Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
• Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
• Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
• Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

• Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
• Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
• Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
• Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
• Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting
• Jagang: yeah , it adds the "choice" for an rp element

Newbie Guild

• -- just a random idea
• Max level of 10

Professions

• Guild level gains
• Requires registration to gain crafting skills (join guild)
• Limited numbers of guilds you can join
• Leave guild, skills not granted from other guilds slowly go down until 0
• Charge to join? (depends how many guilds already in... dedication fee)
• Build guild houses
• May have to join guild again in alternate plane to get benefits there
• Plane restrictions only matter in material planes

• Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
• Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

Mapper

Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side -tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Taken from Witch...

Race: Template From AddictWiki Natural resistances / weaknesses:

... Perm Affects:

... Regen: (hp/mana/moves/psp)

... Misc:

• Would only be female (maybe)
• Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
• Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.

... Ideas:

• Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie

herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

• Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

• Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

• Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

... Questions / Issues:

... Special help files to be created:

... Spells / Skills:

• Bless
• Calm
• Cure Disease
• Drain Life
• Dream-Witch can create a "dream" of whatever they wish the person/mob to see in the room. (like a shadow or mirror image of themself)
• Guidance
• Harm
• Herbal Enhancements
• Intuitions
• Holy Symbol
• Lifegiving-Restores a player back to life, BUT any thing like posion or disease would have to be cured seperately to this.
• Lifekeeping
• Major Healing
• Nature's Strength
• Nature's Tongues
• Neutralize Poison-
• Restoration
• Summon Animal-maybe based on align whether they can do this or not and what they can summon?

Level Name Description 0 xx xx

Witch (random name)

thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

Blacksmith

• Jagang: if you do a blacksmith type trade, would be cool to have certain forges in different zones, to forge different pieces of gear
