here are my plans for recipes for a next depth of items.
The 'ingredients' are based on the most abundant items in the realm, sign that their use is either missing or not balanced.

Creating these items will consume existing items, and create more complex and functional items, or precursors to even more complex items. 

I hope to be able to slowly create a path from resource, to more advanced items, and the most advanced items to be consumables requiring several levels of processing, with limited use but extreme power.

Your feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Functionality and actual mixing amounts are still open to debate.


IMPORTANT:
To avoid getting stuck in where to place the combiners and mixers for these items, i decided to create a central location for all this mixing. I don't have a place set yet, suggestions are welcome. Basically all mixing of next depth item such as these, will be do-able in one place. The next level after this (complexity 6-7), will be done in an other place, not the same.

I'm thinking an entirely new country (as in factions in Md), full of colors and forest people. The navigation screens would be easy enough to draw...  even if not, placeholders can be placed... i'm not saying make it something like one of those cheap (and strange) games with a jpg on every step.. just.. thinking adding some color to md.. Theme can be blueberries (and red) every where and the dead rising.. I nominate Lazarus and Aia as the leaders.. A new land would bring energy into game..  I can do the research/story if needed (for free). This new land can also 
    + send new events to what is happening panel.. (ie dead is rising, their heart is heavy),
    + have new resources, mushroom/blueberries
    + have new everything.. if proper..
 
They must be a breakaway section of Necrovion.. i think. What do you say ?
 
Some ideas to run through :
 
 Dead gates :  (as entrance)
    You sort of feel an undeniable pull, despite being fully aware there is only a dead end, and you'll be harmed
Blueberry Road
     A busy road, that sees a lot of traffic. There are a lot of red
    and blue fruits hanging from the heavy branches.. You can't
     see the end of the blueberry forests..
Corn Maze Statue (as altar)
     Beyond the end of the maze (perhaps how the geographically placed
      as well), you see an altar of a rat among bunch of scattered and old statues. There are
     some decorations on the wall, as you see start to see the environment
     change from maze like to a proper city
Un dead Acorns (The sanctuary/base or maybe Shop, or Creature recruit), three areas perhaps
     There is a hint of spell of constructs on the air, which is strange, since you'd think it'd
      be shades and trees. This is an obscure and rare to place to encounter away
      from the main lands.  You see some fighters and some magic duels..
     
            
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

(I decided to try to write a story for fun, I will be releasing some short parts of it in irregular intervals. Maybe more  people will read it when it is not one long paragraph, hmm. The main idea of this story is to.. give certain areas in MD a bit of attention and life, I guess. I would be happy for any feedback. )
 
 
As a certain author once wrote:
 „Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one.
But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten. „
And so, a young knator ended up on a Gateway Island. It was unknown what took him away from the deep Loreroot forest, whether it was someone fooling around with spells or a hole in a reality.
But one thing was for sure. The knator did not have the slightest idea how to get back.
It was confused. And scared. It wanted to be home, in the forest, not.. whenever it currently was. 
Looking around, the knator found only an empty beach, a tall cliff, and an ocean. Above the ocean, there was a storm. It was not moving left nor right. As if it was just.. floating there. And getting larger. And larger.
The young knator realised that he needed to find a place to hide. And fast.
 
 
PS: I thought knators had tails, but now that I am looking, I can't find any in the pictures
 

On day 13 of the year 19 we have met Willow to interrogate him concerning the gifts that were found in his storage room.
Present at the time of the conversation were Invie and I, later joined by Ledah and Aamon, and Aia and Jakubhi when the meeting was running towards it end.
You can find the transcription below
 
TLDR
Willow is renting out his storage room to the confused one.
He spotted an elf returning gifts from the tree to the storage room, he confirmed it is the elf that had a shovel related incident that lead to his early passing
He doesn't know how the elven magic works that protects the gifts but might tinker a little with it.
He says our best bet to contact the confused one is to speak to the elves in the archives.

I fear I may be absent for this, but fortune may think otherwise.
 
1. Hast thou knowledge of any beings who did place the presents within the Willow's Shop storage? If so, what were the identity of them, and what were the appearance?
2. Knowst thou of any motive of such beings? Did they communicate in any manner to thee and if so, what spake them to thee? Were there a reason that the location for the presents were chosen, and what wer't?
3. Knowst thou of the magic that renders the presents inert, or a remedy that may dissipate of their inertia without also affecting their contents? If so, what wer't?
4. How art thou? Were there aught we may do for thee in return for thine aid in this matter?
5. When may one expect Willow's Shop to receive new items, for one who hath previously purchased of the entire inventory?

Nice quest with a unique reward, I want even more of the reward.

These issues should be fixed.
Please let me know if any persist.

I will take a Spotted Easter Hunt Egg.

On day 364 year 17, a delegation ventured inside Necrovion for an unprecedented offering to the Shades.
Three individuals (Ledah, Nep and The Puppeteer) were taken to the Eternal Toiler, where they sacrificed altogether 50 creatures.
111 fenths were created and left for time to erode.
This outstanding sacrifice was awarded with a spell-doc page for each participant.
Below the full log of the event:
 

I will take the Loreroot Marksman.

It's the fully leveled Worry of Wanderers.

I want them all.
Max level preferred, but I also accept lower levels.

Done
Done
 
Sorry all, I need to go to sleep. I will work on the next load tomorrow. ❤️ 

Its fixed now. This is a very valuable page btw, thanks for reporting it

These should all be fixed.

Everyone should have their rewards  

Thanks all.
So story time!
 
Yesterday quite late after I had been busy I was informed that Petrify was not working properly and it had been earlier that day. So I spent some time immediately checking into the code as it was deemed important in the HC. As I was rushing I was checking the petrify item and not the petrify spell. The petrify Item runs for 30 minutes although the code, structure, etc, is very similar. This is important later.
Digging into the casting code I found an odd feature where any spells that run set up a trigger, but then if they are cast on others they are then deleted and re-created using a different set of parameters. Because of name shadowing and a few different variable names this actually caused a bug whereby:
Petrify runs, trigger created with X minutes Petrify deleted from triggers Petrify trigger re-created, with different params and using a new variable This is pretty deep into the code and it looks like it has been around for a while but I have now fixed it. However after fixing it I still didn't see petrify being cast for 30 minutes. This is where I left it as I didn't have time to debug and it was already much past midnight for me.
 
Today I investigated again and noticed that I had the wrong spell file, finding the correct spell file did indeed show me that the petrify spell follows the same pattern for spell casting. So the petrify spell has never lasted for 30 minutes.
 
Long story short, Petrify spell level 1 has the standard 8 minute cast duration, it has always been the case. There was a bug that was affecting some items which have a special "longer" duration, but these are now fixed again.
If you have any questions, feel free to post or message me!

Count me in.

Good quest, definitly tested my perserverance. I can recommend everyone to complete this quest as there are many rewards in the form of a WP, RP items and stats.

The manager of the Three Coin Hotel in the tribunal (Lands of the East) has been called away and wants YOU to cover for him.  There is no salary, but you can get various rewards as tips from the hotel guests (mostly skills) and a even a wish point if you stick with it long enough.  Besides - what could be more fun?!
If interested, read the message left by the manager on the wall at the Three Coin Hotel.

Well here is my first attempt, probably not the last regarless of the result.
