Just wanted to say 'wowzah' in regards to the keep. It has TONS of interesting shops, especially the seamstress. The stuff you can make in there is very nice.
So great job to everyone who was involved in making it possible. I know a lot of people are happy with the weapons, bolts, clothes, and public forge found in this new addition.

Rossgallon Keep is .. utterly amazing. I'm so impressed and now I'm envious of those already living there.

An excellent time to unveil this sweet new area. I think I've found most of the things mentioned except for the dartboard line and maybe one or two of the noises. The kennel and stable stock are particularly exceptional. And arrow loops along the entire battlement, though I couldn't really see over them as it was raining hard when I was there.

If time premits would you mind running at least a limited version of the events introducing the new Keep to plat. I don't think anyone in plat has ever meet Lord Rossman and it would be nice to have an oppurtunity meet him and his family.

Love the new area, and love having more weapons to add to the lists. Wanted to confirm something, you sure you want the balance longsword to have worse balance than regular longswords?
A balanced steel longsword with a gilded ribbon hilt is a heavy edged melee-ranged weapon.
You are certain that it could do:
low puncture damage
moderate slice damage
fair impact damage
You are certain that the longsword is poorly balanced and is reasonably suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the steel longsword is fairly sturdy, and is in pristine condition.
The steel longsword is made with metal.
You believe that the cavalry longsword weighs around 33 stones.
You are certain that the steel longsword is worth exactly 12600 lirums.
Roundtime: 16 seconds.

It's not in the keep. It's a few rooms south of the gate. Eastgate road. And has anyone figured out how to actually make anything?

The shop is just south of the tanner in Rossman's. A few of us have been standing in here for hours trying to create something out of the components, but to no avail. The only thing we've been able to figure out is that honeycomb seems to be the only catalyst out of all the components, and it's the only thing that's countable (4 parts). We've been trying to put different components in a bag and shake it, but the catalyst never bonds with anything.

The honeycomb seems to be broken? I combine 4 parts with 4 parts and still have only 4 parts. That seems broken. I was thinking perhaps we needed an 8:1 or higher ratio for the components inside the bag. Would that make sense? If we are unable to get higher than 4 parts - bingo to why it isn't working :P How odd that honeycomb is the only catalyst too :ponders:

Someone pointed out earlier that they felt the honeycomb was buggy in that the system thought it was like honeycomb you can forage for. The honeycomb you can forge for 'can' be used as a catalyst and combinded. This is why only that item in the entire store was acting like a catalyst
The shop itself and the items you put inside your charm bags appear to just be RP tools and fluffy.

Re: Keep Kudos

It'd be nice to get some official word on if it is just fluffy, because the way the shop is set up definitely makes it seem like you can make things. There is even shop messaging that gives the recipe for a love potion, which doesn't work (scarlet feather, hair, and honeycomb). Since that recipe includes honeycomb, which is the only catalyst, it seemed likely it would create something.
