New Museum Goods?
07/03/2002 08:08 PM CDT
I was touring the museum the other day... and I have two questions after seeing of all things a compleate (presumably fuctional) J gweth (no metal type) sitting in the case next to the gweth stones.
1) For Players: In all my tours of the museum have I just ALWAYS managed to miss being in there when there was a gweth? Or is that a new addition? And either way... has anyone seen a K in there?
2) For GMs: Js and Ks were taken from critters to give MM enchanting a market. Sadly the main source of stones is still the museum. Which leads to me question... if I was a thief... would I steal some J stones to get made into a gweth through a third party taking most of the profit. Or a finished J gweth and get all the profit myself? When they are in the same room... next to each other...

You have just missed it, its very rare in rotation and yes only J gweth, never a K

Your lucky if the J gweth shows up more than ONCE a week, its hardly gonna make a difference.
I personally tend to make deals with moonies when I get stones. I am happy to give em 20 stones in exchange for 2 - 4 gweths. This saves me having to go buy some and allows the moonie to make more than he gave me and sell them for profit <grin>

A request of the Museum Curators
07/04/2002 11:37 AM CDT
To whom it may concern in charge of the Throne City Museum:
It has recently come to my attention that hundreds of gweth stones have been stolen from your display cases. As a supporter of my guild and your museum, I find it distressing that I may have inadvertantly manufactured and sold gweths made from these stolen goods.
There being no way for me to identify stones obtained from your museum with those stones that are mined or obtained from other supplies, I have decided to stop manufacturing gweths. To continue to do so will just support more theft and enable the thieves to profit from such activities.
I respectfully request that you mark or dye those stones that you put on display so that those of us that support your activities can identify them as stolen goods. This will allow us to either refuse to buy the goods, or to donate a portion of the profits made from such goods back to the museum.
Since you seem to have a good supply of stones to display, have you considered selling some of them to support the costs of the museum? I, for one, would be a willing buyer.

If it's that rare a rotation I really don't mind, just making sure it hadn't been added in as a standard item or something <G>. Plus it IS marked as stolen in effect now since it lacks a metal type and the only other ones like that are the still existing critter spawned ones and (possibly?) the LTB ones.

i love the museum. . . except for one thing that is bothering me. as far as i can tell the museum does not count as in town. i know this because (activate vauge mode) of a certain thiefly ability that needs to be in town to activate and it says that i need to be in town to use that ability. (deactivate vauge mode) so whats the deal is it town or not, and if not why would it not be.

The museum should definitely be in town. I've jotted a note to check it (probably at the same time I check the shop stealing, so it's not a high priority right now).
In fact, just about all of Throne City should be "in town," except for the southern most areas of the ruins (mostly areas you can't get to yet anyway).

Museum Issue. (TF only?)
09/09/2002 07:28 PM CDT
I love the museum, but I can't make it out quite as much as I'd like. (which would be... three times a day or so? ;-) ) It'd be great to see more turtles instated. Anyways, my issue is this...
There seems to be some sort of timer, which resets the items in the museum. I stole two seals from one room, purely for the sake of rotation. Come back about 24 hours later... and they're back. This has happened REPEATEDLY. Essentially, we have now the same items as we had when TF was created. It's really frustrating to only be able to steal the same items over and over again. At the very least, could someone in charge rotate all the current items out, so that when it resets there'd be something worth grabbing? Or else, get rid of that reseting issue? I'm afraid that if it's lack of attention to the museum, well... admittedly, there aren't a whole lot of us able to use the area with the new tweaks to bonus.
If further clarification is necessary, I'd be happy to oblige.

This is a follow-up to my previous post, #305, "Museum Issue. (TF Only?)"
I took Whystling up to the museum again this evening, at roughly 9 p.m. central standard time. From the bottom floor I stole the following: center room-a small gold brooch. south room-a chipped ceramic seal, a broken wax seal. east room-a fragment of a sandstone amulet, a faded grey ribbon stained with dots of dusky maroon, (maybe a thin yellowed parchment, as well.) From the upper floor, I only stole gweth stones, and coins from the deposit box.
Now, at 6 a.m. central time, all of those items are in their respective cases again. There has been no rotation. This is merely nine hours after making a run, and no more than one IG day could have passed. Please reconsider the triggering mechanism to a reset of the museum inventory, as this incessant recursion can bring an awful lot of tedium to an incredible system.
Thanks much for your time.

Yep, i likes the change you done to the museum regard self efficiency for a certain guild...But.. what happened to the Gor'Tog Guard? he become a supreme bank monkey and trained uber perception whilst i was away?
nuther words, been gettin 10 sec failures in front of him :(
(really, if you ask me, we shoulda been gettin 10 sec failures in the first place in front of both guards, am jest checkin if this is a design purpose or oversight, as if oversight could lead to problems i might not be aware of)
And not being able to 'sneak' down the stairs is still orrible..though, i understand the reasoning from a core design point of view (climbing), would be most sweet to see it changed back, though cant see it happening.
Last thing... growth of museum on the plate for future dev? any chance of throwing in ideas for dev, items, rooms, scenarios, and what not... i know there's some quite nice ideas that have been thrown around through a few people of a certain guild..
Anyway, thanks again on the self sufficient change done.

It's been awhile since I peeked, but one of them is more observant, and the other has a magic device to help him oust people. Can't say more than that, but you've probably noticed indications in the messaging. It's likely more to do with hiding changes lately. I'll take a peek at the guards when I get a chance (which will admittedly be a while).

Yes, there's some plans for the museum and Throne City in general. More "scenarios" shall we say. These are not a "next batch" thing, though.

So I managed to <tap> my just-purchased bear-claw necklace which is now non-existent, and aside from any rumored life-magic enhancing characteristics, I just plain liked the look on it. I'm currently hanging around Throne City and have been checking the museum in hopes of seeing it again. However, I don't quite understand how the stock in the museum works--does it rotate on a daily schedule? Anyone have any input? Do I have to sneak in after hours? And last, but certainly not least, is there anyone in the area that wouldn't mind helping me 'purchase' said artifact from the museum sometime in the near future? I'll provide a finder's fee if necessary.

Museum Items - spell scrolls
07/29/2007 03:34 PM CDT
Okay, one day I'll go back through all my posts and put all these ideas and such together, but while I'm thinking of this one now...
Two of the items in the museum are spell scrolls. One of the scrolls is Darkstar and I'm not sure what the other is, but I believe it may be a spell that can't even be used anymore. They are insanely hard to steal (can't steal one of them with 500+ ranks effective stealing). Because they are so hard nobody ever steals them and they just sit in the cases preventing the fun stuff from ever rotating in. Could those spell scrolls be removed, be made easier, or have the spells changed to something valuable?
Also, lockpick and disarm experience should be uptweaked. There are a limited number of cases, they can only be opened once a night, and considering the risk of opening them they don't teach very well. As one person I can go through and disarm blind every single case and just barely make it to mindlocked in disarm and lockpick. This of course means nobody else can learn anything from the cases that night. Seems like the experience there is a little limited, especially compared to the risk.

Museum Raid - 7pm Tuesday, August 7
08/01/2007 10:19 AM CDT
Kraelyst the Hand recently made a deal with a greedy Trader to supply 200 kyanite stones at 8 gold each. After stealing 112 kyanite stones Kraelyst realized he is far too important to spend his time skulking around the museum for a measly 8 gold per stone, so instead he is passing the task to you! During a group raid on the museum on Tuesday, August 7th, Kraelyst will pay 8 gold for every kyanite stone you bring him.
If you ever wanted to case out a big job, scale a building in the dark of night, sneak past dangerous guards, and snatch artifacts from within display cases? Now is your chance!
Tuesday, August 7th at 7*:*00pm ET the next raid of the Throne City museum will launch from The Crossing pond, hosted by The Locksmith Union. All Thieves are invited to join the adventure! Starting at 7:30pm at least two ships, The Immortal Hand and The Tipsy Gypsy, will sail between Throne City and Riverhaven every 15 minutes so you may arrive late, leave early, or return after being arrested. However, if you want to take a tour of the museum and get valuable instructions and tips be sure to be at The Crossing pond on time! Below are some details and tips:
Details:
* Climbing ropes and excavation supplies will be available for free in the holds of the ships.
* The museum cases will be disarmed and picked
* About 100 stealing is required to start out in the museum
* You can steal 4 to 6 batches of gweth stones each hour with ~100 stealing, or maybe some simpler artifacts.
* Kraelyst will buy unlimited kyanite stones for 8 gold each (he will NOT buy jadeite stones).
* If you get caught you will be beat up by King Fade or you will be sent to jail in Riverhaven.
* Limited empath help is guaranteed (hopefully an additional Empath and/or Cleric or two will also join us).
Tips:
* Stealing in the museum is different from everywhere else - if you get "caught" stealing you will simply be pulled from hiding. You won't be charged or arrested unless a museum guard enters while you are unhidden
* The guards patrol in a pattern - learn their pattern and check the next room over to be sure they don't walk in on you.
* Don't talk in the museum!
* Don't drop your stolen loot in the museum!
* Show up on time at The Crossing pond for more tips and to ask questions.
BE AT THE CROSSING POND AT 7PM ET ON TUESDAY AUGUST 7TH FOR A GOOD ADVENTURE!

Starting at 7:30pm at least two ships, The Immortal Hand and The Tipsy Gypsy, will sail between Throne City and Riverhaven every 15 minutes so you may arrive late, leave early, or return after being arrested. However, if you want to take a tour of the museum and get valuable instructions and tips be sure to be at The Crossing pond on time! Below are some details and tips:
Details:
* Climbing ropes and excavation supplies will be available for free in the holds of the ships.
* The museum cases will be disarmed and picked
* About 100 stealing is required to start out in the museum
* You can steal 4 to 6 batches of gweth stones each hour with ~100 stealing, or maybe some simpler artifacts.
* Kraelyst will buy unlimited kyanite stones for 8 gold each (he will NOT buy jadeite stones).
* If you get caught you will be beat up by King Fade or you will be sent to jail in Riverhaven.
* Limited empath help is guaranteed (hopefully an additional Empath and/or Cleric or two will also join us).
Tips:
* Stealing in the museum is different from everywhere else - if you get "caught" stealing you will simply be pulled from hiding. You won't be charged or arrested unless a museum guard enters while you are unhidden
* The guards patrol in a pattern - learn their pattern and check the next room over to be sure they don't walk in on you.
* Don't talk in the museum!
* Don't drop your stolen loot in the museum!
* Show up on time at The Crossing pond for more tips and to ask questions.
BE AT THE CROSSING POND AT 7PM ET ON TUESDAY AUGUST 7TH FOR A GOOD ADVENTURE!

Now this is brilliant.
Very well conceived, Kraelyst.

I guess someone else will be doing it on the night, but how much disarm/lockpick would you need to do a solo run to steal gweth stones?
Does anyone know if you can use those box-popping toothpicks in the museum?
I went for a tour of the museum a few days ago and ended up stuck in Throne City. Looking forward to going as a group.
I'll see you all on Tuesday :)

Close to 200 in lockpick/disarm should do it on the gweth case, probably a little less. But you'll need a Seer's Sense LAD to do it. I haven't tried a magic toothpick in the museum. See you at the raid!

I can't make it to the raid, damnit.
But, when first exploring the museum a while back, I found the gweth case do-able with ~175 disarm/lockpicking and a LAD. Disarm careful works on the cases, so almost all of them seem disarm-able at ~175. The locks are actually a lot more stubborn, but so far with persistence I've never failed to open the stone case, starting with around 175 lockpicking. (With a grandmaster's lockpick and all applicable khri...)
