Any chance, that if the process for creating Astral Guides remains close to what it is now(I am assuming astral guides remain an enchantable thing in 3.0), that when we align a mind to a destination (instead of attributes), the crystal could drain of color and be a white crystal? It'd make sorting through crystals much easier.

>>Doesn't a katamba shard aligned to Rolagi still boost speed like any other katamba shard?

Given what it says when you focus on them, I'd guess no.

Enchanting has always been an exercise in inventory management. Changing to white crystals will not alleviate that. What happens when you have 10 white crystals? I like having the option of my destination crystals being 1 of 3 colors.(my choice) It allows sorting them much easier. I won't explain any further because your posting history puts you in the category of "never helping you ever."

>>I'm not sure if I like this idea. Doesn't a katamba shard aligned to Rolagi still boost speed like any other katamba shard? I think it does. I'd have to double check.

Further testing. Note that all stats still seem to be at their base levels, with two minds put in.

You focus your magical senses on a silver brooch.
You recognize the delicate pattern of the Astral Guide enchantment.
It appears that the matrix is based on a Trine sigil of the moon Katamba, the moon Yavash and the moon Xibar.
You sense the enchantment is attuned to Xibar.
A latticework construct of Lunar energy holds multiple psychic patterns and connects them together in a single, overarching matrix.
The gestalt mind is completely lucid and has no mechanism to preserve its sanity. It reacts to its environment with glacial slowness and can manipulate its environment only with exhaustive effort.
Names are being whispered within the device: Mintais and Dor'na'torna.
The brooch lacks the esoteric spark of a truly intelligent mind. Any additional sigils scribed upon the brooch could, with incredible effort, be modified to bathe the device in celestial energy and hopefully catalyze the gestalt.
Roundtime: 12 seconds.


With one more mind (red-force). All three crystals were red.

>> To go along with the last of your post, if you really think that it wouldn't help, you're a lot dumber than you look, and that's all that is really needed to respond to your post.

I was trying not to resort to personal attacks, but since you started it, you are an idiot. You couldn't even figure out how to make a celestial beacon, and you are trying to lecture me on crystal minds? Have you even actually created a single astral guide yet?

>> Also, you should probably try to post from the same forum account?

Whoops, on vacation. It doesn't really matter who posted what, the point stands. You toyed with astral guides for what, 1-2 days? And now you want to change the system when you haven't even had a chance to really use or understand it. Bad idea.

The only one who looks foolish is you. Your hyper aggressive posts and calling everyone stupid/idiot/etc/whatever other flavor you choose for the day make that very clear. I shouldn't have involved myself in your delusional postings. I'll try to remember next time.

Yep. I just got done testing too. You were right. Location shards dont contribute to other aspects.
