I'm very excited to announce a new pay "quest" of sorts! Tickets are not yet on sale, but expect to see an announcement about that soon. The first run dates are tentatively planned for this very month!

What is this new event, you ask? Keep reading!

---

Somewhere in the northern Dragonspine, there existed a school for the advanced teaching of alchemy, prestidigitation, and thaumaturgy. Young wizards traveled from across the lands to study and practice with the greatest magical masters. Rare ingredients were shared, incantations were whispered around warm fires, and apprentices, in time, became masters themselves. But over the years, the halls grew silent. The students no longer came. The old masters moved on, or retired to the cold stone towers. Eventually, even the name of the school itself was lost to antiquity…

Except for Sylinar, professor and librarian. Sylinar, whose home has been the tower that bears his name since a time few can recall. The venerable professor and cataloger of the magical annals has descended the spiraling stairs of the Spire, eager to raise funds in the hope of restoring the institution to its former greatness. Sylinar will open his doors to a small number of curious adventurers, offering a glimpse of his home and a taste of his magical skill.

Up to 50 adventurers can sign up for each of Sylinar’s four-hour tours. There is a three service limit for each account. Offered services are adding up to ten (10) charges to recharge an enhancive item, adding ten (10) charges or 10% of maximum charge capacity (whichever is greater) to an enhancive item, making a crumbly enhancive item permanent (will not crumble after last charge is used), or removing a single enhancive property from an item.

There will be a few shops to peruse, including items such as enhancive edibles, basic clothing, climate wear, scrolls, and scroll tubes.

Finally, every visitor will receive a special item free of charge: a stylized golden griffin pin. This item will hide any worn, non-container, non-combat gear, non-scripted enhancive item, as well as being able to indicate if a held item is enhancive.

Wait..are these the same thing? Or are you saying he can add up to 10 charges to the maximum charges that item will hold?

awesome.

Now to do research to try and find out exactly what max charges are, and how to determine how many charges my gauntlets have.

It's going to play out like the Albatross runs. So Services/Shopping. We have a special item this time, which I think people are going to really like.

But there is already a pretty rich lore surrounding this place. When we started talking about the idea, GM Liia sprang into action and really brought the idea to life. We'd spring ideas off each other, and well, I think you guys will dig it. No that's not a pun. No digging.

But... but... But shouldn't that be a three hour tour, and four services?

I mean, doing it this way it just doesn't scan right, you know?!?

Listen Gilligan that's enough out of you. You'll take your four hour tour and like it! ;)

Be nice to Wyrom or I will cut you!

A couple questions popped into my head. 1) Can we use these services on the attuned enhancives from stuff like Night at the Academy? 2) Is it a limit of 3 services per account per run, or per lifetime?

1. I'd have to see the stuff to answer that.

2. Per run (per ticket).

Those aren't restricted to be recharged because they are attuned. They are flagged not to be recharged. So those wouldn't be eligible for recharging. The rest of the services offered really wouldn't be appealing to those.

Hopefully that answers your question.

Any chance you can add enhansive swapping to the list of services?

I second the motion

>I know with things like this, everything is already approved and ready to go, buuuuuuuut just in case, please to this. Would be awesome.

Thirded, or fourthed. This came up in the EG folder, but if it was offered, I completely missed it and wouldn't mind another chance to change a mistake I made years ago on one of my items.

I'm fine with even the same terms offered at RtCF unless someone has a better idea.

So weapon swap to any other weapon enhancement, STR to WIS or vice versa, etc

The way I see it, right now this event really only offers two services (permanence and stripping) that arguably justify the cost for most people. The charging and max charge increasing services are only worth the price on extremely unusual items. If you throw swapping into the mix you're looking at a significantly more desirable event.

A repeat of the RtCF guidelines would be great and presumably easiest to implement on a short timeline as it already passed management review.

If you wanted to slightly improve upon the RtCF guidelines you should consider adding Aura to the Strength and Wisdom category, as it is currently the only statistic outside the guidelines, and offering the ability to swap between ranks and bonus on the same skill.

If you really wanted to significantly expand on the RtCF guidelines it seems like there's room to add one or more new categories for skills. Desirable skills such as CM, Shield Use, and Dodging (to name a few) are outside the RtCF swapping scheme as I understand it. However, I recognize that there are balance issues with respect to these skills. Perhaps CM could be added to the weapon skills category and a new category could be added for Dodging, Ambush, Stalking and Hiding, TWC, and Shield Use. Another idea would be swapping between health, mana, and stamina, both for max bonuses and recovery bonuses. I'm just spit-balling here and I get the feeling that these changes would take more fine tuning and management review than the current schedule would permit

Considering the time constraints I strongly recommend RtCF guidelines as a sure fire way of increasing ticket sales. Any other improvements you can make would be gravy.

Definitely would like to see swapping between lores. They're like like weapon skills to a pure!

I want to move bonuses from one item to another. Not for this event but at some point it would be nice. I have a lovely item that was made for a mage to use, EMC, earth lore, Spell Aiming, MIU but they put it on a staff. A quarterstaff....on a runestaff it would rock. On a quarterstaff it's like what the heck?!!! That's like putting OHE bonus a blunt weapon....
