Fun Fact: Greenhouses were in existance in 13th century italy and a similar thing was practiced in Roman times. Exactly what I was thinking. People have known how to do this for a very long time. The main reason for this came from not being able to supply healing potions to Troll's Bane inhabitants...

I guess I will flesh out the concept purpose a little more fully. This is not intended to be a method of power-gaming. Trust me -- with an alchemist, adding an herb garden would NOT make it easier to power-game their alchemy skill. It would actually be much more difficult than the normal methods of ...

Because Hadrian is here to make your day...

Everyone with magic class "mage" who possesses at least one rune is, technically, a mage. To the druids, everyone is either a mage or a druid however, unless it is a bug. Indeed. Druids cannot see "Mage, Druid, Non-Magic". They can only see "Mage" and "Druid"...

Translucent for me... perhaps it depends on your graphics settings?

The real role-playing atmosphere and good(?) folks have kept me coming back to Illa since I was 13 and freshly graduated from Runescape (yes, Runescape -- you can imagine the horror of my n00b days here). Illa was something totally "other" and totally magical. I've always loved it. Great m...

But you could check if a char belongs to the mages-class. Well, currently every char belongs to the mage-class, except druids. :P Yeah... I started reading that and was like "Uh-uh!". You cannot find out if someone is a mage by the examination runes the way that they are intended (since a...

False! I wasn't in the same spot

Not if it is limited to only certain common plants. I'd still be tramping all over the isle searching for the ever-elusive perfect plant piece/s I need like I do now.

Why not let alchemists grow their own herbs in the manner of farmers growing crops? It could be limited to specific kinds, of course...

Ready? Aaaand, DISCUSS!

Aaahh, yes... I remember constant crashing/logging to keep skill gain before it crashed. Good times.

That would be useful the next time a mage gives me a portal to "Silverbrand", which actually transported me to the middle of nowhere in orc territory where my presence was unwelcome. O.o

You obviously were not around at the time of the battle. (I think I remember you posting about that)

It was far higher.

Sorry I rather ignored and forgot about this thread since I posted, but Jupiter pretty much hit it dead on. Sorry if my post was not clear enough. ^_^ It is a fix for alchemy, and not druidism itself (you're right when you say it is something different). @ Maryday: Wut? *doesn't understand what that...

Well... I know we can be were-pigs

But not vampires.

Curiosity demands I ask the question: what would rainbow glass bottles do?

Mages can use wands to have preset spells cast quickly, correct? I (and others) find that, as druids, it becomes very tiresome to be constantly having to move every item I want to examine, as my full rune list covers half of the universe when it is opened. Thus, I'm simply proposing that there be so...

Personally I think it’s a shame duel wielding will be gone. Ok I hope you compensate by making weapons like daggers more powerful, if not, chars will be walking around with a dagger and a shield? Oh, and can you please make one of the elven swords a twohander? Preferably the normal one (not the rai...

The only true dual-wielding that happened historically was with rapier and dagger for a time during the rennaisance, so I'm not at all opposed to taking dual-wielding out of the game. It's more realistic with a single weapon.

There is a plot. It's just a bit subtler than many may think a plot would be. *cough cough wink wink* Some conflict (beyond petty squabble) is/was bound to happen.

Banishing sounds more like a Priest skill anyways. (And priest stuff is in the works, says the little bird...)

Thanks for shedding more light upon all of this, Mesha. Your posts have been helpful and informative. :) I am not totally against an invasion, as it could be fun. There are lots of RP opportunities in a losing/rebel situation. I initially had the idea that GMs would storm the town if they resisted, ...

And after that, I guess we all just move to another town since we are going to become criminals due to resisting the new reigning power. That's what I was planning on doing. Why not all the characters abandon TB? I mean, if we're going to RP our characters like we would really act in that kind of s...

However, if this is (as I fear it is) indeed to have the staff in control of the town, then I firmly oppose this. We can't have the staff interfering with IG politics like that, it takes the fun out of the roleplay. Agreed. My character, for one, will always be opposed to the invaders, since his cu...

Thanks to all involved with the demon appearance today! Except for one bit of RP that just felt rather odd and/or unrealistic... *Alvis is thrown aside, slumping to the ground all wounded and such* *Demon starts running away* *Everyone, even the druid , runs off after the demon and ignores the guy o...

More OOC than I've ever done at once (and felt rather uncomfortable about it), but it was necessary due to technical ignorance. Thanks, Azuros, for the great time!

I was actually wondering why I saw a stack of buckets lying on the ground the other day...

EDIT: Not a full stack, mind you. Just a few.
