what about this? - Just an idea about new materail

Reafer · Post by **Reafer** » Thu Jan 03, 2002 2:37 pm

Hello!

I just got an idea on a new material.. What about mithril? I think you should make more advance smithing armors and stuff. Like when you are mining, you get mithril ore same hard as you get gold nuggets! And you could make a better armor than plate. So, what do you say?
Isn't that better?

Greetings,

why not adding the possibility to make iron better i mean you can make iron to steel than you would better armor too?!

yours randar

Yes!! why not?

Gezz Iron armor? Talk about heavy...

Mitril is suppose to be light "and somewhat inherintly magic" Perhaps mage's could wear mitheril armor without the penalty, but shoul dbe much more rare than gold

How about new herbs??

Moss, Weed, Tumbleweed, Grass, certain berries, Bone dust, slime, seaweed, fluff, honeydew

sites to find them: Edge of water, city walks, on rocks

Yeah, we need many many new items!
But that about mithril, it should be rare, very rare..even more rare than gold to get..
And new herbs are also good.

@Bror: Please, you should invite those materials. It would be more good and realistic.

ooc: I saw a movie some days ago "the lord of the rings" or what it's called. And the dwarves
where always in their mines and tried to find those "rare" materials (just what i understand of the dwarves).

Well..Cya

There are several Graphics "in stack", different colored graphics and different metals. But it would not be very good to implement them now : Since in our smithing system, as it is now, you can smith any item from one ore, and SOME things SHOULD be a little harder to get, we could first use another smithing system, i.e. first make metal bars from about ten to fifteen ore and some coal, and then, smith the things you want with an amount of metal bars and some coal.
That would require the ability to use an amount of necessary things in making items, for that, we would need some new Client or/and Server version.

Just give it some time =)

mithril sucks it is for weak boring rpgs that do not involve roleplaying (runescape)
i say steel,iron,tin
a few new types of gold (karets)
my ealier "perfect" "imperfect" armour suggestion

sean · Post by **sean** » Tue Jan 08, 2002 10:25 pm

mithril dont shine it is heavy as hell looks stupid
and the other metals i stated are real armour metals used in middleages
weeeel besides silver and platinum armour which was used as show for parades of knights through town before an event

"Mithril" origin : The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings

Description : A priceless dwarven made, jewelled chainmail made from rare mithril silver, once made for an elven prince, much harder than iron and almost impenetratable, but light weighted. Gave to the halfling "Bilbo" as his part of his payment for helping the dwarves in their quest to regain the treasure of the Dragon "Smaug" and their ancestor's home.

As far as i remember, the thing was described very shiny, and not only the jewels were =) It would be great if someone could post a copy of the original text part from the books "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings".

sean · Post by **sean** » Wed Jan 09, 2002 1:28 am

i have all the books damy i am just saying in dint really exist and illarion is based on realisum besides i dont really like blue metals that are almost inpenetrable my arrows can hurt NO ONE at all so how do i take out a pk with mithy crap armour on
?

Torekin · Post by **Torekin** » Wed Jan 09, 2002 7:52 am

Mithril is chainmail with many rings,they gave to Bilbo cause its not heavy!

It should be very rare and Mithril should be smithed only by dwaves!

Reafer · Post by **Reafer** » Wed Jan 09, 2002 6:05 pm

Haha! Damien, Damien

That's right!!
@Torekin: Yeah, why not only smithed by dwarves?
@sean: shut up...you annoying little thing with big mouth!

sean · Post by **sean** » Wed Jan 09, 2002 6:41 pm

first off i am not little second off read my introduction in the main board then apologise before i slice yer mithy luver head off

Leif · Post by **Leif** » Wed Jan 09, 2002 6:57 pm

reafer... dont react like that... its resonable of sean to say those things...
show curtecy and etiqette...
maybe you might dislike his opinions, but still...
and anyway, im sure sean ment it as bit of a joke... or at least with a humorous tone...

Reafer · Post by **Reafer** » Wed Jan 09, 2002 7:17 pm

Sorry Leif, but he's head will get cut if he keep doing that stuff!
And okay, he can say what he wants, but not that annoying..grrr..

Okay, okay.. Im fine.

sean · Post by **sean** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 1:35 am

well the first post was but now i will go into detail
You are still annoying me with your words if you read the post
Orcs Beware you will see how angry i can get aginst annoyences to me and others of my friends if you want to fight me it can be arranged and then after i kill you i will just shake my head and walk away

Caranthir the great · Post by **Caranthir the great** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 5:36 pm

@sean....do not treathen my guildmember in that way , EVER.
and by wich way illarion is based on realism?
hmm...magics..monsters..

@sean ,crap about mithril : DUHH! ofcourse it wouldnt be 100% arrow resistant! (lol)
surely it would be better and way more valuable than ordinary platemail/chainmail..

@torekin , i dont agree with you that mithril could be smithed only by dwarves... maybe we would learn to smith mithril a bit more easily than others..

@leif i understand that sean id yer friend , but treathening to cut somebodys head off just by this.. i bit over-reacting , yes?

Torekin · Post by **Torekin** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 5:46 pm

hmmm,the most smithing should be only done by dwarves,they should tell other races how to smith better stuff maybe!

Reafer · Post by **Reafer** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 5:53 pm

I agree Caranthir.

And Caranthir, do you mind if i kill sean?

Leif · Post by **Leif** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 7:36 pm

Hey...
sean should never had threatned any of us, but look at the conversation...
sean came with a normal point of view, but reafer found it anoying...
reafer... you are a very good friend of mine, but its not that anoying is it?
its just his point of view...

@caranthir: i never said anything about cuting anyone's head...

Reafer · Post by **Reafer** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 8:07 pm

Leif! I like you damn much as friend! But if you repeat same thing a couple of times...trust me...
It's so anoying! Sometime..you will find out what i mean (if you don't already know what i mean)

PEACE!

Torekin · Post by **Torekin** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 8:24 pm

so,bnack to the maintheme!There should be more spevialyzed work,like more smitjing stuff for dwaves!more carpentary stuff for elves!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 9:10 pm

erhmh, elves aren't carpenters... i know SOME who don't like the idea of swinging the axe against a living thing (tree)...

If you want to expand the smithing menu for the races, for example dwarves make dwarven armors, elves make elven armor types etc, well, i guess this will not be easily done. But wait with that for the next version(s).

sean · Post by **sean** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 10:16 pm

mithril is used in like everyother game we should make our own unique metal for illa that arrows can shoothrough but also protects more then iron plate and is much rarer
hmmm
Lopinomium?

Rugosch · Post by **Rugosch** » Fri Jan 11, 2002 10:22 am

You are stupid, sean. If you want a material that exist in other games, then you could name it like in other games.

One main point is, Mithril should not implementet, yet. First we need a new skill system, that noone can learn all perfect. So we gain a better trading system in play and we can decide, who gain a mithril armor. I think, no pk want to search and wait, until he gain enough mithril to learn making a good mithril armor. Every one knows, how hard it is, to learn goldsmithing. If the learning will be harder in all skills and mithrilsmithing should be harder to learn than goldsmithing, it would need weeks or month of learning to become a good mithrilsmith. So all, who take the problems of learning this, can decide, who can buy a mithril armor.

sean · Post by **sean** » Fri Jan 11, 2002 2:25 pm

i said mithril EXISTS already in every other godanmed GAME I DONT WANT A METAL THAT EXISTS ALREADY IN EVERY GAME ITS LIKE PLAYING THE SAME GAME CLONES OVER AND OVER
i Dont Want already existing metals from other games except iron which should be their
also i did not say my made up armours was same as mithril did i? maybe it is pink with polka dots or something? i really dont give a damn i made my oppinion and now i am leaving
