Re: Cannot class train

Go to the Volcano Town thief trainer.

And once you have grown, you will need to find the Frore thief trainer - hint Homlet has thumpers, rockmen, and thrashers, oh my.

Since you are asking for event ideas in the lobby. Here are some new ones and some of my previously posted ones: Summary: The Pied Piper Event: A variation on the Betty quest. This one allows multiple animals to be led at the same time. You lead the queue back to the quester, "Pied Piper"....

Re: Stairs at start room

I used to cast darkness before moving to stairs, so that my thief's hide would not break. Sucked for others that entered the room after I was gone, so I ended that. Now, I don't bother since the stairs take my thief to a safe room above and I re-hide there with impunity. I am guessing that you do th...

Another event that could be cool. "The circus has come to town". A circus is placed outside of town. It has attractions, games, vendors, and questers. Example of attractions could be "The House of Horrors" (shows examples of lair creatures rarely, never, or future seen). Or, &quo...

To kick this thread off, here are two events: First something short and simple. Followed by something longer and more complex... An "Anvil Event", where all anvils are turned on for one day. (Of course you must still have iron-bread, for the armor upgrade to work. And you must still find t...

Transport Pads - Lets start next to Jil?

Refuge now exits to the Nameless Jil NPC, so I would suggest placing a new transport pad within a few hexes (for your Subscribers). Convenience is one of the benefits to being a subscriber. I suggest a Subscriber Only transport pad be: Platinum Subscribers: takes you to UPPER Guild Hall Gold Subscri...

Anvils

The implementation of the current anvils I think should be reconsidered. I have burned myself out trying to find anvils that are on. And when I do, it too often will not upgrade the armor (because a distant anvil of the same level). If IR was not so big and random in design then the current implemen...

Moving between UGH/Nork/IR to NL (and vice a versa)

Currently, the Upper Guild Hall can be set to take you to either Nork1 or Nork2 via portals. This should also apply when entering the NL portals (takes you to either NL1 or NL2). And logically when in Nork1 it should take you to NL1; and Nork2 should take you to NL2. Likewise, when speaking to NL's ...

Re: Crit Respawn

And if only one other person hunts that same area, then there is nothing to hunt. Then two people, or a multi-boxer, hunts near by.

And since platinum is not party distributed, then no one wants to party with others. So, no one joins with others in IR.

Still haven't figured out the brews. Was able to make the Heavy Combat Replication, as bought in store. However, replacing the Blue Eryngo with Broadleaf Arrowhead did not produce a better (or Primal) version of the potion. I have tried other combinations, as well, and all failed. Haven't seen drops...

Idea: Making backstab more interesting at higher xp/skill

I have not used backstab regularly since I landed in Sullen Keep (SK) and Invader's Refuge (IR). Instead I use darkness, infravision, charge, tiers, and quirks. When I use backstab in SK and IR my thief ends up a blood splat soon after. It has to do with the time between the backstab and hide. IDEA:...

Since Platinum coins are here to stay. Offer Subscribers a special feature. Auto search only your kills. And pocket those coins.

Re: Things I like in the latest update to IR

The NPC brew drops are fun. Even though most of them are not useful to the class I am playing at the time, they are still fun to drink; because occasionally they do benefit, while not interrupting my gameplay. That the brews are of random strengths also adds to the novelty/fun of the drops. I haven'...

Re: Chasing NPCs is still a pain

Another alternative to reducing their movements to 0, which I am guessing you like for the mentalist but not the thief; would be to allow the targeted NPC every other round to move to the thief's hex (then the other round to move away then back again). Kind of a lasso's or roping a steer behavior. T...

Not seeing any new item drops in the rooms with beds, couches, double star rugs, fireplaces yet; nor hallway NPCs (actually just found a earring from Wotan, so fyi). Drops are occurring in the baking and <I forget> rooms.

I had previously placed some ingredients in the GDH brew window/locker, then happened to go to IR and the Thief brew spot, and they were same items.

I definitely like the revamped NPCs. They are taken down in a pleasurable time scale now. However, their regen rate after corpse rot seems low. Especially, with more players trying out IR now.
