for ammo, always running out of bolts, barbed arrows.

LT, HT weapons are always needed. ones that fit in a backpack, not spears, for ht.


And above all, make the shop stealable.



Explore the Final Frontier - the unknown calls

Some of the higher-quality bolts and arrows, as well as throwing blades would be excellent.

As far as storebought armor...I'm not sure. I think most Rissans are using crafted armor.

>>Do we have storebought throwing blades ingame now? Example please!

Wonderful, fantastic stacking throwing blades from right outside of Shard:

survival shop by shard has 'em.



Explore the Final Frontier - the unknown calls

I would vote for broad-barbed arrows from the Shard Survivalist shop.

Throwing blades from Shard Survivalist Shop.
Golden tasseled spears from the Theren Keep Armory.

Thank you :)

I don't believe so--They are two handed and I've only been able to fit them in long containers such as a backtube.

It would be great to finally get ristes available to players. Think that's been talked about since long before I even moved out to M'riss.

>>Ristes are VERY cool. ~wink~

Hooray!

<<OK folks, how about blunts, blades and bows?

Nisha short bows would be nifty - sold at El-Bain's stop in P2.
Perhaps some of the muspar'i S'kra themed weapons?

-Evran

Moongate, Ressurection, and Fire Rain, Oh my!

Alvy, got talk to the barb guild leader and ask about a Risti.. there is a weapon for you to sell on M'riss!

I know Magdar, I have one ~TEASE~ It's mine, all mine!!!!!!


Generally, I think most of the other weapons are best served by the templates from the Crossings weapons shop. It's what I usually buy if I need something storebought. Maybe throw in a bastard sword and bola (I think they're from Steelclaw Clan) and you'd be good to go.

I had forgotten about the bola, is it still a popular choice?

Good suggestion on the nisha short bow but due to the S'Kra lore on M'Riss I don't see them stocking S'Kra weapons. The S'Kra ghosts may grab them and kill off the current populace! Hmmmmm, that has potential as a future hunting area. I need to remember that one!


I think there are a few more examples of newer templates for the crafting system that don't have a store part counterpart.

Any idea what they are or do I need to shake down Kodius about them?


Great suggestions folks! Keep em coming!

GM Alvy

Alvy, there are quite a few weapons in the crafting book that don't have store bought counterparts that I am aware of...

a few off the top of my head... Pugio(Piercing LE), Dao(slicing LE), Boomerangs(LB/LT), Abassi(Piercing HE), Spatha (Slicing HE), Marauder Blade(Lighter 2HE), Flamberge(very heavy 2HE with a significant amount of impact), Gavel (LB), Ukabi(HB), Double Sided Ball and Chain(relatively light 2HB), Dire Mace (Extremely Heavy 2HB), Tzece(Halberd), and lots and lots of others.

Here's a link to the stats, if it helps.

Is the Nisha short bow a S'kra weapon? I didn't realize there was any sizable S'Kra population in Therengia outside of Muspar'i.

Alvy,

When you're quoting someone, would you mind putting a > at the start of the sentence? The forums will but the statement in italics, and generally speaking people will know it's a quote. You're causing me a wierd cognitive dissonance when you ask/answer your own questions!

>Like this.

<<No it isn't so it's fine for M'Riss. M'Riss doesn't have alot of S'Kra there now due to its history and any S'Kra that go there now are periodically visited by S'Kra ghosts. The library has several books on Rissan history.

I've read all of the Rissan history books I can find, so I'm fairly comfortable with the lore and the reasoning behind no/very few S'Kra on the island and the ghosts.

Anyhow, to chop what people have asked for:

broad-barbed arrows from Survivalist Shop
throwing blade from Survivalist Shop
Nisha short bow from El Bain's Stop
Milgrym's Weapons entire stock?
bastard sword from Steelclaw Clan
bola from Steelclaw Clan
pugios, daos, boomerangs, abassi, spatha, marauder blades, flamberges, ukabi, gavels, double-sided ball and chain, dire mace, tzece as craftable items without homes. (Although I think some of those might have been coopted as S'Kra weapons)
golden tasseled spears from Theren Keep
ristes?

Gonna go ahead and ask for the crossbow bolts (there's a few varieties, the thin steel-tipped and the blunt ones would be useful on Riss) from Rossman's Sticks and Stones.

My original thought was "I don't want to have to go to the mainland to resupply for hunting. Rissans are supposed to be fiercely self-reliant and it's a culture built on smuggling. Nothing should be out of reach on M'Riss." I wouldn't even mind being charged a premium on stock, although I'd prefer a citizenship discount if you go that route.

Sorry if I confused anyone by not quoting with a >. I'll try to remember it in the future!

>My original thought was "I don't want to have to go to the mainland to resupply for hunting. Rissans are supposed to be fiercely self-reliant and it's a culture built on smuggling. Nothing should be out of reach on M'Riss."

This is exactly why I decided to ask the people of M'Riss their preferences before I decided to build. I could have just gone with a basic selection of storebought weapons, and that may be enough for some people, but I try to go that extra mile with any shops I add to the island's landscape.

GM Alvy

>Milgrym's Weapons entire stock?

Probably not the entire stock, but a stripped down selection. Broadsword, scimitar, two-handed sword. For LE, I'd say put the jambiya in stock; LEs typically are either going to be puncture or slice, and it fills both. And the LEs in Milgryms are blah. Blunts: Mace, Mattock (or flail, they're interchangable to me). HB should be covered by the tiger-toothed morning star from Tiger clan instead of Milgryms, since the HB Milgryms carries are all the freakish 'you need 2 hands to use this but it only trains HB not 2HB' templates unless that's changed. I think people have covered LT/HT, so there's probably a pike in there somewhere, but a halberd, probably based on the short-hafted halberd from Theren keep since it will fit in a backpack, would fill a niche.

People have mentioned crossbow bolts, but no crossbows, so there's something to keep in mind.

>Why not just ask for weapon straps as well?

Because straps and worn halberds are a contrivance and annoyance, and Alvy already seemed agreeable to putting in spears which specifically fit in a backpack. So I mentioned the only halberd template I'm aware of which will do the same.

<<I had forgotten about the bola, is it still a popular choice?

It's my choice if I want a non-lodging thrown. I don't know if others agree or not. It's a nice alternative to the throwing blades.

All this info really helps! The more info you give me to work with, the better I can build something that will meet people's needs.

When I was playing full time some of my pet peeves were HT (or any weapon) that didn't fit in my harness or pack and lodging LTs. I've always tried to avoid them in the merchant's I've made over the years.
