Since some of you are already looking ahead, it's time for my semiannual HESS requests thread! Please put your requests for additions to HESS for the next run. If it's something we already stock, no need to include it. You can check what we already have offered at: https://gswiki.play.net/Duskruin_Arena/August_2021_High_End_Scrip_Shop_List

Also, please bear in mind that we will not be stocking script adding services for scripts that are not at least a year old, so if one of the newer ones is on your wishlist, bookmark it for next year.

Darcena: Tivvy is creepy.
Vyrshkana: ...this is news?

Splitter unlocks, please.

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,
And the stream that falls from the hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this Took.

I agree with Splitters returning.

I agree with "adding Cursed armor."

Script-swapping. (Or, if the SECOND item has no script, "move this script from itemX to itemY.")

What is the Greater transmute? (I saw one at Mania; what's the difference?)

"Take enhanciveX from itemX and add it to enhanciveX on itemY." (So if you have an Aura Bonus +3 over here, and an Aura Bonus +4 over here, you wind up with <nothing> and Aura Bonus +7. Properties must match: skill name/recovery/max/stat straight across.)

.

Even though you didn't ask, I want to add some for SpellBound:
- Return of citrine pin/1750.
- Return of wizard hat/520.
- Add "multiple good Paladin spells" multi-cast wands of (the self-cast stuff) to SpellBound. (In the same manner as the 507/508/905 [gold?] wands.)

kind of a hess request. can we get the dabbler to remove temp wps too please!!!

We already have AsG changes, and I think I saw shield size changes.

I know that I have suggested it before, but "weapon base" change would be great, too.
(I'm looking specifically at things like that langseax in the Trove, would be great for an ambusher as a short sword rather than a longsword.)

I shall repeat my suggestion of flare and resistance swaps: swap out your current flares or resists for one of the same variety for, perhaps, a lower cost than doing it fresh.

Signed,

>Speaking to Zyllah, Alyias says, "See? Raelee knows all."

Future HESS items I'd like to see:

1) Lesser Permify enhancives - make non crumbly
2) Greater permify enhancives - make non crumbly and does not run out of charges (or at least a slower and more predictable drain rate)
2) Perfect weapon upgrade - apply to your item to allow it to be reforged into a perfect version. You can make it so you still must seek a master blacksmith artisan to complete the reforging process if your worried about taking business away from artisan masters.
3) +1 TD certs in addition to the +5's
4) Stepwise upgrades for voln armor - I could never save enough bloodscript to buy one of these until now...and now they are gone!
5) Stepwise upgrade for briar flares, or a general +1 tier upgrade for any rare script that doesn't doesn't already sell upgrades for. I have a T2 briar flaring weapon I'd like to finally upgrade to T3.
6) Add OB/enchant OB
7) Flare affinity
8) Unlimited gold rings
9) Lesser item property swap - swap a single item property from one item to another applicable item
10) Greater item property swap - swap all applicable scripts, subscripts, flares, banes, enchant, ensorcel, etc, from one item to another.
11) Mind wrack flares
12) Banshee flares
13) Permify fusion orb - Fusion orb never degrades and can be freely swapped out of fusion armor with no penalty. This is how fusion should be, imo! I love the concept of fusion armor but hate the current hassle they are.
14) T3 Iasha certs or whatever max tier is. People that bought Iasha weapons should be able to finish upgrading them!
15) DB or armor accessory location swap.
16) Rare material forging slabs with a boosted or 100% chance to create a perfect (Adamantine, Zelnorn, High Steel, Low steel, etc)
17) Update ores to be usable with UAC and ranged weapons (leather gauntlets with high steel studs or leather boots with stitched with high steel toes)
18) Same as above for armors (zelnorn threaded full leather, zelnorn buttoned robes, etc)
19) Allow resistance certs to be usable on resistance cloaks

Permify Enhancive
Add Animalistic Armor to existing
Add Parasite armor to existing

- add terror flares (either as a standalone thing or as part of a different add-a-flare thing)
- add cursed armor script

- EK

>You now regard Eorgina with a warm demeanor.

Remove Chain spear
Add Hurling Returner Script (Plain, not ethereal)

-I would love it if HESS could stock the pet spiders from the 20 year web anniversary, similar to how it stocks the Phoenix now. I really, really, really want a pet spider.

-Hmm, I would also love if I could add animalistic scripting to an existing item. That is one way I can get a pet spider!

Thanks!

"Even though you didn't ask, I want to add some for SpellBound:
- Return of citrine pin/1750.
- Return of wizard hat/520." -- Me, #13783

Thinking about it, both of those might be more suitably put into the limited-availability for HESS. <shrug>

.

We had the gold wand (gold coin/Arcane Decoy, moonstone cube/Martial Prowess, small statue/Spirit Guard) already, for "slightly long-term/regular hunting" effects.

How about another one for the "short-term/Boss Monster" effects?
Faith Shield/1619, Wizard Shield/919, Wall of Force/140

" - Add "multiple good Paladin spells" multi-cast wands of (the self-cast stuff) to SpellBound. (In the same manner as the 507/508/905 [gold?] wands.)" -- ibid

Specific example: combined wand for Patron's Blessing/1611, Faith's Clarity/1612, Vigor/1616. All of them good, 20-minute spells.

Diminutive pangolin figurine please.

I cannot imagine that this would be used VERY frequently, and I am hesitant to decrease the rarity of my amazing armor, but offering the small race script to armors might be something that some players would welcome. Basically, allowing you to reduce the weight below max light for gnomes and halfings that don't have access to my delightful imflass halfling-sized plate. I would ask that you don't reduce every full plate armor to the 22 lbs that my armor is, but some degree of lightening might be welcome.

tldr; I would feel less special, but burghal gnomes and halflings would be excited!

If I think of any others I'll let you know!

I'd like to see 25, 50, 100, 150 services certs added to HESS, with applicable service limits and surcharges. The earlier Duskruins had "flat" padding and "flat" weighting items that added +10 CER to items. I know things have changed since those days, but the switch to the diminishing return "services" system should mitigate much of the concern associated with those certs.

I don't think I'm alone in the opinion that HESS has stagnated, when it used to be the big draw. Services certs would be a big step in returning HESS to its former glory.

1000% agree. +10 resist certs like was before would be so great.

Yeah, keep wishing for that "never lose charges." Heh.
(The "charged for a month" potions are easily had at annual sales, some times drop in GiftBoxes, and now they even have "charged for a year" potions.)

.

Completely agree with the UAC gear/ore requests, though.

.

Please add "limited list of SK enhancives." Like "nothing higher than 5th level spells." There are a bunch of low-level things that I could get a ton of mileage out of.

Add me to the permify enhancive request and the upgrading of a weapon to superior or perfect forged via HESS.

<It takes a fair amount of time to both master and forge a perfect weapon so if they do plan to offer a conversion to re-forge a weapon into a perfect blade, I hope some added benefit will be introduced to using self-forged weaponry, or include a master smith in the process somehow, otherwise artisan forging would be somewhat obsolete>

+1

Well said

Starchitin, the OG

A severed gnomish hand crawls in on its fingertips and makes a rude gesture before quickly decaying and rotting into dust. A gust of wind quickly scatters the dust.

While I agree using a master smith in the process to reforge a weapon into a perfect would be ideal, I don't think artisan forging would see much of any loss in business. We're talking high end scrip shop here, so acquiring perfects from players would be far, far cheaper.

Enchanting is a very healthy player service that can also be done with HESS, yet at an extremely expensive cost compared to player enchanting. What's the difference?

When a players favorite items get to a point where they cannot be improved by another players service, I see no harm in allowing HESS to get the job done, even if it cost an arm and a leg to do so.

I suppose another option would be to allow players to reforge weapons into perfects through the artisan system, but I just don't see that happening. Frankly I think reforging could be a huge money maker for Duskruin. I'd know I'd spend quite a bit on it.

As a FYI, I have a few master blacksmith's as well, but the system is too limited. I want to improve my rare metal weapon and older weapons to be on par with my perfect weapons too. It would be awesome if master smith's were made a part of the process, but I don't think a service like this should be denied/delayed if not.

And maybe its the OCD in me, but I feel like my weapons are not complete without being a perfect forged. I hope a happy medium can be found to keep master smith's happy and making this service happen.
