>>bubble making jar

Do you mean these?


You remove a wire wand from in your black glass jar.

>exh wand
You blow on a wire wand, causing seven bubbles to float into the air!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

>exh bubble
You lightly blow on a small bubble, blowing it around.
A small bubble suddenly pops!

>poke bubble
You quickly jab your finger at a large bubble. A large bubble pops!

>eat bubb
You gnash your teeth on a tiny bubble. A tiny bubble pops!
You cough and grimace horribly as the soap coats your tongue!

You frown and scrape your tongue across your teeth in an attempt to get the flavor of soap off of it.

Lifting slowly into the air, a tiny bubble is caught by a draft.

A small bubble suddenly pops!

On a completely random note, how about offering the ability to learn (speak and understand) an unknown language? Maybe krolvin? Or maybe pirate-speak (can only ever be learned via Troubled Waters).

I sold them at EG, that's it right now. But I just ok'd an unlimited bubble jar and an unlimited lipbalm for the Illustrious Vanah to use in future TW. Enjoy.

~GM Liia, recommends you don't mix your lipbalm with your bubbles.

Minor update! I won't have time to add the newly requested items or give a list of the new items before the prizes rotate on the 1st. The prizes I listed before are still rotating out. There are a few new ones being added which will be on the sign. The prizes and the signs update automatically, there just won't be any of these recent requests added.

I know I have a habit of being negative but I just want you guys to know my opinion. I'm really disappointed with the new tw prizes. The last two roll outs were nice. This one is really meh. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see some of the new item attributes but I doubt it. Three months is a long time to wait for the next round :-(. Thx

Would be nice to see something for the archery set...or a belt that enhances etc

Honestly though, I think the new prizes look interesting (that pendant for 100 could be very cool) and am just waiting around to see what the stats are...Will hopefully snag a cool runestaff for my mage next time

Would anyone mind reading the sign and posting the current crop of prizes. Need to decide whether to hoard or dump my Blackscript.

Hey Vanah,

Not sure if this means you are stepping down or what but wanted to say thanks for all the time and effort you have put into this adventure and other efforts to make the game more fun! TW is the first pay adventure for me that's been a recurring fun thing to do. Assuming you are stepping away from TW for good, I really do hope someone decides to step up to help keep this and similar adventures going.

Best of luck to you in your Non-GS ventures!

>I just wanted to ask again about this. I'd love to put it on some lower end rolaren items.

there was an incident at EG in 2013 where the fusion shaman was adding slots to gear that did not previously have slots. It was a big mess, and Wyrom made it clear that adding slots to items that did not previously have slots was not intended to happen and items were hunted down/handed in and the shaman was fixed to not add slots. You can read the posts in this thread if you really want: http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Quests%60Sagas%60Events/Ebon%20Gate%20Festival/view/5815

so yeah, unless something has changed since then, I don't think you'll be seeing this happen.

Re: Prize list 01/20/2015 12:18 PM CST
To further touch base on this subject, because I know it's a hot topic...

Fusion takes a lot of the original design intent of the enhancive system out of the mix. Enhancives were always intended to be a finite resource to players. When they were introduced there wasn't even a way to recharge them, and all of them were intended to crumble upon being depleted. But changes happened, and we were able to recharge them, the crumbling situation of some items were addressed, and now staff has way to flag an item to persist, as well as "gear" type items persisting by default.

Fusion allows you to take an enhancive item, whether it crumbles or not, and make a permanent orb that can be transferred to any other gear type item that supports fusion. The cost is with the destruction of the original item and silvers. Fusion is amazing, GM Auchand has an incredible vision with systems like this.

Our worn location limits are another we address players having too many enhancives, as are the enhancive caps. So increasing slots on fusion gear gets around the worn location restrictions, "orbing" gets around our finite crumbling enhancives, and it also gives a lot of incentive to players to continue to find the best combinations to get closer to the enhancive caps, something that was not intended for many to be able to do.

When the topic comes up that we should offer an enhancive sash to stick all your enhancive trinkets on, or add fusion to your existing gear, it's a really tough balance, because we've come so far away from the original design intent of the system. Yes, we continue to offer things to make enhancives more of a boon, than a headache. But adding fusion to existing gear is one we'd have to make very costly if we ever revisited it. Nothing is ever set in stone.
