Personal cauldron

Sam · #1 01-01-2010, 07:52 PM

Since I've lost my +3 cauldron by scamming, I had this idea. What if we could improve a cauldron to + ++ +++ similar an improved weapon?
It could be done in many different ways.
What do you think?

cyan3 · #2 01-01-2010, 07:54 PM

Would be nice if you could lock cauldrons to accounts. I lost my cauldron +3 the same way

Yes. And the improvement could be related to the amount and quality of the stuff you made with it and of your mental power or so.

Oh..god..LOL.

Agreed.
There's like no one with a +3 Cauldron that plays right now, so it sucks for those who wanna do DoV..

Sam · #8 01-02-2010, 12:15 AM

I know a lot of recipes and I want to make some weapons and armor that I haven't seen last time.

Sadly nothing has changed. The community do not get answers when they have a suggestion.

Stephen · #23 01-07-2010, 03:33 PM

Personally, I don't think it's a good idea.

Can you explain why?
What's the difference to improving armor and weapons? Why not also give alchemists and sorcerers also something to improve their "tool"?

Craigus · #25 01-07-2010, 08:01 PM

Improving cauldrons doesn't make a lot of sense to me, i wouldn't be against alchemists having some special privileges in regards to alchemy but then we'd need something for each class.

I do like the idea of locking cauldrons to accounts, could do it the same way as event cubes are done, so if you dropped your cauldron only you could pick it up yet they could still be traded via trade tables.

MajinDragon · #26 01-07-2010, 08:09 PM

Making them act in the same way as a cube is a good idea, simple and very effective. It would solve the problem alchemists face when working.

We have such kind of privileges you chose them with your class: Barbarians are stronger but fail more often to learn reading and writing, priests can pray but need to learn other skills or need a special item like a talisman etc.

So classes need on the one hand to buy a special item or to learn skills, other classes already have. On the contrary, is it possible to improve a weapon or enchant armor.

Dunno which game your playing but in the one i play everyone is equal in everything regardless which class they are. The only thing that separates people is god choice

Long time ago when you started. Just ask a warrior trial if he is able to pray or to do alchemy.

Well nowadays everyone is 100% equal, and only gods, gear, levels and skill separate players.

I didn't know that. So all the scrolls you have to learn to be able casting, praying etc. are useless now. So they should not still be available in the shops.

Maybe you're not quite up to date with graal kigndoms status.

They're entirely useless, most everyone is 100% equal because they have all succeeded in passing these scrolls and learning them.

Damix2 · #33 01-07-2010, 11:51 PM

My +3 cauldron got burnt and thats how I lost it =(

Stephen · #34 01-08-2010, 12:49 AM

I'd love to experiment with some very simple class advantages - a single, very simple, advantage to each class to get the ball rolling. I'm not sure how effective it would be - but in theory it could be pretty great, especially in helping people work together.

An example of some such simple advantage might be that warriors have a 20% increase in their weapon speed, and wizards have a 20% increase in their casting speed. I don't want to design some profoundly complex system... I don't even want to begin to suggest such a system. A successful system would evolve over years through careful observation... not in a week at an individuals (or even a group of individuals) whim.

There should probably be some more +3 cauldron's in the game, but I don't think they should be craftable in any way. I'm hoping to begin phasing alchemy recipes out of shops to improve the economy for alchemy items. Additionally, god based blessing should be more time consuming to improve the value - the long term goal is to slowly transition the game mechanics so they reside in a more normal range of the existing game mechanics.

Has always been like that.

seanthien · #35 01-08-2010, 01:21 AM

How about we finally get rid of the whole mental leveling with DoV. It's really the only serious alchemy aspect most players adore.

I just tested it with a trial account. A thief cannot pray or cast when he has finished his tasks on start island. He need to learn these skills with the scrolls. So it is as I said in my post above.

I don't want cauldrons be craftable, they should be improved by doing sophisticated recipes.

Yea, and as clearly stated in previous posts by other users in this very same thread - any class can learn any and every skill... like it has always been.

Contrary much?

9500th post!

Yeah your right all the classes are different for the first 10 hours of game play - then everyone's the same, point is everyone's the same eventually.

Cauldrons now behave like cubes (only owners can pick them up unless they're left alone for a while). You can also not open a cauldron that does not belong to you. Hopefully this solves some problems with cauldrons being stolen.

Report bugs to me privately.

Woo *claps for craigus*

The cauldron thing wasn't a bug, just an annoying aspect of game-play requiring alteration to improve things.
