The market is being constantly saturated by ALL kinds of crafting materials all across the board. The prices should be going down for all of them, not just rogue stones. So no, the value of desired items is not stable, it's being artificially kept high by shop owners. Rogue stones going down in pri...

When I first joined Arelith I actually had only been playing nwn for about 2 weeks. I did play briefly in about 2008 or so but shelved it completely as the single player campaign was so bad I couldn't finish it (still can't, I've tried again several times). I think GOG was having a winter sale so I ...

I have the most fun when I commit myself to permadeath if: 1) I'm not killed by a mob just plinking around in a dungeon by myself. and 2) I'm killed in way where there is no chance of a raise (body is destroyed or never will be found). and 3) The death had meaning either in my story or for somebody ...

2) If your intention is to be a part of pvp, then you need to RP yourself too. Otherwise too many people would just sit around with invis/stealthed gank squads and bait people into pvp. Ask yourself why you'd avoid RP, other than to simply gain a PVP advantage over people you're not even interactin...

I have a 1st edition AD&D players handbook from the late 1970s and monks are already a base D&D class. Bards barely are (they're some weird rogue/druid afterthought in the appendix) and fantasy stalwarts like barbarian and sorcerer don't even yet exist. So it's not like monks are some controversial...

Also, any plans on changing how the caravan transportation will work with regards to timing? I'm curious about this as well. Yesterday I got to a caravan just at the top of the hour and missed it, so I had to wait for a full RL hour to catch the next one. It used to be not too bad if you missed a c...

Seems to me that you’d do well with turning tells off for a while. Keep it completely in game as an experiment for a couple weeks and see how that feels. Personally I think this is good advice. I now play with no-tell in force all the time as I find them to be immersion breaking (including the ones...

I was just in these areas a couple days ago and I found myself thinking how important ambient sound is to setting the mood, and in fact the jungle drums are what stirred my thought. I can see how it might be just noise after awhile, but if you're under-leveled for the area you're exploring it adds t...

Would be neat if there was some way to know if theres a ton of people in a building in the cities. An occasional message from a door with various messages based on the amount of players in an area would be a near queue Say if there is 5 to 10 - *there is occasional laughing heard from in the tavern...

Thanks for sharing this. I only played with it briefly so far but it looks handy.

__ In order to balance against that top 5% of power-built, oppressively optimized pvp machines, you need to make mechanical changes that will have WIDE REACHING impacts on OTHER builds played by CASUAL players that are not optimized in this way, and this will ruin the basic viability and/or fun of ...

The screens are great, but I'll probably decide to override them eventually as I tend to play in low-light conditions and some of the transitions are blinding. For example the picture of Arelith and the planes. Love the picture but it's a whammy when it comes up. Of course, having a small lamp for a...

I noticed this on a single model a couple days ago - the purser in the Guldorand monastery, but no other models at that time and haven't seen that elsewhere for several months now. I haven't gone back to check again but as no one else has mentioned it by now it presumably was a one-off fluke. Pretty...

This is awesome - not how I imagined (thought he would look a bit more aged) but captures his vibe. Love it. Hope he stays around for a bit.

Thanks for this, lots of good info here. Should probably have its own link in the wiki.

If it's really true that old characters are sitting on millions, the decay time on that wealth relative to expense is going to be effectively forever. That said, increasing gold drops again isn't going to solve that either. However there are a few PW factors that don't come into play in RL. For exam...

Another interesting side effect to this is the charity barrels and chests are far less charitable now compared to before. There used to be good finds in those chests, even crafted items. Those donations can be a real boost for low level characters, I know I've gotten a couple finds that were really ...

"What's FOM?" "Freedom of Movement." "Oh, ok!" Subscribe for more easy interpersonal communication tips. Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Honestly scratching my head on NEP though. Finding nothing related to nwn, and the only gaming reference the int...

Guldorand got that boat due to the long plot I ran years ago involving, yep, loggers from Amn, hostile druids, and lots of fun shenanigans! Good times. Sounds like more shenanigans are in order. Given the lift and lever were still present even after they were revamped I kind of assumed the area was...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding - are you suggesting on a RP server people should be allowed to walk/run around settlements with weapons drawn? The only thing I am suggesting here is that with a population of 2000 + players it would be impossible to find a consensus on what constitutes "the perfect RP s...

I don't know. I'm feeling a little baffled with what I'm hearing in different threads at the moment to be honest. I would to go to Guldorand depending on my mood - it was a nice place to hang out to catch up on campfire chatter, the message board or just expose yourself to a little danger if you wan...

I don't think the market has yet adapted to the much lower gold drop so prices on things like adamantine is way too high for the new batch of characters coming. This happens in other, real economies too (specifically thinking about the speculation market, such as ebay). When the market for a partic...

As a forest gnome it's understandable that not just any quarter would do. I've always had trouble finding a quarter (anywhere), more so a shop, but I don't think it's unreasonable to find someone who might share. I know I would if I was a woodsy type and a forest gnome came knocking. Bendir or Brog ...

Seems like no one's got any need for mine, but I'll just leave it here as a monument to my hubris.

Nothing wrong with variants. Should be room enough for both.

Some PGCC test I just did. I did get the minogon change: Tensers works with EMA. Don't know if intended or not. Doesn't work with other polymorphs like Shapchange. This probably needs to be considered. Might be by design, from the wiki: Epic Mage Armor: Cannot be used while in the effect of Polymor...
