What's the formula for how much health health weaver gives?

It increases your health by 3%, rounded down (I think). So if you have 6000 health, health weaver will make it 6180.

Is there a very very easy way to post information on bugs? I have tried BUG and BUGAPPEND but it is quite tedious to write everything in one single line (even with word wrap on in notepad). And when I paste it on command line, the entire box just fattens up.

Basically if they rename an artie or it's in any way customized or changed (here by heraldry).

If you customise the description of the artefact, then the new custom description is to the left, and under "originally" you see what the artefact was named before customisation.

EDIT: Oh man, double ninjad.

Does truefavour give you more crits?

11.6 DIVINE FAVOUR AND DISFAVOUR


If you particularly please or anger a God, He or She may choose to grant you
favour, or curse you with disfavour, both of which last a limited time.

There are four levels of favours and disfavours. Each level provides certain
advantages (or disadvantages) that combine cumulatively with all other current
favours and disfavours, with exceptions as noted below.

The command GODFEELINGS will show any current favours or disfavours.

The four levels of favour (or disfavour), from least to most powerful, are:
(DIS)FAVOUR, STRONG(DIS)FAVOUR, HIGH(DIS)FAVOUR, TRUE(DIS)FAVOUR

(DIS)FAVOUR
  - Adds (or subtracts) a point of constitution.
  - Adds something to your appearance.

STRONG(DIS)FAVOUR
  - Alters your skills, with the amount in each skill dependent on the God
    doing the favouring or disfavouring.
  - Gives an xp bonus or takes away some xp when it ends.

HIGH(DIS)FAVOUR
  - You will no longer feel or get more hungry, or tired. If you are
    already hungry or tired, you will remain so until you do something
    to improve that. Or doubles the rate you get hungry or tired.
  - Adds a damage reducing shield, cutting damage (of all kinds, from all
    sources) done to you by about 15%, or makes you take about 15% more
    damage. (NOT CUMULATIVE WITH ANY OTHER FAVOURS)

TRUE(DIS)FAVOUR
  - Adds (or deducts) one point to (or from) all stats.

If you put things in a pack then put that pack into a bag of Slower decay time awesome yay (Forgot how to spell it)

Do the things in the pack decay slower or is it just the pack that does?

Kyrra

Nested items will decay at normal speed.

Does anyone know if bound mayan crowns are spent first when buying something from the SoW? And is there anyway of being able to choose whether to spend bound/non-bound crowns at all?

Antonius

@Tylor: I would assume they're like credits in that you can only use bound Mayan crowns to buy items for yourself.

They're not.

Bound are spent first.

Antonius

@Sena: Well, that seems slightly... half-assed.

Sena

Antonius said:

Why? Adding a way to bind crowns and requiring them to be bound before spending just adds a pointless extra step. The only reason bound crowns exist at all is so crowns can be given away in promotions.

Antonius

Just strikes me as odd that they'd do the work to make them almost identical to regular credits, but not actually make the two systems function identically. All of the arguments one way or the other seem to apply to them both equally.

Tylor

Thanks a bunch!

 

Either way, I didn't want to accidently spend what I can sell.

Anyone know how many clothing slots you have?

I figured it was

Head
Face
Neck
Back
Shirt
Over shirt
Underwear
Pants
Socks
Shoes
Fingers

Anything else or did I catch it all?

What was the citidel made of? Emerald or Emerald crystal?

Melodie

I was always told emerald crystal. I don't know if I have any logs that include the description, though.

Verily

'Unable to withstand the crushing pressure Sycaerunax brought to bear, the Citadel of Light explodes in a storm of emerald glass shards that blankets Shallam.'

That speaks of it being glass, huh.

Kyrra

Glass is cheaper to import over gemstones.

Jacen

Crystal just defines the structure of the material, it isn't a material itself. Emerald and emerald crystal are the same thing.

Does anyone know what the pattern is that makes a ship decide when to move N and when to move NW when traveling NNW?

If you're just moving steadily NNW, it just alternates N, NW, N, NW. When turning from N to NNW or NW to NNW, I think that which it does first is determined by which direction you're turning from. I want to say it's the farthest direction from the one you turned from first, so if you turn from N to NNW you'll go NW and then alternate, and if you turn from NW to NNW you'll go N and then alternate; not sure about that part, though.

Thanks, but I just tested this last part and didn't find it to be true. I moved N, then turned NNW. Then separately moved W, then turned NNW. And I started going NW both times. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Like I said, wasn't sure about that part. Hopefully someone else will chime in, I'm pretty sure I've seen forum posts on the topic that sounded like the person knew what they were talking about.

Edit:
Here's the thread I was remembering (incorrectly, as it happens). http://forums.achaea.com/discussion/comment/23524/#Comment_23524
@Jonathin's reply has an explanation, but I can't say I entirely understand what he's describing.

Not if the latter is referring to a generic crystal that is emerald in colour.

Jacen

Point conceded.
