Implementor Volgathras Posted May 22, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Denizens of Aabahran, In an attempt to provide further realism, and allow for more play opportunities in the game, we have decided to implement a system of creation for Aabahran. It is called Archimus' Association for the Advancement of Aabahran, and it gives adventurers the opportunity to permanently leave their mark on these Forsaken Lands. The introduction is as follows: AVA Archimus: The Q-A Grand Opening! Wed May 22 11:02:46 2013 To: All my Fellow Thinkers Hello and salutations, friends, My name is Archimus, a name you've undoubtedly never heard. My absence from these lands of my forebearers has been long and fruitful, myself and my escort traveling to lands far and exotic. We saw, we learned, we recorded, and now we return to help bring our society closer to the future of civilization. With my return, and with the consent of my fellow inventor Brambus, we have decided to open to the public our brain-child. Long years ago, while we were young, Brambus and I sought to apply our talents to the betterment of mortality through creation. we created the Association for the Advancement of Aabahran, within which we struggled night and day for enlightenment. When I was given rank and title for achievements, the 3-A became known as Archimus' Association for the Advancement of Aabahran; titled the Quadrupal A, or Q-A. Now, with my return, I gift the funds and materials to all of you. This is a call to all thinkers and dreamers. This is a plea for those of us who see the new in the old. come forth and apply yourselves to the advancement of our society by making something the world will cheer you for! The first invention I should like to see - Blast Salts. A powerful creation, a powder which reacts quickly and explosively to fire. Discover it's And now a brief rundown: Be aware that inventions at this time are still in development and are subject to change. Inventions: Archimus will provide the world at large with direction as to which specific advancements he would like to see made. The rate and number at any given time is subject to change. Currently, one invention is available for discovery - Blast Salts. Players are permitted to submit their own suggestions for inventions via the prayer forum, but submission doesn't guarantee your idea will be accepted. Please remember that any submissions must conform to fantasy realm - no tesla tanks or nuclear ninja light sabers. Also, all inventions must follow a logical progression of creation; the foundations for an invention must exist before the advanced version can be made. So air ships cannot be made without nailing down prepulsion, steering, gas/fuel, delivery systems, navigation instruments, passenger housing, etc. Creation Process: Each invention is composed of several 'ingredients' found throughout the world. They don't have to be in any particular area, but they do have to follow logic (to a point, of course). Throwing three hundred slabs of starstone in to the research apparatus will not make penicilin. When an invention is first proposed, very few hints will be forthcoming. The idea is, of course, for the players to find out themselves. Those dedicated enough to mastering an invention first will have their name permanently affixed to that item. So, if Arthryn discovers rocket boots, the name of the boots will forever be... Arthryn's rocket boots. Or something to that effect. As time goes on, more hints will be made available if it is clear the players are stumped. Asking for more hints won't help, so don't try. So far, this is what we have for inventions. Keep an eye on this thread for further hints, inventions, and updates to the system as they come. Due to the nature of the inventions at this time, we ask anyone who has figured out how to create a particular invention to alert the immortal staff in the prayer forum with: 1.) Your character name (if on the forums) 2.) The ingredients used 3.) A log of the creation if you have it We do have means to detect when players are being less than honest, so stick to the straight and narrow. Thank you, and enjoy.

J.Twendrist Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 How do you know when you got it right? Do you put the ingredients into the aparatus and use it or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Volgathras Posted May 22, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 You'll be awarded with a message and a global echo will state who the discoverer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Twendrist Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 What I mean is, I'm assuming we're looking for things to use as pieces to the puzzle, how do we know when we have the right pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Twendrist Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Also, I'd like to state for the record I think this is all really bad ***!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Volgathras Posted May 22, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Currently, you won't - as in, it won't tell you unless you have all the required items together. As time goes on, if people still haven't discovered the answer, Archimus will provide more hints. At presen we know only that it's 'several organic items.'

Iyorvin Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can we define organic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Volgathras Posted May 22, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can we define organic? Something which metabolizes energy from it's surroundings to gain sustenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iyorvin Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Also one big question, does the machine look at the 'material' tag of an item, or a specific item when coded? I only ask because the material tag could allow the substitution of items and perhaps a more interesting route, just curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Twendrist Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 ^Good question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Voodoo Doll Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 so the items that are randomly placed throughout the lands, are they all laying on the ground, are they in spots where mobs like to pick things up? also what level of area are we referring to? is this a 50 thing... say something is in Winter or 25+ like the Observatory/Anduin or just near aggressive mobs, or is everything in well traveled areas?

P_body Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Confused. Do you have to take them somewhere or put them in something (like a transmographier or something) or by just billing them in inventory you'll get a message?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implementor Volgathras Posted May 26, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hints for the current invention have been updated. No one's found the answer yet. Who will be the first to have their name immortalized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iyorvin Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well, it's done one thing for me, gave me hours upon hours of frustration at 50. I'd hate to have to wait for another hint after so much is given, but I've been working tirelessly on cross referencing these herbs, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Volgathras Posted May 27, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The final hint has been given, found in the second post on the first page. No further hints shall be provided for Blast Salts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Volgathras Posted May 27, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Congratulations to Lyria and Arthryn for discovering the secrets of Blast Powder! What's is used for? We're not yet sure. However, Archimus DOES have another project in store. Check the first page for more information! Edit: Also, now solving an invention will give you quest rewards (gold, exp, cp). Further, the issue has been remidied where more than one person can discover an invention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enethier Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I believe I know two of the four items for this new one. Exciting! Loving this invention stuff edit: 3 now that ive seen this map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
