A pack of hungry bahamets are here.

Think Good thing I'm smart enough to toss torches into darkened areas.

this harkens unto a want, to be able to see from a dark room into a light, but not the other way around.

[musashi]

I thought that was already the case for rooms that are dark at least. If you're in an outdoor room for example, and you "look in cave" or something like that, if it's dark inside, you get told it's dark inside.

I'd like for this to extend to weather though. Like ... it's weird to me that if I am one room north of a huge sandstorm and I look south I can see for 3 rooms. But if I walk south then try to look north I can only see for 1 room.

I'd rather looking south give me just 1 room along with some kind of "there's a big storm there obscuring your vision" the same way that the code would tell you "it's completely dark over there".

Yea, yea, you must of missed my point, it was simply to look into a lite room while standing in a dark room, with out it making it possible to do it in reverse as well.

[musashi]

Oh you can't be in a dark room and look out into a lit one? I thought you could.

Spooked by the fire, a pack of raging behamets runs in from the east, trampling you.

think Why, oh why, did I toss that torch!?

Welcome to Armageddon!

Pretty sure when you are in a dark room, if you try to look anywhere, you get the darkness message.

This code would be pretty awesome to implement, though. C'mon Morgenes! Toss!

Making poles to be part of spear making, it's such a let down to think that a spear-maker had no clue how to fashion a stick to attach a spearhead too.

[Kismetic]

wish I could assess weapons/items when held

This.  And also, use count in containers you're wearing.  And pretty much any other restriction that works in 'inventory,' 'room' and 'target,' but can't be used on items worn by the self.

Yes x1000000

Making poles to be part of spear making, it's such a let down to think that a spear-maker had no clue how to fashion a stick to attach a spearhead too.

Pole recipes, as they are currently coded, consist of cutting raw timber into multiple, straight shafts. This certainly seems like the trade of a lumberjack or woodworker.

However, I would think that a skilled spearmaker should be able to shape spear hafts individually from certain long bones and branches.

[Saellyn]

Talking mounts.

Tiredly, an Inix exclaims, in sirihish:
     "... Get your fat arse off me!

Confused, you ask and Inix, in sirihish:
     "Did you just say something?"

[musashi]

Inix are wonderful listeners.

Yeah... Making a pole out of a log makes alot've sense for a SPEAR MAKER.

Last I checked, it wasn't "spear HEAD maker".

Make friends with a lumberjack.  Problem solved.  Crafting does not need to be an insular activity even if it usually is.

[maxid]

Crafting does not need to be an insular activity even if it usually is.

As much as that's true, it makes it no less silly that a spearcrafter can't make a spear haft.

[Majikal]

more crude looking weapons, less beautiful and etched stuff and more shard of rock tied to a stick, jagged piece of bone wrapped with leather.

[X-D]

Oh hey, I can make a finely crafted spearhead long as your arm from this obsidian, and another from this bone, and another from this shell...but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to take this six foot long branch and turn it into a spear shaft..or this nice long bone of the perfect width...But hey, if you come up with a  pole, I can smooth it down, engrave the entire length and carve a sharp point on it...What, that branch which is the same size and everything...um, no.

That is like a fletcher who can only make arrowheads, or the tailor that can only sew...no cutting allowed.

[Marc]

You can apply the same logic to lumberjacking in total.  Why can't my extremely wise human not learn to cut a plank from a log over the course of a lifetime.  Hell, you can almost apply it to any mundane skill.

I know it's a RTW and thats cool and specifically to spears, sure, why not?  I don't see a problem that is not entirely dwarfed by the armorcrafting subguild.  That said there are other examples of crafting recipes that need two skills not available from the same sub guild to make AND spear recipes that do not need poles (albeit not a whole hell of a ton that I know of).

To sum up:  Cool!  but you could always meet a friend/partner/merchant to get poles too.  trade is another form of interaction and on EVE online trade is PVP!

[X-D]

Cepting that the ones who can make poles tend to be rather rare.


And the spears that do not require them number what...3? And at least one of them is a clan item.

Lumberjacks get to do everything they need to do to go with the skills/sub Including many things far beyond what you would expect comparable to the number of things an armorcrafter can do...and sure, an armorcrafter has 1 item he can make that requires a lumberjack or merchant and even that item has More versions that do not require them then do, meanwhile the spearcrafting skill has maybe 2 items that do NOT require them.

AND, all other crafting skills are mostly self supporting, and the ones that are not, the subs come with the supporting skill. But even a weaponscrafter does not come with the supporting skill to make spears.


And as somebody said, the skill is called Spearcrafting...Not Spearhead making.


And no Marc, it does not apply, If your PC has the lumberjacking skill, he can process wood, far beyond even the cutting and making of planks and poles, If your PC has the spearmaking skill He can make spearheads. If your PC has neither skill then he cannot do either, big deal, that part is the way this game works.

And to be honest, if you want to pull the, "find a lumberjack" card then limit that sub to cutting trees down and making planks, poles, blocks and no carving or furniture etc, then at least there would be a glut of poles and planks for the other PCs with the need. As it sits, the moment a lumberjack gets to where he can craft other higher priced and useful items, getting poles out of them is like asking a templar to clean vomit.
