Subject: Live Services

When we started Duskruin, we wanted to shy away from live services. But I know there is a desire for it. And most the high-end services require a live GM to run it. Over the past runs, I have done some things on top of certificate redemptions like epic deepening and adding lesser Armor and Weapon moods.

This time around, I'll try to offer some things a little differently.

We'll try to offer deepening services again. Could try lightening too. We'll also try to offer unlock services to scripted items being sold at Duskruin. If time allows it, we can do some alteration of things sold at the Scrip Shop. All these services will cost bloodscrip. On the agenda we can try using the bloodscrip raffles again too.

I won't set times or guarantees on these things, but I'll likely offer them during the week.

Hi friends,

You no longer have to TEAR dueling slips from the booklets or SHAKE the tokens out of the jars when you enter the sewers or arena. They will be deducted when you enter, just make sure to put them away before the fight begins!

Just so this is all in one place. Hope I have them all.

• We've updated jars and booklets to allow you to enter without needing to TEAR or SHAKE.
  
• Scrip pouch can now add all loose bloodscrip at once with RUMMAGE.
  
• The arena has had several QoL adjustments.
  
  • Removed the steel golem and leopard, replaced with a shaggy tusked ursian, a mithril-veined krynch, and added a banded cave worm.
    
  • Allowed normal opponents to bleed again.
    
  • Breeze is now cleaned up when entering an arena room.
    
• Totems can now be sold for a very small amount of bloodscrip to the archaeologist.
  
• Legendary bloodrune now displays the name of the person when you LOOK at them, instead of the viewer's pronoun.
  
• For clarification purposes, some information on bloodrunes.
  
  • Each Arkati, including the 3 stone giants, have a bloodrune associated with them in the Divine tier. This includes lesser and greater deities.
    
  • Classic tier currently only has 4.
    
  • The Legendary tier this time around is just the minotaur and it is exclusive to this run only. One has been found in both Prime and Platinum, but only Prime has created it.

I've been getting a lot of requests for another sale on booklets and jars, and I previously thought we'd not run another sale this time around. But for today only, starting at 2pm ET, we'll have the 50-count booklets and jars at 10% off. This sale will last until 10pm ET tonight.

Good luck and have fun at Duskruin!

>>Can we get the 125 scrip average of the sewers in case of disconnecting in the arena? There should be no argument against this since if this happens, you already forfeit your package item and there are no bloodrunes or moonshards in the arena. Then you have to suffer listening to the announcer again for another 60 seconds+.

Okay. Logoffs and disconnects in the arena now award 125 bloodscrip.

You can now SHOUT during the introduction to speed it up and get on with the show. I'll add something in about SHOUT with the arena guard when you're escorted into the sands.

I was quickly reminded why 125 wouldn't work. The total has been adjusted to 100 bloodscrip for a logoff or a disconnect. This is now the least you can gain in the arena as well if you lose.

Messaging in the arena has been adjusted appropriately.

Sorry for the change-a-roo!

>>yeah, it would have been easier for sewer runners to just disconnect in the Arena to make the max scrip for a sewer run. No items.. but then again some sewer runners don't care about that.

Yeah, there are a few issues with going to the sewer average. I wasn't thinking about it too heavily and was like, "125, sure!" But yeah. I feel 100 is a good compromise.

If you've had some disconnects this run (and this run only) and would like to be compensated for the difference, email me. I'm going to need dates (exact) and times (ballpark) so I can just go through the logs to confirm.

Subject: 250 bloodscript achievement variables

The exact formula hasn't been released, but the variables were never a secret. So here you go!

Scoring branches off depending on a number of factors. Winning is beating all 25 creatures. If you win, you get a time bonus for how much time is left on the clock. If you lose, you get a showman bonus for how long you lasted with a single creature. This has a capped bonus so lasting on creature one won't get you more than the cap and killing everything too quickly won't get you a big bonus.

You get points for dodging the traps in the arena, again this is capped, so you can't just dodge traps to earn max bloodscrip.

If you surrender, you lose any time, showman, or dodging bonuses.

Dying doesn't give a scoring penalty, but you can lose your spells without deeds and you there is a time factor to slow you down some.

Winning gives you points.

Finally, you earn points based on all creatures killed. There is no cap, meaning every creature counts.

That is it.

Subject: Disconnects

Winning should always be the best in terms of bloodscrip amounts. Due to the bug existing for 5 runs (May, July, August of 2015 and April and August of 2016), I might change how the showman formula should work. But it's working as intended right now. I'll take a look at it a little later today.

And just to answer a concern, nothing at all was changed with creature difficulty. That hasn't been changed at all in a long time.

Subject: Arena Scoring Update

Okay, after fixing the bug that was causing end creatures to scale oddly with the score, I wasn't happy with the result. While it should never make sense to lose the arena to earn more bloodscrip, the difference between getting to creature 24 and winning shouldn't be that great.

After I stare at the formula some more, I'll be rolling this change into the live instances tomorrow sometime in the late morning/early afternoon.

So what does this change mean?

Well the "showman" bonus as we know it is going out the window. The idea about this bonus was if you had an incredible hard time in the arena, but could last until the timer was up, you should get rewarded. This was to offer an incentive to lower level characters in the scoring model. A sort of handicap. But this was when the minimum bloodscrip earned was 50. Since we increased this to 100, this bonus isn't really working as intended anymore. And to top it off, anyone who would benefit from it is no longer seeing it due to the 100 bloodscrip minimum.

Instead it will be broken down into 4 parts.

• If you win, you will earn a flat bonus for defeating 5 champions and a time bonus. This is similar to how it currently is. Most everyone will see an uptick in scoring here.
• If you run out of time, you will be evaluated on how many champions you killed. This is an uptick for people making it to the last 5 opponents.
• If you die, your score will be evaluated and take how long you lasted as well as how many creatures you vanquished. This mostly resembles the old "showman" bonus. People making it to the last opponent and dying will see an uptick in scoring, as will people who can't kill much but last a long time before getting whacked.
• If you surrender, you will no longer lose the dodging trap bonus you receive. Surrendering penalties were put in place due to potential abuse, but given both the minimum earned being increased and the time factor required to get a large dodging bonus, this penalty is no longer warranted.

Nothing is changing to how many bloodscrip earned per kill, the winning bonus, or how the dodging bonus are calculated.

So again, I'll roll this in after some final checks tomorrow after a night's rest and a few cups of coffee.

I'll also have a fix for spells not dropping without deeds. Stock up.

Quick correction/addendum on that listing of the expensive wants.

>>Rod - 1x - Prismatic Guard (12,500)
>>Wand - 1x - Arcane Decoy (12,500)
>>Baton - 1x - Mystic Focus (12,500)

These are actually multi-wands. They cast several spells at once. The spells listed at the first spell in the list, which caused the misunderstanding.

Enruned witchwood rod: 507, 508, 905
Sigil-encised wand: 1705, 1712, 1701
Heavy crystal baton: 1720, 1711

That's what they cast, once a day. Same as last time, didn't change.

The open weighting, padding, and TD are 10 points.

Things that didn't sell last time are making a comeback due to how the shop went last time. People didn't have time to do anything in the chaos.

I'll be there for the shop opening. If people go nuts, it will likely be a madhouse again. We'll see!

>>So our pickaxes we had left over are worthless? or can they be used at the next digging? I could have sworn a previous post I will look it up said that when duskruin opened up next we could dig and try and get the last remaining prizes but no more pickaxes would be available?

The Dig will be open again, just not here. We didn't load up the feeders or anything. It's closed for your own good. You'd just be throwing away your chances at anything decent.

>>I just want to confirm this. The last time they were all 5 points not 10.

Correct.

>>The argument here is the high end stuff HAS always been available a week after it opens to allow folks to collect bloodscrip and purchase items.

Actually, the first time we ever offered anything high end, we opened it the first weekend and last weekend.

I need to keep it open though for the duration of the event. That's the intent of the shop.

>>I'd like to see a returner script option and the option to apply unusual flares to a weapon. You could have an "open" flare (ie, you choose the flare upon applying the certificate) or have different certificates for different flare types.

Right now, adding more certificates isn't in the cards. I'd prefer to do something that is more automated here. Adding the returner ability isn't something I can get pushed through at this time.

>>I know this topic is a bit beaten to death regarding prices for specific items, but the enchant potions really don't make much sense. The value of the bloodscrip compared to the value of premium points in the current market is probably the best way to determine a good starting price for items.

If it helps sway the purchase power of these potions, they are also 40 pours. So that's 4 enchants if all goes well.

>>Also, can you explain what a Branding Iron does that is so special to make it worth 100,000 BS?

Whoops, the branding iron actually isn't going to be on sale. Copy/paste fail.

Alright everyone. We have some additions to the High-end Scrip Shop. All of these items are on the long wooden table other than the weapon, which is on the wooden weapon rack.

We added the following x/day items at a base price of 20,000 bloodscrip. Item descriptions will be coming.

Higher Vision/1610 - 4x/day
Premonition/1220 - 2x/day
Zealot/1617 - 3x/day
Crusade/1618 - 3x/day

We added a folded black canvas tent (auction quality) for 50,000 bloodscrip.

We added a colossal drakar greataxe with a circular blade (6x, greater elemental fire flares) for 20,000 bloodscrip.

Pricing for the enchanting potions are now 60,000, 80,000, and 100,000. They have 40 doses in each.

I know there were a lot of suggestions and requests. This will be the final listing.

>>tent?

a folded black canvas tent

a wide black canvas tent flying a crimson pennant

[Champion's Respite]
Made of heavy black canvas, the walls block much of the light and sounds coming from outside. Veniom-enforced steel framework holds the canvas aloft, jointed to allow for quick set up and take down. Plush black furs are spread out across the floor.

>>Ithziri flare unlocking?

No, just things sold at Duskruin.

>>All those paladin spells: any chance you could slip 1609 in there?

Spell list is final for now. We have a list for next time (or the Dig).

>>But is there any chance you can add some perm-gold ring teleport items of the lower end rarity? Maybe 1-3 slots? 150k bs is a bit out of my league and 12-setting is way more then I'd need.

They were sold in 2015 and at the bloodscrip draining event earlier this year. This is another thing that will have to wait for a future run or at the Dig.

>>What about selling bloodshards to the Archaeologist, will there be a way to sell a container or bulk sell them ?

Moonshards and stones have to be sold one at a time.

>>Pretty please ... could we get one message with one list of all the correct and complete SuperScripShop info? Because ... so. many. messages.

The wiki has a great listing, as Allereli pointed out.

>>Is there any actual ceiling as to what can be made at Duskruin, or has this event pretty much done away with the decades of limitations on making gear? Is there a cap to how much padding or weighting a set or armor or weapon can actually have or should we all be shooting for the moon at this point? It just seems odd to me that for the last 25 years, no matter how much coin you managed to hunt actually playing the real day to day game, there was limitations in place on how much or how often you could advance your gear. Now, as it seems, especially with no end in sight for Duskruin, all you have to do is throw a hand full of money down on the table twice a year and spend 6 days running a script, and everyone is going to be walking around dressed like kings.

Actually, most the heavier restrictions that most everyone is aware of comes from the era between 2001 to about 2009 with it getting more reined in as we get closer to 2009. We've loosened a lot while changed things over the years. Yes, Duskruin offers some things that you never really could grasp in the recent past. RtCF/CCF did too. The bloodscrip pricing on a lot of these services typically gate anyone from being able to grow their gear too fast still. We are simply responding to demand with services.

As for the scripting, people are typically there or responsive. We've only busted a very small handful of people since the first run of Duskruin.

>>Don't anyone tell Warden! We're finally having fun!

I actually joke about the ghost of Warden haunting me.

Subject: Small Request and Clarification

>>1) Is there still a 1 service limit per item?

Yes, same rules as last time. One service per item, but you can buy as much as you want and apply it to multiple items. There is a deadline to redeem of 9/12. If we run into issues, extensions can be made, but you have to make the effort to get in touch with me prior.

>>2) Is it possible you can remove functional scripts if we buy a service? Such as buying +10 weighting and you will remove flares or fusion on the item. Or +10 weighting and remove permbless. Etc.

It will be case-by-case situations. Stripping flares from metals like drakar, rhimar, etc is obviously a no go. But just plain properties that aren't tied to the item or metal, sure.

Subject: Weekend Events?

>>Are there any weekend events or additional inventory planned to drain scrip? It seems like the price of scrip is falling fast due to a number of reasons (e.g., lots of recycled items, the addition of a scrip exchanger pulling out the previously redeemed scrip, and the possibility that scrip shop items will have another sale in the future). If not, I am tempted to pin my hopes on next year's inventory and may not focus on accumulating more scrip /tickets this weekend. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I'm going to do some raffles for bloodscrip. I won't be adding new inventory to shops though.

The Scrip Shop will not have a sale on prices ever. The fusion armor and greater elemental flaring weapons will likely be pulled for good after this run. A number of items on the table will also be going for good this time. The spider bag and locksmith bracer are just something for this run. And the certificates will be reviewed after Duskruin.

>>Re: Attuned items for cheaper prices.

I see this comment fairly often and I try to address it each time I see it, but attuned gear does not mean more sold or cheaper prices. Attuning has a couple purposes. Limited, character-defining items to add immersion or power by either exclusivity or RP purposes is the main factor for attunement. The other purpose is if we want to lock the item for whatever reason to a character or account. This was mostly done when we didn't want to see a secondary (cash/silver) market happening. This reason isn't very common, because we know a healthy player economy is important.

Duskruin doesn't really support the idea of attuned. We'd not offer anything cheaper or in higher quantity due to attunement.

>>What is going to be the tax for using this service?

It's 1% rounding down with a minimum of 1 bloodscrip. It's an all or nothing exchange.

>>Also, are bloodrunes going to be able to turned in for scrip?

Not bloodrunes, but the stones to make bloodrunes can be purchased by the archaeologist.

>>Can we get a list of what bloodrunes are the rarer ones so we don't do something stupid and exchange them? Or will there be a way to look at them and tell?

You can't sell a bloodrune once made. But you could technically sell the stone. There is some discovery required for this. The archaeologist will talk about them if you GIVE them to him. We'll monitor it to see how it's being handled. I just suggest people read the text that appears on the screen when dealing with these.

The legendary bloodrune is exclusive to this run only. And it's crazy rare.

There are 3 tiers released this time around. Classic, Divine, and Legendary. Classic are the most common. Divine are a bit more rare. And Legendary is rarer than a segment. The Legendary one this time around is an exclusive find at this run only. You become the minotaur that the artwork is based on.
