Virtue stone

[Torque]

Anyone else wondering what virtue stone is or how to get some?

[Sully]

They are aparently for repairing magic weapons. They don't spawn on any loots so I think I might spawn one a day on a random monster.

when u item ID a magic weapon it says its made from iron ingots and virtue stones

when u try and repair a magic weapon it says u have no virtue stones! it'd be nice if we could smelt down ruin weapons in order to repair the good magic weapons, or have virtue stones as loot / reward for quests or whatever

Just another reason why staff should not have mortals. I wonder who the first are gonna be to get these virtue stones when u start doing that?

Hmm sully's mortal char is a trader, fat load of use he is going to have for magic weapons :rolling:

[Clown]

lol Beast once again u accept ignorance in exchange for suckin staff as.s.

AND I BET SULLY IS THE ONLY STAFF MEMBER RIGHT FOCKER?

[Farthrex]

sullys mortal is a smith

smiths fix weapons

i guarentee that you will need GM smith to fix magic weapons

sully is a GM smith

sully sets the virtue stone spawn

sully needs the virture stone to fix magic weapons


see where im going here?

[spookeh]

i see exactly where u are going farth, but the problem is between the staff, we have GM'd a lot of the skills.
so if we add something, and give it a skill requirement, as is reasonable, then ppl can say "omg they made fishing better, but spooky is a gm fisher!!!"

and u could replace fishing with any skill, that one of the staff have gm'd.
you see where im going with that?
never mind that it might make the shard better, or there are other gm fishermen, or that the skill might need it, or whatever, it must be because we're bent

anyway, if we added virtue stones we would not keep them secret. and sully is far from the only gm smith


i mean honestly, all i wanted was a way (for all players) to repair magic weapons and look what u get accused of.... :P

[Clown]

im a gm fisherman

[spookeh]

it was an example

"Hmm sully's mortal char is a trader, fat load of use he is going to have for magic weapons"
Lets have a little think about this. The stones would most likely be on hard monsters like balrons. How do you suppose sully can kill one with his trader char? say nasty things at it and hope it commits suicide as a result? :rolleyes: You don't mine virtue stones from the ground. SO why would he want magic weapons then, if he is a trader? money? thats all trivial IMO, as warriors get a far greater supply of magic weapons, one lowly trader is not going to be able to compete. So where does that lead the gm smith? They can repair weapons, yes, but they would not be repairing their own weapons, they would be repairing other people's weapons. Hense people will be selling the virtue stones to the traders, not so benificial to the trader is it now?
Clown, you say that I am over-supportive of the gms, yet you would not hesitate to flame them to oblivion on the slightest chance they look like they are abusing their gm powers. Its a game, what fun is a game if you cheat at it?
I have been here a lot longer than you, and the only one who ever did abuse gm powers as I have seen was Giit, who was a total peice of ham-and-cheese anyway. Guess what happened to him? He got found out, and permanently banned, player account, gm account and so on.
Give it a break man, without the gms you wouldnt even be here on lothlo, would you?

[Farthrex]

Come on beast, you have to admit you do alot of brown nosing :P

And spook I get what you're saying, I just wanted to prove Clowns point without all the flame.

BTW Beast, a 40 mage can kill nearly every monster with a bit of patience and a fast connection. Smithrex can own half the npcs on the shard.

Of course i would not hesitate to flame them if they look like they are abusing their powers, anyone who cares about their shard should be concerned about staff cheating. Im not so naive as to think it doesnt happen. Staff corruption happens on every shard and by being suspicious at least u are doing something to try and prevent it.

Also, please take your nose out of the staffs a$$ and read what im saying. If a gm spawns these stones on a monster, any other GM who does have fighting skills could go kill that monster. Please try to see through your thick mask of a$$ licking and understand what im saying.

I think beast just got told, ya beast jus got pwned by Clown n Farthrex, n as far as i k'n see theys from DsB...

..next time you want to go routing aroun'n peoples business Beast, you make sure they not from DsB or you look like a bltch once again.

N' I think tha this shard needs sumoe black folk playin, we know how to run up in this shlt...you need me to have my acct back, and so do i

[Torque]

HEY MOM...look what i started :)

[Torque]

Guys lets not get too excited here over nothing...has anyone noticed sully hasnt bothered to reply to any of this???

I'll tell u why...he said that he will ---- spawn some virtue stone on a RANDOM monster once a day ---- now to me thats pretty self explainatory.. Random means that each monster has an equal chance of obtaining the loot as any other. Meaning that sully (mortal) has no way of knowing which monster has obtained the stone for that particular day.

Of course if it was spawned on a random type of monster then that would be a different story as that would give him an advantage over the averge person that didnt even know about virtue stone...i hope everyone can see my point

[Torque]

*If it was spawned randomly on a specific type of monster.........sorry im sleepy

[Clown]

That would take scripting and he cant script so no, he meant he would pick the monster.

[Torque]

ok you have a point clown but what if he meant he would spawn it randomly once a day on every monster...or just the ones that drop magical weapons...now that would make sence if the monsters that dropped magical weapons also dropped virtue stone.

In any case its not gunna take long before everyone finds out which monster is dropping virtue stone so really its not an issue...i can see wh yu guys are so defensive about this and i have seen what GM corrution has done to other shards before but i dont seriously think this shard has a problem with this...they are all to busy creating a new world for u to worry about different ways to be bigger and better and faster.

[Sully]

I just want to make the virtue stones available to the players. If someone got one for me, what would be the profit for me anyways. If you know me at all you'd know that i do repairs for FREE. And on top of that, if you knew me you'd know I am one of the most trustworthy people on the shard.

If you want to continue with the flaming I won't make these available to anyone. And those who get a damaged magical weapon will be totally screwed. Happy now?

[Clown]

Don't get all offended, i wasnt trying to personally insult u sully. Im saying it wouldnt be fair for a gm to place the gem on a monster cause he would know which one its on. nm i dont have time now to talk bout this.
