Applicable BYOND Key - Sennaloves
Character Name - Yui Yamamoto
Request Type - Unique Weapon (Cast tool)
Request Details -  Yui is using what's called a possessed animated weapon (Similar to the animated sword monster mobs). A weapon built with features and so on for a spirit (Haunted soul) to take control of. The weapon is mainly used as a casting tool for the young lad's Hexer magic, helps him combat other spirits or empowers his hex magic ICly. While the weapon itself can be considered 'alive' due to the following above, it can't perform any major activities (Such as hurting people on its own) as well as it can't 'survive' too far away from Yui. 

• Mini Player Made Event: Due to what was shown in Roleplay & Lore, I do plan on having mini-events to match. Indeed, due to their weak spiritual resistance, I'll allow the Staff to also be able to possess them if they're not careful (Via using Death Knighting).
  
• Of course, this will be running with people who wish to take part in it and not force whoever isn't.
  

• Lore: I'm more working off the Ritual scrolls, animated sword mobs, and the enchantment Haunted souls.
  
• Roleplay: The character is supposed to be an exorcist (Duo with him and his sister), but due to his weak spiritual endurance as well as presence, he was given the possessed staff. The staff was made to combat spirits as well as aid him with magic (Cast tools). While it does aid him in the cause, it looks for the time to strike and possess his body, and it's strong magical capability. To make use of the strength the lad refuses to utilize.
  
• Further details into the reason for the staff. They belong to a family of Shrine maidens and exorcists. To maintain this family tradition, his father spends years of his life studying hex magic and creating this animated Staff with the aid of his comrades in Karaten. While his father assumes the Staff will mainly help the lad with the family's career, he's unaware of the repercussions of doing so.
  

I've noticed a trend with recent 10 stars that seem to be meant for basic attacking, or at least they have on hit/on crit effects or the like. They typically have at minimum 90 base accuracy and 5-10 base crit. Things such as Buzzing Chakram, Deadclaw (85 accuracy, but 10 crit), Mirror Spear... even Eternal Solitude has 90 accuracy and 5 base crit. Going back even further you have weapons like Tarnada and Anchor Edge with very optimized stats for basics in 95 base accuracy and 10 base crit. 

So, my suggestion is making Gigantys base 90-95 accuracy, and perhaps even 5-10 base crit. The weapon already suffers hit penalties in exchange for its power potential, so I think letting it start at higher base accuracy is more than fair.

This is pretty much just a walk of shame for me, honestly, considering that I thought I tested some of this thoroughly and it turns out I haven't done as well as I hoped.
At any rate, this is likely from a while back, but a decent chunk of recipes aren't functioning the way they're supposed to. Some exist as duplicates of other recipes, while others simply don't exist at all. This may not be a complete list, as I don't know every single recipe by heart, but I will attempt to cover it as thoroughly as I can.

1. Base recipes:

The base recipes (in other words, the ones that exist without any additional recipe cards or recipe books used) are mostly accurate, though there are a few issues with it from what I can see:

• Enchantment: Tannin - Requires a Heart of Leviathan instead of a Heart of Tannin.
  
• Pumpkin Pie - There are two versions of this recipe - one that's the intended one, and another that is made with two wraps of poultry and a phial of salt. I can't recall off the top of my head what that recipe is supposed to be at the moment, however.
  

• Recipe Card: Piercing Blade -> Balanced Blade
  
• Recipe Card: Balanced Blade -> Piercing Blade
  
• Recipe Card: Sturdy Guard -> nothing*
  
• Recipe Card: Helix Pole -> nothing
  
• Recipe Card: Curved Pole -> Helix Pole*
  
• Recipe Card: Elongated Knuckles -> Dense Knuckles**
  
• Recipe Card: Thin Body -> Standard Body**
  
• Recipe Card: Wide Barrel -> nothing
  
• Recipe Card: Sniper Barrel -> Wide Barrel*
  

• Mage's Manifest on Gis: The Embroidered Elementalist's Gi is simply written as "Elementalist's Gi", so it just looks like a duplicate as a result.
  
• Subtext on Staves: The Staff of Miracle recipe doesn't exist, in it's place is a duplicate of the Staff of Forging with different requirements.
  

Applicable BYOND Key - Drezdongle
Character Name - Kitari, Arashi/Leonidas Rom Philopator
Request Type - General Invention for public use.
Request Details -  Considering current lore and a general lack of understanding as to how Void is detected I wish to have my character with use of resources at hand as a Minor Noble. Develop a device that measures the presence of Void.  Specifically two versions of the same device. 

Details are as follows, they are two devices made up of conduiz, and other alloys that facilitate casting. Powered by a focus tuning crystal that acts like a battery, it puts out small pulses of focus that increase when Void Pollution is present.  The more void pollution, the more focus is drained from the focus tuning crystal at a rapid rate. A ticking sound will ramp up with a meter measuring Void Pollution in Voightgins.  

1. The standard Handheld Device is the R.V.D-HD.  Meant for measuring surface level pollution and Sentient Creatures exposed to void. It can be attached to the belt, and or held in the hand. Its focus crystals can last up to an hour in a non-void polluted zone.  And up to fifteen minutes in a heavily compromised one. Typically has a range of 10 meters. 

2. The Heavier Version meant to be attached to ships or Wagons is called the R.V.D-MD.  Typically mounted to the bow of shipping vessels. The expensive crystals and focus sources that power the device can last up to a month per charge in unpolluted zones.  Meant to detect residual pollution as a means to redirect ships from Dark Zones on the high seas, it can detect Void Pollution from three kilometers away.  

Devices can be prone to tampering by talented mages, and can have varying effects on rune-casting. 

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I want to develop a device that people can use in their fluff, or apply when in void related situations. Scientists, Archeologists, etc. It would also mean that my character could have a patent and a regular source of income from the use of said device. 
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Arashi as a minor noble runs a trading company that uses the profits from leasing out their shipping lanes, and customs works in Port Alpha to run Archaeological sites and operations in Gold. With the risk of some of these ancient ruins and locales having been exposed to Void Pollution after the curse, or having turned into Dark Zones over the last few decades. 

Arashi and his associates set upon developing a device that could detect Void Pollution, allowing their research and Preservation of Onigan Culture to go forward unhindered. The development would also make sense for their since it allows his shipping vessels to travel between Gold and the other continents at a significantly lower risk of accidentally running into a Dark Zone on the high seas, and allows them to sell the device to others who could use it for a profit. 

Lorewise considering devices like the Railgan shooting bots being able to exert that much focus, and that Void eats focus.  The logic for such a device to exist is there within what lore is available.

https://gyazo.com/8ea4dbc348684d63fed27386602e834e These are my stats with the sanguine crest buff active.

https://gyazo.com/e7af22953e12d18f1af46d602c5e77c9 These are my stats without it. The only change is the 3 luck, which was because of my Amiras prayer. Other than that there is absolutely no change to my stats with sanguine crest active.

So, I don't know what triggers this or why it happens, but when I try to ascend Seiryuu, it says I don't have enough Black Pearls even though I do.

Applicable BYOND Key - Golden Kira

Character Name - Kaen

Request Type - Character Ability

Request Details - Hello hello, I'm here looking to get my character approved to begin his study and adventure, into that of Necromancy. To start into the lore dive and get a foothold into the depths that surround it.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - My character that I'm requesting this ability for, has in character reasons to seek out this power. As well as the background history, and his homeland to give him starting lead into the art.


Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Kaen is a man that has been surrounded by two truths in his life. One is that the world is what you make of it. If you have the means to do something, then the world will support you. The second truth came after he was adopted by his father. Power is the key to all your problems. These concepts have shaped the character into a seeker of knowledge and collector of ability that revolves around his skill set.

That said, when he was a child, he lost important people to him by unnatural causes. Which led to his adoption into the Philiopator family. Through their money, he was given a good education in both the family trade, basic studies, and as well in the arcane. Which led him to the trail of Necromancy, as he took more and more interest with the Loyrwell Tomb's situation. From there, I'd like to start off his steps into these dark arts. I've gained the Necromancer's Staff Icly on my character, and I also have been looking into it's properties as a major tool for the skill.


The character's drive to begin learning this art, is to never lose someone ever again. Even if it's a tad morbid..

Applicable BYOND Key - Jin The Green
Character Name - Reiji Yamamoto
Request Type - Character Ability (Creation of a specific kind of casting tool)
Request Details -  Reiji is an Evoker, Boxer who has a gloves that function as a tome, allowing him to 'punch his spells'.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - Mostly just to cover my ass. Magic punches aren't too far fetched to me, but they might be to some.
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - The gloves would have been made custom in Karaten, for this particular style. I imagine there would be a niche market for similar mages, largely fire mages, who like to get up close and personal with their foes.

Description of bug: Certain lighting fixtures in furniture will not turn back on after being left clicked. Even when the only person in the home is the house owner, or someone with build permissions. 

So far the confirmed pieces of furniture are as follows: Tall Lamp, Table Lamp, Mounted Wall Lamp. 


How to replicate: 

1. Put Light Fixture in house.
2. Turn them on and off a few times.
3. After server reboots, or at random they will no longer produce light sources. Or be capable of being turned on.

Hey hey, all.

I'll be keeping today's post as succinct as I can given the topic is pretty simple.

I feel that a perennial issue of SL2 is that some rather vital information is hidden in sometimes hard to reach places.

The three most egregious examples of this in my opinion would be the role quotas for role-holders requiring them to enter the reputation panel and then clicking on the 'manage' button. The hard to discover nature of one's weapon durability outside of a battle and who is the leader of a party at any particular moment.

These problems thankfully have easy fixes, such as having the player cards in the top left display weapon durability and having a border around the player card that is indicative of leadership. One could even add an option to change the colour of the leadership border if they wish.

The quota can also just be duplicated and shown in the reputation screen, given information about roles is already there.

I have attached a few haphazard edits I made to several screenshots I took in game that illustrate my point





I imagine these changes would be very low-effort to implement and would enliven and streamline party dungeoning, solo-dungeon as well as the fulfillment of quotas, dramatically increasing people's overall experience of the game. If anyone has any other ideas for information that could be more easily accessed in game, I wholeheartedly welcome you to post and contribute
