I'd like to greatly thank the GMs that have helped make this shop a reality. I do have a question regarding the haircombs though. Are they intended to change the hair of the wearer until the haircomb is removed? Here is what I've found. About 15 minutes ago, in game, I looked like this:

>l terr
You are Terra Meigus, Aes-Danai of Velaka, an Elf.
You have elegant arched eyebrows, pointed ears and dark eyes. Your ash-blonde hair is long and straight, and is worn in a deceptively careless-looking arrangement of upswept locks held in place by an etched elven silver oak leaf haircomb set with tiny moonstone chips. You have tanned skin.
You are tall for a Elf.
You are in good shape.

Now, without having interacted with this haircomb, I once again look like this:

You are Terra Meigus, Aes-Danai of Velaka, an Elf.
You have elegant arched eyebrows, pointed ears and dark eyes. Your ash-blonde hair is long and straight, and is worn pulled back in a ponytail. You have tanned skin.
You are tall for a Elf.
You are in good shape.

And the hairclip did not suddenly appear in my inventory look either. I still have it, because if I remove it and put it back in, it changes my description to the first. So my question is, is this a bug? If not, I don't see any problem in just removing it and putting it back in but it does not seem like that is the intended purpose.

Hope this helps if it is buggy!

Thank you, Terra. That's the reason the shopkeeper let a couple of folk redeem orders for new haircombs early, so that we could get the bugs out and limit the screamers seen by the GMs.

I've passed the report onto GM Obseden, who's working on the features system, since the problem's somewhere in the interface between the combs and features (and since I'm at work today).

I'm glad you guys like the shop, by the way - I think it's nifty (and it'll be slightly niftier in Plat and TF, since there are more verbs for some of the items being sold in the other instances).

>> These semi-custom places are A++++ would buy again.

Concur. These shops are awesome, we could use more of them. It adds a lot more variety to the items we see in-game.

The only thing that sucks is the wait time on them. Is 4-10 RL days for an item really necessary? :\

I was impressed and very pleased to see most things in the shop affordable. I made a trip to price the custom hair combs and expected to pay many times as much as what it came out to. Kudos :)

Just got back after being on hold for a while and I love this shop! However...

It needs:

regular rings as well as friendship and engagement rings

ankle-cuffs (I really wanted to get a wide piece of ankle jewelry for my prydaen today and couldn't)

tailbands (again with the prydaen)

earrings (earrings to match my soon to be pendant)

And is it intended that there is no bronze for haircombs?

Even so, I just ordered three pieces there and am now impatiently waiting out the five days until they are ready.

Hmm- Was that room consecrated? That's the only thing I can think of that might block fams- and even that is a bit iffy.


Sometimes the key to happiness is not assuming it is locked in the first place- Ziggy

A journey of a thousand SMILES begins with a single step- Ziggy

Its been that way for years and years. Never could figure out why. The pierless inn courtyard used to be no fam as well but that was fixed. That one might have been a holdover from the days of the moon mage guild residing within. Ill take a look around town as well and see if I find more places.

Since the manastorm struck, the life mana at the standard triage spot (the crate) is pretty bad. One of the better spots people have found is outside of the general store, Enfermine's Dry Goods. Can we petition the mayor of Riverhaven to move the crate and bench there? Or at least put a bucket there?

I'd like to second the request for a crate. A bench would be nice.. But we really just need some form of trash bin by the general store. It seems to be one of the more popular places in Haven, and there's always a mess.

It does keep the tourist traffic down

I would agree that the area is so underused, there are at most a few hunters in there at any time. Prolly for the sole reason of getting there can be annoying through the maze.

To enter the swamp, head eastish once you hit the maze until you get to the tree. Climb the tree, then go over to the swamp.

To leave the swamp, head westish from the tree until you get to the path.

Not just the Maze for me Mazrian, it is the:

1. Go to the altar, and do the puzzle thing.
2. RT going down.
3. Swim through the caves

The Maze is part, but geez...just a real PITA to get in and out.

Caelumia: I like that idea of doing some quest to get access to the guide.

Anyway....anything to make that place more player friendly.

Well while I would love a Cleric only access that was faster and better, I really am to the point where places that are a PITA to get into should have more readily access for folks who regularly hunt somewhere.

For fun I spoke with the stableboy...

A stableboy ponders for a moment before saying, "You know, I did hear an interesting tidbit from a customer. I heard a renowed weaponsmith mention that Kertig tears come from meteorites. He reckons that some of the fragments falling from the sky might contain some, if someone skilled decided to refine it."

A stableboy ponders for a moment before saying, "You know, I did hear an interesting tidbit from a customer. Word around Crossing is that the Traders' Guild is fed up with the increased goblin raids along the western road, and plan to do something about it. What, I don't know."

A stableboy ponders for a moment before saying, "You know, I did hear an interesting tidbit from a customer. I hear tell that the goblins west of Crossing have been increasing their attacks on travellers and caravans. What's the world coming to?"

A stableboy ponders for a moment before saying, "You know, I did hear an interesting tidbit from a customer. Segmere's been making a lot of ruckus sparring at the crate lately. Concerned citizens have been meeting at the Saltfisher Inn to avoid him."

A stableboy ponders for a moment before saying, "You know, I did hear an interesting tidbit from a customer. I heard Progeny was seen entering some old warehouse in the Crossing...I wonder what he was doing there?"

A stableboy ponders for a moment before saying, "You know, I did hear an interesting tidbit from a customer. Rumor has it that at the Raven's Court Gala to display the new art gallery, Bard Guildleader Silvyrfrost and Aguisian, the new artist-in-residence, were making eyes and casting longing glances at each other. Word is that she didn't return to the guildhall that night."
