The capsules are here!

You can find them searching inside the manor. There are some lesser ones that will drop more frequently, greater ones that will be a little rarer, and several epic ones as jackpot wins.

Over the course of the weekend, we might raffle a few for tickets and sell some for large amounts of silvers. Keep a lookout in game.

Usage:
LOOK at MY capsule - Look at the chambers inside.
PUT {sphere} [in] MY capsule - Insert a sphere inside the proper chamber.
PUSH MY capsule - Eject a sphere from inside the capsule.
TURN MY capsule - Change which chamber it is set to.
RUB MY capsule - Reveal the contents of each chamber instantly.

To answer an email (please post these sort of questions)...

Lesser ones hold 20 spheres in each chamber.
Greater ones hold 30 spheres in each chamber.
Epic ones hold 100 spheres in each chamber.

Names subject to change!

a brass and gold capsule with a glaesine dome

The brass and gold capsule is divided into two halves, with the top portion being crafted from glaesine and the bottom portion wrought from brass and gold. Through the transparent glaesine, nine chambers are exposed inside the capsule, each detailed with a miniature replica of the cities and towns across Elanthia. A glowing ring surrounds the chamber for Wehnimer's Landing currently. It appears that the capsule can hold 100 Chronomage spheres in each chamber. An enruned opening is situated between both halves of the capsule. The brass and gold capsule contains no brass and gold spheres in the Wehnimer's Landing chamber.

any chance for the capsules to be put in the gift shop for those of us who have left town and can maybe log in to buy one but not search the manor endlessly?

I drop yet another five of my rare RL $ and got the lesser capsule. Exactly what I wanted, so much more space in my locker now!

Wyrom, these capsules are amazing. I pulled a 20 and a 30 tonight and am absolutely stoked. (20-count one is for sale on the PC if anyone needs one, and I filled it completely with spheres, too.)

Thanks so much for fixing that insane inventory-management issue in a neat way.

Hi wyrom- Can you please update these to be comparable with torus's? Or make the old chronodisks make spheres? Did you see my other posts on this in the other thread? Thanks

Those are attuned, they won't work.

Can you make the torus's weigh zero? Or have the disks updated in the transportation changes? This combined with boosts just made chronodisks significantly less useful.

Im fairly frustrated by this, but that said awesome change and very cool item. I'm glad you are making continuous efforts to think outside the box and change the game for the better.

I'm not trying to frustrate you about that item. Those just aren't compatible due to being attuned to you. Changing them to create a torus that isn't attuned would be a significant change.

I'm hoping since sphere management isn't a DM specific problem, these will come out at other venues as well. As others mentioned, I'm done with what I can spend on DM.

It doesn't sound like they're intended to be highly restricted access.

Yeah I know you're not trying to frustrate Anyone wyrom and I know that this is a good intentioned change which I appreciate. And it's a a very cool/exciting change for the game as well and I think most players will like it. I still am frustrated by it though because it outdates an item that I have that used to be somewhat unique and useful. Can someone review the torus's and the chronodisks? For instance being able to bundle the torus's without weight increase and Increasing the frequency of allowable torus production would bring it back close enough to the auction quality item it used to be before the changes and this release.

Thanks for listening

I second this request, since these were intended to be auction quality items. If nothing else, it would be great if attuned toruses could be redeemed at the chronomage in exchange for a realm boost and removed from being a physical item, since they are already attuned.

Just did 70 entries during happy hour and no capsule, but found lots and lots of spheres. These should be made way less rare or opened up to purchase with tickets, at the very least.

That suggestion also would be part of a possible solution that makes sense to me. Considering the release of all the boosts and spheres and the general overhaul of transportation I think the frequency of torus production and recharge method (last charge vs. x per day) should be changed as well.

Making new system updates is no reason to not be willing to update and fix items made obsolete by unnecessary changes. Capsules were made upon request because this event produced too many chronomage spheres for players to handle, flooding the market. Owners of chronomage disks didn't cause this problem.

If we're going on the assumption that nothing of value will be fixed as a result of system changes so that things can be sold to those who didn't pay in to begin with, then people will just spend a lot less on buying the high end items that will be devalued arbitrarily at any given moment. However, that hasn't been the way Wyrom has handled things, so I'll wait for a response from him.

This might not be what you want to hear, but sometimes items get outmoded over time.

For example -- around 10 years ago I won one of the first disk changers at an auction on FWI for around 15mil. I couldn't choose the nature of the item in any way and it came with 500 charges.

A few years ago now at Ebon Gate they had raffles for a far more customizable item that changes disks for players and it never ran out of charges either.

I requested an update to my item since, in theory mine should be better if not equal -- auction quality > raffle quality.

My request was denied. Sometimes you just have to accept it and move on.

No one has denied a request except other players irrelevantly deciding it must be so. I'm awaiting an official response. Many other transportation related items were updated as a result of the transportation changes, from Ghule cloaks, to multi-setting teleport rings, so I don't see why the chronomage disk would be any different as it was because of the overall system change and the release of a quality of life upgrade item due to player demand that the capsule was even created. No capsule, no problem, so it's a perfectly legitimate request.

Hi Wyrom,

I'm just following up to see if you think your or another GM can do something about Torus's based on our request?
