The Midnight Watch

One gold per blank scroll, as many as you need!

I agree with Althy's point here. Yes, exceptional should be difficult, specially on certain things like a plate tunic or an advanced piece of weaponry, but theres a difference between difficult and ridiculous.

I already posted about this further up, but yea, I totally agree with Althy here, sure some items should be harder to craft exceptionally then others, but when you've been a smith/tailor/fletcher or what have you for half your life(uo life) and youre an accomplished crafter, you shouldn't fail quite so much. Can throw an example in here aswell, I was gonna craft a repeater crossbow for someone and ended up using nearly 1k wood just to get that one exceptional repeater crossbow (gm skill) so I should have charged like an obscene amount of gold for it to just break even.

Funny, I was just about to do that..:D

I concur with these statements, ideas...and to add something to it, you can make items max stack amount a lot less then 60k, say 5k are maximum stacksize for logs,ingots,regs and bottles and such. And maybe 1k max stacksize for gold. That way you cant have room for obscene amounts of resources/gold in the secure bank, just enough to get back on your feet if your estate is robbed blank.
Im all for realism etc, and pickable chests and homes etc, but it shouldn't get to a point where it gets tedious...say loosing all your ingots/logs that you just spent 2 hours a day for 5 days gathering. That would create a tedious, boring and repetitive action and people would loose interest sooner or later to keep replenishing stolen goods too often.

This "system" would make the very rich and greedy people the real victims, as it should be, the average joe's wouldn't get AS victimized, wich imo is a good thing.

Yea, one thing EA/OSI did wrong was not balance the theft vs secure items. Yes some items should be secure from theft because some things you work really hard for over a long period of time, would suck hard to loose stuff you've spent 2 weeks collecting in just 5 minutes. Some people don't want to handle that. But as I said the balance must be kept, what is stealable/pickable and therefor subject to theft and what is not? I for one would like to see a balance, not favourable to just one of the sides.

Im sure they could make a small prebuilt lumber cot buyable as a deed and placed where theres room, size 7x7, 3x containers etc. And that's how people start their house dream, if they want something bigger id say they should have to go through the gms, just my 2 scents.

Just like Ive already told Hoagie. Bola Balls. Make em work something like paralyze special move. We need a "constant running away" stopper. Ofcourse they should have a cooldown timer so it doesn't get silly.

Yea buff and debuff icons does that, if you drink a strength potion etc you get a buff icon, if youre poisoned/cursed you get a debuff icon etc.

Altho its not here ..yet.

Theres an antimacro code in place, makes so you can only gain 0.3 armslore per item in a given time, so if you wait say 30 minutes you may gain another 0.3 from that item, but its easier to change items, for instance as you craft.
