Here's my suggestion for NEXT Ebon Gate, a Post Office at Evermore Hollow.

What's yours?

🙂

tardy plinth
#

...lapidary boxes and unlock certs, at least for T2.
ETA: Update analyze to list all the patterns on a lapidary box, and add a quiet toggle so you can choose to not have everyone in the room watch you spin the patterns.

Games later in the evening on week nights. Fishing prize refresh. Drinks at the hotel bar

jovial matrix
#

Unlock certs for Trrix containers (capacity for certain, general tier if possible, location hopefully)! Games earlier in the evening on weeknights (maybe two sets of each game, one earlier and one later).

Live games are always going to be inconvenient to someone. As much as I would love to go to all of them, I appreciate that they've been across day and night so I could go to two.

I'd like to see an activity that you can do any time, day or night so there are people, and there is a reason to be, on the EG grounds. It used to be digging w/ a games pass. The grounds have felt empty (which is understandable) w/o an activity that you can do leisurely. I imagine it will pick up starting tomorrow but it would be cool to have an activity available for the month (That doesn't cost simucoins.)

I just wanted to give a fast suggestion/idea for EG next year. Maybe some holloween decorations for private home owners. Maybe they can be on the affordable side and expire after halloween is over and poof on their own. Like a skeleton sitting in a chair and when someone approaches your front door it stands up and does an evil laugh and its eyes go red, and then sits back down. Scarecrows you can stick in your yard or garden. Maybe some things you can hang on your front door like a mural of a witch or ghoul or something. Just decorations in general. Maybe this already exists, I dunno.

I can also envision real in-game trick or treating. All owners who wish to participate submit their entry. Maybe build some kind of portal where players visit houses more easily that are in different zones. They knock on doors, get tricks or treats.

I'd like knitting patterns with holiday themes? Halloween, Christmas, stuffed spooky ghost, jack -o -lanterns, and cooking fruitcake, Halloween cookies we could make

Halloween and Christmas are OOG.

Given RL stuff it’s been tough for me to get in front of any merchants this year. This has happened to me during a few festivals in the past. I bought a service pass primarily so I could enter the raffles and such. It would be cool if at the end of merchant week, people who had fewer (or zero) services done got a little bonus - like an extra exp orb or something upon tearing their pass. Just a little consolation prize

tardy plinth
meager zenith
#

Yeah I mean a bit of an extra. So maybe a bonus blue orb in addition for folks who don’t use the pass for actual services. Doesn’t need to be anything big, just a little something to make us feel like winners too 🙂

Would love to see some old shops or items from the Feyrot Mire days make a return. Perhaps 1 or 2 old shops each year could return and then the following year be replaced by 1 or 2 old shops. So many things have been lost to cancelled accounts...
Also, can we see a return of Ezza hats and toppers?

I'd love to see a shop that sold old EG fishing spell preps. There were many I wish I had kept extra of now that we have a better management system for them.

Random suggestion for the (traveling) cobbler from a pair of cobblers: Now that we have market stalls which are kinda like little portable shops, it would be great to have portable cobbling benches, possibly with some customizations on the form and table, maybe if it was possible some customization of the action of making the shoes as well. Worktable, form, all folded up into a case carved with a shoe or the cobbler's hallmark (or a shortened variation of it) so we're not going "oh god what case is this now in my locker?" Mini rack on the worktable when it's set up, storage on said rack only viable when the worktable is set up. Have it set up to be used AT FEET only so there's no struggle with a timer to refresh on it being out/you don't risk leaving your workshop out to take up space or lose it.

I would very very much like it if this were a market stall kind of thing where it's available to anyone who wants one rather than an auction item.

fervent kite
#

My biggest complaint about cobbling, especially while working up to Master: so much time ALONE in a workshop unable to talk with people. Even if it has location restrictions like the stalls, being able to set up at an inn table or in one of my gardens would be so nice

tardy plinth

Cobbling could join the crafting parties.

would like to see an NPC that gives simple alterations. something a little more advanced than what dye can do. like it would sense whatever noun and material it is and start off with that and then let you pick from a pre definded list of maybe 10 or 20 different options. (option) (material) (noun)

#

got a bunch of stuff in my locker and dread having hunt down alterers and wait in lines

remote flame
#

Any merchant can do this for you, Gob.

#

Oh, this is one of those wonky moments...

#

You mean NPC as in --an automated thing... not as in a GM character.

open yew
#

yes, I should have clarified
something where ppl can do alterations in bulk

remote flame
#

No, its okay, my brain and fingers are out of synch. If I'd spent a few more minutes reading instead of typing I'd have gotten there faster.

limber vortex

We just need access to the wedding alteration system.

kinda like the "sweatshops" we used to have and the leatherworker place at RoL?

New Clothing Idea
Wandering ink/thread
Imagine a painted design on clothing, or embroidered with magical thread that would display something that would express the flow of time throughout the day and reset at midnight. Something like a seed that would sprout at dawn and grow into a tree by noon and lose its leaves by midnight and start back over again the next day. Or a rose vine that meanders down the sleeves and blooms only to die back by midnight. A phoenix being born living it’s whole life in a day and dying by fire and being reborn at midnight. The moons going through their phases. Images of the sky mirrored in the clothing. A pumpkin vine that would meander and grow through the day ending with jack o lanterns by end of day. Waves of thread simulating ocean waves that go through a storm throughout the day. Maybe tie into the forage and bug system and have it express the life of the plant or bug throughout the day.

And could have a raffle in the shop for wandering tattoo.

Clothing/Container/Non-enhancive Hider

  • Works just like the enhancive hider, but it hides clothing for those situations where tuck/untuck doesn't cut it.
  • Bonus points if it can make it so the item is not considered worn at all, which would allow for chest tattoos/tattoos hidden by the clothing being hidden to be shown.

#

Container Hider Suggestion:

Hides the containers you tell it to so you do not look like a walking peddler.

Yes, Yes, I know about shimmer trinkets, but sometimes you just want a quick change of clothes.

#

Unlock certificates for cobbling punches.

#

Definitely keep market stalls and more opportunities to alter them!

Could we get a prayer bead shop again that sell these or similar? https://gswiki.play.net/Attuned_prayer_beads
These were so great when they were sold at past EGs, but unfortunately, can't be re-attuned. So either having an option to buy new ones, or if not a shop, maybe a cert or merchant service, that can provide re-attunement of existing ones.

Could someone look into putting some Life Aquatic river creatures in the River in Naidem for next year? We have awesome Bugs On Parade, was disappointed to not see anything in the river..

we have an upper box, a plates box, knitted upper pattern, can we get a settings box, where you have A/B/C options, and a PONDER to give a random design?

Like baggy pants to hide waist down items. Baggy shirt for waist up. A full circle skirt. A voluminous blouse. A burka for total coverage. A banana hammock for zero coverage. You see where this is going you hippie beatniks.

Basically clothing to cover up stuff like a poor man’s shimmer trinket

What about private properties for pets?

Custom teabowl for your teadragon? Ummm, maybe a mailbox for your flying tome?

maybe one of those little libraries that are popping up in places?

I'd absolutely love property pets, kind of like the premium home pets. Just a little buddy to wander around, be flopped across the kitchen table where he doesn't belong when I walk in

Did large capacity alchemy jars get moved to a different event? EG was where I used to find them but this year I couldn't locate any.

#

I'd also like to see the map thats used for shops on the wiki. Theres a map on the wiki but the room numbers on it bear no relation to the room numbers on whatever map the shop entries on the wiki are referring to.

regal hornet
#

The maps are all player made I believe but also kind of hard to fit a lich id or uid on the image without it becoming incredibly cluttered.

The wiki entry for each shop that lists the inventory does include the lich id and uid for go2 purposes.

still slate
#

The wiki shop entries list 3 room numbers. Two work with lich but the 3rd doesn't work with the wiki map.

Does the guidebook not take you to shops?

tardy plinth
#

It only takes you outside shops if there's an ongoing raffle or merchanting.
it's not like there's a table of contents where you click on the shop and POOF you're outside the door.

merry sleet
#

Ooooh, would be preeeeetttty nifty if there was a directory in the guidebook, laid out similarly to the in game "SHOP DIR" but when you clicked on, would take you there... If that's what was being suggested above somewhere, I 2nd the notion! (I haven't read back through this channel yet)

I would love to see the inventory management aspect of EG fishing be revised.

Instead of dropping 1 of 58 different custom death messaging options...

  • Drop a custom death token
    Instead of dropping 1 of 18 different muddy duds...
  • Drop a muddy duds token
    Instead of dropping 1 of 9 different lure items...
  • Drop a lure token

Instead of ...

  • Drop a custom fireworks token
  • Drop a custom manna bread token
  • Drop a custom sanctuary token
  • Drop a custom spell prep token
  • Drop a custom disk token
  • Drop a custom bolt token

Offer a token-ator for sale to hold all these tokens.

I currently have ... 167 + 394 + 91: 652 fishing drops stored. And that's after turning in a ton of custom death messaging duplicates above a quantity of 3.

Have a shop where the tokens can be exchanged for one of the current options, or new EG 2024 options. If the exchange token for prize is tricky, let us redeem these tokens for ... general tickets? And sell the options directly for general tickets?

still slate
sand crane
#

Fishing at EG is about the only place left that you can experience the, "Oooh what did I get??" random loot thrill that use to be such a hallmark of EG with games/digging. I'd be real sad if it too was removed just to make inventory management easier for a subset of heavy users.

limber vortex
#

You don't design a system around the person who does something once or twice.

Maybe you can check out the prize piles at Delirium Manor for your "Oooh what did I get??"

Even still, you would get a random token, a random gem, or the random muddy duds/lure, etc. This is just making all the custom messaging easier to manage. The "Oooh what did I get??" isn't going away completely.

wooden swift
#

Turn a token in and choose premade whatever off a board? Yeah. That sounds great to me! You know you got a death message/custom whatever for X spell/manna bread and you redeem it Rat Casino style for the one you really wanted vs either being whatever about it, lockering it, or sacking it up and tossing it in the well like so many kittens.

merry sleet
#

I like the idea - but I feel like they'd have to SEVERELY reduce the drop rate, otherwise activity could crater.
"Cool, I found a token, I can go get the exact prep/message/xyz that I wanted.... time to put the fishing pole back in the shed till next year!"

limber vortex
#

I don't think you have any understanding of why people are fishing with that response.

#

I think it is safe to say people fish for different reasons. Some might be fishing for the Well Coin, but that doesn’t mean everyone is.

I was wondering if Fancy Wish Bones shop might sell something for sorcerers in 2024 like how the wizards have the rainbow unicorn kitten with monarch butterfly wings (i love the kitten on my wizard its soo cute ) maybe something like ... Sorcerer Demon Grantris - Black Kitten
With the illusion of "a raven winged black kitten with red eyes and a serpent tail" .. and i'd also like to request in the Rub-a-dub-Dub shop could it please sell some bubble and perfumed soap bars and maybe a water squirting rubber ducky.There used to be a shop that had Items for premium homes in ebons along time ago could that please be brought back and that trick candy that would have you change colors or show you with spots when you ate it that was so funny . For raffles - could there possibly be premium home customization and player shop customization please ..thank you

Ok throwing this idea out there... a pipe tobacco-making contraption. Similar in function to the cheese wheel, we would have to find tobacco leaves (forageable) and then we could add up to two other things for the scent. Unlock: ability to also make tobacco for cigars.

piggybacking off that... a humidor that is a cigar -inator 🥺

I mean, Naidem is populated by all peoples from all locations, so theoretically any theme would be appropriate.

Maybe the shopkeeper is fond of say... pinks. and purples. 😉

Specifically though, I vote that any of the containers be set to 25+ items.

What kind of containers are you talking about because if they are containers that are permanently arround then those are some of our leading causes in lag.

The 2 containers per room in a shop? Most people already only get the 25+ ones.

I’d like to see male versions of all the gown scripts, if possible, a smolder suit to complement the fire gown, a frost outfit to complement the icy gown and fuzzy parka, Shadowplay outfit as well; there are many gowns out there that don’t have a male counterpart, and I feel this is a missed opportunity for clothing. Guys want to look good too!
As far as new outfit ideas, I suggested a long time ago a four-season outfit idea, where it is like a symbiote plant that joins with the person and changes with each season, I don’t know if it’s possible to have a script check the date and change accordingly but the outfit would mimic the growth of the plant according to whatever season it is. Ambients would include flowering, dropping petals or leaves accordingly etc. This way you could get four looks out of one garment and be in season.
An outfit to match Veola would be lovely.
More steampunk clothing to go along with the clockwerke theme.
I just want to say I support my ladies in everything they do, and I am always happy when they get things, but I must confess that I do get a little upset when events seem heavily weighted one way and men are left with far less options. I really hope that going forward a little more effort is made to make things equal in the realm of fashion.

I would love to see a tea bag maker with the same depth as the alcohol stills:
Various nouns like Black Tea, Green Tea, Oolong, White Tea.
Then add flavors like you do with the stills so you could end up with a
Green Tea with hints of lemon and moonflower
or
Black Tea with cinnamon and orange
or
White tea with bacon and pumpkin

#

As a feature creep you could do custom tea bags...like silken pyramids....or cheesecloth squares....

I saw the cutting board in Jineve's Cookery. It's a prop that ain't gonna do anything, and that's fine.

But it would be boss to have a cutting board for meats so that you can change the verb in which they're cut so that way you can have specific types like filet or whatever.

Also, flavored butter. That would be dope.

I'd like to perhaps have a way to make jerky from meat shanks or dried fish from fish filets.

And this one may be more of a RW idea, but I'll float it here. Since we have market stalls, is there a mechanical way to have something similar to a market stall adapted as a wagon that fixes to a mount? So a mount may end up having a "long" description of pulling a functional wagon.

Yeah, I’m thinking of something that is mobile and links into the mount system. I think the PLACE mechanics are what may get in the way.

# fading marten Tell me more about your fire desires.

this was a bit that I had chatgpt help with, you might find some inspiration with it 👖 Emberweave Trousers: These trousers boast cuffs adorned in kindling-like embroidery, emitting ember sparks that dance around the wearer. With each step, they seem to spark miniature flames, leaving a trail of mystique in their wake.

🧥 Infernoheart Vest: Crafted from supple crimson leather, this vest emanates wisps of steam, creating a mirage-like effect. As heat distortions ripple around the wearer, an aura of otherworldly allure envelops them.

👕 Blazebound Shirt: Designed from breathable fabric with patterns reminiscent of dancing flames, the Blazebound Shirt maintains a cooling effect despite its fiery appearance. It ensures comfort even amidst the most heated moments.

🧥 Pyroclasmic Cloak: Draping around the wearer like a mantle of fire, this cloak features embroidered runes of power and a potent flame ward. Stylish and protective, it adds an element of intrigue to any ensemble.

#

But as I think about things, if you could push the envelope you could make a four sided script that would include the other three elements if you want to go really crazy, that way people could have water, earth, air sides as well but be able to switch between the elements depending on mood

Well the essence belt uses an uncommon alchemy drop. It doesn’t really let you take an old kakore runestaff and turn it into anything other than silvers. The poster’s idea is that there should be more to do with garbage weapons - I think it’s a good one

wooden swift
#

Runestaves/wood shields can be made into arrows via the wood chopper box. I mean… that’s something combat related from a treasure drop. Metals can be melted into slabs and forged again… so I’d say we’re getting there.
I get the idea of grinding it up and getting a combat buff, and it’s not a bad idea… just gotta look at the balance aspect (and not be doubling down on existing things/buffs)

meager zenith
#

Would certainly need to be balanced. Grinding up my kakore runestaff worth 6k silvers shouldn’t give you +50 AS for a day

A method to hand make customized tobacco pipes would be neat. Or perhaps a pipe that can use various PUSH items for customization.

It would be cool to get fluff pieces or items with ambients that fed off existing materials or scripts. No mechanical benefits (or maybe yes?)

Simple ideas:
Surita wristlet that has ambients if you have a surita staff in hand or a surita amulet that make your eyes have a faint glow when paired with a Runestaff

Shadarl leg wraps or boots that allow you to move quietly if also wearing Shadarl armor (kind of like Ranger movement)

400k for Rusalk off the shelf. Any ASG, MOST weapon bases.
450k for transmute.

If you are a "completionist" for your gear, for most of the "major" materials, it's almost always better to start with a really good base and transmute for the extra 10% cost.

You'll find 10x, S6, T5 weapons out there that you can pickup for 100m or so, and then transmute for 450k for a total cost of (550m/550k Total)
Vs. if you buy at 400k, and service up to 10x, S6, T5.... you're going to spend (615m/615k+) and have to hunt down all the services, and that's if you optimize all services and don't need suffuse. Hard to do.

Fluff Script adding is my suggestion for Ebon Gate 2024. Kinda like Gizwick does for his armor/weapon/UAC stuff. I LOVE when we get to enhance stuff we already have. I know we have the EZ scripter but I'd love to see some of the scripts we have come to love offered on items that have none at all. Have a dress you made YEARS ago that has no scripts and it fits the criteria for a billowy dress script addition? Great! Come to the merchant and they add X script to unscripted items or many release some pliers/scissors that add scripts to dresses, skirts, pants, shirts, blouses, bodices, etc like the jewelry pliers! Have a talisman that is pretty and sparkly but doesn't DO anything? More pliers (talisman, chain, anklet, earrings(especially ones that turn non-piercing earrings/studs/etc to piercing ones), studs, hoops, coronet, ring, band, brooch,clasp,pin)! Have you foraged some amazing flower that you WISH could be worn in your hair as a style or put behind your ear? Add the feature hair script to it! Know how often I make something I absolutely love and a month later the amazing GMs release some new fantastical scripted item that I would have LOVED to have existed before I made that item? All the time... All the dang time.😂 Anyway that's my idea.

New suggestion for a flourish that can be added to anything from ALL the lost items lately... A new "flourish"... The "Get your grubby hands off my stuff" flourish that you can apply to your stuff that "locks" it to whoever LICKs it. You LICK it to turn it on and LICK it again to turn it off (I dunno LICK doesn't seem used much). While on, if the one it's locked to loses it or drops it and someone finds it... it stuns, makes stink lines, screams "Help! I'm lost! Someone notify <OWNER>!" randomly, and just generally is a pain in the butt to anyone who grabs it who isn't the one who locked it. Easily unlocked by the person who locked it if they ever wanna sell it. When unlocked it can be relocked by whoever has it.

Tattoo transfer paper - the ability to use a piece of paper to "transfer" your tattoo. Works with plain (no monk/flypaper) tattoos. Allows you to stick the paper on your tattoo and then "remove it" so you can stick it somewhere else or put it on someone else. Might be nice for getting certain tattoos altered as well.

Addition to basketifiers, folding chairs, dark boxes, market stalls, deck the halls, etc or anything all mine/etc that does some kinda "warning" whenever you try and leave the room. If I try and walk out of the room just a "You're about to leave <item> behind. You sure you want to? Try again to leave <item>." would save me. I don't even use these items anymore for fear I'm gonna forget to pick them up. After having to spend 10mil to ransom my basketfier back when I accidentally left it behind once and having left my chair behind at least 3 times (remembered it just in time each time), I'm paranoid.

There really should be a mentor like volunteer team for major events like EG to help noobs navigate the complexity and stress. There's copious help to read but there's so much that you learn from experience to filter and manage the event.

#

I also believe there should be serious consideration to cap the service pass at 10 wins or spins. Perhaps let those who want even more services pay more, but limits would hopefully steer players into only trying to win opportunities that were truly meaningful to them, and not just a windfall.

sullen pulsar
#

I think the method they use now is pretty solid, increasingly offering services for those who have few of them as the week progresses.

junior slate
#

That method is gamed by someone who fishes 24 7 until the last day

#

I'd prioritize service based on weighted spins not picked at if we have such a way to count it.

balmy osprey
#

There have been many EG years where I get 10 services from Airisu alone because she often does 2 per session and the crowds are small enough for her to get everybody every time due to being only for the niche audience of cobblers.

I don't remember if last year was one of those, but I do remember getting lockpick repair from one merchant who came around three times and had even smaller single digit audiences. That's the sort of thing that would just fall out of favor with a 10 service limit.

junior slate
#

I'd favor then a compromise: the pass gives everyone a single golden widget that tricks the spinner into increasing your odds of winning 5x if held in right hand, that poofs as won once.

fervent kite
# junior slate There really should be a mentor like volunteer team for major events like EG to ...

What are you looking for specifically, past the resources Town Crier provides? (Which is... a lot.)
Someone to take you on an in-game tour of the area?
Someone to give the links to say, "This is the map. This is the other map. This is the list of shops. This is the information on how to get soul shards." ..?
Someone to help you prep alteration/service ideas before EG starts, and again once you get the NEW things just released this year?

As for getting services, EG does track how many services you've gotten, and as Merchant Week winds down, merchants increasingly work ONLY for people with X services or fewer. As has been noted above.

Unfortunately, Spinner Luck just sometimes sucks. I've been in a major state of no/little luck lately. Last EG started pretty unlucky for me, and then got better even without the X or fewer merchant sessions. RNG is just gonna RNG some days.

junior slate
#

An event mentor would help you realize how to navigate raffles and merchant signs, how to find wiki and towncrier info, how to fish, how to trick or treat, what is a good value...all the stuff veterans know but don't even think about anymore. The week before merchants would be the time to host guides.

potent quest
#

Sign me up for instructions on how to play the games and know what's good to buy

junior slate
#

A savvy EG pro also knows which merchants offer the best services on the more complex items and goes to those instead of the newbie merchant doing light deep only. That is an example of nuanced experience that helps manage stress. Think of yourself going on first cruise...do you succumb to the constant messages from the activities coordinator to get to the next must do event, or do you realize it's best to chill at the bar until the better stuff happens?

fervent kite
#

What's "best" to buy is going to be different from person to person. My ideas of best are wildly different from someone who loves combat way more than I do.

sullen pulsar
#

Merchants cycle through, and change up what they offer throughout the event. Fortunately, we have really cool tools to help players figure out what is going on.

#

Between portals that tell you what the merchant is working on when you walk in, spinners and signs that are dynamic, maps that will show you where raffles and merchants are, there are more tools to help players navigate festivals than ever before.

junior slate
#

It would also be in context with level of character and class. But even so, you could advise spend your money on a top shelf new scripty herb kit instead of the 4x flaring shield as a better long term value.

Big events are fun but also stress to the new.

sullen pulsar
#

There is also a quest to obtain a guidebook thing that will show you active merchants and raffles

potent quest
#

One thing I will request, as someone who does like getting work done but doesn't know the merchants and doesn't have as much time as I used to for merchanting. Please say what you're working on when announcing. I don't go to merchants if I don't think I can avail myself of the services, as I don't want to take it from someone who does want it. Also, I'm not "in the know" so I have no clue what it means when an announcement says "this merchant is on and is doing their usual thing!" But I don't know what they normally do, so how am I to know whether I should go?

junior slate
#

Most first timers learn what they should have done for next year. You don't get to be rohese or fluers overnight...it takes months of prep on idea refinement, fodder procurement, visiting the grounds, knowing about fish hooks etc. This would not endeavor to be a master class on merchanting, but would help noobs get more fun in year 1

sullen pulsar
#

So that would be my pro tip number 1.

void ivy
#

There is literally a guidebook called The Newly Unliving Registry.

junior slate
#

But many don't want to read a tome to play...they show up and are in it

#

The resources are vast and great, but you have to know they exist and where and then have someone to ask questions to

sullen pulsar
#

Go to the merchant. If they aren't working on anything you are interested in, don't stay. At the end of the day, merchants are going to announce the way they are going to announce. And I think it is great having a mix of explicit announcements and ones that only the truly curious are going to check out.

Many players do not like discord. Some don't use lnet. We need to help the ignorant.

It's one thing someone tried to find something on the wiki but couldn't find it because the search is hotbage. I get that. It's people who can't be bothered to look at all.

There is no greater sin, in my book, than willful ignorance. And if someone is unwilling to utilize the resources that a to of hard work has already been put into, I don't see why anyone should be providing more free labor.

Do not mistake me. I am not asking for people to hold my hand and take me everywhere. I very much prefer having the tools at my own disposal. I want to find out for myself. I'm not saying that I'd like for a merchant to announce every single time what they're going to be going. But at least somewhere, some information about what they do would be nice so I could at least have an idea of what I'm getting myself into. Like a list of merchants that would be posted as a teaser before EG, if they still do that list.

Just jumping in to say that to some degree, you do kind of have to go through one major event to fully learn the ropes. There's lots of resources out there, a player base willing to answer questions here on the official discord and also in the unofficial crafting server. But when I returned after almost a decade away, i did kind of also have to "go through it" in addition to people being kind and answering questions cause to some degree, just experiencing it is the best way to learn the ropes.

Just to clarify, Tarakan went from limit other people so I can increase my odds, to ... weight spins to increase my odds, to ... give me a widget to increase my odds. To ... all these noobs are "ignorant" (his words) and they need to much help.

I'm going to echo that people are VERY willing to help during EG. If you aren't tuned to TownCrier on ESP, you're already missing out in a major way, and that's an IN GAME resource.
The in game guidebook to Naidem is a great introduction to the area, and completing it gives you some major help during Merchant Week if you participate in that. I'll be the first to admit that some of the puzzles are maddening, but even I, as a long-time player, got help with the puzzles I struggled with... and I'm more than happy to help as best as I can (though my memory is crap and it'll have been a year).

As someone who doesn't use lich and therefore doesn't have access to ;goto, I just have to look at the maps posted on the wiki until I remember the lay of the land again. And urchin guides.

Town Crier puts out a Buyer's Guide for every festival where players just like us say "This is what I think you should buy and why." I personally don't agree with everything on the lists, and I'm often a contributor to the lists. Not reading the Buyer's Guide is really missing out on things from the shops - I try to look at all the teasers for the major festivals, and there are still some things that I don't get until someone puts in the recommendation and talks about the actual use of the item (I've insanely slept on a few things until seeing it in the BG, and then I smack myself).

If anyone wants to follow Traiva during EG... I probably won't stop you, but I also can't guarantee what kind of experience you'll have. I try to hit a lot of merchants, but not every one. I do a lot of bug collecting and foraging. If there's Life Aquatic on the river, I'll be collecting those, too. Sometimes I just wander, enjoying the area, because it is AH-MAY-ZING and I love it.
You tell me if that's the EG experience you want.

sullen pulsar
#

For what it is worth, I don't think there are that many people who actively choose to not use the resources that already exist (once they know they are available) and also expect to be personally catered to. I think most people do actually at least try to figure some stuff out. I am more than happy to help anyone who is looking to be pointed in a direction, clarifying something that's confusing, finding a resource that isn't immediately forthcoming. That is all absolutely understandable and expected.

worldly saddle
#

I think we've hit the "pretty far afield from actual EG suggestions" point ... thank you everyone for your feedback and information.

Tarakan, we definitely understand that there are huge learning curves to GS, and pay events can be a big part of that.

There are tons of resources already. I am sure if your idea of a "mentor-like tour/event" appeals to some players that they will surely run with it to assist those who are still confused. However, it's also great to just explain some of the resources, etc.

From a learning standpoint, you have to actually go out and do some things. So you can read it and such and you can absorb only so much. Then you go out, try some things, learn some things, go "A HA! THAT IS WHAT THAT MEANT!" and you can go back and reread and now you have a foundation to build upon, and what you reread will actually start to gel and make more sense.

We (players/staff) all try to make this as easy as possible, but none of it can replace getting out there to get used to it.

#

The tools provided by everyone will make more sense as you dip your feet in more, for sure

fleet jacinth

BTW... The GUIDEBOOK you can easily get on a quest at Ebon Gate in a night is absolutely amazing. PROPS to the GMs for putting this together. It has been an amazing tool.

||The guidebook you can get during a quest looks like this: a shadowy leatherbound guidebook

When read it will show you ALL information you'd ever need for merchants/raffles. It shows Merchants, What they're working on, Where they're working and click travel to the room. It even works during other events to show what merchants are working and where they are working. I used it multiple times to keep my eyes open... I'd love to see it work at all events/merchants/etc. It's pretty much the ELITE in merchanting/raffling.

Since my name was thrown out there I will just add that everyone is welcome to join me at EG (or any festival for that matter) if my group is open and on the proviso that (a) you are willing to RP, (ii) you accept that the group will sometimes make silly OOC remarks, and (3) you are positive and kind at all times. I only close my group if I am lurking AFK somewhere so try again later.

I will also discuss the possibility of running an EG primer event with the Mentors and see what we can do. We have run merchant/alter prep sessions before but perhaps we can do something with a little wider scope, even if it’s just compiling a list of “must read” links and tips to share with everyone.

Same thing for Fyg. I tend to be more focused on maximizing for everyone, but the same as Rohese, you need to be positive and kind. Getting hooked up with a group is the best thing because then you've got access to people who have ideas, and have knowledge - like which merchant will only do one side, or only L/D, etc.

#

One of the things that I can definitely suggest to maximize your enjoyment at EG (or any festival) is to scout out the place during the opening, and make a list of what you think you might want from the merchants. Note down which shop (or set an ;alias to their workroom), and the merchant name if possible, so when they announce, you can get there quickly and not miss any spins.

An added tool to consider is the Festival Verb

#

Additionally, as others mentioned, the Jack-o-Lanterns tell you what each merchant is working on and their selection method

The jack o lanterns are great on both sides, for players and GMs. Yusri forever!

It would be neat if EG merchant announcements came with a specific tag you could attach a sound highlight to.

#

They do echo to Discord.

sullen pulsar
#

They do, for sure! But there isn't a consistent string to highlight in order to make a sound highlight for it. I think maybe it's OOC announcements that has the [ANNOUNCEMENT] tag proceeding it, and I have that sound highlight attached to it. So it can pull my attention even if I'm tabbed out to Pinterest, looking at new dresses to make.

Requiring every announcement to use the command that shows up in the announcements window would be nice.

#

The problem with using ANNOUNCEMENT is that is global and not just for folks going to EG. It annoys non-festival goers a lot

sullen pulsar
#

Yeah, which I was hoping for some agreed upon tag or something specifically for EG. That would serve a similar purpose.

is the form out yet?

It isn't July yet? I thought I had announced I'd be putting it out in July.

you had said it would be out after rw and open until the end of June at one point

I’ve been trying to get my magic item graver altered for a while now. Would love it if a GM could get permission to alter the stamps on it for EG.

I want to suggest fancy kitten homes like they have in DragonRealms. They sell all kinds of fun things to put your kitten in at event shops in DragonRealms. Miniature cottages made of fabric and stuffing, model ships, lots of things. Examples can be seen here: https://elanthipedia.play.net/Kitten_Emporium

I have an EG request for consideration: an alternate version of battle vaults that include a service pass instead of Trick or Treat entries. (Or possibly even in addition to? And, for clarity, I'm not saying get rid of the DR/RW-style vaults. Here's my rationale...)

This occurs to me because my understanding is that the contents of battle vaults were designed around what the median buy-in for a pay event has historically been, but a little bit above that mark to entice players to spend a little extra for the exp scrolls and some neat fluff item.

However, while median buy-in for DR and RW is 50 entries because bloodscrip/raikhen-generating activities are the only thing to those events, the primary selling point of Ebon Gate is the merchants, not the soul shard activities. So an offering that entices people to spend a bit more than the service pass alone might have merit.

The new locus will drive alternative currency needs for a while

#

It could help. It could also be that the Venn diagram of people who do not care at all about ToT or arena entries and people who do not care even a little about an enhancive doodads is close to a perfect circle.

#

I'd pay more for a concierge ebon gate merchant upgrade to guarantee service work [complicated alterations, unlocks] on specific items, rather than the time sink of random spinner luck

#

Irl annual festivals like oktoberest zinzinnati offer collectible annual pins for hats and sashes. Someone should update the pin sashes to be weightless and hold more than 20 to incentive collectors in the same way charms are now more viable

Can it be possible to get a gender change on our lambs?

junior slate

How about a new opportunity each year on October 31st only ...must have event pass and pay 10000 soulshards and also infuse 10000 mana onto special enruned altar in advance....grants service boost of 666 to any one cast attempt.

Probably to late for this EG and I might be the only one interested but I have a TON of old dolls and stuffed animals, etc. I'd love to add some fluff actions to them. Like a "flourish" but not for weapons but for fluffy stuffs. 😂

You'd probably be looking into EZ scripts. But flourishes were originally for fluffy stuff too

A container that held all your stuffed critters weighlessly and let you sort and still interact without holding in hand would be huge

Jack in the box maybe to access one by popping it up and out, keeping the rest safe
