To add to this - I would love a list of languages that one can learn. It could be marked if they are secret languages and not taught.

I would just like to know the common ones or the helpful ones to have.

@RightMeow It varies so much on the character it’s better to ask us via +request and we can tell you what we think is appropriate, or you can offer suggestions and we can let you know same.

Society of Explorers is really long, and I hate that every time I try @org Explorers, the game yells at me that it isn’t a real ~~boy~~ organization.

I get it. BUT IT IS A MINOR ANNOYANCE.

@Jennkryst Try Faith of the Pantheon

Solstice

Use your client to alias it! Works wonders.

Snackness

@Solstice But that’s woooooooork

Solstice

@Snackness

You’re not wrong, but… oh just look here!

Faith Work

@Jennkryst
Explorer Work

peeve: there is somebody using one of my top 5 favorite names in the whole world on Arx now and they aren’t my best friend already

eta: I CAN’T EVEN FANGIRL BECAUSE IT’S CREEPY.

You can do this in game using the ‘nick’ command, too! For example:

nick $1faith=$1Faith of the Pantheon

Once you do that, you would get the following result to the following inputs:

@emit Fairen thinks faithy things.
(Fairen) Fairen thinks faithy things.

 @emit Fairen thinks faith things. 
(Fairen) Fairen thinks faith things.

@emit Faith
(Fairen) Faith of the Pantheon

@org Faith
(The total vomit of @org Faith of the Pantheon, I'm not pasting it. You get the idea.)

Stuff like work/score, etc, also works that way. There might be more elegant ways to do it, but that is ONE way to do it pretty easily directly in the game.

Twelve months! Thirteen gods should mean 13 months!

… but 12 means this bullshit conspiracy-theorist who wears (setting equivalent to tin-foil) hats character idea I came up with is just chef kiss

The real question is do they have leap years and leap centuries?

Equipment, I can tolerate the eye-stabbing Ansi colors, but holy shit does the explosion of color make reading your inventory that march harder, when each item does not have it’s own line.

Pavel

@Jennkryst This is why, when I played Augustus, if the items weren’t light and dark grey, I didn’t use 'em. I’m a grumpy old man, I don’t need eye-stabbing ANSI.

@Jennkryst -

Use a bookcase for your wardrobe. It then adds each line into a drop down. Downside is that you end up then with a lot of scroll.

If you’ve not already looked into it as a command (so another for your ever growing list)

Help Outfit

Help Outfit

I actually already found that one, forgot about it, and then found it again!

… I also have outfits on there that I’ve never seen objects for, so I gotta dig through some inventory to find them.

Duke Whisky

Yeah I only just gutted Tino’s wardrobe to start replacing it with colour matching sets. Mostly because whenever I’d look at the wardrobe on him it would lag my client and I worried it was lagging everyone else’s.

I don’t know if that’s how the internet works or not.

Eye-stabby colors are my jam! Though I do a lot of gray blends too.

Saaaaaaaaaame.

@Whisky The two tailors that I know of in-house are both like ‘we are slow to work on anything, when we can be bothered to remember’, so I’m going to maybe find someone else to update the clothing line.

Edit: Which is not to say that like… RL coming first or sudden lack of creativity is a horrible thing and they are bad people because of. Just a minor peeve.
