Older 2019 post is where the wiki got the info. If things changed as per Kalo, wiki will be updated.

Was the change undoing that 2019 post announced somewhere? I don't understand why they'd take assassins away from classes who get blinding speed.

The cooldown of Blinding Speed is reduced by 1 turn every 6 combined Assassin, Harper Scout, Invisible Blade, Rogue, Shadowdancer, Swashbuckler and Zhentarim Operative levels. Rogue levels are not required for this bonus to trigger. From the wiki on the Assassin class page and the Blinding Speed pa...

I am arguing that unfortunately, the stagnation of the upper echelons of the big name characters is a part of the problem. How much of a part? Unclear. Some, at least, is my argument. I also said "wittingly or not", because I wished to make clear that I do not think this is a grand plot, that a sel...

Only way I would want to see a "wipe" or reboot would be to have a brand new Arelith server running concurrently with perceived economy issues corrected and with no character transfer in between, and that could gradually at some point in the future take over completely but in the meantime we're givi...

A pawn shop might be a good middle step between temp store and auction house. Like it gives more than just selling an item to a vendor would but a lot less than selling to another player might, and it sells items for an inflated price so you're encourage to find players to buy from instead, but it's...

I think if we're going to have an emulation of capitalism we can't be surprised when people game it to their advantage. Yeah tight-knit groups have a lot of advantage but from my experience here I think the great leveler is you can get into almost any group you want (if you're willing to be a team p...

I'm not seeing blinding speed return at all on my assassin. It's 1 use/rest now.

I am not sure what "meaningful" would entail. I don't see a way to make level 15 play enticing when you're surrounded by 30s everywhere and they have tons of things they can do but you can't and there's nothing you can do that they can't do. I am pretty convinced the only way to make low and mid lev...

How many new players will have normal award and 20 RPR? I think the vast majority using advanced start (beyond that one promotion last year) will know exactly what they're doing. I just don't think it needs to be on the list of problems.

Regarding the level 8 start... Before I commit I want to make sure, can these characters still roll for awards?

I'm just going back to Bendir because I'm very familiar with the town. Let's say the current Hawkin captain can't find enough recruits to fill the quarters. What then? The barracks go up for sale, the mayor gets sacked, what? There are only so many people playing hin and only a fraction are into bei...

I don't understand what the repercussion would be if Bendir couldn't fill its Hawkin barracks. Would they be expected to disband? Who would move in? There are some factions that are built into the server like Harpers, assassins, the Grove, the arcane tower, presumably Zhents, etc, that have quarters...

I'd like to see some DMs make lower stakes events for low and mid levels only (actively turning away anyone epic) That could bring in more players who feel they're shut out of the save-the-world epic stuff and if there was some exclusive activity in that level range it could encourage sticking aroun...

This has more to do with most end game gear being usable at level 16 or 21 than how long people take to level. If you had to wait until level 26 or even 30 to equip the best stuff you'd see the mid-range used more but now you're better off saving the money for the item you'll use the rest of that ch...

Judging from years of reading these forums and many Discords I don’t think too many players see level 30 as a “superhero”. More like a “complete” or “competitive build”. Most discussion of building characters is about how they do at 30 in PVP and never how much fun it is to play if you’re taking you...

New players still have the thrill of discovery... Veterans are going to be always repeating experiences they've had many times before on new characters. I don't believe it realistic to ask the latter to pretend the Cordor sewers are fresh and exciting again. This is something that is always going to...

I do have SSDs on both of my computers, one a Windows machine with ample ram & graphics bought to handle After Effects and the laptop a new Mac with M1 and 16 ram. Both are still excruciating when loading some areas so I wonder why your SSD is so quick. I also wonder if any of the more opaque graphi...

I've noticed some areas are taking muuuuch longer to load than they used to. I'm not talking about vs many years ago or before EE either, I mean since maybe 2020. The Mountain Village outside Brogdenstein for example often takes a minute and a half and I don't think that was the case 12+ months ago....

*Bump* because a week later and I still don't think Gift of Wealth is applying correctly. How often in real-life time should you see money added to the bank account? It's certainly not 20 minutes/1 IG hour.

Okay, I thought that's what it meant but in over an hour of play I saw no extra gold so wasn't sure if they meant "hour in spent game". Sorry if I am an idiot and not understanding, is this supposed to show up in your bank account every 20 minutes or---? Is it live? I know you can make a character w...

-The above 20,000 bonus is in addition to the NORMAL 500 (1000 in epics) payout per IG hour, and the NORMAL 1000 per level pay cap. What does IG hour mean? Real life hour spent in game or 1 hour on Arelith's sped up IG time system? Either way is it supposed to be working yet? I haven't seen any dep...

Just type -date so see the current day IG. Money should deposit Day 1 of each month. I also recall that the amount was increased to counter the longer wait due to time change. It's based on day of IG month not creation of character? Didn't know that. Even if so it's day 2, month 2 right now and sti...

I know how it works, I've used it in the past but it just seems like too long in between deposits after the change. I am almost positive I made the character last Monday and haven't seen any deposit yet (and certainly didn't start with 20,000, it only gave 5). Mostly I just want to figure out if it'...

Thanks, I thought it was made last Monday or Tuesday but maybe it hasn't been 10 days... That does seem like a long time to wait tbh especially if counting on that money to help level up... Also I only got 5,000 to start... I dunno!

How often should gift of wealth be putting money in your bank after the time system changed? I created a character who took the gift over a week ago and they haven't received a bank account deposit yet.
