    You can, but unless you want to blow a few hundred thousand gold on it, let your guild supply it to you for cheaper.

It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

    It shouldn't cost hundreds of thousands of gold to stock up, it takes me perhaps 20-30k to get enough wildeamber.

    You can also bake pixies, deer and various other things in pies and cookies as well.
    Gloms are the only org with easy, guilt free access to deer corpses. I learned this through reasons.

    Wait are we supposed to feel guilty about converting one entire deer into two entire cookies?

    Serens can't really kill one of their, what, three deer without breaking one or more quests. Then again, I'm sure that would be ssomewhat cathartic.

    Yes we can  :-/ There are at least 12 Serenwilde deer, and we generally don't have a problem killing them. I have no idea what you're talking about?
  • LuceLuce Fox Populi
    Wait, there are..?

    Yes. There is generally no problem with (Serenwilders or trusted allies) bumming around hunting them, especially if it's to eat them. They also don't interact with any quests I'm aware of.
  • ShaddusShaddus , the Leper Messiah Outside your window.
    You just shouldn't kill the silver ones.

    Why not kill the bucks in the Tar Pits?  Did they stop leaving corpses?

    TIL there's a way to buy fake essence.

    Now, if someone wants to Today I Taught me how to -get- said fake essence..?

  • It's only for the 'chems or 'woods to use for producing their stuff. The person who originally taught the guild the new skill sells it. There should be something in your guildhall that lets you transverse to (near) them, and they'll have a special area on your ethereal/elemental plane.

    I know the Woods persons can both offer Sap for like 100 gold, found like 300 or some thing once, you can put about that much in your Rift. In fact, anyone can, something I learned to late to save that sap(in fact, now that I think about it, Tylwyth still has some sap INR from a Wyrdenwood I  am petty sure is deleted or dead-dead do to a mis -tell). You convert it to whatever type of sap you need, instead of converting essence. I assume the Chemantics teachers offer something similar.

    Oh, that's disappointing. I was hoping that you could use it in place of essence for design stuff. Sadness.

    You could, but first you would need to design something that used it, instead of essence.

    Today I learned that if you ask nicely, people are cool with leaving one of the few neutral forest locations in the game alone so that way baby 'woods have a place to go and mulch trees. My babies haven't been mulched or chopped yet!

    (wrong thread, whoops, so ummm....)

    Also learned that there's a difference between marble and cloudy marble.

    I never liked this nor understood it. The deers and bucks should be considered sacred...I mean heck you can even get a helm that'll let you speak with them telepathically and they're such lovely things.


    Sure whatever "cycles,. hunting, blah blah", but I still think it is pretty lame.
  • ShaddusShaddus , the Leper Messiah Outside your window.
    Torc, not helm.

    Also, Seren doesn't worship deer.

    We absolutely do not worship deer - and that idea of sacredness is how cities do things. It's more that coddling them removes what makes them sacred than wishy washy cycles stuff.

    Today I learned all shirts are effectively tank tops for purposes of arm tattoo visibility! But tabards, which are traditionally sleeveless, will cover the arms.
    I used to make cakes.

    Satchels cover the waist, also. All the time.

    Going back to school is f******* expensive. I have a comfortable salary and tuition reimbursement and I'm still looking at these tuition costs like "I literally can't even with this."

    While I can sympathize, but isnt this for general dissatisfaction?

    I learned it today, since I haven't looked at tuition costs in a decade. Thus, it is Today I Learned.
