Wishlist - Artifact Adjustments
Not sure if a thread like this would get much mileage, but I've heard lots of people say, "Oh, I wish this did that," regarding artifacts. These are not ideas for new artifacts, it is a wishlist for changes to existing artifacts, or a tweak that would make you buy something you've hitherto passed up.
I imagine some would merit minor price increases (like wishing the new notebook would preserve sketches - maybe it could do that, and be re-priced to assume the pre-purchase of a certain quantity of sketch seals).
Anyway, my wishes:
- Glamrock slots should only decay if you recorded yourself wearing a non-permanent item with no decay time (ie, a quest or domoth item or similar). Regular player-made item and artifact descriptions should last indefinitely.
- Aethersuits should be able to project any of the very cool aethersuit designs at will (with a balance).
- When a great rune of the tobacconist is attached to a plain wooden pipe (arts, not artisan), it should become one of the glimmering ivory pipes of old.

Instead of having 3 dozen whips, allow whips to be bought for one type, and have another whip or an upgrade that lets you expand the available types. TUNE WHIP <damage> to change it, maybe even allow TUNE WHIP <%> <damage> <%> <damage>, so you can adjust on the fly without having to unwield whip;;wield whip7777.
If an Ur'Trap has a contract, let the hireling automatically activate the trap as long as there's bait left. If you need to justify the full upgrade even more, make it a 33/66/100% chance. (Or to really pull the dingbats out make it a seperate upgrade, I guess?)
A quality of life change - please add the destination of a bubblix to its nouns. IE Cookie nouns would be cookie, Crumkindivia.
Make the sketch book work like a super sketch seal - holds sketches together and preserves them. Make them only hold say, 10 (and price to match the equivalent in seals)
What I would like it to be able to do is to hold a number of blank sketches (say, up to the 10 mentioned by Lavinya) and make the blank sketches non-decay. Then when you sketch something, if you have a blank sketch in the sketchbook it just automatically peels off & uses one of those.
I would also like to be able to store my excess master sketch seals in the sketchpad.
Edit: What about this glittering feedback field... thing? Most terribly worthless 300cr artifact I have ever seen.
- I wish the golden lifeline either cost power or had the once-a-day limit. But not both.
- I wish the beastmaster whip and crop didn't take trains, and didn't consume mana on usage.
- I wish the wonderwand deathsight power would get replaced since it is now redundant
Can you theoretically walk into a room of boneshark or something, put up your shield and watch them die? That sounds useful.
In practice:
I have been standing here letting a moose beat against my shield for a while now and it is still going strong. I'm not sure if it's even firing on the NPC, despite the helpfile saying it will.
Also, I know it's the easiest thing in the world to fix myself (but no harder than resetting urTraps amirite), but if you do a non-charity influence attack whilst wearing a Scarecrow Hat, maybe some line could fire to let you know?
An illithoid guard listens to your argument with half an ear, his eyes transfixed to your tatty headwear.
I don't care to count the number of hours I've spent wondering why the heck the Nexus guards are suddenly superpowered
On the topic of wonderwand I would also love if it was just a general attack item (doing the same damage regardless of npc or player) instead of being whip-like (doing more damage to npcs and less damage to players)
