Hireable mercenaries would be fun. They never were much good on OSI but maybe we could have stronger ones. We do already have what you're looking for though, in the form of human bio pets. One human bio can slaughter dozens of NPCs at one time. They're not easy to create or obtain but they're out there. Try "normal" pets too. You'd be surprised at how much a fully trained dragon, Cu, rune beetle, or raptalon can dish out during a fight.

What would you like to be able to buy with tokens? Most of it is home deco & eye candy but there are weapons, bless & bonding deeds, and other goodies. There's a reason tokens are worth 7x more than gold.

Weapon poisoning works but it requires you to use the "infectious strike" special ability. You'll find the special moves icons in one of the books in your paperdoll. Drag them onto the screen like you do spell icons. You can also set up macros for "Use special ability" (primary or secondary). These moves consume mana per use.

Anything can be neon colored - just take it to the hue field. Otherwise you'll have to make the weapon with blaze, toxic, electrum, or platinum ore. Same with the bows - it all depends on the material used to make it, or whatever color you selected for it in the hue field.

I think item ID went by the wayside when the client version changed to have auto-popup of item info. I remember having to determine a weapon's stats, never knowing if it was junk or priceless until I was able to ID it. I think by Third Dawn all item properties were available to everyone without the ID skill.

I understand there are alternatives to a lot of this I guess its more of an atmosphere thing... immersion and what not.

like with npcs... having them be "normal people" would feel more natural i guess...sort of? lol... ive seen the bios and pets btw...which idk.. do the bios have ghosts? *shrugs* ..still would be nice to form a party like that.
...tokens hmmm idk exactly XD everything is pretty way off in price for me anyway so im not to concerned about it i guess.
I actually meant item with charges Im aware of the skill but theres other cool items/spells/effects that could be used besides poison.
Neon occurs when you make something that has over 30% in something (might be wrong) its more of an achievement to create it than just dye it or used colored ingots...which are still cool in there own.
and item id was just fun *shrugs* maybe not on everything but I like surprises :p

oh and this was still goin on into late aos.

thanks for the reply.
man i got drinky last night u.u

Bios's do have ghosts, each bio takes 3 control slots (like a dragon), they can be equipped by their owner and can gain in skills like swrds, parry, magery etc. though not a full skill set. If u put bandies in their packs they will use them to heal themselves.
You can form a party if u have enough control slots, though I think you would need to donate to get extra slots to form a party :P
