| I had been thinking of trying woodworking as a craft for my druid. Unfortunately, a druid cannot equip the woodcutters axe required to harvest wood.
Would it be possible to have an axe that can be equipped by characters that cannot use martial weapons or should I just find another craft and consider this one a bad choice for druids? |

| First of all, I am posting here because I don't want to necessarily be seen as making a formal suggestion to the development team to change anything...I just want to "air my grievance."
Basically, I'm wondering what sort of levels the designers and builders of Vives would like to see the users reach and how long should it take? I know that power gaming is frowned upon and I don't think I could ever be accused of it, but roughly how many hours in game should I expect to spend before reaching, ... |

Additionally, death in Vives plays a <b>huge</b> factor in advancement. After one or two respawns, you can expect to have an extrememly difficult time gaining levels, as the EP is non-replenishable by character. This is by design... death is not something to be taken lightly.

Would it be fair to interpret this to mean that if I've respawned my character more than twice already, I may already be set up for disappointment? I'm not sure I understand the phrase "the EP is ... |

| <quote><color="#00004f">Statistically & objectively, it takes normal characters about 2 hours to reach level 3, 6 hours to reach level 4, 15-20 hours to reach level 5, 30-40 hours to reach level 6, 50-60 hours to reach level 7, about 120 hours to reach level 8, and about 300 hours to reach level 10.
By level 7, characters should be able to travel most overland places singly or in pair, and be able to escape from more dangerous places.

Well these numbers actually fit ... |

| <quote>HCR death rules </quote>
Potentially dumb question, but is HCR an acronym or just short-hand for hardcore?
Another potentially unanswerable question: How many of the active characters in Vives right now are capable of casting resurrection of another character a) from their own divine magic or b) with a scroll? And how difficult is it to get ones hands on a rez scroll right now?
I'm just wondering how likely it would be that anyone would ever come along able be able to rescue a ... |

| My latest dirt nap is a perfect example of this. I realized I was overmatched by a nasty bug and starting retreating, but when I retreated out of the cave, the bug was already outside when the new area loaded.
I'd be willing to accept that a human or elf couldn't outrun a giant bug anways (I remember reading somewhere that in relative terms, bug are superfast runners), but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been caught if I didn't have to "zone."
So, I learn another lesson about what I can ... |

| I'm in. I love them Yahoo pools. Although I usually play will money on the line - that probably isn't practical in this case.
See y'all on the grid. |
