Q: From patch notes: "- If a spell is resisted, the spell graphic effect will not play on the target creature/player. A white hand (the new spell resist graphic) will appear above the character's head to indicate the resist."
Can I resist the healing that my pet tries to give me?
A: You are not supposed to resist healing – if you are getting the spell effect when you're being healed, please report it as a bug.
Q: A few months ago, I read, in a grab bag, that you could have 8 paladins running their heal chants at once, and they would all stack. Does this hold true to skalds as well? Thanks!
A: No, the Paladin heal chant is unique in this way.
Q: I have a necro that I want to get armor spellcrafted for, but no one can tell me what stats transfer to the pet. I have heard only Int and resists transfer. However, I was recently told that melee resists do not transfer.
A: From our magic designer: "Melee resists currently do not transfer. We're looking at ways to pass more stats down to your pet, so you may want to hold off on buying your suit." Keep in mind that this may or may not happen, and that I have no ETA if it does happen. I'm printing this just so you know we're thinking about it =)
Q: My (insert fancy weapon here) doesn't have a glowie or a sparkly effect. I think it is just as rare as (insert weapon with sparkly effect here).
A: We have made a list of all the rare or otherwise special weapons that have no glowie or sparkly, and sent the list up the chain. There's no specific delivery date I can give you, but we know about the absent special effects, I assure you.
Q: Any chance you can put in a quest to get our monster heads made into trophies, instead of having to work with a crafter? Also, is there a list of all the monsters that might be made into trophies for our houses?
A: We intentionally designed the trophy system so that other players would be needed to make the trophies, and that's not going to change. As for the list, for now at least it's something to be discovered – we won't consider posting or linking to any spoilers for quite some time to come =) For the details of "how to make a trophy" be sure to read the manual:

Q: Let's say I buy a lot and a house and I want to turn it into a guild house. We have 3 guildmasters, but I have been chosen to be "in-charge" of the guild house and finances. When I deed it to a guild, will the control of the house be given to all 3 GMs?
A: All rank zero characters in the guild are treated as owners of the house.
Q: Where's that CD with the Foundations files? The one you said Mythic would be selling for cost?
A: I am told you should look on the store next week.
Q: My primary server is Gaheris and I'd like to know if we can build any realm house on any realm lot, no matter what realm your character is. In other words... Can a Hib character build a Mid house on an Alb property on the Gaheris server?
A: Yup. Just be sure you buy a Midgard deed in the above described scenario.
Q: If I buy a cottage now and want to upgrade to a house later.... do I pay full price for the house (10p) or do I get 1p "credit" for my cottage?
A: At this time, you'll need to pay full price for the upgrade.
Q: If someone buys a house for a certain amount of money and then sells it to me for a different amount of money, what will my weekly rent be? Will it be based on what the original selling price was or what I paid for it?
A: Rent is based upon the type of the house only, not the buying price or selling price.
Q: After you purchase a lot, how long does a player have to put a house on it?
A: One week of real life time.
Q: What happened to weaponcrafting? Previously, I was a 740ish weaponcrafter. I have not worked on my woodworking skill that much, it was only at 500. Now it is required that I level up my wood skill to make an item that doesnt even require woodworking previously. Is this an error or is this going to be pernament?
A: Straight from the keyboard of the crafting designer: "Weaponcrafting is like any other tradeskill now wherein if a material is used in the creation of an item, then the appropriate material skill check is required.
"Because of this, items that did not require wood before do now, items that did not require leather may now as well.
"Once your skill has been brought up to the level that you can create the full recipes again, it will stay constant with the other sub skills involved."
Q: Awhile back, maybe a few months, I found an item called "Broken Shackler Bits". This item was dropped from a Drakoran Sneak inside Avalon City. It appears to be a quest item, specifically for a bounty turn in. I have asked around, and to my surprise, no one else has found this item, seen it, or seen an NPC asking for it. Is it possible that this item is "broken," or the NPC disabled, quest changed, etc.?
A: When I looked for the answer to your question, we turned up a bug. The item *is* for a bounty turn in quest – but you're not supposed to kill drakoran anything to get it =) There are monsters called "shacklers" in the Dales of Devwy, and if you've got good faction with the drakoran, you can turn in the bits to a drakoran named Beath in the same zone. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Announcement time! As many people know, many people with larceny in their hearts will grab "one letter off" domain names similar to popular website destinations. The Herald has arrived – there is a site called
www.cameloterald.com (there's no "h" on the word herald). It's not porn, though, it's a scam collector. They ask for your account name and password, and then redirect you to the real Herald. You will not ever need to enter your password just to read the news page of the Camelot Herald. So, be careful when you type in our address!
I know lots of people are planning to use bounty points to pay rent on the homes they're buying next week. May I recommend you convert only as many points as you need at one time, instead of converting all your points to tokens at once? We will be developing new bounty point rewards in the next few months, and you may want to have some stockpiled.
I had an interesting time on IRC yesterday. I first went to #realiseult on the Stratics IRC server as a favor to a favorite "little brother" of mine. Unfortunately, that channel was not moderated, and… well, if you've been in a bathroom at a bus station, you can imagine the caliber of the text. A mod from another channel (shout out to Lexi, who did her best – and no, Lex, I level up same as everyone else does, one pixel at a time) generously invited me to the much more enjoyable environment of #gawaine, where I had a good time shooting the breeze with the local inmates… uh, community. At least until I got booted from the channel for being an imposter. That was a very odd feeling, being told I was impersonating myself. So, Picus – NOW do you believe me?
