Father Ribs Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 ((Couple items: 1. I hate wasting things, and I've always been a terrible packrat, but I hate to see things go to waste. My question is if the clan has some sort of quatermaster/mule for goods to be used by the clan as a whole. For instance, my main, a Foresaken Warlock, has a couple stacks of leather and some hides, a gold bar, some gems, etc, that he doesn't have tradeskill to use, but it would be stupid to just sell for the piddley silvers they'd earn. I'd rather see them go to crafters who can make some use out of it. Even if there is no actual such respository, if people started a thread "wishlish post" that they continually updated, with items they are looking for "need X to enchant this item/need Y tradegood to practice this skill/etc", then for example I'd mail them the gold bar, hides, etc. Obviously I wouldn't ask for anything in return until I've earned my place and folks don't think I'm setting up to enrich myself and run. 2. Re: Joining the Skullcrushers - I have a couple options. Right now my main is a Forsaken 21 Warlock...he works well for my soloing style, which is slow, tactically-sound, and a character who is more intrested in aquiring knowledge and exploring than racing up the level tree. I have other character concepts I'd like to develop, which are RP-oriented. One is my Troll Warrior Timtim, and my Tauren Shaman FallsFar. I don't know the WoW mythology enough to play a priest (From my NWN days I came to feel that priests/clerics are not mages with a different set of spells, they have to KNOW who they're priests of...that doesn't affect me here as much if others do it, but for me, I can't do it). So the question I ask is: Which classes are needed the most? A brief glance at the roster leads me to believe that developing a warrior would be the greatest merge of my RP intrests with clan needs, but I only see one other priest on the list, and very few druids. Is this a pressing need for the clan (the healer-types), or do you genrally find enough pick-up healers to round out your requirements? I could figure out a background for a healer-type character if someone could point me to a good resource for the relgions "in" WoW. The undead don't really strike me as being concerned about the other races as much, so Troll mythology if I was going for a Troll Priest, or I could reroll FallsFar as a Tauren druid focussing on healing. Also, what trade skill is most underrepresented in the clan? I'll focus on whatever is needed, even if it's just gathering skills. My initial guess from the roster is that engineering and enchanting are the most underrepresented, but if in practice other skills are more needed, let me know. Also, if you see Leszek in-game, say hi. I won't settle on a "true" main character until I hear back about acceptance into the clan and determine what sort of character you guys feel would most help in balancing your needs.))

Judius Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Quartermaster is a good idea- I'm fairly sure we don't have one. Though organizing one would be a worthy pursuit. ::yells for elders:: Waddya think guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though organizing one would be a worthy pursuit.::yells for elders:: Waddya think guys? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We have discussed it several times before, but the idea never went anywhere. I can again offer several character slots for storage and distribution purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 To answer part of question 2: The only thing I know of that we lack is a really good weaponsmith. Other than that, it seems we have our bases covered. We have plenty of enchanters, it's lack of formulas that's keeping us down A few more engineers would probably be good, however.

Guest Guest Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Sooooo....what would be better...miner/weaponsmith, or weaponsmith/engineer? I've worked up a Troll priest and have put a couple hours into him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have an axe-smith, but only 232 in smithing and no axe recipes... ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I would recommend neither, heheh. Personally, I'd go with miner/engineer, as you won't be able to use any of your own stuff if you go with the weaponsmithing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judius Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Miner/Engineer is probably the most raw fun. Plenty of very useful and/or very entertaining items to be made. And I too would be happy to donate a character slot or two, in addition to money for bags/expansion slots for said characters. It's a great idea that we really shouldnt let rot- I would love a place to set all my herbs and junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ribs Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 How about a mailing list/thread? Ie; everyone lists what their two main characters are looking for, say 2-3 items, if they're easilly found stuff (like light leather, linen, copper, etc.), then put it all on a spreadsheet so that next time you come back from a stroll through the barrens with 30-40 hides, you can just mail them off directly to whoever needs it at that point. The actual quatermaster would be better for the rarer items I would think...stuff that is drop only, otherwise whoever is "playing" the quatermaster will spend all their time just playing warehouse manager. Add skill points in people's crafting skills, so that there is a spread to who gets specific items first; the best crafters get the pick of the litter because they can make the best stuff with it, and the beginners get a larger share of the cheap junk to get a jump on points. Folks could start emailing me info and I can cut and paste it into a spreadsheet in a matter of minutes, then update it whenever needed.

Judius Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) Once more, I see no reason not to do this- though it's out of my authority (which is nil ;D) to enact official guild positions. I'd try, bring it up with volo, or an elder, once you are in game, and really pursue it. It's gonna take someone with the will to look over items that are not his, purely for the sake of others. EDIT: By the way, are you in the guild yet? I havn't met you, I don't think Edited September 3, 2005 by Judius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Definitely take this up with the elders. Volo would be the man to see about this when you can catch him. He's a slippery one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ribs Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Not "officially" in the guild yet. I've seen some of the Clan inside AD, but they looked like they were busy at the time. Right now I'm in the learning phase (like, "why does every alliance character gank me ever three seconds? Because I had turned on my PVP flag not realizing you have to turn it off again...found out only after a couple hours of...excitement). Been spending most of my time around the Crossroads and the small village south of it in the Barrens, gathering materials to practice tailoring. My other characters are all under 10th but if anyone has a lowbie pc they want to run through stuff, I'm game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judius Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) Tell me your dudes name, I have a priest at that level, and I'm always happy to hop on my 60 to gank whatever it is you need.\ Try contacting me in game sometime today on Judius, Kor, or Ikdu. I'll most likely be on Kor or Judius. Edited September 4, 2005 by Judius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ribs Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 My main is Lezjeck, my troll priest is Threehand, and I also have Fallsfar, Greyfang and Timtim. Hopefully the wife will abscond with the kids tommorow leaving me a large window for WoWing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marjaan Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Definitely an issue to think about, and I'm sure Volonazra will post here as soon as his whole moving-insanity dies down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
