PotatoEngineer

1) Pleased to be of service! 2) Rock on. If we don't spot each other on IRC, you can drop them at the Official Guild Donation Alt in the Wyrms Guild (3 north of the fire shrine) if you've got some ABPO bows burning a hole in your inventory. 3) Palantir'd. 4) I only sometimes want to kill things en masse---it's useful when you're hunting a particular type of monster, and want to clear out its terrain so it has more chances to spawn. I like my XP, anyway, and I'd soon be over the lets-you-pass-XP for the monster in question as I slaughter more beasties. And Ghastly Blings are pretty cheap---5 cruel blades, 8 mana, and a Bling Bling. The blades are fairly cheap, I have scads of mana from my Wizarding days, and I have a decent stash of Bling^2 for my crafting needs. I also value my AP more than my GP.

Durkon

Your HAS order is ready. Let me know when and where you'd like to meet to trade goods for money+raw materials. -- Durkon 01:17, 10 August 2008 (BST)

Billz8

I saw your post on the Trading page and can fill a lot of your needs. I want a fruit cake for Brian. Can you help? Billz8 22:05, 29 July 2008 (BST)

I'm looking for the whole fruit cake. If you can't get a whole one, then as many ingredients as possible. I have very little. I have large quantities of Triffid Stings, 2 records, dough and olives, and a lot of the mixology stuff to work a deal with. I'm not attached to any of it, I just want the fruit cake. Billz8 19:56, 30 July 2008 (BST)

Yes, I'm still interested. I'm bumming around the desert right now collecting spice--where/when do you want to meet? I won't be around this weekend at all. Also, do you happen to own a winged horsie? If so I'd love to negotiate to borrow him for a bit...I have plenty of food.Billz8 08:45, 6 August 2008 (BST)

I'm going to be sitting at the TP in Earth City for a while if you still want to trade 2 records for a Fruit Cake. Billz8 19:04, 13 August 2008 (BST)

Syagrius

The 5 cucumber sandwiches are actually pretty easy to come by, especially if you grow a whole lot of produce for trading. What's your alignment anyway? Syagrius 04:41, 9 February 2007 (GMT)

As a matter of fact, being earth temporarily could be a boon to you. If you grow sheaves of wheat, you can make all sorts of stuff - or, feed the wheat to a chicken and get eggs (usually high demand) and trade around for the cucumber slices. Syagrius 15:26, 9 February 2007 (GMT)

Oh, and ducks drop magic beans pretty consistantly for me. Syagrius 15:27, 9 February 2007 (GMT)

I would beware of the frozen north unless you've spent the AP to make cold weather gear. The Fire swamp could be fun though. Look into mudmen (for the ancient wood - a very tradeable item). Otherwise, your best shot (as an earl) would be the interior. Hunt Rocs (weakly aligned to you by default) and crocs (neutral to you, alignable to air though). Both their drops (roc rocks and croc scales) are needed to boost your HP, and can be traded for your sandwiches. I'd be wary of the desert until you complete the gauntlet, as the desert will damage you just for walking around (same with the frozen north without cold weather gear). I believe as an Earth person you can grow oats too, which are a new item. Syagrius 03:13, 10 February 2007 (GMT)

Oh, and don't forget to grow stuff on the roads too - potatoes, carrots, and onions could come in handy. Or spend the time to attack sheep with scissors for the fleece/wool. If you have empty jars, attack cows with them (jars of gas are tradeable for those folks going underground). You can also do the Herman the Hermit quest (foraging) as you stand right now. The herbs come in handy (and can also be traded). He's located just outside the NW dragon pass south of Fire city (exact location is on the wiki, just because my descriptive is a little... vague).  :) Do you have the necessary goods to make the sandwiches? You'll need olive oil (doesn't get used up) and garlic for the salad dressing, in addition to the 7 cucumbers. The bread you can make yourself as an Earth person. Syagrius 03:50, 10 February 2007 (GMT)

Now I'm just spamming your page, but this tidbit is important. GET INSURANCE from your home shrine (current alignment). That way, if you happen to die, you don't lose anything but time. Syagrius 03:52, 10 February 2007 (GMT)

• Fishies - Yes, I have a goldfish (Goldy). They aren't terribly good at slaying anything, as they have a 1-in-10 chance of hitting anything. You've got to put it down at your feet for it to attack. Best thing to do is attack a worm with a wand of anger and let the fish kill it. It'll take a bit of ap, but your fish will (should) kill the worm eventually. Be sure to keep feeding your fish - it loses 1% of fullness every hour, on the hour. Hope it helps. Syagrius 20:07, 17 February 2007 (GMT)

Weaponry

Need to know desired to-hit rate. Currently with it set to zero (zero bonus), you'd be looking at about 180 days (plus or minus a little bit) to complete the 3 weapons if I do them one at a time (unlikely). Using the Hammered Anvil's rate of 30gp/ap, you're looking at 501k gp, plus quite a bit of iron to produce them. I don't mind haggling over prices/trades. Syagrius 02:18, 16 November 2008 (GMT)

That helps a lot, and greatly reduces costs -- with that to-hit rate (and again, using the Hammered Anvil rates), you'd be looking at 192750gp and 5956 bits of iron, and about a month and a half (give or take a little, depending on my AP situation). The bits of iron I'd need you to supply, as my supply has greatly dwindled. Again, I don't mind haggling if you don't like the costs or want to trade things. Syagrius 15:56, 16 November 2008 (GMT)

That quote is using the HAS pricing of 30gp per AP spent, and includes one of each weapon requested. Syagrius 16:56, 16 November 2008 (GMT)

I just entered the lost world, and will probably be here for a day or two more - I'll let you know when I'm out and can meet up somewhere. Syagrius 18:58, 16 November 2008 (GMT)

Standing right next to you at the Earth City trading post, just outside the party. Syagrius 01:53, 17 November 2008 (GMT)

Received 4960 Bits of Iron and 91150 Gold Pieces - leaving 996 bits of iron and 101600gp. Both can be paid upon completion of the weapons. I'll contact you then :) Syagrius 02:44, 17 November 2008 (GMT)

Stelio

As Syagrius mentioned, if you can get hold of Sheaves of Wheat then I would very happily trade all kinds of stuff with you. :-) My inventory is open for viewing. Of particular note for the sandwiches, I have Cucumber Slices, Olives, and Bunches of Grapes. -Stelio 23:33, 10 February 2007 (GMT)

Groovy, at the party it is then. I'll make an effort to turn up at some point, and I'll make sure that I've grown enough Olives for you. :-D See you there! -Stelio 22:59, 12 February 2007 (GMT)

So, turning fleeces into knitted garments you say? Well I've done a bit of organising of that kind already, and recently suggested that I'm looking to kick start another such event. what say you? Would you like some help in organising the task load in the most fair manner? :-D -Stelio 20:50, 4 April 2007 (BST)

I've reset the project page for the knitting circle ready for folks to sign up now. We don't actually need specific alignments (anyone can join in, even if they're all of the same alignment) and as many people can join in as are willing. :-) I guess you've been touting for interest at the parties then? Your advertising has been paying off as I've already had some queries from other folk. -Stelio 01:40, 11 April 2007 (BST)

Klingon

I have semi-retired Klingon for some time, but he can still join a sandwich-making group.I have little time at the moment, so i can't organize the group. Contact

jmb

Summoned per request - a little later than you asked, as that would have been the middle of the night for me - and bookbag#2 supplied. Party on.

Hi there... are you done with the bookbag yet? cheers - jmb 15:45, 23 March 2007 (GMT)

Bubba

Hey there, the thing is... in two weeks time, I'll be off to Space. And before that, I have this rather voluminous list of things that I want to get done. I will gladly assist once I come back thou (if you're still interested by then).
P.S. Won't be returning for a while... --Bubba_the_Shy 00:01, 31 March 2007 (BST)

During my last visit, they have been quite worthless. I do intend to try them once more thou, maybe I'll have better luck with them this time. --Bubba_the_Shy 12:50, 4 April 2007 (BST)

Yeah, as long as you have Power Crystals you can keep using your Phaser :) --Bubba_the_Shy 18:16, 22 April 2007 (BST)

Grrrrr --Bubba_the_Shy 23:09, 24 July 2007 (BST)

Conzy

• Mr. Bubbles

Panty Bandit! (because Corellis' goldfish is called Bubbles already. If Bubbles doesn't make it out of Corellis' long retreat, you may have that name. :( -- Corellis

Say, Cor, if you need someboy to take care of your (Mr.) Bubbles during your absence, let me know, <unnamed> doesn't mind the company :-) Else, there are more volunteers at the Lucky Smells Goldfish Kennels. Good luck to you! Conzy 09:20, 14 April 2007 (BST)

Thanks for the Bomb Squad advice, I'll keep it in mind! I am just waiting for our good friend Verckel, who happens to have some bad time growing plums, I am afraid. During my travels, I learned patience, so nothing to worry about :-) Kind greetings, Conzy 11:39, 22 April 2007 (BST)

HAS Business

I contacted you on your palantir concerning your pre-order of a new cabinet. Are you still interested? The price is standard, 30K with our materials, 15K with yours, free with double the materials or any acceptable substitution. Let me know, I will have another one in at most 24 hours from now. vloodo 06:54, 18 April 2007 (BST)

Meet me at the trading post at 2E 96N. I'll be there and waiting, cabinet in hand. vloodo 15:18, 20 April 2007 (BST)

I just realized your request for a custom weapon has still not been responded to, so I want to ask if you're still interested. By the way, durability is a huge cost factor, so if you need help figuring out what exactly you want, I'll be there to help. Rockefellow 09:49, 15 August 2007 (BST)

Scrumbucket

Do you still have spare Ivory? I'm also preparing for the Taxing Cellars so I can't help you with the Cat book or a Water Catana, but I do have spare Shark Fins and Amps. I also have 3 pouches of magic herb if you're still collecting them. -Scrumbucket 21:58, 10 November 2008 (GMT)

I only need 2 pieces. How many amps/herbs do you think would be fair? And where would you like to meet? (I'm about to abandon Cloudland so any of the cities would be convenient for me.) -Scrumbucket 20:58, 11 November 2008 (GMT)

Sadly, I only have 2 spare amps (saving 2 for my own party). Why don't you take a look at my inventory, see if there's anything that might make up the difference? -Scrumbucket 00:28, 13 November 2008 (GMT)

Pet sitting

hi Corellis - I just saw your request on the Lucky Smells Goldfish Kennels page, when will you be requiring your pets to be looked after from and to? I would be quite happy to do it, but I am already looking after heyus's goldfish, so would like to give someone else the chance. If you are stuck though, let me know :) rach Spugmeistress 19:40, 10 May 2007 (BST)

alanda

I'm interested in trading for your acle and also I'm wondering if you might have a Bind Spirit spell in one of your bags? Check my inventory for items you might be interested in. 22:15, 10 June 2007 (BST)

How about my Furious Bow for your 2 Acles and your Nightingstorm spell (which I'll cast at the party, of course)? 22:51, 20 July 2007 (BST)

No worries about the Nightingstorm spell; I think I have a spare anyway. 14:54, 27 August 2007 (BST)

Phw

Hi Corellis. Saw your message on the pet sitting requirements. I've done it previously for another character, so I'm happy to do it for you. My alt, aeroman, can sit (I have a goldfish and horse as well, so I'll be logging in to feed them to) and will exercise them as well if you like. I'm happy to graze the horse if the food runs out.

Phw 05:27, 6 August 2007 (BST)

S. Mackie

The Horsie

So you're back for a few and want to ride the pwny around a little? Mind handing off some food when you bring it back? And, uh, it's hard to give you the horse without much contact info. :) /msgs only work if you stay on for the reply! 09:12, 20 September 2007 (BST)

Well, Galatea (or, if it turns out to be male, Mercer) was born yesterday; its age is counted in minutes for the first little while, so I was able to get an exact minute of birth. Would you like Muffin back with a decent compliment of wheat, along with Bubbles? Or shall I try to hand off the two of them to some other caring person with the same arrangement (theirs until you want them back, which might be a kindly "thanks, never?") S. Mackie 16:32, 27 October 2007 (BST)

I'll move forward, assuming that's "yeah, I'm definitely not here enough, let it move on to a new trusted owner with same deal." S. Mackie 22:25, 2 November 2007 (GMT)

Male! Mercer it is. I've edited relevant and irrelevant instances of that name accordingly. 19:05, 23 December 2007 (GMT)

Che

The Cure

Well, I can do this. Will you provide the syringe, or you prefer I make it? --Che-^T♣ 00:08, 16 July 2008 (BST)

If you provide the syringe, it's just an easy task, only dependant on time, let's say 500 gp if we meet at an easy to reach location. If I have to make the syringe it gets a bit trickier, since foraging in the thieves forest isn't well researched, and I can't be sure on how much AP it will take me to get the ingredients. I'm guessing something around 7500 gp will cover all the expenses, even if I get unlucky with foraging. --Che-^T♣ 00:40, 16 July 2008 (BST)

I have the mats now, will make the syringe soon (foraging turned out to be "unlucky"). now it's just a matter of timing. are you still at the party?--Che-^T♣ 22:52, 17 July 2008 (BST)

ford_prefect

I hear you are interested in hamster breeding :) sorry for the long delay I have just been very busy. Ford_prefect is in water city doing nothing and has one hamster and Hollyhamster is in Oz doing the totems and has many hamsters, I am happy to meet up wherever, it may take a few days for me to get the message and get there but I will do my best to be there on time :) ford_prefect 16:22, 8 November 2008 (GMT)

Thank you for taking care of fluff, I have some hamsters with quick paws but none with anything else as far as I can tell... as for glyphs I am looking for magnesium... ford_prefect 01:37, 13 November 2008 (GMT)

Tiltowait

Yeah, I laid into a couple of manatees and am now way past the point where I can attack glow worms with anything other than some pokie or angry or cruel or ghastly! Live & learn. --Tiltowait 14:12, 14 November 2008 (GMT)
