This quest dosnt show a message that others are taking the quest if you try to take it and someone else is on it.

Alright,

I completed the Book Quest that is for Arcanists only, and is a one-time only quest.  My first complaint is that for about an hours worth of wandering around in places that no Wizard should try to be alone, you get a mere ~100 xp.  When compared to a notable rogue-ish quest that can get you upwards of 800 for 5 minutes of effort, and which can be done 5 times, something seems a bit off.

Secondly, having completed this quest and the associated ritual, I chose the Upper Planes summoning theme.  Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but according to everything I've read, the Upper Planes are the planes of good.  So why is the Summon 1 a shadow hound (which says in its description that it typically aids devils), and summon 2 a Dretch (again noted in its description as a Tanar'i).  Is the theme messed up?  Not sure how I've ended up summoning demons and servants of devils.  Havent seen what summon 3 is yet, I'll keep you posted once I make the level.

Playing an archer, I am really beginning to hate the fact that its so easy to not notice when you've run out of whatever arrow you're using, and are using your fancy arrows that you are saving for whatever.  If someone can post me a means of selecting which arrow is going to be "next", I will appreciate it, otherwise I will get to the point of this post.

Make a "Bundle of XXX Arrows" object please, that has a one time use that destroys the bundle, and creates x number of arrows of whatever type it is.  Make this "Bundle" object NOT an arrow itself.  This way you can save yoour special arrows until you want to use them, pop them open like those bags of herbs, and use them selectively.

Just noticed that I dont got this.  Main page insists that I should have it.

Asks for 5 gold to let you rest, takes ten.

I mean really people.  We're on an island chain, on the high seas.  Swashbuckling adventure practically writes itself.  We have a ship!  Free resting!  Storage!  We have a cabin boy if you swing that way!

Seriously folks.  Havent you ever wanted to fight pirates?  Find buried treasure?  Explore the high seas?  So many possibilities beyond just grinding Trogs, Harpies, and Orcs all day long.

Find Torvald IG, or Phebe, Finnegan, Tempes, or send us a tell here or in IRC.

Been meaning to mention this for awhile.  The Duergar Sentry either has balls the size of watermelons, or he's fighting with a shield and no weapon or Imp Unarmed Strike.  Maybe he dosnt have Exotic Weapon feat and has been given a Dwarven Waraxe?

Give the boy an Axe!

I am no nub to wandering the server.  I used to spend hours in the machine, in the Sand Caverns, in some of the most dangerous areas of the Underdark.  Wandering the server is one of my favorite things to do, boring as it may seem to some of you.

I have a druid now who has just about as much stealth as a druid can have, certainly more than Sabah who reached twice the level of my current PC and never had a problem in the Underdark, and creatures are making listen checks on me when I am stealthed, and twenty feet down a hall, around the corner.  They come charging down the hall (only I cant see them because of line of sight), round the corner, and the rest plays out as you can probably imagine.  There are just too many critters, with too much AB, sporting too much damage, with too much listen, often with knockdown or Power Attack.

I dont want to be a druid who only hangs around the Ziggurat waiting for the next sending so I can head out in the safety of a group, for some scripted quest.  I want to explore these areas you lads have spent so much time making, without it costing me a respawn and a pile of wasted time trying to get one of you to move said spawns, please.

I've said my bit.

Really needs it's own summoning theme.  It's basically a summoning domain (it gets magic fang and greater magic fang as domain spells, which are only useful to you if you summon things or are multiclassed).  

The standard theme only has a single reptile in the first three levels of summons - I.

I'm thinking various sorts of snakes, stone lizards, and great lizards would fit well.

While you're at it.  Seeing as we've updated the summoning system, why not make it so that Magic Fang and Greater Magic Fang, when cast, add their effect to everything you currently have summoned?  Considering the length these summons last, it wouldnt be overpowered really.

Was on Jergal, and a mummy used some item to summon a shambling dead, whereupon said spawn nearly killed the entire party due to it having 29 AB.

FYI.

Is give growth a chaaaaaance.

Listen, I'm going to keep this short, and probably never look at the post again because I am likely as jaded as anyone right now.

I once got spoken to by several DMs about my personal conduct on the server.  They had noticed that I was prone to building characters, and writing apps such that they were designed to oppose someone, or to tear down something that someone else has built up.  They told me that they would vastly prefer to see me build something of my own, and if it comes into conflict with something someone else had built up, so be it.  I considered it, and upon consultation with some players I respected, decided that they were right and took the advice to heart.

Now, in EFU we had lots of stuff.  Backstory, factions, an "establishment".  EFUA, when it began, really didnt have any of this, and has only grown significantly where it concerns NPC factions and whatnot.

What I want to ask people here is this.  Give characters and groups a chance to build something up, before you immediately start trying to tear them down.  Please?  We're in the figurative desert right now.  Some characters are struggling to try to get something going that will add to the server in some regard.  Why not give them a chance to do so before gunning for them and their work?  More to the point, why not try to build something of your own rather than focusing on tearing away at something someone else is trying to do?

This is not coming from any specific failure I have experienced IG.  Anyone that knows me will tell you that I just dont have the time to try to do much of anything right now.  This is simply the observation of a player who has been here since nearly the beginning, and who would like to see EFUA succeed beyond it's predecessor.

Reptilian Domain makes no sense
Magic Fang as a domain spell?  wtf?
Greater Magic Fang?
You need Animal Companions for either of those to be remotely useful.  Last I checked, Priests dont get those.

Please make a Malarite Summoning theme for Priests of the Beastlord.  I'm thinking something to do with Werewoves and Malar Panthers.

Make it so, or nobody gets cash for christmas this year.

Please make these more findable on merchants.

Noted that magic eaters appeared in the Ziggurat Mythallar room upon casting late yesterday.  Isnt this an underdark only occurrance?

Maybe I just cant find them, but I'd really like the little formatting buttons back here in the forums, when you make a new post.  (The ones that make a highlighted sentence bold, italic, etc).
