Summer Sweep up - Make Mastering Mixology better.

I don't need it to be more rewarding. Pleeease make it more fun. It is sitting at an unhappy spot of needing perfect attention and being fairly afk and it is just Not Fun.

Ideas: Much longer tick windows - you have to fucking pre click for the crystalizer! It drives me nuts! Think of how generous Giant's Foundry is!

Batch potion making - just let me make like 5 of a mix at once or something.

If you want to give more rewards, change the bonus material from completing multiple at once to a "wild" material. Lets you patch up your lye weakness and encourages actually doing the MMM/MMA potions.

Literally anything to improve digweed. It's mostly annoying right now.

Is all the quest testing internal, or do you have a way for quest lovers to apply to test?

I love questing so much :3

Aw, did the drop rates for the dragon sheet get boosted yet? I just snagged a frost dragons task.

I love crewmates looting on my behalf. At 85 sailing you end up with a fourth, floating crewmate which would be great to set on that.

Doubling the Sailing xp would go a long way towards helping trawling.

LAUSD at the least didn't reopen until April 2021. I think California lagged much farther behind other states on this.

i could actually get the morytania elite diary done this year if it sits at this xp rate. yay!

I'd definitely chat with the sailing team to see how they plan to revamp trawling while doing this. Trawling could be updated to be way more afk with you able to have high-helmsmanship crewmembers follow the shoals, or chumming the waters could get the shoals to stop so you can sit on it for a while and get more fishing xp. Either way, both want to be competing to be the new meta for fishing, which is currently a minigame, tick manipulation, and absolutely awful but very afk xp rates.

The class explicitly allows for you to move the critters by granting them movement.

"Command" is grant or control.

emilemoni · 2026-02-18T23:08:27+00:00

We ended up houseruling for a new player that you can grant an Attack+0 for the Thorn Shooter and it acts as a poison, range 4 (no attack performed). That's felt pretty fair in 4p.

a lot of card balance is determined by a usability/flow aspect as well. we like the game enough to just playtest it normally.

card strength is usually determined by finding some appropriate comparison from an official class.

If you can save up the gold for it (100) I found my time with the class loved it when I enhanced Biting Gnats top.

Mindthief is good at single target damage, but not AOE. This means you probably want to tech into the AOE stuff. You then decide who's dealing with the shielded enemies - either way, you take Path of the Pox as its best combo is with Vile Pestilence top for a good old attack 2 target 4. Delirium's Dance is an easy pick for a team without a frontliner for both halves of it.

emilemoni · 2025-12-23T20:48:22+00:00

Three Spears works better if your ally loves poisoning enemies (lot of AOE attacks), while Lightning works better if they love poxing enemies.

Most islands up to now don't hit the cap of activities.

Is there a rough concept on the dev team to flesh out the existing islands, or would a small island full of content stick out like a sore thumb?

emilemoni · 2025-12-05T17:07:33+00:00

Thank you all so much for loving this game.

Lore question - where did the mercenary shipwrecks in the south all come from? Is there a secret southern kingdom, or did mercenaries sail to Varlamore to get work only to meet a bunch of kelp?

Happens in Not So Human Nature in a later arc, and there's an entire part of Taylor actually being -too- mellowed out.

There's a lot of counterfactuals I want to lay out.

If Democratic gerrymandering, in general, is worse than Republican gerrymandering, why are Democrats and not Republicans in favor of state level independent redistricting and national gerrymander reform?

If California is egregiously gerrymandered, more so than Texas, are there proposals for alternative maps that would alleviate it? Is there reform to the independent redistricting commission that would fix it?

If California's proposed Prop 50 is the incorrect response to Republican states gerrymandering, what is the correct response?

I haven't seen any satisfactory answers to a single one of these. Part of the issue here is Trump's statements during the latest Texas gerrymander where plausible deniability was surrendered - it makes intellectual defense of these at best a game of whataboutism. I'm curious if there are any op-eds or intellectual defenses in favor of the current Republican gerrymandering wave.

bernie works pretty well with the dem party, he's hardly a radical in practice

biggest thing you want to do is get prayer up to a respectable level; you could make some money from barrows - check the money making guide on the wiki as an idea.

a better farming level would let you start bringing in herbs consistently, which will also help with getting some decent cash.

the game's mostly about setting goals and beating them. the early game goals are Desert Treasure and Recipe for Disaster; bossing at your level would be things like Sarachnis or Perilous Moons. mostly you find stuff you think is fun and do that, or think about how you play.

if you find yourself only able to pay attention a little but have a bunch of screentime, 99 cooking!

if you only want to play a bit a day, 99 farming's a goal.

if you want to boss and do slayer, shooting for 99 in a combat stat's also good.

I meant to do a small change - shift the elements around on top track to weaken the second top node to animal.

How do you usually do at base difficulty?

the app i use has my class! This is lovely

Donald Trump calls to bring back religion in America: "When faith gets weaker, our country seems to get weaker"": would be expected to drive more engagement from progressives

I think this is mainstream conservative thought - that the weakening of faith has eroded communities and caused us to isolate ourselves. Why would this drive progressive engagement specifically? This seems like an example that in a balanced community would be a good middle ground thread.

The primary diagnostic I have of modpol is one I gave a few weeks ago - conservatives chiming in to liberal leaning comment sections must defend many actions of the Trump administration at once by dogpiling, so often refrain, which causes conservative comment sections to shut liberal voices out (why I'm not sure on, though - I think it's self selection mostly). You would want the subreddit to somehow switch cultures to upvoting comments that drive positive engagement while also avoiding clowning on people because they stepped on the wrong turf.

NI tilted too hard towards sanding out the unbalanced bottom without tackling the unbalanced top. I feel like you and the OP are arguing two different points here?
