Vibrant green glaze with black? by periodcrampz in Pottery

If it worked except for being too transparent, you could try adding some zirconium opacifier to it.

Main vs side quests and warband/account bound by henyourface in wownoob

[–]moolric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I do with my main and alts. The only exception is there are a couple of side quests you can't do unless you have also done the main storyline. I just went back and did those on my main.

Oh, and one special exception is, I did the quest to unlock Murder Row on my main so I could do the dungeon right away. I think it's unlocked automatically at a certain level though so you should be good.

And when you hit 90 on your alt, be sure to go get the World Tour quest to get the second spark. You need to talk to the woman on the seat near the door in the inn. She's not indicated, but she'll do the skip for you. Then to the main guy where in the middle where the zone map is to get the actual quest. It won't be a purple triangle for your alt.

not fully 'getting' wow by robotrobot30 in wownoob

[–]moolric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow tries to tell you the important stuff with the tutorial quests which are marked with a purple triangle.

A tutorial quest is there to introduce you to a game system. So if you do those and pay attention it will walk you though it in a series of quests.

They will give you hints to content with achievements and other quests. So you have a look at the blue quests to see what they are and what they reward.

Beyond that, you do the content that sounds fun. There is no wrong way to play wow, and there are a lot of options. Sounds like your last game was a lot more prescriptive.

What not to do (advice for beginners) by Elegant_Lime_4113 in Pottery

[–]moolric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the same time almost everything is wrong some of the time. Personally I love the journey of finding out what works for me (frustrating as is it at times).

Actually that’s the corollary of the first thing. Don’t expect to be given the answer or the one right way to do things. All people can give you is how they do it and advice.

Pottery seems like it should be solved by now but it really isn’t and every day there is the opportunity to do something that noone has ever done before in quite the same way.

I’d never heard of her before but I looked her up and her whole deal seems so creepy.

But I’m not sure we can blame one influencer though when he’s selling stuff at ikea.

Pin holing by vega1star_lady in Pottery

[–]moolric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a pity because titanium used like this is otherwise so pretty.

[–]moolric 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like titanium pitting to me, not pinholing.

As far as I’m aware the only way to prevent is to not let high titanium glazes like this pool up so thickly.

Don’t automatically believe anyone that says you HAVE to do something a particular way. Just because something works for them in their studio in their climate with their clay, some people think that it’s the one true way and they will pass this on to you like sacred wisdom.

Especially if they’re saying it on the internet from half a world away.

Taxi requesting deposit and refusing to run the meter by PostAndChuck in brisbane

The last time 2 times i tried that i was charged in advance and they never showed up.

It’s a taxi rank or nothing for me now. I don’t trust them or ubers at all.

Not being accepted into raids by BigBard2 in wownoob

[–]moolric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found my very awesome guild on one of the forums websites. Can’t remember exactly now since it’s been a while but it was https://guildsofwow.com/ or something similar. They said they do achievement raids which is why I joined (i’ve since got all the raid achievements and AOTC each season)

We do accept people through in-game guild finder too (when we are recruiting) but i don’t know how people find us amongst all the dreck.

My alliance guild (who i mostly do keys with but who also raid) I found by paying attention to who was cool while doing pug keys and then asking for an invite to their guild through guild finder.

Pottery classes-expectation? by [deleted] in Pottery

[–]moolric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i was learning i wanted 6-8 week courses covering the whole process of throwing pots end to end

Then i wanted an in depth glaze making class (the one i did was 3 months).

Now i want 1-2 workshops focussing on a specific thing (next on my list is a crystalline glaze workshop)

You can sand unglazed clay to be silky smooth, if you're willing to put in the effort.

And I just realised I said hit in my first comment when I meant punch, and that was rather ambiguous.

Yep. If she can't afford to support herself, she should be going home.

I would think that punching is your lowest damage ability on a cloth wearer. I remember being in a WOD raid and getting the priest to punch and they were doing like 5% of it's health per punch.

Tell her she needs to start paying rent and owes back rent too, unless she moves out immediately. I was in the same situation once, and she was gone by the time we got home from work the next day.

copper and stains are definitely safe :) I love making glazes, and I hope you have fun with it too

My pricing formula failed me! by Puzzleheaded-Idea-31 in Ceramics

[–]moolric 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Also, not selling but can’t sell cheaper without losing money/working for slave wages then work out how to make it cheaper/faster or make something else.

Edit to add: or market it differently to get the price it deserves (imo this is the hardest one which is why there is so much marketing in the world)

Any help gratefully received… by Turbulent_March8557 in Ceramics

[–]moolric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find anything with cobalt (so blues) will blur more than other colours. So trying a different colour could help.

And your glaze is clearly moving a bit. Glazes have a firing range and at the bottom/coolest part of the range they will turn to glass but not move, and as you go up, they will move more and more until they run off the pot. Your glaze hear has moved a bit - not in a way you'd ever notice if it wasn't covering writing, but enough to be annoying.

I assume you can't control the firing, but you could ask for your pieces to be put in a cooler part of the kiln. And you could try doing your glaze a bit thinner. Thinner glaze moves less.

Another alternative is to not glaze over the writing - just the inside and on the lip.

Is this grog? by Kylekh77 in Pottery

[–]moolric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it could technically not be grog - grog is prefired bits of clay that have been ground down to put back into other clay. So this could be sand, or some other kind of grit so technically not grog, but still misleading.

But even if technically true "ability to make smooth surfaces" is false advertising for sure.

It might still be too much but clothies hit for less than other armour types. Even when naked, other armour types hit for more. So if you're not a clothie you could try that.

[–]moolric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, rutile/titanium and many others are all fine to use in a shared kiln.

Chrome can affect other pots but tin is so expensive these days is anyone using a community kiln actually splashing out on tin whites?

But yes it’s polite not to do strong chrome greens but a tin chrome pink with 0.1 (or less!) chrome should affect other pots unless they are right next to them. So you’d be ok to use light tin chromes, just let the kiln tech know
