Posted June 23, 2013 We’ve now finished putting together a little FAQ-style introductory guide to the new mystical powers and sorcery feature. It’s too long for tumblr, so we have posted it on the website. You can read it here. We’ve tried to give enough information without removing too much of the mystery, so hopefully we’ve done that right. Good luck to all our future sorcerers, arch mages, planeswalkers and everything in between!Also, don’t worry Freedom - we’ll figure out how best to introduce it to your gameplay in the future.View the tumblr article 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks for the overview. There are bugs though. Ghoulio's red cherry is currently impossible to use. We climbed every mountain we could and kept getting the message that he needed to be "closer to the heavens". The parameter must be off, because the requirement for the red tome was nothing like that, and worked fine in a simple 3x3 flat, sanded area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 23, 2013 Also, don’t worry Freedom - we’ll figure out how best to introduce it to your gameplay in the future. Maybe with the Alchemy/Natural substances skill.As I said, I would love to mix stuffs in,a big cauldron laughing like a witch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 23, 2013 if your not high enough try building a tower on top of the highest mountain as tall as you can and try there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2013 Find yourself a higher mountain, it's possible. I'm worried Rolf or devs used only the highest mountain to set the requirement. But imo it should just be at the top of A mountain. The magic mountain probably has a deed on it or is inaccessible to some kingdoms. Kind of contradicts the whole 'anyone can become a wizard, even the lowliest contributor'. I'm sure it's possible, just seems unintentionally difficult. Especially compared to the other ability item that just needed a modest 3x3 sand area that could be created by anyone anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well they kind of cut out a lot of people out when they required a star gem for the staff. Edited June 24, 2013 by squirrels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2013 from the FAQ: virtually anyone on the epic cluster has the chance to become one if they make a real effort. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah. Even if using certain items at the highest peak is impossible for some, they can still learn spells through other means if they win a different valrei item, which is easier to learn from, or arrange a trade with someone who needs that spell. I dont think one should expect to be able to learn every spell anyways... learning just one is supposed to be fairly difficult. To learn them all would probably require the effort of a full time job, or the luck of the irish... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2013 I like it. If a kingdom can't reach an area because its controlled by another it will create cause for warrrrr! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) difficult? come on, how lazy are you. a 3x3 sanded area on a mountain, you really that lazy to travel to a nearby high mountain and climb? jesus. are you really asking for something this simplistic to be changed Edited June 24, 2013 by Postes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chill bro, read slower And not like we're too lazy to try, we climbed 3 different high mountains without it working, hence the confusion whether it does at all Edited June 24, 2013 by Versai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 24, 2013 Luck of the Irish is over-rated. Trust me I know... from my mother's side. So, Purgatory Mountain. Named for a certain pass on Chaos? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2013 I think this is a really great addition to the game, it adds more long term goals even if it's based on luck a lot. But in the end you can just buy the magic books and staffs anyway, just needs some time for the market to fill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2013 But in the end you can just buy the magic books and staffs anyway, Sadly true and plausible. The issue I see, and this doesn't apply just to Home server, but I think it's more likely to happen there is when you give the tomes and token items to Home server not all of them are PvPers, and these are PvP abilities. Many in Home server also don't care for the PvP sometimes, and some may just end up wanting to turn a profit and sell the book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2013 Agreed. Should be elevation only perks not home servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2013 Seems we need to wait another 6 years until freedom gets a finnaly a cool update with sorcerry.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
