I had 36k so I self funded and made "Paladis Paladins" as a guild. No way I was going to make a typical goon sounding guild.

You're welcome to make another guild of course. Anyone with 25k to burn can do it and you don't need a party or anything.

Yep, just add Dancing Shade or Alexander DeLarge or Node's character with the weird name and send a whisper to join the guild.

What level is needed to run through the Tower?

Get 4 guys together and do it when you have decent weapon skills (100 I'd say). It's very difficult to quantify what "level" you should be to do any content in the game, just do it when you feel comfortable.

Don't forget, random sales throughout the day. I'm personally waiting for us to get 20% off wings so I can get some clockwork wings for $8 & get all these fabulous prizes

I got a viking rowboat decoration for my house in viking city. Doesn't make much sense since I'm nowhere near the waterfront but ¯\_(シ)_/¯

Also, you didn't do last telethon? You get these clockwork wings (different but still cool)

Keep in mind that crafting+adventuring XP is completely separate so don't avoid crafting because it's not "one or the other"

I guess that applies to adventure and crafting, but I'm thinking of craft specifically.

Is there a way or a place I can see the interiors of the Shingle Village House with Overhang, and the Small Old Keep? I'm trying to decide between the two, and every time I see a player owned one, its locked.

Portalarium sent out an email with R33 notes, and they sound nice. Path of Love stuff is getting the most attention, although Estgard is getting a makeover, as planned. I like how certain areas of the game that are PvP flagged will not be able to be circumvented by playing through Single Player or Friends Online. It sounds like they know the risk of PvP was one of the essentials that made UO great. Although they will allow people to go quickly through these areas, like the teleporter dudes at the passes. Loot is going to be more interesting too. Smashing crates might give you something, high level elves have a chance at dropping elven weapons, bosses have loot.

Pretty impressive stuff. Are releases planned to happen each month? If so, this game is headed in a great direction.

Yep, they've been putting out releases every single month since 2013. Don't think they've missed a single date.

I like it. I think in the long-term it's going to be a good spot to be in. We're a minute's walk from Brittany (so easy access to the Hidden Vale) and Eastreach Gap is only slightly farther, so easy access to Ardoris. Being part of the Valhold/Resolute/HIghvale storyline will also guarantee a pretty regularly flow of traffic for those of us with vendors.

This. I'm not worried about it. I mean, if Central Brittany ever opens up, I'll move but other than that I'm staying.

Where is the key of arcane power in the Tower of the Shuttered Eye? The OP says its in a clickable stone behind one of the statues on the first floor. I can't find it and I hate pixel hunting. I noticed one of the statues has an odd stone on its base behind it, but I can't click on it.

Also these elite skeletal mages are ridiculously difficult.

It's behind the statue near the right end of the statue, don't remember what side of the room it's on though.

HOAs should be a thing. Get rid of rude players, get rid of unsightly properties. Has this ever been suggested to the devs?

I wish they took the approach of giving people "themed properties" which were only usable in designated towns so if you put down a property in Britanny, you'd be able to choose between founder/royal/public tiered generic medieval homes, and if you were to go to Ardoris, you'd be dealing with Asian-themed properties and so on.

If the community doesn't want a bunch of airships and lighthouses all over the place, why shouldn't they have some sort of recourse? I know people are only using what they bought for $400 but I'm annoyed by the fact that there's no thematic enforcement whatsoever. These towns would look (and perform) so much better if there wasn't unrestricted assets to whatever assets are in the game.

Speaking of assets, come on. If you're going to sell virtual houses, at least have it be custom made. I can buy all of the "adobe" buildings directly off the asset store for $50 (plus all sorts of environment props/textures/stuff that you'd need to make a game set in the Middle East) yet a single part of that content pack is being sold for $100. These adobe houses don't look like they belong in Shroud anyways.


https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=9085#tab-homes

If I were to redesign the system, backers would get homes according to their deeds and tiers so for example there'd be a benefactor/founder/royal founder medieval lot/village/town/city home and the same goes for the Viking/Asian/Desert themes etcetera. The store would also sell premium housing that would be locked down to certain themes meaning you wouldn't be able to place a Druid tree house in a barren desert. Houses bought with in game currency would be locked in the same way. This way, when you walk into Estgard it looks like a viking village and not a viking village with a bunch of random poo poo everywhere.

I've got a four story row house (standard) with woven Elven houses on the rest of the row. I'm not gonna buy a new house to blend in. But.... If someone wanted to buy me a four story elf house I'd be willing to blend in.

If they designed the system with this in mind from the beginning, you would have gotten an elvish row house. I wish they thought this through in the beginning because when I walk into Estgard, I don't see a viking village, I see a viking village with a bunch of random poo poo thanks to the community lots. I do understand the irony of this since I have an Edelmann home, I just wish they gave me something that would have fit in.

They could still have premium housing, it just needs to be locked down to whatever environment it fits in with.
