Valhalla Lost

I bought a pair of Indy short pants of lumberjacking. These things are seriously ugly especially on a female. I was trying to merge them with another pair of pants or something else and it would not allow me to. Now, since I have seen other buff/bonus items that have been merged with named items, I am assuming that you can merge things other than armor and/or weapons and hats/helmets. In Folksvang there is a shirt that is for sale on a vendor. It is an “a durable I played with Thaizi and it hurt fancy shirt of camping” or something like that.

I have tried merging the shorts with several different kinds of leg-wear. When I double click the mana stone I get a target cursor and a message that says “Select the magic item you want to use this on (This item will be destroyed):”, I target the shorts then I get another target cursor and a message that says ”Select the non-magic item (this item will become magical):”. I have tried leather leggings, fancy long pants, fitted pants under the new items menu and I either get no message at all or would get the message that said “Can’t transfer magic between those two items”.

I even tried merging them with a masterpiece tailored item. The message that I got that time was “that’s magical too” and it would not merge the items. If masterpiece items are magical is there anyway to find out what the bonus or attributes of the masterpieces are?

Someone please tell me that these can be merged with something other than another pair of short pants. I think the “shorts” are just plain ugly!!! I was hoping to merge them with a pair of masterpiece leather leggings that I have that are called Gardening Pants.

Does anyone have any ideas or advice or perhaps an answer to this?

Thanks

The only way to merge things together is with a mana stone. As of yet, the mana stone only merges shields and staves. I know it's on the list of things to be improved, just a matter of time I'm sure. So hang on to them and suffer with the rest of us, hopefully soon there'll be a change!

You can only change the gender of a chest piece or fortify a hat. Other items cannot be changed. Manastones will only work with magic staves onto a lich/druid staff or a shield onto a order/chaos shield. The Thiazi item you found on a vendor is a GM-created item. It cannot be changed. As far as I know, there are no plans to change this.

Some people name masterpiece items as indy of such and such, but they are not magical, they are simply named masterpieces.

Masterpieces have a AR bonus but no magical attibute included.

Thats why some have MP armour set for there AR bonus meaning or for deco.

Masterpieces are always tagged as being Masterpieces (example: Gardening Pants [Masterpiece]). The shirt that I saw in Folksvang is a GM created item I understand that. I am trying to figure out how was it combined/merged with a shirt of camping, if those types of things are not able or meant to be combined/merged? I have a Thaizi shirt as well and it is only a shirt, it does not have any magical properties or give any kind of ar bonus when I put it on. It is nothing more than a fancy shirt that was colored and renamed by a GM but the properties themselves were never changed. I have no problem with anyone having the shirt or any other kind of item like this I was just curious if it was done by a player and if so how.

I have seen players wearing/using other items that are not staves or shields or fortified headwear that have been combined. I have seen masterpiece robes combined with magical robes, masterpiece sash combined with magical sash. The magical attributes are always in parenthesis like they are on the headwear so this tells me that they were player created items that were somehow merged with magical items.

If only staves, shields and headwear can be merged with mana stones then the manual needs to be updated because it is not worded or even implied that only staves and shields can be merged.

QUOTE FROM MANUAL
"Mana stones can be used to merge magical items with unique, nonmagical items. The items have to be similar in nature, like shields for shields or black staves and Druid/Lich staves. To merge the items use the mana stone on the magical item and then pick the target item. The magical item and mana stone will be detsroyed and the mundain item will take on the properties of the magical item.

Again, the items have to be of similar nature. You could not use a magical sword or quarter staff to make a magical druid/lich staff."

Nowhere does this state that it ONLY works with staves and shields, it only uses those items as an example.

If the mana stones are not working the way they were intended and the script is being worked on then I can completely understand that, but if that is not the case and they were never intended to work in this fashion then the manual needs to be updated so that players (especially newbies) know what is and is not do-able.

Hello Charok.

I have seen the Thiazi shirts you spoke about. At one point they were given out as magical shirts for people to indentify from a quest/raid.

I have to say I have not seen masterpieces that have been combined. I have seen some people make masterpieces and name them as if they were magical. I am sure they exist though. Just as I have seen people have GM colored magic gear. Just yesterday there was a discussion over an item that was colored, seems that person had a color certificate from years ago that was earned from an event. I have also won a chance to name an item. So perhaps that is the case? I am not sure.

As for the mana stone, yes the manual needs to be updated because it is certainly true that mana stones can only be used on staves and shields. And you can not even use quarter staves. those don't count.

I, personally, think we should be able to change some magical items for the same slot. Robe for a dress etc...

Thanks,

Morg
