Something new?
Magnolia
The path curves around a large magnolia tree, almost forty feet high.
It is covered with large white flowers, which emit a strong, sweet scent.
The path is edged with stone blocks, possibly in an attempt to stop it
from slipping down the slope toward the sea.
A large rolled up ball of leather rolls on the ground...It glows red!
A magical contraption, the shadowgram, floats just above the Magnolia.(invisible)..It has a soft
glowing aura!
A large note dispenser, with a button on the top, is here against the wall.
A large bulletin board is mounted on a wall here.
A large fountain is here gurgling out an endless stream of water
A sailor in filthy clothing staggers and nearly falls beside you.
read shadowgram
The shadowgram, a tiny one-way portal, has been created and placed here by Longshadow and
Moonshadow, the two most powerful shadowmasters, to access the mortal planes of being. The
portal is fed through a channel of shadow energy, and while only the sanguineous shadowmasters
are able to use it, it appears possible to trace back the energy flow and invade its source. Magical
runes glowing on each side of the shadowgram promise a painful death to anyone brave or foolish
enough to disrupt the harmony
of the mysterious Shadowlands.(invisible)..It has a soft glowing aura!

Thanks for the info guys, but I need a little more...
Like what is the actual name of the item? I can locate on it based on the ID info but only if there's on
in the game at the time.
Do we know where it loads, area and/or mob?

here's what I got ...
Apprentice,
Last time you have killed more than just a few valuable specimens of
the human kind, thus causing me to spend energy summoning them again,
and not to mention the awful mess you'd made and the amount of time I
spent cleaning up all that blood, brains and intestines.
Read this document carefully to avoid this happening in the future,
and follow the instructions. Since your level of magical skills may be
insufficient to properly memorize the spell, you may want to store it
in a piece of wood. (I personally recommend fine maplewood, and be sure
to use parchment, not papyrus, as your runes-holder). To strengthen your
mind, care to use the potion of insight (and to keep the effect of the
potion of insight up, use the potion of knitting, too!). As a perfect
example of master scribework, you may want to take one of my masterpieces,
(here ends the first side)
Sincerely,
-Ker_fyp-

a torn page from a note book
There is something written on it:
If one was to take an iron bar made to pry, A pair of boots of a beast,
sleeves with a plaid pattern, and boots of Celtic origins, combined with
some gold charged as a fee, The resulting boots would be radiant.

okay, here's all the forge notes i got
Entry Five
I have heard that Mayor Sir Virdo has come up with a way to make a fashionable and useful head
armor by combining a dragons skull with some type of durable armor. He requires: A tooth from a
dragon, that has been honed and sharpened, to cut through the tough skin of the dragons head.
Two vials of pure alcohol to dissolve any extra tissue. An empty iron pot with a short handle to aid in
the combination of all ingredients. A a mere fee in gold for his services.
A well known blacksmith from Valkyre knows the secret to forging a helm of pure bone. It has been
told that this helm has special powers that can help boots some peoples lives. The helm only
requires a few things that can easily be found around the world.: A helmet fashioned from pure
marble to form the shape, two vials of acid made from some sort of tart fruit to aid in cleansing the
material for magical enchantment, a spike of metal that can be used to strengthen the finished helm,
and one stone of lave used to enchant the helm.
A rumor has been told about the great hunter Orion having the powers to create a sword imbued
with strange magical powers. It is capable of making a warrior even more powerful then they
normally would be. The secret powers lie deep within this book and require several objects to
complete the incarnation. A special cube used for gazing, a sword as black as the nights sky, and a
special chunk of metal that glows brightly may be combined by the magical hunter to create
something very deadly in combat.
Apprentice,

you may want to take one of my masterpieces,

and then you look second and see
the shadow bound scroll, to use as a template. Then, you carefully inscribe the runes upon the
parchment, and stuff it inside the maplewood stick. And you had better concentrate hard. Chisel the
stick respectively, holding the magic together the way I taught you way back then. After you are
done, make sure to bind the parchment with the velvet bonds, which also helps to prevent the
shadow energy leaks.
that's it %)

read moonlit
I pondered over the interesting riddle you had given me. Yes, it appears
possible to control the otherwise random effect of the teleport spell
(which only once again proves the power of shadow magic). To do so, you
should take the spellbook containing the formulae of the spell, add a
green potion there to be double sure. A flux of mana should serve well
as a long last supply of energy. The result of your efforts, a device
I prefer to call a moonstaff, will activate once spun in the air.

Blackmore deserves major cudos for this eq list. I know that i would be lost without my printout next
to me everytime i play. Thanks Blackmore, we all appreciate the work you put into this.

This equipment will probably get thrown into the bottom of the list (above temp) for now, until
there's time to organize it...there's just going to be too much to put a lot of effort in for now.
I actually prefer this, because then we can easily see the new eq that has been added to the list.
Certainly much better than having to examine the whole thing in detail to see what's new.

A new list is coming, but it isn't ready yet. It will allow for search criteria, which will help a lot. It will
also allow you to filter out things like quest or temp eq, and that will cut down on the size.

Incidentally, there's a few more things that will be added to the list, that aren't on valkyre:
granite scroll - light, loads on the good angel in CoP - +dex +5mvs
iridescent shroud - +wis +8 mana, no AC, onbody - pops on an unknown mob
sleeves of pure gold - .6ac +str arms, pops on an unknown mob
As far as we know, the sleeves don't load on any mob in the game - they're ingame statted, but when
they were given out almost 2 years ago, it was said that they loaded on an area that wasn't attached -
so they might not load ingame anywhere, or they might.

Maybe set up a new eq list, as the old one is already growing HUGE!

This new land will contain a LOT of new equipment. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to track all of
it for the list yet, but I'll be connected and logging as much as I can (Blackmore or Hunter will be the
only 2 characters I might be in). I'm sure I'll get a ton of duplicates, but the more I have the harder it
will be to lose things. Even if you just give me an item name and a mob name, I can go back and get
stats later. I would prefer full ID info be either sent by email (blackmore@surly.org) or submitted
through the web page. If you like, tell me when I'm on what the item name is, and who it loaded on,
and then submit the item to the web page - then I can tie the two together.
What it comes down to is that stuff is going to get lost, and there's going to be a lot to track, but if I
have as complete of information as possible I should be able to make the list as complete as possible.
I'm going to try to update the list daily, but I can't always sit down every day to update the files, and
Zera won't have time to post the list every time I send it. Be patient, it's all going to get up
eventually, one way or another.

Attention one and all!!!
Several great and powerful beings have teamed together to create a new world high above the
normal mortals place of being. It is located somewhere between the continents of Thordfalan,
Thule, and Niebelung. Let it be known that this new land shall forever be known as Valkyre. There
are many strange and mystical types of creatures that have been found to roam around throughout
the land known as Valkyre.
As you may have noticed, strange new types of transportation have been seen around the towns of
Aisholm, SettleStone, and Bal-Harbor, these are the flying birds that can transport you from any
major city to the new and unexplored region of Valkyre. You will be required to obtain a special
ticket (a rainbow-colored festival ticket) for a festival and celebration of the opening of Valkyre
from either Blaster, Dot, or Enea between now and time of the opening. These tickets will be good
for travel to Valkyre, but once that ticket has been spent, you will not be allowed to leave the new
place until the the boats start to accept the normally required boat ticke (an ether-coated ticket), as
that is the only tickets that will be sold. You will have 4 hours from the time the flying birds start
taking the special ticket, to run around, explore, and have fun on Valkyre. During this time, there
will be ways to win prizes, and new equipment. *Warning* This is for only those who are at less
then experienced magic users or less then experienced clerics, or less then experienced thieves,
or less then experienced warriors may use this item. Level 20 and under only!! Feel free to make a
new character or log on your old low level character to receive your ticket.
We would like to invite one and all to come and explore this new land first hand as it opens
sometime between the days of Friday, January 18th, 2002, and Sunday, January 20th, 2002. The
actual time and day of opening is not for sure at this time. Although we can tell you it will fall within
those dates.
Sincerely,
The Mayor Sir Virdo
