Welcome to the next round of beta testing (v.12).
Two weeks into Age of Reason and everything is progressing quite nicely.! This release is all about crafting and everything that goes with it including a personal inventory and the addition of skills.
You will receive two boxes:
- [AoR] Beta Test v0.12 - Meter & HUD sent from the support group
- [AoR] Beta Test v0.12 - Crafter Kit sent from Rousseau
To get started:
- Attach the Meter (use Add )
- Attach the HUD (use Add)
- Detach / Attach the Meter
- Detach / Attach the HUD
Use /9title Title to reset your chosen title.
HUD Changes:
- The I (information) button has been renamed to N (needs)
- The display of Coins has changed (it's still static). Mouse over of Coins has the same function
- BAG will give you the list of items in your AoR inventory and allow you to transfer items to other members
- SKILL will give you the list of your current Skills
Not included in this version (but on the HUD "to-do" list) are: resizing, toggling between IC/OOC, detaching HUD & Meter, and the display of coin balance.
We are delighted to welcome back our trusty NPC merchant, Myriam. It took quite a bit of convincing to get her to come and work for us but she's now happily settled in the QH [AoR] Market, ready to purchase ingredients that you have crafted. She is willing to pay you 90% of the wholesale price.
The new Pioneer Kit includes 4 sacks of flour. Flour can also be purchased in the QH [AoR] Market.
You may wish to SELL at least one bag of flour to Myriam. This will help test the sale process and get you familiar with selling items.
You should LOAD at least one bag of flour into your inventory to get it initialized. Note that your BAG comes preloaded with 8 units of Flour and 8 units of Water. Touch BAG to see the contents.. These ingredients will be used for crafting. A loaf of bread, for example will require 4 units of Flour and 2 units of Water.
The SECURITY option allows the owner to indicate those that can LOAD the ingredient to their inventory. The default is Community.
For your baking pleasure, ovens have been installed in the QH Kitchen and there is one working recipe, "Bread". Once we have completed testing them as a group ovens will be made available to everyone and more recipes will be added.
Look for the "✪✪✪" symbols denoting active [AoR] objects.
The [AoR] Crafting system draws all ingredients directly from your inventory. There is no need to rez or touch any items besides the crafter itself. If you do not have enough of any given ingredient, the system will inform you and stop before anything has been withdrawn from your inventory.
Skill Points are earned for each item crafted. Touch SKILL for your current skill list including up-to-date Skill Level and Skill Points (sp).
You will need 10 skill points to advance from Level 1 (unskilled) to Level 2 (apprentice).
Crafting time depends on your skill level.
- Level 1 - 2.0 minutes
- Level 2 - 1.5 minutes
- Level 3 - 1.0 minute
- Level 4 - 0.5 minutes
Many thanks for playing along with us. At this early stage there are sure to problems to solve but we can enjoy identifying and fixing them. Just think of all the great stories we'll have to tell about "the good old days" of beta testing!
