Just a thought but it would be nice it there was a named/newbied item you get for gm all 4bard skills. Considering mining gets one and thats one skill vs 4.
any thoughts?

I doubt this will happen, those 4 skills are easier to GM than mining. Although I would like a magic lute that is neon green and caused all who heard my beautiful strumming to explode.
Alright, Im on board. Gimme my lute.

This has been discussed before. On IN1 we had such a reward.
The problem with it here is that every skill can be macrod afk, back in the day you were not allowed to macro provocation. So obviously that was deserving of a reward if you gm'd it.
Here I would say that it isn't worthy of a reward since there is nothing hard or tricky about it. Don't get me wrong I would like to have my old snare drum back but I do not feel like my character would have earned it.

I'm with Father Juan(wasn't mephisto a pk back in the day?)
and true you can macro them all afk but I would say the same time put into gming mining and you wouldn't gm all 4 of them- provo took waaaay to long but its all good

Yeah it won't (at least shouldn't) bother anyone or any mechanics of the game. The thing is, there has to be a line drawn somewhere. I can't say I object to this but in the same sense I can't say it is a good idea.
Pickaxes were added after people mentioned it enough, if this is mentioned enough it my be added as well. So then people will find another item they want newbied and so on. Like I said, a line has to be drawn somewhere.
I really think that newbied items should require some story as to why your character has such a thing. Explain how you obtained it and why it is magically bound to your character. You can actually do this either way and request the item for a rp reward.
Of course after thinking about it... it sure does make retrieving your body a hell of a lot easier if you were to die while hunting. This would allow you to immediately provoke everything along the way... so it would remove a bit of the difficulty.

I loved being a paladin on IN2. You resurrect with your tithing points in your pally book. It's like ressing with regeants
You can heal if you want to retrieve shit, or you can recall get geared up and come back right away.
Man I miss killing all those sucker necromancers.

Never thought about the retrieveing body thing. That would really Help alot. As for people asking for more and more things. Yea, your right, But theres 2 issues within that sense. First, How does everyone else feel about it, in the sense that, Things will always be "added" or "changed". Its how the people feel about these addiditions and changes that matter. if eveyone is for it, Huzzah!, if alot of people say it will change their style of gameplay, then there needs to be a serious reason for why its being changed/added. and #2, When it comes to somthing like this.. (like pickaxes) some people already have all these skills GMEd. which means... They could set everyones skill who's 100 back to 99.9 so theres less stress of going around handing out items like mining).. or .. they'd have to go hand out items to everyone who's already gmed the skill. #2 isn't as important as #1.. but its somthing to consider. Because later on, if someone brings up another "reward".. how many people are we looking at who've already gmed that skill.

I always thought GMing the skill was a nice reward. ;/

Actually... don't you get a newbied instrument if you make a new char with a music skill? I guess that null and voids my fact about this specific reward being able to aid people when they can get it either way.
Smurtle is correct here though. GM provocation is a nice reward by itself.

"ROFLCOPTER, NOOB NOOB NOOB," anyway... I don't know, I'm kinda into this idea, although it does add more junk to the world. I think you'd be off just as well to make a new char with a newbied lute...
Enjoy yoself.
