*pops in with a tip of the day*
You can actually make poison potions instead of night sight potions and apply them to your dagger.
It still only takes one reagent, you can make and apply them faster than you can drink night-sight pots, plus you GM poisoning at the same time!
NEATO!

Plus making NS im sure your trying to drink as you make(which makes your gains slow cause im sure you run out of bottles).....1 bottle 1 dagger a shit load of NS is all you need to gm alchemy. I myself am already gm posioning while my alchemy is at 75. poisoning is fast i started with 55 alcehmy and was gm posioning by the time i was 70 alchemy using this method.

Take your time. There's no rush to GM everything. Try some of the mini-games in the Casino, go hunt, etc.
This ignored section of my post was what I meant to be the main message.
True there is a lot of other things to do.. But I would bet the majority of the players are here for pvp and it's hard to have a competent pvp system without the craftable items + scrolls + pots etc. There is still virtually no pvp ever and the server has been open for a month now (give or take a few days).
I'm a bit disappointed that there hasn't been any going on and that staff haven't hosted anything to encourage it. There are a lot of things that could be done... That black guard event.. Small tournaments for gold.. Or even go another step and have everyone make alternate characters that get skills set and are given equipment so everyone is equal.. Then do a tourny or something like everyone is thrown into a house full of traps and have to duke it out, last one surviving wins etc... The list goes on. If staff need ideas for events like that i would be happy to help.. I have seen my fair share and even created a few.
Edit: Also just want to say that i'm not trying to bash the staff as i think they are doing a great job so far. I know they have put in effort to create quests for players that also have decent rewards. Speaking for just myself though, I really don't have much of an interest in killing npcs, it's just not why i play. If i wanted to kill npc monsters I would play a newer MMO where the satisfaction of killing also comes with leveling up

It's gonna be pretty sweet for PVP though if you manage to GM Smithy before another rival guild.
Or Bowcraft even.

The Black Guard event is nearly done. I just have to add an item to the scripts that can be used as a currency (the special item that the guards drop). Though I suppose I could start sooner and just add items that are renamed to look like the currency then replace them later.
I don't know how to do the Black Guard event though. I don't know how to PVP for beans, so I think I'll end up opening up an application for Black Guards to players. About 3 should be enough.
I'll have to test to see if the Capture the Flag and Color Wars event stones are still working. If they are, I'll start hosting those more often.

Thanks.
I'm mostly focused on adding in-game quests, areas, deco, and events and am trying to find ways to make it more fun/rewarding.
You make a good point though, and I'll try to start doing more PVP based events, though I'm pretty terrible at hosting tourneys.

For the black guard event I would recommend keeping who is a black guard secret. Also giving them some sort of story to go with so they can RP makes it more fun for everyone. Just throwing out a few ideas. If you would like to talk about it more just give me a PM and I will try to help ya out however i can.

Eru is determined to make the Black Guard event 10x more complex than it needs to be, so give it another year or three. Also, don't make a currency for this or I will slap you, Eru! We already have seven or maybe 8 currencies on the shard, any more and I will have to script wallets and purses.

I'm hoping you have the black guards on a rotating basis, to give everyone who wants to play them the opportunity.

I'm thinking of doing precisely this. I have made a couple accounts that are set up as Black Guards and I could just change the password and give it out to whoever's online that day. The number that will attack will be based on the online numbers and activity.
