Mixing 101

Great news, and thanks for the explanation. This wasnt the only legacy software that stopped working, so I am currently back on Win or LNX, where stuff still works, but in due time I will get the new client.
Thanks.

I updated my Mac today to Catalina and EL stopped working.

A quick suggestion for keeping track, make an inv list with the items you need to break. As you break them, remove them from the list.
I do this for the more advanced items too, makes it easy to load up those that still need to be broken.

I strongly suspect the root of your problem is that you entered the game in ch 6 and not in ch 1, which is the proper channel for TRULY NEW players and which generally has TRULY HELPFUL players in it. If you start out in ch 6, and show playing prowess but lack of knowledge, the obvious assumption is that you are a returnee who has come back after several years. Considering your post, this does not apply, but as a former moderator, I can assure you that you are a very very rare exception to that rule then.
Channel 6 is the way it is because anyone who doesn't like the chat in there and still plays, and this includes the majority of players In know actually, are in a guild or other channel, so only the antisocial rabble are left in there.
Your comment on scamming demonstrates you are indeed a new player, otherwise you would have realized this was an immediate consequence of the personality of the game owner, radu (entropy in forum). The game, and sadly the community in ch 6, mostly reflects his attitude and not that of the majority of the players.
I have worked in ch 1 trying to welcome and educate new players for years, sat countless hours on IP trying to teach android players how to talk. I used to run contests and invasion for new players, only to find that most of them were alts taking advantage of my efforts to collect stuff, especially after the rule banning players to have their alts interact was removed. I eventually gave up on being a moderator, because of the nature of how the game is run, which is not fair but preferential; a few of radu's favorites, some of them whales, rule the game. The rest of us get muted or worse for speaking out mind, so we stopped giving feedback and trying to improve the game.
In spite of this, I am still here, playing my char and sometimes even chatting in ch 6. I have made many friends, from all over the world.
I am sorry you got burned like this, since EL, in spite of all its faults, is the only game of its kind I know that I can play on low end Win, Mac, Linux, and Android devices. It also has a very nice community, hidden away in guilds and some language-specific channels.
I hope you have found a place.

Sounds like fun, interesting podcasts so far.
Count me in.

If it is blocking it because of the port used, then using a proxy can solve that.
I can't think of any other reason why the provider would block it.

Nice idea, might finally be able to dress fashionable again

Completely random spot on any map that is allowed.
Impossible to spawn-sit, period.
Cool, that would make hunting fun.

radu posted the code:
Quote[radu @ 6]: if(what_random_day==RD_DAY_OF_SUN_TZU) { if(my_rand(100)<50)
Since I have no idea what my_rand does, it is impossible to know if time (or astrology) has any impact.

I was planning to do a week of celebration with the day stones I had collected, but will no longer play and thus the event is cancelled.
I am selling the following day stones and will add some other items later. Make an offer here or send a mercator message. I will not sell to the highest bidder if I don't like the offer. This is not an auction. If you need something particular, send me a message and I might have it and be willing to sell. Do not expect a quick response, busy IRL.

The panther seems to me a good one for the lightmodifier.
Another idea perhaps:
More grief - Increase the chance to shred your clothes/armor (poofs on breakage)

I don't like the idea to make the route to Hydro pk. While it might solve some inequalities, it makes it even harder for non-top chars to try and do the harvest or Novac quest on this map. When the route was designed, it was hard, due to monsters and pk, but not undoable. You could ask for help from a fighter or just try and go at some unpopulated hour. After rule 5 was removed, it became all but undoable, except for a few people. This has caused much frustration, even from people who only need/want to go there once. Why not give these people a solution that allows them to do it, without a lot of changes that affect way more than just the regular harvesters. The snake tokens are a nice addition, but a bit steep for a char who wants to do it one time, since it adds up to about 27k gc at current prices, IF you can get them, which requires owning a bot.
I would like to refer to an earlier thread I made about hydro ring economics and suggest again to sell it in the shop, much easier solution and bound to bring in $$.

Wont make it more attractive than buying bars from NPC, since the latter is still cheaper, so it won't break the economy.
With access to hydro, the economy might actually get a boost again, creating a market for s2e and ingredients
-
It is simply not economical; anyone who could survive the trip can get more value from killing monsters and collecting drops. Even harvesters that make the s2e from scratch and thus have 'free' swords can earn more by just selling the coal, fe and iron.
None of the new options have improved the economics, buying bars in Melinis is still more economical that any scheme of harvesting hydro ore yourself, except for muling on no drop day, then you just need infinite patience walking back from the UW.

Are alts supposed to be played, or can they used as a 'living' signpost?
-
-
you can simply add an item to the list recipe by dragging it from inventory and then dropping it in with the control key
This option has been available from the start

Harvesting alts stationed at hydro or pear locations
also shopping alts, storage alts, virtual hyperbags, stocking alts etc etc
Not sure how you can station alts at pear locations, since it can be pretty much any harvestible in any map. And no sure why would you station your alt at hydro, since the problem with hydro is the swords, not the char.
The other alts you mentioned, I don't have a problem with.
There are several maps with only a few harvestables, which are sometimes hard to get to. These maps are generally not checked with a pear finder but the few harvestables are simply harvested. I have seen alts log in in these maps in the past, when I was there to harvest at the start of the new day. I havent searched pears in a long time, maybe they stopped doing that.
With respect to harvestables. A char that can make the swords and harvest the ore needs several pickpoints in (harvest and manu) nexus, they will not be the strongest fighters, the fighters that can get to the hydro without much problem don't have the nexus to harvest, so they bring the swords and have an alt at the ore to harvest. This alt can go there on no drop or peace day, armed with a pickax. This is not hypothetical but is being done.

It would be nice to
- get xp in the crafting skills instead of a/d
- get a bonus if you make it yourself (in front of the NPC, your item poofs and is considered handed in) A new mechanism like this requires you can hand it in one by one, which will require programming so is not going to happen
- have it be less predictable, so a generic mixing daily, rather than one specific to a single mixing skill
- have the item (and thus xp) depend on the level of the quester, so no silver ring at craft 100
- finally get something for the mixers, that rewards them for their effort

One control missing in the video is the minimap, which in this interface also does not have an icon on the bottom row. Double tap in the upper right to activate it.
