Edited the parts you pointed out and like you said more than likely more, and can totaly understand now why editing/proof reading is normaly done by someone other than the author.To me having read it so many times it reads ok but to an outside mind they will find the mistakes a lot easier . Myself I cant see them for looking at them now
. To get it spot on it needs an outside influence to pick up little mistake I have missed ( and there will be some because Im not perfect )Edit: Ran it through spell checker again and it picked up a few more grammatical errors these have been changed .

Ok Edited the Story to the best of my ability but I have read it that many times now I proberly cant see the woods for the tree's .
Hope It reads a little better
Thanx lightning

That doesn't matter, I wasn't picking on any English spellings of words..just general typos
ok Ive printed a copy off, so I will sort ( to the best of my abilities ) the grammar and punctuation tomorrow
thanks for the comments helped alot
-
*note, I'm not that great in grammar and editing, so I may also make mistakes, but this sentence rewrite flows a lot better.
Excuse me if your thought I was being funny I wasnt and I appologize for any mistake
On a side note as I have said a differance in spellings between UK and USA most notably colour/neighbours and color/neighbors . Now being microsoft my spell check is American would you prefer spellings in American ?
-
no problem
comment on the spell checker thats a valid point but also remember the differance in spellings
ie: being English i write colour/neighbours while Americans write color /neighbors
but thanks for your comments
(note: spell checker )
And periods equal full stops ? am i correct . < fullstop
Edit: quickly ran it through spell check ( omg I am thick

Conavar sat upon a log. The bark of the tree he lent against felt rough on his back. The rain had all but stopped; now it was just a faint mist giving the forest around him a glistening sheen. If he believed in the Gods he would have prayed to them now, in this moment of stillness and reflection, but any faith he once had was lost, snatched from him like a toy from a child. His mind raced back in time, past the years of training body and soul, past the sadness and despair back to the only time he had been truly happy, back to the face of Amy.
He had been but a simple farmer then. Content to tend his crops in the summer, and share stories and jokes with neighbours around the tavern fire come winter.
Then his life changed on a warm sunny day. During the mid-summer festival he had seen her, standing out from the crowd like a beacon of light, more beautiful than the sun upon a winters morning, her long dark hair framing her pale elfin face. They had danced that night under the summer’s moon. Within a month there were married, so in love and happy. Within a year she was dead, taken by the plague that ravaged the countryside.
" She is in Gods care now, "The priest had said as he had cast the flaming torch upon her pyre, Conavar had tried to burst through the crowd, to sweep her frail form from the flames. As friends and neighbours held him back; his faith had left him with the words he screamed and would never forget “IN GODS CARE... IF THE GODS CARED SHE WOULD STILL BE BY MY SIDE ".
The cry of a distant wolf brought him back to the present. The tears on his face lost amongst the rain, Conavar threw a branch upon the fire; which cast a golden glow amongst the darkened trees, they would be here soon he knew that, the fire would attract them like moths to a flame.
Who they were he did not know, but they had trailed him ever since he had entered the forest that very morning. They were no woodsman or elves, for he had spotted them easily amongst the trees.
He smiled wryly more than likely wolfs heads; outlaws looking for a quick kill and easy gold.
While not the strongest amongst his peers, Conavar had been duty bound as a member of the Dragon Council to train both his arm and mind in martial skills. Confident in his abilities he knew they would not find him the easy mark they craved.
Time was short, he needed to prepare; he laid his staff beside him within easy reach. Its knarled and old wood darkened by age, so much power within something so simple.
He pulled open his cloak, and reached into its many hidden pockets; removing two velvet pouches one white, one black he laid them upon separate knees.
Opening the strings on the white pouch he removed five of its contents, Five pebble sized stones that shone with the colours and brightness of a rainbow. As they lay upon his palm, he felt there calming influence radiate up his arm and over his body.
From the second pouch he removed three stones; dark and as black as night they were, while the other had calmed him these felt like leeches upon his hand ,moving, searching, trying to drain his body and spirit.
He cupped his hands together letting the eight stones mingle and touch. Eyes closed he recited the ancient spell " Ath Ether Lith Arien " he felt the stones grow warm upon his flesh, " Dagor Caran El-Breth "
the heat grew stronger burning his palms, threatening to break his concentration, but he knew the magic needed his pain, and his training fared him well and strengthened his mind, "Firin-Coire Doreth-Uial "upon the final word the pain flared then stopped.
He opened his hands. Where once eight stones had sat now there was only one, a swirling mass of lightness and dark, colour and blackness.
He clenched his fist tightly over the stone...... He was ready
Notes:
I tried to keep the story as confined as possible and still try to explain some of the character .I didn’t want to try and explain all the attributes in such a short story because I found it became a jumble of ideas. so i tried to concentrate of a few i.e. : godless ,att/def magic and still keep the story on track.
First story I have written since school alllll the years ago ( 13 ) so all comments are welcome whether good or bad.

Holy Cape: Could be an option to have a cape for each God, purchasable at each Priest/ess...persnalised of course. (Unicorn - Aluwen etc etc)
Thats better idea penni then keeps in with the RPG and story element as well
should me made though if you renouce the God the cloak disapears
-
Holy Order Cloak:
Colour: Black with white Cross
"Holy" would imply that the cross has religious significance with at least one of EL's goddesses and gods (actually all if it's supposed to affect all gods you serve). Please explain
On the effect: you already get extra experience when you completed the quests for a god you serve... would be a bit much to get even more on top of that for only 12k (or 120k for that matter).
The Cross is an example . Its gives a visual referance to the idea the final design/heraldry isnt an issue it could be a Unicorn for all it mattered
On the effect: you already get extra experience when you completed the quests for a god you serve... would be a bit much to get even more on top of that for only 12k (or 120k for that matter).
Edit: incase your wondering ive got the godless perk so wouldnt benefit me in anyway.But the suggestions are not about benefiting myself but the whole of EL from old to new
Would it ? in a fighter example . do they give up there NMT cloak for an extra 5% xp
-
i will buy all matter essences
pm in game then
ALL SOLD THANKYOU
POST CLOSED

NEW ESSENCES ADDED
See original post

The custom clothing already exists, you already have the capability to wear custom clothing at per-guild and per-player level.
I'd like a price too for custom clothing visible to all and not just a select few
Yes i know that but im i right n thinking they are only visible to the person who edited there El files and not the whole community? which is what im proposing
-
Rangers Cloak:
Price: 15k
Colour: Brown & Green
Description:
Nullifies the effect of adverse conditions.Immune to all Enviromental Damage cold,heat,radiation
Dragon Cloak:
Price: 50k
Colour: White with Red Dragon heraldry
Description:
Gives Monster Magnetisism Against the Dragon
Holy Order Cloak:
Price: 12k
Colour: Black with white Cross
Description:
Gives added 5% xp to all skills that gain gods xp
IE: completed gods quests in Att and magic,Cloak gives 5% more xp in them skills
Wraith Cloak:
Price: 7k
Colour: Pale Blue
Description:
Gives the evanescence perk to wearer
Guild Cloaks:
I know it is possible for players to buy Cloaks From the Devs .I think the price is $100 to have them implemented in game ( correct me if im wrong)
It be nice if a guild had the option to do that .
Pay $100 for a guild design cloak (to have it programmed) then proberly a fee of $1-$5 per cloak bought.
It would add more diversity amongst EL and hopefully generate more money for the Devs.(who wouldnt have to programme anything till paid)
EG : Thor guild : Cloak emblazoned with Thors hammer on the back

lmao
short story from last night:
Con3or was looking for a sword at WS storage so i gave him a free irno broad sword and he asked to add me to his friends list ,which we do.
Next think PM from krius : "Con3or is a friend of mine scam or hurt him in any way and i will hunt you down"
Before i even looked at his stats I laughed and after well nearly fell off my chair
moral of this story ermm if Krius is a friend of con3or nice way to treat your mates ,and seriously have fun and a joke but to post it = sad
Chosen they in IDK guild

Yeah I know you was joking, but he asked why a PS2 disc can hold more data than a CD, I answered him - PS2 is DVD not CD.Just a smartass post, labrat, he was asking for COMPACT DISC, and not for DVD's.Of course, CD's are different from DVD's, one can hold 700MB of data, the other one 4.7 GB of data, but to answer the question, why you have only 12 songs on an audio CD but can have a CD with a game, which contains lots of game data + music, the answer still is compression. like MP3 and others
<smartass mode off>
(yeah, labrat, you know, that im joking, right?
)Piper
PS2 are both some games are DVD some are CD depending on game size and age
-
Also, is it true that that many CD's would put data on the front and back or on multiple locations on the cd, if so how does that work exactly because the laser that reads the disc is specifically placed to only read data in 1 location i think...?
If the informtion is on both sides of the Cd this will work like a doudle sided DVD and has to be manually flipped over but most Cds/DvD's are multi layered nowadays , how the laser reads the differant layers and knows which layer to read then personally i havent a clue ( I know how a DvD works but not that technically), Im sure a Web search on how the laser works/reads discs would help
-
maybe a break rate of about 3% is right and its what they break on the needs to be adjusted.maybe they would be better if they only had a chance to break on Radon damage and collapse damage

I would kinda of like to know why you wanted to have this discussion Conavar. Is it just out of interest?
No worries.As you have proberly come to understand now im an Aethist but that doesnt make my views right.As a non-believer,heritic whatever you would like to call me lol (j/k) I have had many interesting conversations with work collegues/freinds etc who do have beliefs of one kind or another and I just thought it would be a nice off-topic subject to talk about and to give people a forum to air there views.
Im not looking for salvation/redemption or even God and I very much doudt unless im struck by lightning and hear a booming voice I will ever be a Believer but that is my choice and any one with faith in any god i take my hat of to,I believe that is there choice as well and who am I to say they are wrong.
When I started this post I hoped it wouldnt get flamey or Preachy I just wanted ppl to tell why they beleived one way or the other from a personel view point with out the bible bashing or flame from aethists.As others have written many have found god but aslo some have lost faith and its interesting to her both accounts.
To be honest this post has been more popular than i thought it would be and thanx to everyone for that,its nice sometimes to be able to have a serious debate about things not game related and to get ppl views from around the world.

I think you should set some more realistic, short term goals and then readjust when you achieve. Your current plan would take more than two yeras probably (with the hydro bars part taking 1 year alone)
I think you might not realize there is an item required to harvest every hydrogenium (steel two edge sword), so 1.8k Hydro Bars from scratch would take you...minimum 6 months I think. (2.5M Iron Ore, 1.5M coal, 1M FE)
and, GL...
EDIT For further advice on fighting, I would go here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31821
Atlantis made some good points about short term goals but if you make them goals to fit into your long term scheme then you will still be ever moving forward
take Atlantis hydro bars for example:
To raise you Harv : Harv Fe ingrediants and Metal Bar ingrediants
Alch : make the bars and essences you will need for steel two edged swords
Manu: make the swords
etc . make the short term goals fit into the bigger picture
-
As well as being a medieval setting EL is also magical ,so any idea are easily explained away
Landmines : magic induced Fe's in a Jar << I know simple and basic answer but an example of magical world not everything has to be explained in modern days science
-
Joining a guild is a good option sooner rather than later for the simple reason 90% of the time someone is online to offer advice and help (and also helps during the long long Harv sessions to have a laugh and a joke with fellow guild members)
Edit: And Welcome to EL .The game is good but the community makes it great apart from the few F**
idiots lol , -
My character Metamorphosis 3.0:
Now, he is reborn with -AT LEAST- the following skill levels:
80 Attack
80 Defense
55 Harvesting
60 Alchemy
50 Potions
61 Crafting
50 Magic
62 Manufacturing
From this point forward the character now has access to every skill, is entirely self sufficient, can create any item that he wishes, cast any spell that he wishes, has read every book, and can stand toe to toe in combat with anyone that wishes to challenge him.
Advise? Thoughts?
80/80 a/d couldnt stnad toe to toe with some of the top players now let alone how far they have advanced when you reach this point.
anyway thats beside the point .My only advice really is you've got your goal . STICK TO IT dont get sidetracked and most of all have fun doing it
Good luck
Edit: Try and keep your character as flexible as possible ,to take adantage of the special days ie: keep Phy,coord and will up to take advantage of fighting days: day of sun tzu etc.
A wont comment on the Stats you need for being a proper Pker(if thats one of your goals) but im sure a Pker will help you out there.
-
The point of this being?..
Free drops from mixers, i like it
Indeed, I was thinking that same, make sure you all wear your COLs, and nice armour kk?
nah We will just all hide at one of the new storage's

Why do I say he knows? Belief in this thread has been used in contrast to knowledge. When Conavar says belief, he means, "this is what I think". This is NOT what Wizz experiences. When Wizz says, "he believes in God" he means that a significant portion of his life makes no sense if God is absent. In other words, God simply has to be. Wizz of course does not think of it quit like this, because all of this is blatantly obvious to him from experience, and that is how he knows. Wizz does not need to go seeking God, ever; God simply is there for him.
Correct me if im wrong but what you are saying is : He simply believes in a God with no knowledge to back it up ,he cant explain it he just knows theres a God
If thats the case then the same goes for 100% of other Reglious ppl : Belief without Knowledge .I dony mean knowledge from the bible ( for maybe it can be proved to have been written but cannot be proved to be true....... )
And yes i must agree the post has got a bit flaming was never the purpose of this thread to prove or disprove God/s or to knock anyones beliefs of any religion.It was for ppl to say why or why not the believe in god/s .. when conducted properly without the flame makes an interesting debate.

Npcs to buy or sell all the new ingame items. copper/tin ore , matter conglo etc
Npc for the New Dragon Armour. Make it unmakable by players and unbuyable .The only way you can achieve the armour is to supply the scales to the npc ( keeps it very rare then)
Quest npcs: has been mentioned before
General RP npc: just there to expand upon the EL world/story and add a bit of spice
A second wraith on C2 " beam me up" from C2 takes you to him rather than IP

I've taken a few liberties with your original text hoping to make it easier to read
That is fine.The story was just an example of how I can write,It was not perfect by any means and any suggestions that help the story flow etc are always welcome.If I write a story and people edit it to be better then fine ,Its about a good story not about me lol.
Theres a few things that maybe I wouldnt have changed in the way you have but thats just down to the odd word here and there but thats personel preferance: The only one I defiantly wouldnt change is :
thanking them for this moment of stillness and reflection
for no reason apart from that in my mind he would have prayed to the God because of what was going to happen ( outlaws ) not for the stillness.
The stones : I took a few liberties with the EL world >The stones are 5 health essences and 3 Death and when combined together make a HARM spell .
I didnt just want to write " He cast's a harm spell " I tried to visually interpret it. hope it worked
Thanx for the help .
I know im not perfect at this so any help is appreciated Thankyou.
