Apparatus research continues apace. We've now worked out what all known apparatuses are for, save for the clap machines, which are probably actually useless. The sample size continues to grow on measuring apparatus rarities as well. Various crazy theories have begun forming about different things, but none so well founded as to be worth sharing. The most promising is that harm all/heal all apparatuses might be mutually exclusive and dependent on some feature of the person making them (gender? alignment?). It'll take some time to see if that's true, however. I've begun tentative research into apparatus durability, but it seems to vary wildly and from what apparatus type to another. Goodberry apparatuses last over a dozen uses quite often, but angel summoners may be gone in only a few presses. I'll update you when I have better info. Apparatus making may be fun, but it's also not earning much much exp, and I don't expect the gold from selling them will ever really be worth the time required to make them. I may slow down a bit in order to try to actually get some levels. -Techren
https://taikajuoma.ovh/wiki/Gnome_apparatus has now been updated with some preliminary apparatus rarities. Research continues. Anyone wanting to test one of othe apps with unknown functions (the clapping one and the cookie one) is welcome to contact me in game for a sample. Those wanting other apps are also welcome to contact me. There are no set prices, just donate to the cause based on what you think they're worth (or just take them off my hands for some of the silly ones :P ) Enjoy! -Techren
CALLING ALL GNOMES (and potential customers!): As some of you may no doubt have noticed, either by being harmed by mysterious energies, ressed while afk into Dortlewall, or hearing other people complaining about the above, I've been doing some research on gnomic apparatuses and their functions. My findings so far have been updated on the wiki at https://taikajuoma.ovh/wiki/Gnome_apparatus . I'm getting to the point, however, where extra hands couldn't hurt in figuring out some of this stuff. Looking for volunteers for the following: 1. Collecting data (have to be a gnome for this) on apparatus weights, shop values, functions, rarities, etc. 2. Test dummies (Can you figure out a use for the organ music? The bird/cookie app? The clap machine? Do you have enough hp to survive the electrocution app and measure its damage?) 3. Customers (Want an app to open dimensional rifts, teleport you randomly, turn you into a dragon, summon mirror images, etc? I've got an app for that, generally weighing only 45 grams) INQUIRE IN GAME.
