Update 3.16
Greetings, OH Members:
This is a busy time for many, and for others things are winding down and people are getting active again. We've even been doing a bit of recruiting! I'm looking forward to a nice season of questing and storylines coming up in May, moving into the summer. I also plan on finally finishing up the Omens SL at some point when we've got some more activity!
CONGRATULATIONS
Rhyldrin (iyieldtonone), you've earned the Ribbon of Toughness for 25 Spar Wins! This grants you 1 Trait Point (inform scaleschange of your placement), 3 Reputation Points, 30XP and 5000gp!!
VACATION
I will be leaving this Thursday morning (24th), and will be gone 9 days. I will have limited access to my laptop so don't expect too much out of me during this time. I'm leaving OH in the capable hands of all it's awesome Moderators, and specifically I've asked Becca (aruniceuphony) to make sure things get done, questions answered, and the like and she will be sending out this next Weekend Update on April 27th. If a call needs to be made that the other Moderators cannot make, then Becca is authorized to make any final calls if you can't reach me.
Andy (psionicwanderer) will also be scarce this week, so there is a chance it may take longer than normal for him to process things, so be patient!
This Tuesday's quest is open to everyone, even if we choose to play Gypsies, others are welcome. Depending on who signs up (if anyone) I will determine what we'll be doing. If it's general, we'll be going back to the Thanes Desert.
REMEMBER: Please sign up for all quests at this time. Send an email to tesarikone (or whoever is hosting the quest).
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (psionicwanderer) and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your challenge this week is to purchase something from a crafter in OH (NOT your own alts). The purchase should be roleplayed out - it doesn't have to be long and in depth, a few paragraphs will be fine.
Your challenge this week will earn you 5XP and 1 Reputation Point.
You may complete this challenge on each of your characters, ONCE. Please label your email clearly as a Challenge, and send me the log of the roleplay and what you've bought from whom. Please be aware that I leave for vacation early Thursday so there is a chance I may not be able to credit this until I get back in May, so please be patient.
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have a new incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 3000gp to outfit their character.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
While it is a change to be using the Calendar System on our boards, let's try to start using it. This includes me! I will be using our Calendar system more and more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.
WEEKLY QUESTS & ROLEPLAY NIGHTS
• Tuesday, April 22 @ 9pm (est) -- Quest Night - Leader: Pam / tesarikone
(Depending on who signs up, this will be Gypsy or Regular. If it is Gypsy, I will allow other folks to attend as well)

UPDATES, INFORMATION and CLARIFICATIONS
1. PARAGON
When crafting a paragon weapon or paragon armor, remember that they cost the normal upgrade cost PLUS 1000gp per side, and 2CP per side. This is in addition to the normal upgrade cost, you're paying MORE for the privilege of having a paragon weapon or armor.
2. GUNPOWDER WEAPONS
You may now purchase limited gunpowder weapons from the Emporium. These are early firearms, we will never be 'modern' but we are delving into early guns (such as our pirates have had before) and dabbling into steampunk a bit. You may also now choose "Gunsmithing" as an Artisan Crafting skill type if you wish to craft guns and bullets.
WELCOME!
