Sorry we got off on a bad foot. I wish ou wouldn't have flamed me so much but I can't blame you for it-I know it must be annoying after a while. So, I decided to read the whole thing again (yes I did the first time) and I did see how clear the breaking sample thing was there. I guess I thought that with the brushes you meant that the chance of breaking was the brushes' chace of breaking and not the sample like with the troughs. So I'm going to re-run through my suggestions: 1. I'll get back to you on this 2. resolved 3. your desion 4. resolved 5. valid point 6. I'll put this at the bottom 7. me being stupid and reading the whole topic and first post (at least reading whole topic made me decide aginst mentioning that I thought rewards are too high which I see that they're not.) Q+A1 Not much to say 'bout this thanks for the info. Q+A2 That is pretty important and probably should be specified. Now for those enchanted tools... there are a couple ways we can go with this: 1. The standard method of enchantment: cosmics. 2. Adding gems to the tools and then enchanting with cosmics. 3. Adding a new rune (havent thought of good name) that is only obtainable through archaeology as the knowledge to make them has been lost for many years. (archaeology based digsite anyone?) 4. A combination of the above. Possible benefits: Faster digging, better rewards, lower chance of breaking (only the ones that can break of course), faster fissure reopening (maybe only at private digsites), better xp (maybe for a limited time/uses like fog rewards i.e. air runecrafting gloves) not being able to hurt yourself with tools, an archaeology stat bonus. - Also, I think what might end up happening is that people will get jumps every so often. What I mean by this is that once you get to the lvl required to clean a larger size sample you will have plenty stacked up in your bank and you will use those to jump past a few levels quickly. Was this your intention? Correct me if I'm wrong but that means you will have to run those higher lvl samples back to your bank untill you can clean them right? Was that intended? I'm sure your already aware of that but let me know. I' try to get back to you with some guild ideas sometime.
