8pm CT NEW EVENT PREP

[Chalnoth Tholl]

Calling all PAS Crafters. Alchemist, Cooks, Tinkers. PAS Crafters will prepare the the High Seas items needed for a hunt to be held tomorrow. PAS will provide as much raw material as we can. Creating a basic "Cannonier" package is our goal, so that we can adequately man the guns for a pirate hunt. If you don't have the Expansion, you can still help by gathering raw materials (Wool, boards, ingots, SALTPETER, water, sulfurous ash)

can players without the expansion see the same stuff that those with the expansion see? And does it take a person to man a cannon on a ship?

I havent played with the new expansion much but I have 2 accts upgraded for it. Just was curious.

The captain can run around and fire his cannons, however, he then has to reload prior to re-fire, it takes 4 steps to reload. So it is bets to have at least one person piloting the boat, and 1-3 cannoneers.

very cool, thanks

Does the crafters house have a water trough with some Endless Decanters of Water linked to it? I noticed you mentioned water gathering as a way to help, but if we have the above setup we won't need to gather any water. If we are not set up this way yet, I would be happy to provide the trough (if somebody would place it) and endless decanters. With one of those in your pack you always automatically have water, so it speeds things up and cuts back on some tedium.

That sounds like a great help, Avorion. I would be glad to place it if you show me what to do. I wasn't aware of that item/feature.

Our goal for this crafting event is to make 50 Cannoneer Gun Kits. This should last us at least 2-3 Pirate Hunt Events. We have all the raw materials but will need to break up into teams to:

prep some of the materials
make various components
assemble kits

I have attached a list that you may find useful

[Warden]

Wow, nicely laid out. Thanks for doing that. I'm also going to steal it for my own crafting.

[Warden]

I'm ending up having to go out of town tonight, so I will likely be late or may not be able to go at all. So good luck, and I have what I need to supply myself for the event tomorrow, so I won't be leeching off y'all...

[aibandit]

I can't go but I'll donate boards. How many do you need?

[Chalnoth Tholl]

This event went very well. Learned a few things so we can be set up better next time. All in all it took us about 4.5 hours to craft 50 cannoneer kits. I know those involved learned just how tedious getting ready for a pirate fight can be. I suspect these kits will last 2-4 events depending on turn out. And from our last few hunts I think a kit wil last a fighted about 3-4 hunts, depending on how many cannoeers are bpresent at each hunt. If you have any tips on smoothing the process please feel free to post.
