Magicka Adjustments and New Features
The staff have been hard at work fixing up the planned features, as well as some completely new!
Submit to the Spire
A new Magicka sink has been introduced in the form of
The Spire. You can spend your Magicka by sending it to this account, and when it reaches ʡ5,000 Magicka, it will produce a new NPC that your characters can interact with! So if you have any extra Magicka lying around - even small quantities help! - you can send it on over the Spire!
Quest List
You can now find a quest list in the Guidebook! This page will summarize all the quests that have ever happened on Origin, as well as list their participants, status, and relevant threads.
Change Skin Page & New Skin
Our new
Change Skin page is now live! To commemorate this event, we've released another skin for you guys to use! Please enjoy the Change Skin page as a quick and accessible resource! Of course, you can still change your skin in the UCP.
Magicka Adjustments
We've made some adjustments to earning and claiming of Magicka. The adjustments are as follows:
— Magicka is no longer earned when other members reply to your threads
— Voting in polls will net you ʡ10 instead of ʡ15
— You can now only claim ʡ20 for short threads (14 posts or less), ʡ50 for medium threads (15 - 29 posts) and ʡ100 for long threads (30+ posts).
— High Intensity spells now cost ʡ500 instead of ʡ400
Thread Reminders
We have a
survey we are still asking for members to participate in, as well as an
advertising contest that ends on May 10th!
Vote for Origin!
At the bottom of the index in our affiliates section we have a button for
Animus Top 50. If you'd like to help out raising awareness about Origin, you can click that button and vote for us! Of course this isn't necessary, only a small favor to Origin should you choose to do it.
The Cave Report
Quest: Shed Some Light
A trio of Gembounds are beginning to make some headway in investigating the rusted machine that sits in Polaris. Maybe this machine will be the key to bringing light back to the caves, but even with the help of a mysterious older Gembound, it'll still take some heavy investigation before they can make some true progress.
Quest: The Strangeness of Cetus
Everyone is beginning to feel just how weird Cetus is. How long will it take before somebody can figure out just what it is that makes it so weird? We have a sneaking suspicion we may know what it is...
Quest: The Carvings
A collection of Gembounds all converge at the Canis carvings. Some of them have taken notice of the strange patterns on the wall, but it seems the group is very easily distracted. Will we get to learn what the carvings are any time soon? Who knows!
How about a game of hide and seek?
Tiny little Nyx finds herself hiding among the bone fortresses. Who will be able to find her first?
Fishing for Firepower
Fisher and Leon challenge each other to see who can climb the highest up the spire. Unfortunately, neither of them consider how difficult climbing a crystal spire could be. Where Leon falls from just below its peak, Fisher makes the mistake of scratching his victory into the crystal, causing the spire to react violently. Thankfully, Louie arrives to save the day!
envoi
A group of Gembounds are coming together in Canis to claim the bone room! They call themselves The Bonebound - what kind of trouble do they have in store for Origin Cave? Find out!
If something interesting is happening in your thread, send a PM to the Origin Cave account or alert the staff in the cbox. We'd love to cover it in the current or next issue of The Cave Report!
