A Item for the plats idea: lantern/torch

A lantern that stays lit without holding it, takes up a body sash or kilt slot. For the Light Rpers that use dark nights and no light filter. A parry warrior can then go into dungeons, also a mage can wear it without having to reequip it after every cast.

Or a torch that is spell channeling. I know there's the IN LOR and nightsight potions. But a pure parry warrior knows no magic. The night sight potions do negate this and I don't have a good argument against them.

The wearable lantern / SC torch would be nice to see on the plat list. There is no draw back, no exploiting but adds a certain rp / real funtion to the few of us who play with dark nights. For those who dont, with no inlor and no nightsight pots are really missing a element of the dungeon experience.

Like it!

It could perhaps be an attribute of clothing (such as Blessed, Exceptional, etc.). Call it luminescent, glowing, or something like that?

I don't see at all why this would have to cost platinum. Just hand them out to any RPer who wants them. Or better yet, give a bunch to the Village of Paws and let Jupiter do the job of handing out! It would be unrighteous to demand platinum for these simply make-life-a-little-more-convenient-for-us-RPers-things.

Yes, you heard me, unrighteous!

I suggested this in another thread as a newbied ring/jewelry item so it does't conflict with any other slots.

I love the idea.

As a roleplayer, does it really make sense that your character can hold a lantern and a shield and a sword at the same time? Maybe you could try putting a torch or lantern on the ground while you're fighting instead?

But I don't mean to tell you how to RP, and don't have anything against your suggestion

Spell channeling lanterns are a great idea! Same with torches and candles.

Like this?

If I was to be going full RP with th dark nights to boot, I'd take a dozen torches with me...makes more sense throwing a lit stick to th ground than smashing a lantern.

I like Blaise's idea of a piece of jewelery but I'd prefer to see that giving th glow of a candle, at most an extra tile or two lit forward of the character.

However I think if it's to be a 'wearable' lantern, the belt/sash slot works, and perhaps make it a jar of fireflies, could even negate the plat vendor, and make it a quest to collect them and turn them in to th quest giver for your lantern.
Either that or make it a piece of jewelery with th firefly, collect th set and you get th lantern's glow vs the individual pieces being candle glows....

YES. EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

What about "Ring of Limited Nightsight" as a potential addition to treasure chests allowing for magical rings etc for lockpickers?

When equipped gives aura of light (akin to a lantern), and lasts for 30 mins/charge?

Oh, so that's why those modern MMO's are so popular...

Indeed, hands-free lanterns have kept the old-school MMO community down for too long. Time to modernize UOR!

well, to be honest, like all the suggestions here, but, it would have to be a wearable lantern or a SC torch. A ring of nightsight is the same exact thing as a NS pot. No warm glow. If you turn off your light filter and use dark nights and colored lights, wait till its black dark and light a torch......that warm space cadet glow. This is the reason I dont use NS pots....no glow.

So, in closing, to satisfy me, it would have to be lantern (with radius lighting on your char) or a spell channeling torch (with that warm glow around your char). Also....haters gonna hate this......In Lor should be 7-8th circle spell. There, I said it.

I has sword/shield/lantern in Ultima IX

What's a paladin?

Your knowledge of the land shall be great!

Using Ultima IX to proving anything Ultima related is heresy.

As far as I'm concerned it's not cannon!
