2023 E3 – Summer Solstice 385YE

Sunset

Is defined to be 21:00–22:00 this event.

Farewell wanderlust

  • Summer Gold: Characters will be getting 26 rings of basic income rather than the normal 18 rings. This includes new characters, and new character packs should have it printed automatically.
  • Ripples of Gold: Characters can diversify businesses for free. As ever with diversification, this is something players should sort themselves in downtime.
  • Wages of Wickedness: Characters might perform Ephisis' Scale with money and vouchers. If you can follow the instructions on the Wind of Fortune, do so. If not, if you have plot wiki access, check if the plot wiki has anything useful. Otherwise, check with the Ref Desk.
  • Enchanted Brokers: Characters who had businesses and who had their business subjected to Rivers of Gold, Streams of Silver or Gift of the Wily Broker at E2 2023 should get a ribboned magical item in their pack. If someone is missing such an item:
    • Check (a) they have a business, and (b) their business was subject to such an effect (from the character page, click on the Business, then check the Magic tab).
    • If that doesn't explain things, or the player isn't happy with the explanation, escalate as normal.
  • Treasures of the Earth: regarding "deepstone" potion lammies: warstone, bloodstone, spellstone or heartstone. If someone casts a ritual on one of these, record the ritual as normal, and add a note to the ritual saying which stone the players used. Take the lammy off the players; the stone is consumed as part of the ritual and they don't get anything back immediately.
  • Dissonant Growth:
    • Farms are producing 72 rings less than usual; characters with farms are instead getting "Ashen Residue". This is expected. They can be used when casting rituals:
      • Provided (a) the ritual is in Autumn, (b) the ritual is no more than magnitude 8, and (c) everyone involved in casting the ritual has it mastered, one Ashen Residue will provide all the mana for the ritual.
    • Forests are producing two measures less than usual; characters with farms are instead getting "metallic fruit". This is expected. They can be traded with eternals:
      • For the purposes of most trade rituals, including ones that normally have strict requirements about what can be traded (e.g. Tithe of Bats normally only allows someone to send Gloaming and Dragonbone), one Metallic Fruit can be used in place of five regular ingots or measures.
      • Trading one Metallic Fruit on its own will convert it to one vis of the appropriate realm.
      • If the ritual is Tribute to the Thrice Cursed Court, check with Ref Desk. It might work exactly the same, or it might not. I genuinely don't know.
  • Menhirs and Mana:
    • If a Marcher with a farm wants to swap to a mana site, check if their farm has been upgraded. If not, just go ahead and swap them to a mana site as normal, but don't charge them and select the "new character, no charge taken" option. If it has been upgraded, write a ticket and escalate. There's no need for the player to hang around: a head of department can sort it out, it's just a faff.
    • Marchers who have diversified to produce more than two mana crystals will lose that diversification and get some of their money back. This happens after this event, so they won't see the effects of this until next event.
