  • The first two are old. The first one will not be used in the future, we've been told. I don't know the fate of the second. I think the third is new, but I'm not sure. The last two are definitely new, and will be introduced in game some time in the near future.

  • Currants are already in the encyclopedia (it's what you use for currency in the game)...the rest seem to be things to come....

  • How much would it suck if we were trying to fight off jujus with shooshoo powder and it acted just like sneezing powder now acts: just locks your whole game up. Be easier just to let the jujus run amok.

  • I have seen the juju icon before, when I had an error loading the page or the servers were down or something between tests...seems maybe it's some special powder they mix up at TS to keep the bugs out of the servers...

  • Wine of the Dead is old and you used to get it after stomping grapes in Hell. I believe it has been "discontinued" along with the crushing grapes quest. Currants are the current currency (try saying that ten times fast). I thought the construction tool was new but maybe not, if not its really old or just wont be used.

    No idea about the other two but I'm excited about the Special Item haha it sounds like the Glitchmas Yeti.

  • Gabi - then why do I pay for everything in currants, if it's not the current currency?  Just curious...

  • The Construction Tool first appeared about a month ago when you used to be able to snoop on the items encyclopedia. (Items used to be listed by numbers so you could just plug in numbers and see if you get lucky. Now they are listed by name.) Then they took it away. The fact that it is back, makes me think they are prepping for it to be used soon.

    Currants have actually been there forevers.

    Juju Powder has also been there for a long time. I suspect it is just a joke, especially back in days where getting the errors was more common.

    A Special Item - stoot has said folks will be getting them soon. Of course, we all know stoot's definition of "soon" is anywhere from one hour to 3 months (give or take a year).

    Wine of the Dead is also new (although it was on an OLD list of items from way back... a list that also included Mountain Oysters and other wackiness). It may be a joke... or it maybe we can do more than just squish grapes in hell soon. I know a pig (I think) told me that Wine of the Dead was AMAZING!

    ETA: As stated, they recently (during the last test) changed how item pages are listed. So anything that appears in the encyclopedia are there for a reason, not just old overs from other things. They may be there for jokes (like Game Server). And radishes and radish seeds are still up there and have not been removed in the change over... so who knows.

  • What does "ETA" mean? "Edited to add"?
    Posted 18 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, stoot--I learned that one recently too. I always thought it meant "estimated time of arrival".
    Posted 18 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • stoot: yes.  Any updates on the items?  :D

  • Can I take this, stoot?
    "Updates will be coming soon."

    I kid! I kid!

  • Exactly!

    Currants, Wine of the Dead & Juju Shoo-Shoo Powder are old (but the latter two are coming back).

    Construction Tool and the Special Item That Only Beta Testers Get are new and will be in "soon".

  • Ah yes. "Soon" much like the proverbial "15 mins" before the server came back up during outages (back in the day)

  • does this mean that beta testing will be over soon?

  • Great question, and are we going to be open sooner than soon?

  • Very cool, striatic! I did not know that (having come on only around Nov or Dec or some such).


    Did some forum digging. I don't think anyone got a screenshot for the one time they appeared at a party... But this thread contains some info (which may or may not (1) be spoilers and/or (2) have changed dramatically in the last 10 months.
