Even Nastier Nonsense

A while back I made this little list for my own use and have been using it quite regularly ever since, so I figured I might share it here as well. I use it as either a quick reference or a very simple random generator—just roll 1-3 to decide the theme, and then roll again for the specific goal. So if I get 2 out of roll /1-3, and then 5 out of /roll 1-5, my random goal is 'Delivery Quest.'

The goals are intentionally left as vague as possible, so you can easily work around them. For example, 3-1 'Assaulting a location' could be an open attack on an enemy outpost, a sabotage mission, a castle siege... Up to you, really—it's only there to give you a vague aim.

(Mini-challenge: roll for three different events and try to create a short event chain based around the goals you got.)

-----

1. NPC-CENTRIC:

1. Kill/battle quest. 2. Escort quest. 3. Kidnapping an NPC. 4. Freeing a kidnapped NPC. 5. Locating an NPC. 6. Healing an NPC.

2. ITEM-CENTRIC:

1. Item retrieval. 2. Item destruction. 3. Item creation. 4. Gather quest. 5. Delivery quest.

3. LOCATION-CENTRIC:

I struggle a lot with writing character profiles (especially descriptions of how my character looks), so I made this little checklist of things that helps me with the process. I've been using it for years and figured I'd put it here as well. Personally I use it as a pretty rigid guideline and follow that exact order, but you can use it however you like. Cheers!

1. FIGURE a) Height b) Weight c) Fitness Level d) Posture e) Movement

2. FACE a) Shape b) Eyes c) Eyebrows d) Nose e) Lips f) Complexion g) Hair h) Make-up/Piercings

3. GEAR a) Clothes and Armour b) Weapons c) Decorations

Each event gives you 1 event point.

You can buy new actions and proficiencies for 10 event points.

Mogit works more or less the same as the retail addon, but it is expanded a bit to work for Epsi.

First, type /mogit and do this:

This will ensure your bags don't fill up.

CTRL + LMB while in the item gallery will add the item to your preview.

While CTRL + LMB while in preview mode will add the item to your bag.

Mogit will put only normal version of items that have many colour options because of raid difficulty in your bags. To fix it, do this:

Arcanum allows you to combine different spells to get fun effects.

Here's an example of an Arcanum spell that lets you carry a coffee mug. First, at 0 seconds, it equips item ID 3172815 (a tin mug). Then, at 0.3 seconds it applies to spells: 200336 which is Always Unsheathed and 272298 which is Guard Stance While Walking.

You can add spells to different profiles and preview those profiles by clicking the button in the corner.

Epsi uses spells and emotes for pretty much everything. To look them up you use .lo command followed by what exactly you want to find.

.lo em XYZ will look up emote XYZ .lo sp XYZ will look up spell XYZ For example:

As you can see, each spell has its number: in this case it's 245841. This will be useful later for creating Arcanum spells. You can learn the spell. It will put the spell on your toolbar if there's space or in your spellbook under General.

In order to stop using a specific spell, right click it in the top right corner of your screen (like removing a buff on retail).

If the name you want is taken, type in whatever.

Type .rename New Name

You can use '
