[Cosplay] Pyrian Battlemage
Ladies and gentlemen !
Alpha 2 is closer than ever !
(That's quite an easy statement, I know…)
While many of us are about to set (virtual) foot on Verra for the very first time, I would like for us to send some thoughts to our (virtual and hypothetical) ancestors who fought and died on this beautiful world thousands of years ago.
Hommage to those who fell !
Since words without action carry no weight... I am proud to present to you some Non-virtual-but-still-hypothetical-fallen-Ancestor in action !
https://youtube.com/watch?v=jfLrX8mO79g

Now let's have a closer look to these relics of the past !
--
--
--
--
--
"Stiiiiick !" (active ability) : Your next single-target offensive spell is a guaranted critical hit, but it has a 50% chance to hit you instead of your target.
--
Upon your death, you have :
- a 95% chance to summon an angry chicken attacking all nearby ennemies.
- a 5% chance to summon a mighty armored phenix, attacking all nearby ennemies.
--
Alright !
This is very likely the last cosplay I'll be crafting, so I hope that you enjoyed the video !
Which is quite longer than I expected, sorry about that.

Also, here are some cool pictures from the video

Now let's have a closer look to these relics of the past !
Warcrown of Sorcery :
"An ancient crown, forged during the desperate times of the Apocalypse.
It is said to contain a savage and ruthless power.
At least it's what the saleself said to mom."
--
Spaulders of the Mighty Phenix :
"Mighty Phenix ?! It looks like some random angry chicken if you ask me my opin… aouch ! Ouch ! Hey ! Leave me alone you stupid flaming-bird !"
--
Armor of the Faithful :
"Yeah you definitely need faith to wear this so-called armor. I guess the designer of this thing had an iron belly or something ?"
--
Armbands of the Fallen Glory :
"I'm not sure about glory, but they definitely fell in some mud."
--
Gauntlet of the Flaming Heart :
"Again, what's wrong with this designer ? Is it actually wrong to want to keep my right fingers attached to my hand ? Is it ?"
--
Stick Great-Grand-Archmage-Staff
"It hates being called Stick... so I had no choice but to rename it. Scary, scary staff."
"Stiiiiick !" (active ability) : Your next single-target offensive spell is a guaranted critical hit, but it has a 50% chance to hit you instead of your target.
--
Set effect : Blessing of the Goddess (passive skill)
"Beware if you dare to harm one of the beloved followers of the Goddess of Creation ! Her wrath might desintegrate you on the spot ! If she is not busy looking elswhere, of course."Upon your death, you have :
- a 95% chance to summon an angry chicken attacking all nearby ennemies.
- a 5% chance to summon a mighty armored phenix, attacking all nearby ennemies.

Mushroom Figurine
Hi guys! I'm Lorey. I really love mmorpg games and am really looking forward to the release of Ashes of Creation. I want to share my creativity.
I'm new to sculpting, but this mushroom seemed very cute to me ❤️, and I enthusiastically began to embody it in a figurine.
I will be very happy if these works get on the stream in the #FanFriday section
Material: polymer clay, acrylic paints, varnish for polymer clay.
Height 85mm.
I also attach several photos with the process.

Dünir... computer table
Hello! It’s been a while since my first (and last) post here—I simply prefer to read, and I’m too lazy to write. 
But now I have something to share with you!
Maybe you remember my dwarf-style jewelry box (which was posted here)? So I decided that I needed a proper stand for it. Also, I've wanted a new computer table for a long time, so I decided, why not combine the table and the stand? Of course, the table should be at least a bit dwarf-style to match the box. So I went through the wiki and all livestreams (anyway, I've been watching every livestream since the announcement) and used these images as a reference.
Well… I had no plans to make an exact copy, but wanted to keep the general style. I hope I was successful. Judge for yourself — here's the result.
And, of course, as you could guess, the color of the table was matched to the color of the cat
Materials: ash wood, oak, glue, a lot of time, oil, and wax.
That's it. Thanks for watching and reading. I hope I wasn't too boring.
P.S. Now I need a bookcase... but this is another long story

A new journey - what are your thoughts on the beginning player experience in MMO's?
What are your thoughts on a new players experience in a MMO world.. what have you seen from other games that worked out well and others that may not have?
Not a official story, just flavor story to go along with Discussion ideas!
Prologue:
Fuppo sits calmly on the broken wall beside a small box that contains what appears to be cookies. "I swear there were more of these. Did I eat one? No, there is mischief afoot." He nods his head in disapproval.
He feels something, a presence that was not there a moment before.
He swivels his head, looking to the west over towards the tops of the pine trees across the large meadow that spreads out before him. The glade has an ancient structure, with fallen and broken stone walls and towers. It sits rising on top of the ground that gently slopes up from the meadow's edge to the center where the tumbled stone blocks sit, jumbled in disarray but with enough structure to show the tower's grandeur and walls that once stood there.
Suddenly, he hears a noise in the distance, crashing branches and sees movement deep among the trees in the thick scrub brush that lays in dark patches under the spreading branches.
Quickly the small cat, for that is all that Fuppo is, is he? There are more profound mysteries about the feline than appear at first glance. One might be the glowing eyes, slitted with an iris that seems to burn with an inner fire that might consume the onlooker with a deluge of heat if released from the prison that traps it. Other hidden mysteries are not apparent at first glance hidden in the feline's body which is as black as the darkness you might find in a cave deep in the earth's bowels.
Bounding down from his perch, Fuppo leaps behind one of the large building stones toppled from the tower walls.
Looking again towards the treeline, he sees emerging from the deep shadows that cloak the forest edge a group of what appear to be travelers!
"Ah yes, finally," he thinks to himself.
"It took them long enough; I have been here after sneaking back through the Gateway from Verra for over a month waiting; what has taken them so long to arrive?" he wonders with a slight annoyance appearing on his small feline face. An old face, older than anyone could suspect.*
But that is not of import now. Fuppo leaves his hiding place and jumps to the top of a larger stone block so they will be able to see him clearly; one must be careful as one will not want to scare the travelers; they will have had run-ins with the... inhabitants in this area and might be slightly, well maybe more than a little frightened. "No use getting an arrow shot at me." he thinks, though that would be a wasted arrow.
"Good morning, or is it? The start of your adventure, travelers. Oh, they have no idea of the wonders and dangers facing them." He purrs... "oh yes, they have no idea."
Chapter 1: Through the Forest.
“Corruption and Walnuts, This forest is horrid! ” Zii exclaims, her high voice rising an octave and ascending from there as she continues to speak. “I said we should have taken the path towards the mountain, but no! No one listens to Zii! We have been wandering for days aimlessly through underbrush and trees in that valley and are probably lost forever! When one of those nasty spiderlings that were back there eats us all, you can not blame me. No! No! Not blaming Zii! Allu, you remember this! You remember my words as you get wound up in spider silk Alluring!” She looks over at the stout and muscular dwarf walking in front of her and slightly to the left.
“We are not lost! This compass works I know it!” says the dwarf, as she looks back over her shoulder, her long luxurious braided beard that hangs down to her knees flipping around her leather and chain armor, catching on the twin blade daggers that are sheathed in her scabbard she has on her right hip attached to her belt. Alluring, or Allu, as she is known to those that knew her before joining the company, glares at Zii, who is a Niküan Dwarf. Zii is a Tank; this is not common but not unheard of among the Niküan as they continue what they call the Great Hunt. She has thick iron armor plates on her greaves and breastplate and a chainmail shirt that hangs to her knees, fastened by a leather belt at her waist. A longsword sheathed beside her hand and a round shield of leather-covered wood underneath a cloak on her back.
Niküa are a sea-faring, island-dwelling race traditionally. “Close to the sea do our hearts be!” was a saying Allu had heard many times pass from the Niküa's lips. Zii is slimmer in build and taller as well by a hand span. Slightly duskier of complexion than Alluring, a mountain Dwarf, or as they and others call themselves, a Dünir. Dünir and Niküa are related far in the past before the inhabitants of Verra fled to Sanctus. Descendants of the mighty Dünzenkell Dwarves of myth and legend. However, Alluring can scare believe this, thinking to herself, “How can we be related at all!” as she begins to turn around to give Zii a piece of her mind.
A low deep voice interrupts the words that had just started to escape Allu's mouth. “Why do we not continue this conversation less harshly, friends? Is this how we treat our companions?” The voice emerged from a Massive figure, an Ork. A Ren'Kai, to be precise.
Allu and Zii both look back at the tall Orc with a giant two-handed hammer fastened on his back and become silent, though not before shooting glares at each other and making huffing noises like they are puffing air through their beards.
To Be Continued-
