Kracky wrote:Okay just got into a discussion on glass/crystal coins dropping in game and NOT from the scavenger / statue hunts.

I have 49 crystal coins on my PD/LOTL alt now. I know there is almost no way I have done anywhere near the hunts for all these coins.

So question is this :

Do glass or crystal coins drop from things other then the kraken/crab ? They kinda must since I would never risk going after those things on my PD/LOTL alt. Someone know whats going on ?

Was there something added/changed for lotl alts because scav hunt was very difficult doing when living off the land ??

NOTE : The alt all these coins are on is so old its possible I did a wacky amount of statue hunts in case I wanted or needed crystal coins. Egg said the drops for the glass/crystal coins is very specific , and I doubt he is wrong , so meh my error I guess.

I appeared to have got a crystal coin from a a normal daemon in the Abyss. Has anyone figured out what actually causes a drop? Is it purely random? I find scavenger hunts very annoying. :(

I noticed that I had in one of my chests a Vampyric Log + 1, but was unable to actually craft anything out of it. I used an ordinary pocket knife (I believe I remember the tinted ones no longer do anything?) and even dug around to find an old vampyric pocket knife, which didn't work either.

Are you not able to craft vampyric weapons or armor? Can you still deconstruct vampyric gear?

nope, haven't been able to craft vamp for maybe 10 years?
and that log would be pretty collectible

if you can't craft it you can't decon it (I think, because a crafting recipe needs to exist to decon) - just try it and see

Its usually a drop from a boss mob. There are times a boss doesn't appear to drop an item (instead a coin goes into inventory). Not sure if they are also from bosses with no name also (some alts kill so much stuff in 1 hit or en masse its hard to tell).

Maybe i am wrong but thats how i saw it.

You could make vampyric and venomous shields with them logs back in the day. I still have a vampyric buckler in my house.

I've been fiddling around with the avatars from the btiles, and noticed that every time I change something and save over the file, every avatar on that page starts to show the pink background ingame. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or what's causing it. Anyone know how to fix this?

You messed up transparency.
Just download a new client and replace the graphics files with fresh ones.
Make a copy of the tiles before making changes.

That's just it though. When I put the original back, it's transparent again. I name the file exactly the same as the original and I only alter the tiles in a single sprite grouping. What makes the pink transparent?

Yes

Used the "color picker" tool that lets me copy a color from the page. It says the pink is exactly 255,0,255.
File name exactly "btiles24"
File type: PNG file
Dimensions: 272x272

I wonder if it's because MSPaint does something funky to the saved file, even though they are all PNG Files.

Theres usually a message that states you'll lose transparency or something if you save a file that exhibits it.

Use something like GIMP that should solve the issue.

i don't think you have to worry about transparancy perse (ie the alpha channel or whatevs) - pink has to be 255,0,255 and euo handles the transparency from there
I strongly suspect paint is fucking it up

You haven't checked the Monastery/The Domain? You have to kill a certain little someone there.

Pretty sure you can, but it makes it so the LoTL cant pick it back up.
