Well there we go, I suppose

[Lychee]

We havent come across anything needing a code! But the scratched keypad seems like a contender for it potentially? At least it had a key input. Maybe a pokemon DID only type in 51 and it zipzapped them into a scratching frenzy? Whatever the case, it doesnt match up entirely.

Things we know we are missing and need to search for;
- Two more skin patches to open the evil fountain
- A jagged key for the underwater chest (buried my soul in the basin? Will there be a soul inside to finish off indulges recipes?)
- Other indulge ingredients (granola is missing: geodude skin, tongue. Carbonara is missing... laughter? Soul food is missing: one soul) to make the three recipes in the hell cursed cauldrons
- An evil stick to go with our evil leaf crown and fit into the wall of fiery doom
- A location to put the evil toys into
- The second half of the bootleg key to put into the bootleg keyhole in Harmonys hideaway
- A GAMMA code for a door
- Empty fuel cannister for the carving of barrenness

- A way to blow open an impenetrable shack with a speaker?????????

@Lychee i'm sorry, unfortunately I didn't buy the materials for forging a dagger for you so I feel bad for forgetting such an important part

I'll use my turn next cycle to make it up to you

Yeah, hate to say it, but you guys need ingots, that's where you're running into trouble. And ingots can't be bought. You can buy the iron ore (which can be later combined into ingots once that feature gets unlocked), but until then, you'd have to find ingots straight up. Or have Brass (arnid's character) put his personal inventory ingots into the Team Inventory and then use them from there.

And yeah, sorry to say but Lillian wouldn't be able to help you with this either. There's nothing stopping her from buying the Adrenaline Orbs, though, but no dice on the dagger. Not yet, anyway.

(I'm running a check by Suicune's Fire to see if she's okay with unlocking combining materials now. I can't see why not, but until it gets unlocked, you'd have to find ingots straight-up from other sources as opposed to combining ores to make your own.)

FORGE (ANY CYCLE) - 1 Action
Using this skill, you can use materials to create items or equipment. When you come across certain types of materials, you will be able to bring them to a forge and spend some time crafting special items for yourself, your teammates, or even NPCs. Blueprints for weapons, armour and accessories will become available to you throughout the course of the game through different means.

You can forge 1 piece of equipment (E:) per Forge action. If you have materials that can be crafted into other materials, you can do this in addition to forging equipment. For instance, if you have x2 [Red Gem Dust], you can craft that into 1 [Red Gem] as part of the Forge action, as well as 1 piece of equipment.

How to use:
Once you know what you want to forge, simply write "I would like to craft x1 [Padded Strips], x2 [Iron Ore], and forge one [Iron Dagger]."

[M:Padded Strips] - Padded strips made from macro-weed fibre.
Purchased/found: Disaster Defence: $20 SP$

[M:Iron Ore] - Mound of imperfect iron dug up from mines or ruins.
Purchased/found: Disaster Defence: $30 SP$, Scavenging

[M:Titanium Ore] - Mound of imperfect titanium dug up from mines or ruins.
Purchased/found: Disaster Defence: $60 SP$, Scavenging


[E:Iron Dagger] - The most basic dagger capable of potentially inflicting 1 extra point of damage per hit.
Purchased/found: as Blueprints from Disaster Defence: FREE with any purchase!

that is what I'm confused about it said iron ore

[Lychee]

Im confused too! I guess I thought iron ingots and iron ores were the same thing??
But theres an extra step. Okay...
I thought we had unlocked all traits, skills, perks, actions and shops, I didnt realise there WAS another extra step in creating items!

Dont feel bad, Shadowbolt, it's not just your mistake. Looking back through the thread here and in main action; Literally none of the players said a word about ingots vs ores, the guy who plays nicklefool has had the exact same problem and didnt speak up, and I'm betting that @arnisd probably doesnt even realize hes hoarding all the supplies he finds and nobody else can take them.
Eh. I guess it can't be helped. Sorry about getting you to waste your whole turn on learning something you couldn't even use! I feel pretty bad for asking you to do it and screwing it up. All the more reason to give your character an adrenalin orb! Think of it as an apology :)

In the case of lillians actions, now I really REALLY dont want to use up that obsidian dagger opening a statue, because its turning out to be really difficult to get equipment!

[Truly]

@Neo Emolga @Suicune's Fire @ShadowBolt25 @Lychee @arnisd
I'm guessing he means this, specifically,

How to use:
Once you know what you want to forge, simply write "I would like to craft x1 [Padded Strips], x2 [Iron Ore], and forge one [Iron Dagger]."

is what has him confused. It's confusing to me, too, although I realize this might just have been an example -- have there been mentions of ingots anywhere else?
But, ok, it's actually here

E:Iron Dagger (1 per Forge action)
Iron Ingot [1] + Padded Strip [1]
50% chance to deal +1 Health damage on a hit

And apparently we already had gemstone headband blueprints? It's really frustrating to not have everything in one place -- and to have one of those places in "emissary quarters" subforum.

Ok, but how about this -- we already do have Iron Ingots. They're in Brass's inventory, as of post 105.

Hey, btw, this brings up another thing -- why do we all have separate inventories to begin with?

EDIT:
Nevermind, I guess you guys figured all of this out already. Again, just begs the question why we have separate inventories, when all it has done so far is make it harder to do things.

edit 2
it's really frustrating, because the game has slowed down so much that we spend so much time trying to coordinate that when we waste another turn it's another week, and it's just because everything doesn't go to a shared inventory.

(and like, it's clearly not sacred -- in Lychee's, like, second action, she took a bunch of splinters from me. So of course shadowbolt took the ingots from arnisd.)

[Lychee]

I mean, I did ask you before my character stole your characters stuff... I think? Well, now im not sure, LOL.

The individual inventories thing is killin me too- I read our list of stuff, then have to open everyone's Spoiler boxes to know what's REALLY in our team posession. I mean, it makes sense for the things we equip, but it also makes me wonder.... maybe this game can be played a different way.
Maybe this game doesnt have us all share everything for a reason, yanno? And what is that reason? Well... it IS a horror game- maybe there are going to be betrayals! Maybe the emissaries will start to have different strategies, maybe they'll divide, and not want to share their berries or gems with their fellow emissaries, because they're playing the game in a way they cant stand?
Ooo. Juicy. We've certainly had disagreements over playstyle already, that's for sure.

... and if we cant take from each others inventories, players who drop out or dont post might hold onto things indefinitely! Dead emissaries die clutching their stuff!
Anyway, i'm very very interested to see what the ruling on taking each others items is. If it's a flat no from now on... well, we'll see.

[ShadowBolt25]

But what about the

Team Inventory
Wallet:
$821 SP$

Consumable:
[Oran Berry] x6
[Sitrus Berry] x3
[Starf Berry] x5
[Spelon Berry] x5
[Lum Berry] x2

Equipment/Materials:
[M:Titanium Ore]
[M:Padded Strips] x15
[Titanium Ore]
[Blue Gem Dust]
[Green Gem Dust]
[Clear Gem Dust]

,etc

[Truly]

But what about the
...
Team Inventory
...
Equipment/Materials:
[M:Titanium Ore]
[M:Padded Strips] x15
[Titanium Ore]

Yeah, actually -- and we also have the

E:Titanium Dagger (1 per Forge action)
Titanium Ingot [1]+ Padded Strip [1]
+1 Health damage on a hit

apparently, so maybe Neo/Suicune would allow you to switch to that if they can't be persuaded to let you craft an iron dagger =___=

Also... why are there two entries for Titanium Ore, one with the Material M-tag and one without? This is some mysterious stuff.
