In the suggestion forum some one suggested a way to turn in unwanted artifacts.  After thinking about it for a while I decided the best method for doing this would be to make a trash barrel that players can feed unwanted artifacts into and get an artifact credit.  Vendor stones can be set up for spending these artifact credits.


The barrel is set up so it is easy to add additional items for turn in and the rewards are completely controllable by the GM staff through the vendor stones.  I have preloaded all of the paragon artifacts into the trash barrel as possible turn in items.


This seemed like the most flexible method for helping remove unwanted items from the game while still giving the players a little something in return and to keep rewards control in the hands of the staff.

This was well written Keldon, only needed to make a few very minor syntax adjustments. Awesome work buddy.

I didn't keep a change log but I'd be happy to go over it with you after I'm done getting all the new stuff settled :)

alright,  after the changes are settled I will hop on TS and we can go over it.  Future coding I would like to make these adjustments myself so you do not have to.

Is it possible to get a list of the weapons that it will take?

It will take any of the items listed in the paragon sections of this list.

Thank You


Just cleaned my house and got a Luck +100 Scroll  :)





Any thought to adding other items? Like anything with the label "Artifact"?

Perhaps in the future we will add more artifact barrel's however we would like to have different currencies for each because not all artifacts are created equal. :)

I was thinking about that last night and yes due to the random nature of artifacts and how some of them drop having different turn in barrels and currencies would be best.


As a side note i considered adding the ML minors to this barrel but decided against it last minute.  My general thought was 1) this was requested but more importantly 2) get people to start hunting on what is more or less a dead map.  I think Dante and Kyn gave a very huge incentive for players to hunt paragons now with this turn in.  This also filled a secondary request of giving a non-fel method for getting 105-115 power scrolls with vendor stone purchase.  If we allow any artifact to be turned in for this currency it will dilute and possibly destroy some of this.


my 2 gold pieces anyways
