Re: A new newbie from the land of Erf!

Do you want to know something funny? I just read the synopsis on the game website. For some reason my brain read: Strange breasts roam the sewers.

Re: A new newbie from the land of Erf!

My mistake. I was playing a game made by ICU earlier :) I meant IOU's of course. And phew! Must be the style of retcon I'm doing. Why did I choose Maso to start with? I think everyone does, lol.

ICU?

IOUs carry over. I don't know what an ICU point is though.

Re: A new newbie from the land of Erf!

There is an argument to be made that once you have permed all the skills you want and have unlocked all the kit you seek retconning becomes pointless. That being said, over 10 of us have in excess of 100 retcons, 3 over 150 and 1 (harry) over 200.

Thanks for the tip. Do you lose all your items when retconning too or do you put them in storage somehow? Some items (quest ones mostly) do not carry over.
