If it's too damned much trouble for you to type "may I have sow please" then it's certain to be too damned much trouble for me to interrupt my meditation to stand and spend the mana to cast sow on you. Hail doesn't cut it children.

You mean you can't tell when someone wants sow from the twinkle in their eye? Usually hail=GIVE ME SOW

Oh really? I thought Hail="I'm a lazy discourteous fuckwit who can't be bothered to treat other players has actual human beings". But then, what do I know?

Hail 'em back, see if they can croak out a coherent statement.

I seldom play a character that has sow, so when I do play them, I actually feel really cool by offering SOWs at the EC tunnel.

You need to make a hotbutton with some quest text and hit that when people hail you. The deeper they have to get in order to actually figure out what they need to do, the better. Once they finally figure it out and finish it, give em SoW.

You're welcome.

Just keep a sow pot with you at all times and when they bug you for sow, sell it to them for 150 plat. When they ask you to cast it instead, charge them 20 plat to borrow it for a click.

Probably the most annoying part of playing a class that can sow is coming back to a /hail, /hail, /hail, /tell "sow plz" after you've been medding AFK. Or the /tell asking for a sow when you're on the other side of West Karana or some other huge zone.

I can't recall ever refusing to sow somebody when they were present and asked (as apposed to halfway across the zone). But this run up and hail shit doesn't fly with me (exception: cast Breeze/Clarity on me and then hail and I won't mind).

The coldstone is no lie. There should be an additional warning when you select the human race..........

But I'm always polite and I ask them where I can meet them and/or their /loc and come to them.

I often am accosted for SoWs but I am a gentleman so I just cast SoW on them and then go beat my wife IRL to blow off steam, don't want to ruin my ingame persona.

My mage is 40. One day last week I received 3 separate requests for coldstones. I have never previously or since gotten a request for a coldstone.

I found it suspicious...

TBF he may not have known the way (easy as it may be not everyone knows the game as well as most of us.)

But if I need anything "special" I always tell the porter up front what I need and how much I'm willing to offer for the service. May take a few tries but someone always accepts the offer.

Also blesses to the CR porters. Surprisingly easy to get CR ports on Green.

What I have discovered so far: people rely on the wiki way too much. They don't even recognize quest text when they see it!!
Not a single person so far has been able to get past my first round of dialogue...

Haha! Yes trying to figure out WTF the quest text was on live was a lot of fun and you never knew if it was going to get you something awesome. I loved hailing every NPC. Now you kinda figure out what items you want and back into the quest from there. 21 years later!
