Something fun on the guild ship

Have you been on the guild ship lately?  Besides a new paint job and an awesome orange ring, the guild has recently added a chest to the guildship. The chest is well stocked with a variety of weapons, armor and other handy extras. All you need to do is open it and you have access to the goodies inside. Feel free to take what you like and if there is something you would like to leave for other guild members you can add it to the chest.  Be sure to talk to the hirelings on the ship for protection spells and buffs.

We are always looking for new guild members. If you are interested in joining our guild, send a tell to any of our officers. There is usually someone online. If not, send a message via mail and we will send an guild invite out. Sarcophagus Smashers is adding some other new features, soon to be announced on the blog. Check back often for updates! Have an idea or suggestion? Leave a comment or send a message or tell. We would love to hear from you!

Handy hirelings

Everybody needs a little help from time to time, and DDO characters are no different! There are two ways to get the help you need at an affordable price.
The first is the the hireling vendors. The hireling will last for an hour and will work along side of you as long as they don't die. You can rent a fighter, a cleric, a Favored Soul, Bard, Wizard, Sorcerers or a Barbarian. You are allowed one hireling at a time when using the hirelings from the in game vendors and they must be summoned at the beginning of the dungeon. I have not seen any thieves mixed in with the in game hirelings, which takes us to the other option for hirelings, the DDO Store. Besides a different selection, the DDO Store hirelings are "gold sealed" and have a few special extras.
The gold seal hirelings can be summoned from wherever your character happens to be. Another extra, besides being able to rent a thief, is the option to have more than one hireling! You can pretty much build your own party and they can be brought into play anytime anywhere in the quest!

Kicking back in Korthos - Some basic FYI's

You've made it through the introduction and are now in Korthos. It is a new world with new possibilities. When you enter into any new town or venue, it is well worth the few seconds of your time to find the local spirit binder. Look for them in the local tavern. If you fall to the hands of the enemy in battle and release, wherever you last binded your spirit is where you'll end up.
Weapons take damage and if you die your weapons often suffer with you. To keep them in tip top shape both the barkeep in the tavern and the general vendor can repair them for a fee.
Having trouble getting through a mission? Hirelings are available through vendors in town or through the DDO store. For a fee, players can rent hirelings for one hour. After you purchase them, they will be in your inventory. Hirelings purchased from a vendor need to be summoned at the beginning of the dungeon. Those purchased from the DDO Store offer a little more flexibility and can be summoned pretty much anywhere you are running through.
