You can actually accrue 1 free chunk for every 180 minutes of game play

Thanks for this info! Been looking all over the forums for this lol :)

OK, so I've been away a while

Also welcome back Omega! I knew I remember you somewhere from before, and then I remembered when Fish gave me a tour of Oakvale. Your builds were out of this world!

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Alchemy skill
« on: 29 Dec 2014, 06:02:35 »
I suppose I should weigh in on this one as well, since I figure a certain apprentice expects me to :3 . My stance has always been, "If the higher-tier potions were too easy to get, and they get circulated en masse, it would break the survival aspect of server gameplay." That said, though, I'm still aiming for Rank 8, and I'll admit it starts to get pretty grindy when you're over 900. It's been a long while since I tried leveling up, but I read up on mcMMO getting updated and setting up a special case for XP gain using the redstone/glowstone method. I tried that during the 24th/25th Triple XP event, and for me to gain a level, I used around 1.5 to 2 stacks each of glowstone and redstone. I'm okay with how fast the brewing goes at that level (0.6x), making this a fairly reasonable rate to me. I'm not too excited about collecting those ingredients though. (I wish I took note of the exact XP gain numbers. I'll work on it when I get off work). Because of that, Alchemy is now probably something I would grind only during Double/Triple events.

I forgot at which level I got to my current Concoctions rank, but at 915 I'm still at Rank 4. As Adam pointed out, the number of levels you're supposed to gain to reach the next rank seems to be inconsistent. I meant to grind to 1000 to see if that unlocks 5, but, Christmas festivities xD. I'll post again once I find out.

Hi, guys! It's your good ol' neighborhood Fred trying to pick things back up again.

I started becoming less active this summer partly due to summer school, and also because I wanted to spend some other-gaming time with my lil buddies (masterjbc in particular. He and I go way back). I was also job-hunting toward the end of summer. I ended up getting one, as a computer tech at a factory, and I started my new job on September 2nd. Currently I'm working weird hours (3am-12pm) and eventually it'll be 11pm-7am. I've had other projects and local church stuff occupy my time as well.

Oooh! and this is what I wore on Halloween :) (compare with my siggy)


During my extended break I've honed some building skills from watching BdoubleO100, Keralis, and other big YTers. I built this airship inspired by the old cartoon show Teddy Ruxpin:


I hope everyone has been having a great time since I became inactive(...ish). And Merry Christmas!

And now to figure out how exactly to start back up again >:( Re-familiarize myself with builds I've done months ago, storage chests, out-of-stock chest shops, unfinished projects... lol. Good to be back.

« on: 2 May 2014, 02:38:32 »
I've had it glitch out like this before, and sometimes it won't accept my log-in at all. A solution I found was to right click on one of the options and open it in a new tab. Or use the url donate.noobstown.com. Something about opening the Donate page in its own tab removes the problem, as opposed to using it on the main noobstown website.

Say you downloaded a 1.7.5 Survival World and tested it in Single Player. You find yourself in a 3x3 bedrock platform, and the only way to proceed is to somehow cross a 6-block gap to another platform on the same y-level. (It's high enough that falling means certain death). You take note that you have 11 string on your hotbar, which is the only item in your inventory. There's a sign on the other platform that promises diamonds and other good stuff at the bottom.

How will you cross the chasm using just 11 string?


I'd turn 8 string into 2 wool blocks, and place them on the edge of the platform, remove the first one and pick it up again, and crawl my way across the gap like that.

nice...

id use the two to make the gap only four and then id jump across

Using the two-wool place-and-replace method--- typically when you break a block that's on the level right below your feet, that item would just fall down and you're not likely to get it back. (There's a small chance you would, due to the random direction/velocity given by the game).

And then, to be able to jump across four blocks would require mad mc parkour skills (skillz?)-- it can be done, but you'd have to press spacebar at the very last pixel, which requires lots of practice. If this hypothetical survival map was on hardcore... Yeah.

But there is a surefire way to cross it.

Quick Bump:

A few shop expansions:
AbsorptionI and II potions are now available at Fred's Potion Potion Shop (Look for the giant potion).

Also, in the near future I'll be opening a Piston Redstone Shop (It's the giant piston).

Same area.

Support / Far disc image issue on Auction
« on: 10 Mar 2014, 18:39:09 »
It appears that Record 5, or music disc far, or item ID 2260, which is a bright green disc, appears as a chirp disc (item ID 2259) on the Auction.

I saw a red disc being sold, but it had the description "Far." Don't have a screenshot, but if you hover over the far disc on the Music Discs section (you'll notice there's two red discs, it's the one on the right):



So I buy out this red Far disc for 4,000 Nbz, and checked my Collection chest:



Turns out it was a chirp :( I would pay 4k for a far, but for a chirp... well, good thing I don't have it yet. Can the auction icon for far be corrected?

A simple suggestion to change the chat message color for either wildy chat, or party chat, to differentiate the two channels. There has been a couple of times when a party member has missed my party chat message because they were in the wildy world and there was a lot of wildy talk going on.

Support / Re: Brewing Using Too Many Items?
« on: 6 Mar 2014, 03:49:30 »
Were you putting the ingredient first before putting the bottles? I normally put bottles first, but I was able to replicate the 3x ingredient bug when I put multiple ingredients first, and then putting the Awkward Potions in. The brewing animation looked kinda spazzy while doing its work.

Technical blah: I think the plugin is forcing the brewing process to activate each time it is available. The act of putting even just one bottle, with the ingredients already there in the stand, counts as "brewing process available" and thus consumes the ingredient. As more bottles are added, the plugin recognizes these separately and starts brewing a second and a third process--- three brewing thingies in the same stand. This also explains the spazziness of the animation. Or at least that's what I think is going on :/

And here it is! Image quality/resolution is probably not as good as my previous maps, but will be improved on as time passes. As with the previous thread, this first post will always be updated to the latest map, and I will be doing bump posts when a new update is up.


EDIT: Why those weird numbers, you ask? Those came from the little image tiles used in the Live Map. Our Live Map goes exactly from -12288 to 12288 for x and z. That number comes from 16x786, and since it goes both directions, that means our map is 1536 chunks by 1536 chunks. (Furthermore, the live map renders image tiles that are 256 blocks square, or 16 chunk square).

To those not familiar with this thread, the rules are:

There can be only one AQW's Hitting Stick.
Post only if you: received the aforementioned powerful and foreboding item, have taken a screenshot of it in your inventory, AND have passed it on to someone, who will then do the same thing and pass it on to another person. Screenshot must be posted to show that it was indeed in your possession.


As the Lore goes, the said dreadful item (dubbed "Betty") seeks its master, and its power grows ever stronger. The only way to subdue it is to pass it along, keeping it hidden from its master.

Quick Recap/Summary (screenshots redacted to save space):
Betty  , my dear Betty, why has it come to this? Once you smacked the fangs from my mouth during a noobmas festival, but you were held by AQW at the time. Despite trying my best I can't be with you, but I have done my best to find you a safe loving home. Please remember me as the dashing purple fox i once was.
During my many travels through the general world, I run into many players. And a responsibility was offered to me, and I gladly took it. I continues my journey and found one a player who I knew I could trust hide the stick from AQW. And so it's no longer in my hands.
yupp just another day finding mod murder weapons.
Sherlock Flam out,
What a curious stick!  Beaten and battered against the armor of many a pvp victim it seems.  I should get rid of this quickly!  A message to the player who has received this from me. "Keep it secret.  Keep it safe!"
Was given a stick with magical powers. I used it to banish greifers near and far. At last, I couldn't control the powers of the stick so I to passed it along. Like the holder before me told me, I now tell to the holder of the stick now, "Keep it secret. Keep it safe!"
Finding this lonely stick abandoned in the middle of a dusty cave, its old owner's words echoing off the cave's walls through the screams of angry hoards of beasts, I snatched it and nestled it underneath my cloak. Afterwards I escaped the dastardly cave of horrors and looked at the stick beneath the light of the rising sun.

Knowing this was a stick of immense power I attempted to keep it hidden and away from prying eyes, yet despite my efforts thus it began to eat at my mind. I finally could not take it any further and passed it onto one that I hoped would be able to keep it out of the clutches of the evil Assassian, or all of Mine Earth would be fallen under his vile rule.

The only words I could tell the new holder of the magic stick were "Always remember, friend, the Stick is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found." as my warning before rushing away with a mad whimper. The power of the stick still eating at my mind and trying to force me back...
Gasp! A gift gift from my mistress! I cheerfully take it to the safety of my home, setting it down on the floor to examine it. It isn't food, and it smells like many people. I take it in my paws and turn it around, a strange sensation tingling in them. It looks like a normal stick, but it is no normal stick. My mistress seemed distressed by it, so maybe she wanted me to hide it?

As I travel, I feel its unnerving power radiating through me, making my body tremble. The distance was far, but I had to take it away from where it led. It was meant to be hidden, but wanted to be found, such was the sensation it pulsed throughout me.

"I must hide this..." I mewed weakly, as finally I came upon a familiar scent. My paws could carry me no longer, as I collapsed on the doorstep of a friend, the stick tumbling but a few feet away. Before my eyes were closed, I saw a strange aura around the stick, and called out a warning into the cool night air.

"It wants to be found...You must hide it...Remember..."
A few days ago, a mysterious kitten reached my house on top of a high hill.
It looked like the kitten was filled with insanity, it threw a stick at my feet.
The stick was slightly glowing and the kitten ran away from it quickly.
I wondered why the kitten brought it to my doors step, and why it was acting weird.
I knew the stick had some special powers on it, that would make you go totally insane so I took the stick inside
and I studied the stick very carefully, I started to hear voices surrounding me, voices of death people.
They must have been killed with this magical stick their souls must have been stored inside this artifact.
From that moment I knew I had to store this stick from the humanity, so i crafted a chest very carefully with the most powerfull items on this planet : ender power and obsidian.
I stored the stick in it and locked it, i thought it was save but next day i woke up after some sleep i noticed the chest was open, I ran quickly towards it to look if the stick was still there BUT NO!! it was gone! Someone must have stolen it! I quickly ran outside to look for any suspicious but it was to late. The stick was gone and so is the humanity in danger once again.
once I was in a cave mining for diamonds and other magical gems and a magical mod appeared in front of me with the story of the hitting stick. Said it came from a magical land and traveled through many people who have used the stick to fight off the good and bad of the world. I was offered the stick to do mighty magical deeds with it, I took a picture to remember my adventure and handed it off to someone else in hopes that they may experience what I experienced while having the AQW hitting stick.
I was walking around the cold bitter snowy land of the Taiga Biome, when I happened to come across a rather battered old man, limping towards me hurriedly.
He carried in his hand an odd glowing stick, which he then threw aggressively at my feet. I stepped back, a bit bewildered.
As I look at the stick I felt a sudden wave of dizziness come over me as I reached for the nearest tree to steady my balance.
But as I looked back all I saw was the old man crumple into a pile of ash.
I stare at the stick entranced by what is it this stick does. As compass home, and bring the stick under the bright glare of a torch as I studied small engravings on the side.
I realized this stick isn't something you'd come across very often, in fact, I believed that this was, in fact, the only one of well, whatever it was, in existence.
As I gave up on studying the confounding stick I placed it in a new chest, specially made for it. I then went to sleep, only to find out the next morning my house had been robbed! The chest the stick had been in was open and was tipped on its side! My doors were ripped open and hanging on their last hinges...
I looked for that stick, my curiosity getting the best of me, but I never found if, or heard news of it again.
Since then, I have never felt the same.
A wolf ran up to my door looking very tired. I fed him and he rested on my King bed. The next morning when he woke up, he was holding a stick that looked very pretteh. I looked at it and I could feel the power coming through it. The strange engravings on it.. I knew I had to protect this with my life.
The next day I made a mistake. I mixed the sticks up and went to kill a zombie. The zombie tore it out of my hands and struck me with great force I was in bed for the next week and a half. He then ran off tearing up the land with a whirlwind of strength. I saw the hero ahead deafeat him looking rather weak.. Where did it go?
After months of hiding the stick it was gone. I left it in a secret cave but then poof, vanished. Who knows who has it now, >:D
----------------(end of V5)----------------
Aqw's Hitting Stick I found it deep under the surface... behind the stone under the diamonds... wedged between 2 pieces of bed rock... its still glowing... I have passed it on after looking at my hands....I have realized it has tried to take over what little humanity I have left. Its somewhere... Not sure where... I seem to have dropped it, some how I'm regaining my sanity..
It came to me again today... taunting me.  Showing that it once again found it's way across the realm of noobscraft.  I've lost it now.  I must find it again and put an end to this madness!
While walking into the sewers of Noobscraft, I found a magicle stick lying in the cobwebs. I pulled it out and and put it into my pocket to go home. However, When I got home, it wasn't in my pocket, so it must of fallen out...

Mag Cream still in stock. Probably won't sell brewing stands at this point, although that'd be a good item for a Brewery Items section.
