Hello! And welcome to the very first Lord of the Craft blog. This will be the place where I'll catalog and review a bunch of information about the Lord of the Craft server, forums, and wiki. Please, get comfortable, settle yourselves in.
Oh, and have a piece of the cake. It's to signify the birthday of this blog (and Telinir).
Well, without any further ado, let's get started with some introductions.
I'm BoogerBuster, A.K.A. Booger on the forums and Teamspeak. I'm currently on the Media and Guide teams, where I'm outfitted for Voice-Acting (and blogging now, I suppose) and... Guiding, respectively.
As far as characters go, I play an old, shamanistic orc named Brunhyldir, a mute, thieving halfling named "Mutie" Mountebank, and an ancient, curmudgeonly Cloud Temple Monk named Zachai.
So that's me. And by the way, if you have any questions about orcs, halflings, monks, Ascended, all that, let me know.
Now that introductions are out of the way, let's get straight to the good stuff.
|¨-¨| Rasmot the Mad |¨-¨|
I'm not sure if you guys have read the recent update in the Events sub-forum of News and Maintenance, but there is something rather odd -- and exciting -- going on around the entirety of Anthos.
Basically, this crazed wizard known as Rasmot the Mad translocated his chest of valuable magical artifacts into the Void, and the Void decided to throw it right back out. The contents of this chest have been scattered all throughout Anthos.
These items can be found in ancient ruins (even in the Wilds), catacombs, and through special events lead by the GM team. The person who found the first artifact found it around the Cloud Temple Sanctuary, even.
Some of the items already found are pretty crazy. For example, we have the Ass Irons, which are handcuffs that transform whatever you say into donkey-speak; and the Condescending Glass, a glass that will automatically refill itself with wine, and insult you non-stop.
While they can be funny, others have more interesting RP uses. There's the Degenerate Regenerator, a ring that will give the wearer a feeling of euphoria, but will also corrode what it touches slowly. I could see a villain using this to trick his enemy; he would get him to wear the ring, and he would eventually lose that finger and possibly his entire body. Finally, there's the Inverse Sword, which will attack the person who draws it from its scabbard. It's very tricky, in that it is labeled "The Sword of Horen" at first glance.
These relics definitely add a fun twist to roleplay for anyone who finds them. So, treasure hunters, good luck and do your best to find the glories of Rasmot the Mad! There appears to be nine more undiscovered treasures, but this could be more or less the remaining amount.
You can find more information on the lore behind Rasmot the Mad and a complete list of discovered relics here. Thanks to PtahWithin for the story and idea behind these events!
New Features!
Walking to Victory
Tired of trying to have a conversation with someone while walking in Minecraft, but they get ahead of you, or vice versa? Or that it just doesn't make roleplay sense to be jogging everywhere?
Well, our great buddy Telinir has come up with a solution to this problem! Through some coding magic, he has added a new feature for use on the server, and I'm personally really excited about it.
If you want to walk at a slower, more normal pace, you can now simply type /walk, and it shall be done! You'll basically be moving at the equivalent of crouch speed, without actually crouching. It's awesome.
Another cool thing to mention is that you don't have to type /walk again when you want to cancel it. Going into a sprint or crouching will put you back into "jog mode" again. This means that you can jump while walking.
Lore: Alabaster Seabird
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there is a lot of newly accepted lore for flora and fauna going on right now. I thought I might cover this accepted lore just so you guys can get more familiar with it, and try to use it in roleplay!
The Alabaster Seabird is native to most every mountain range in Anthos, and is one of the largest birds in the realm. Although a pain to train at adulthood, obtaining an Alabaster Seabird egg would allow one to train this bird with ease.
If you're looking for a credible bird to tame, train and bring close to your heart, this could be the option.

Mining Plugin
The mining plugin has received a small update as far as ore duration and mining itself. The respawn time of both iron and coal has been reduced. For example, instead of waiting 1+ hours for coal to respawn, it will respawn within 8 minutes! There's a catch, though. When you mine the block, you have a percent chance to not receive an ore. This hasn't been nailed to the point of ores being rare now, but you will have to go around a couple times to get what you're looking for.
More information on the temporary update to the mining plugin, and some calendar updates, can be found here.

Although some of you will certainly know where this is, others will be wondering a great deal about the secrets behind these eggs. Let's just say that they're not very easy to get to. At all.
Happy hunting, if you go to search for them!

Thanks for reading my post for today. I definitely hope to add more as Summer gets rolling, and feel free to give me any feedback. I hope to implement voice-acting in one way or another, as well as other strings I might be able to pull. We'll say.
Thanks again, and go bust a booger!
