Mustafa's Lodestone


The description for Rihana's Item Mustafa's Lodestone reads:
"This lodestone will help guide you through storms, but Mustafa was a tricksy fellow. You can be sure there's a downside as well."

Said downside, to my knowledge, never manifested in the nearly 5 years' worth I played and "won" with Rihana. Have the designers really left a loose thread that leads nowhere? The earlier forum--which is extremely helpful in many respects--seems to have concluded so, but this was never a primary topic, just mentioned in passing.

Re: Mustafa's Lodestone


Although nothing conclusive has ever been ascertained about the lodestone, my best guess would be that it may increase the frequency of pirate attacks. *SHRUGS* But then again, who can say for sure except the programmers?

Re: Mustafa's Lodestone


Certainly not I, who buy a Neverstorm Pendant the moment I can afford it (no matter what character I'm playing) and depend on earning money from frequent flotsam!

And I don't understand at all the claim somebody made on the old board that if you have enough ships, the repairs cost more than you make from fighting. Not, I think, if you do it right! (Admittedly, I'm not amortizing all the gewgaws that help one fight.)
