Volcanic ash?

09:05 AMI noticed quite a few people lately that are completely covered in ash. When you look at them, their description says something about their features nearly being concealed, and a thick layer of volcanic ash covering all their stuff.

How does this happen? Working in the forges? Going to a specific place? Please clear up my confusion. My warrior would look a lot better that dirty.

09:32 AMI'm pretty sure they were in Teras when the volcano erupted, or they hunt inside of it. reg
05:59 PMIt was just being on Teras at the time, you had to jump and flail, or cast water at yourself to get it off.

I left Teras, so I don't know if its still happening. reg

06:09 PMYes it happens when hunting on Teras, not sure where exactly. On my trip to Ta'Illistim I shared a cart ride with someone covered in ash. He kept jumping up and down, throwing ash all over the place. I couldn't see his face so I rubbed it off him. Good as new! reg
07:13 PMYou can get covered in ashes just by being in town (Teras). Don't ask how long it took me to figure out how to get the darn stuff off...

05:51 PMDoes the ash have any negative effects on you?

08:10 PMWhy yes it does, Buckwheet... it completely covered up my carefully coordinated outfit!

Just joshin' with ya! I was only in Teras for a couple of days, but I encountered a little trouble when I went to play with the Wind Wraiths. In order to get down into the Wind Wraith area, you have to jump off some cliff. The other two people in my hunting group jumped off the cliff with no problem... I'm standing on top jumping around like some madwoman, and not going anywhere! My two hunting partners were screaming at me to jump and offering other helpful advice (snort), but nothing was working. Finally, a local hunter came by, rubbed all the ash off of me and I was able to jump off the cliff. There are probably other drawbacks to the ash, but I was paranoid about the stuff after that and kept dusting myself off!
