In this week's Five on Friday we cover Vortex llamas, Titles, and jack of all trades.

I casted two Energy Vortex llamas in a row. What is the chance of casting them?

One in five hundred :)

Will the SA client allow for all the appropriate titles to be read on the paper doll? Currently many champ spawn titles or skill titles get clipped or omitted.

While I don’t believe the SA client will handle the titling different, we’re exploring options for giving players the option to directly choose their available titles!
This has come into focus because the Champ Spawn title system only tracks the top titles available, and none of the others you’d qualify for at lower levels. It would be great to allow you to choose whichever ones you’d earned, even the lower ones. Some people might like “Torment of the Pit” (Middle Level, Abyssal Infernal) more than “Agony of the Pit” (Top Level, Abyssal Infernal).

You posted the table displaying titles for defeating Champ bosses and the Harrower, but how do you get the Harrower titles? I have completed all of the Champs with my tamer and numerous Harrowers, but have yet to get the Harrower titles.

The Harrower titles *should* take precedence over the other titles, and become available when you defeat a Harrower. The Harrower title levels are based on how many additional Champions you’ve defeated, with the first one starting at “Spite of Evil” working upwards.
However, if you’ve defeated the Harrower, turned on your titles, and defeated at least one Champion and *still* don’t see “Spite of Evil” or “Opponent of Evil” then it sounds like something is broken!

Will there be a new set of steal-ables with SA? If so, can you give us any hints as to whether they are going to be useable, deco or weapons?

Yep! We’re planning to seed them all over the Underworld, Stygian Abyss, Tomb of Kings, and a few in Ter Mur itself.

How does jack of all trades work is it passive? like does it give you 20+ skills until you surpass 20 skill or does that 20 skill stack ontop of 120 skill? or are elves just in the hole 20? can i be a gm and have used a 120 scroll and it be the same as having 120 skill?

A human with the Jack of All Trades ability is treated as having 20 "free" points in each skill. Once the player surpasses the 20 "free" points, the player is treated as having their actual skill level. A player that has used a 120 skill scroll and has 100 natural skill points is treated as having 100 points in the skill as they have already surpassed the 20 "free" points limit.
