Talk:Familiars by availability

Should the Wind-Up Chattering Teeth really be listed under Readily Available? It cannot be obtained through normal adventuring, but only through a skill obtained via a Mr. Store item that is no longer available except through the Mall (or received as a gift from someone else). --Baltar 15:21, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

• I had then down in "Limited Availability", but someone moved them up. They are ever increasing in number as more hilarious items are summoned each day, but they are not tradable (the mall, etc.) b/c they are gift items, they must be gifted to other players. I guess the term "Limited Availability" was interpreted as "available for a limited time" whereas I meant it as "availablity is not broad, ie. limited, restrained, etc." --JRSiebz (☎|§|‡) 16:06, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

Is the NPZR really limited in availability? I can see no components that are not still available without Mr. Store, even though it would take at least three ascencions to get them all. --Saile 18:08, 4 January 2007 (CST)

• There are currently a fixed number of zombie pineal glands in circulation, and (barring a new duplication bug) there probably will never be more. This is again using the interpretation of "limited" that JRSiebz is using above your comment, meaning "limited in number" not "available only for a limited time." --Emtu 18:48, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Hate to say it, but the Ragamuffin Imp *is* 'Readily Available'... to those who know its secret.--Terry 20:00, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

I think that would qualify as 'not readily available', though. Also, since the Exotic Parrot costs 500k meat and the Hound Dog requires 100 filthy lucre, do either of those really count as 'readily available'?Ponder Stibbons 11:20, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

So, where would this be categorized? It's not readily available, as only moxie classes can get it, but it's also not limited availability, as every moxie class can get it. Any thoughts? --flatluigi 19:59, 10 January 2007 (CST)

• It's Limited, because you must be a moxie class to get it, but you can still buy it in the store. It's similar to the chattering teeth. Only a few folks can get it now, but eventually you can get one too. Or start a new Class Dependant category. It sounds like some of the new turtle items might eventually make familiar too. In any case, it should not be under Sign Dependent, because it's not at all sign dependent. --xcorvis 09:41, 19 January 2007 (CST)
