As the title suggests, I'm interested in making those various verbs in Imperian that are OLDER THAN YOU (seriously, many of them are actually older than a lot of players) more user-friendly, like my recent Elixlist change.
What I'm trying to achieve here are things that cut back on the coding on the user's side. Like with elixlist, I made it so you don't need to code all ridiculous things in order to count your number of vials and how many uses and present them after gagging everything the game-side shows up. I want to provide all that fresh and clean for everyone.
Please use this thread to bring to light some ideas and I'll certainly fix them.

Weaponlist is missing the green-numbers change II, IH and elixlist recently received.
The one other thing off the top of my head is that checking GROVE ENERGY costs 1 energy, for some strange reason.

Isn't perform enlightenment in the same boat?
One thing I can think of is being able to somehow display the Imperian VNUM in the room titles. That can be turned on or off with a config option. That way you don't have to constantly check MAP to see what the vnum is.

I believe it also costs essence to check your essence, and yes, it costs devotion to check your devotion.
...Which, while I agree is kinda silly, at least it seems to be fair across the board. It doesn't cost anything to check your attunement, but you can only do so at the Master Crystal, so...a wash.

Kai, Devotion, Attunement, Essence and Sanguis can be checked without cost using a custom prompt. Grove Energy should be able to be displayed there as well.
Kialae, thanks for the excelent work. An observation: elixlist was not only used for getting how much of everything you have (or don't have), but also to gather the decay time of vials, so crafters know when to repair their own vials, and the rest to pour the content of the vial to a newer one. Maybe an option like ELIXLIST DECAY #, that would show the vial ID, content and time left if the time is lower than #?

Katherine: OMG. I am totally humbled. Galt is telling me not to argue. I will crawl into my hole and die quietly.
Khizan: When the time comes, I'll be ready. Others will flinch at their duty. Not me. I know the signs, I know what to look for, and I know what has to be done. I'm still not looking forward to explaining to my boss why I took a crowbar to a patient's head, though.

It actually doesn't cost anything to check your essence. :U
Then again, it only costs 0,27% devotion to check your devotion, or a similar low number.

This !!! as well as on weaponlist and armourlist showing how much longer you have your armour. I just lost 3 full sets of fieldplate and plate secondaries and I could have tossed them to a smith to be melted down, you know with the Cuhpfehr shortage and all.

There is no cuhpfehr shortage. Laia's a jerk, and she's hoarding it all in order to forge her own personal cuhpfehr mountain.

If anyone took that as a serious statement towards Laia, they clearly need to go to special classes.

I like this idea, and I'll see about doing it when I fix weaponlist/armorlist (and add it there too).

Simple change, but can the automatic wrapwidth for when you start Imperian for the first time remain at 80.
Thanks
Give us a different "objectname" for jousting lances than knight lances. Hate having to find space to store them all.
Update all the help scrolls with the changes that have been announced in posts. Finding out some things is near impossible even though you know they exist, such an example of this was the number of hills in a KotH event, only found that out by accident.
