Shields block arrows. Originally shields would block projectiles that hit you from the front even if you were walking. However a long time ago Graal was updated that broke that functionality, and it was never fixed. Now they only block if you're standing still. Upgraded shields would block stronger versions of projectiles(fireballs, fireblasts, nukes), but that's a useless addition to iClassic.

That's about as much blocking as you're going to get. This isn't a JPRG. You're not going to get individual armor slots and you're not going to have hitrate and block rates and all that elaborate stuff. Graal has a simple combat design and it's going to stay that way.

The kind of blocking I was thinking of was the kind where you just hold a button to block things in front of you. Nothing really complicated like block rates and hitrates.

-Mini Boat Tool: When next to water you can hop on a mini boat that allows slight faster speed when traveling by water. In addition to this mini boat there could be two small attached cross bows on each side of your Graalians that would allow you to fire in water. The crossbows would deplete ammo from your arrow inventory. There could also be a wait time to prevent players from spamming arrows at baddies/players in water for easy kills.

-Grand Chest Key: You know how there's a large amount of chests on Graal that are there for decoration rather than opening? All (or large majority) of them should be locked and openable for players with this key. They would be located in various parts of Graal for the player to search and unlock. Ranging from easy to hard locations carrying 10-100 Gralats.

-Minion: Have a little henchman follow you around Graal. You could collect different kinds in different dungeons. Even making them customizable would be cool. Each with their own special ability. Increases health by .5 every 10-15 seconds, gives small shield that breaks when hit, but saves .5 of your life, increases bomb capacity, etc.

-Pickaxe: Mine in caves for Graals one of a kind jewels in which you can sell to your local blacksmith, create furniture items with (Example: Red-Ragnarok chair), disguises being able to hide under your own rock, etc.

-Magic Ability: Each dungeon could give the player an ability that allows them to do certain things. One ability could be to slightly increase running speed for 10 seconds while another can be to create a barrier around ones self for 5. The cool down would vary for each ability depending on it's power. One would only be able to be equipped at a time.

I like the mini boat idea. There could also be boat only areas (south of Yorkton maybe) where a boat is required for transport. Kind of like in those Pokemon games you weren't really able to go upstream unless you took a ferry.

That's sort of what I was thinking with my shield idea.

Also, wouldn't it be cool to have your sword unsheathed while walking through a PK zone. Tap the sword button once and you have Ye' Ole Faithful out and ready to tear someone a second smile across the throat.

Or maybe as an automatic thing when you enter a PK zone.  

I would like to see items like the trident or boomerang as quest rewards. Or if there are plans for overworld expansion, rewards could include items like the hammer or hookshot to access new places.  

Maybe the reward could be that we finally get to see what's inside that Golden Gate. I like that idea. Anyone else think that sounds good?  

So I'm assuming you're mainly looking for ideas for quest rewards?

I'd say it should be some form of unique item with a (somewhat) practical use.

For example, the witch quest in onnet forest awarded you with a rat, which now has practical use since it can get you into a secret area.  

Bomys.

Quests... but not dungeons. Dungeons will probably have your typical weaponry(and maybe heart) reward. I'm looking for rewards for more minor quests. A hidden cave. A miniature dungeon with a few small puzzles. Stuff like that. That's why it can't be some sort of awesome weapon or such because it's disproportionate to the effort it would take to obtain the reward.  

AHH this will take a while...

Archery needs bets...

RPS needs PvP bets

New RR needs a quest in it.  

Warp scrolls?

The Holy Graals of the Golden Gate sound like a promising prize...

How does this have anything to do with what I posted?

O.o Ya... because going into a cave, pushing one block and getting one of four Graal's sounds reasonable. Are people not reading or something? I said rewards for minor, frequent and easy side-filler content. I also said multiple times it needs to be something that can be rewarded multiple times. There are only FOUR Graal's, that's the complete opposite of the sort of ideas I'm hoping to hear.

I mean, I'm not trying to sound like an ass but it's like a lot of people are ignoring what I've said.  

Then I don't think you have that many options besides gralats. You can go for small, little cheapy items like firework launchers (not furniture). Smoke pellets by helping the big fat man of the forest. Firework arrows (NOT a weapon) that shoot arrows that give off a tiny nonlethal firework explosion afterwards. A variety of potions that give off player effects like growth, shrinking, sparkle aura, speed (you wouldnt be able to drink it anyway if you had low ap so don't freak on this one), fire breath (instead of a horse shooting fire you shoot one pillar of fire after drinking it), and last but not least something that is closely related to eggnog that gives off similar effects.  

An empty bottle.
