Hey all, this is my first time on this site. I've been reading Sanderson since 2014 and haven't stopped since, the only remaining books I haven't read by him (at least in the Cosmere) are the short stories which I hope to buy or receive this Christmas. Him and Patrick Rothfuss are constantly duking it out in my mind to be my favorite author. So yeah, that's me. I also really really want the leatherbound of Elantris and am just waiting for them to restock, so any news on that would be awesome.

Hello there! Welcome to the Shard, and don't take any cookies.

They are Hemalurgic Spikes. Not much of an upgrade for Returned or Radiants.

Pat would win a fight between him and Brandon with the power of his glorious beard.

 

Anyway welcome to the Shard.

Do you art?

Do you art?

No I'm not gifted in that area unfortunately, but I have enjoyed browsing the art on here.

So this is actually the first forum I've ever joined about anything, so what are the things like 266 Mistings, 546 King's Wit, and I have 1 Spren apparently?

First of all, it's not generally accepted to double post. Usually, either wait for someone else to reply or edit your previous post. Second, look at the boxes with a green up arrow and a red down arrow. You can upvote posts by clicking on the green arrow and downvote them with the red one.

The different numbers of upvotes translate to different ranks. 266 is apparently in the range for Misting, 1-5 for spren. Etc. there are also negative ranks, -100 being the enviable rank of Zucchini. Also, you can only vote once per post, and it is not unheard of for people to accidentally downvote posts, leading to the post of 'Accidental Downvote'. Also, there is a limit to the number of upvotes one can bestow a day. I have not reached this limit yet, but other Sharders have.

I did once. I went through and upvoted almost all of Brandon Sanderson's posts.

I had to resume the next day, unfortunately.

You really want to watch the world burn with that profile picture lol.
