How to Collect all the Framer Kits

There are a LOT of framer kits out there now for our adventure plates and dungeon portraits. But where to find them all?

You don't need to go hunting it up on websites; the game will tell you!

Open up your Portrait menu. I'll use a currently unused plate of Aeryn's.

Select "Edit" above the center portrait. On that page, where it lets you select the Presets, Background, Frame, and Accent, there are the usual arrows, but also a page icon, the Background paper button boxed in yellow below to contrast with my dark mode UI.

At the top of that submenu are options to show obtained or unobtained, and also how/where you get the various backgrounds.

Filtering out the ones I own, I see I can get A "Heaven's Orthodoxy" (among others) and at the bottom of the list, it tells me where I can get it (from Khloe Aliapoh in Idyllshire; never free of that kitten...)

There are plenty out there! Every Allied Society has a framer kit now, talking to old Jonathas in Gridania about your achievements will nab a few, turning in bicolor gems to various vendors will add a few more, PvP for Job frames...the list goes on! The second dropdown in the submenu will give you ideas of all the ways to find kits.

And yes, it works exactly the same way for previewing Adventure Plate options!

Go forth, and make your WoL's ID cards pretty!

Hey y'all, this is for everybody that has an iPhone

My phone updated to iOS 18.3.1 last night and immediately when I unlocked it the first time, it asked me to set up Apple Intelligence, even though I had turned that off when I first got the phone. So, here's how you turn off Apple Intelligence:

1) go to Settings and scroll to the "Apple Intelligence & Siri" tab

2) Toggle off "Apple Intelligence"

3) Back in the regular Settings menu, scroll down the to bottom and select "Privacy & Security"

4) Scroll down and select "Apple Intelligence Report" in the Transparency Logs section

5) In the drop down menu, select Off

6) You will get a pop up that says "Stop recording Apple Intelligence activity?" Click Ok

This is sincerely the most annoying and sneaky way to add AI to devices. I wouldn't have even seen the Apple Intelligence Report if I hadn't been trying to mess around with FindMyiPhone

Had a few folks interested in how I made the patches I posted for Solarpunk Aesthetic Week, so I thought I'd give y'all my step-by-step process for making hand-embroidered patches!

First, choose your fabric and draw on your design. You can use basically any fabric for this - for this project I'm using some felt I've had lying around in my stash for ages.

Next, choose your embroidery floss. For my patches I split my embroidery floss into two threads with 3 strands each, as pictured. You can use as many strands in your thread as you prefer, but for the main body of my patches I prefer 3 strands.

Next you're going to start filling your design using a back stitch.

First, put in a single stitch where you want your row to start.

Poke your needle up through the fabric 1 stitch-length away from your first stitch.

Poke your needle back down the same hole your last stitch went into so they line up end-to-end.

Repeat until you have a row of your desired length (usually the length of that colour section from one end to the other). Once you have your first row, you're going to do your next row slightly offset from your first row so that your stitches lay together in a brick pattern like this:

Make sure your rows of stitches are tight together, or you'll get gaps where the fabric shows through.

Rinse and repeat with rows of back stitch to fill in your patch design.

When you're almost to the end of your thread, poke your needle through to the back of the fabric and pull the thread under the back part of the stitching to tuck in the end. Don't worry if it looks messy - no one's gonna see the back anyway.

This next step is fully optional, but I think it makes the patch design really pop. Once your patch is filled in, you can use black embroidery floss to outline your design (or whatever colour you want to outline with - it's your patch, do what you want). I use the full thread (6 strands, not split) of embroidery floss to make a thicker outline.

I use the same back stitch I used to fill the piece to make an outline that adds some separation and detail. You could use most any 'outlining' stitch for this, but I just use back stitch because it's just easier for me to do.

Once you're finished embroidering your patch, it's time to cut it out!

Make sure to leave a little border around the edge to use for sewing your patch on your jacket/bag/blanket/whatever, and be careful not to accidentally cut through the stitches on the back of the patch.

If you have a sturdy enough fabric that isn't going to fray, you can just leave it like this. If not, I recommend using a whip stitch/satin stitch to seal in the exposed edges (I find that splitting your embroidery floss into 3-strand threads works best for this).

And then you're done! At this point you can put on iron-on backing if you want, or just sew it on whatever you wanna put it on. Making patches this way does take a long time, but I feel that the results are worth it.

Thanks for reading this tutorial! I hope it was helpful. If anyone makes patches using this method, I'd love to see them! 😁
