    Weird bricks



    So how does this work? Super glue? Why can the bricks stick together like that? The game usually has realistic buildings that could be done in real life. This? idk man. That cant hold much weight.

    I'm not sure I see the issue.

    I think it could be one of two things. One, something broke through the ceiling. In which case only the bricks where the collision occurred would be affected, leaving the rest as they were. Two, some of the bricks, over time, lost their adhesive and fell down. But the rest are still together, hence the hole.

    But really, we're in a game that has magic, monsters, and primals. So another answer could be MAGIC!

    The bricks are built horizontally. No morter or cement can hold stones in that position. I know this seems completely irrelevant, but its the small things that bug me the most.
    If the bricks were to be built like this the ceiling would have to be arched. This construction should not be able to holdits own weight, let alone anything on top of it.

    It probably is accurate. Remember, there were, and still are, many multistory buildings from ancient times still around today. And each culture had it's own building materials used to create the structures. There are even lost techniques that are more advanced than what we have today. I can't remember what it was/is but there was an article relatively recently that talked about how two college students rediscovered a lost gluing technique that was created over 200 years ago, or something to that effect. Point being, the building is probably okay, lol, XD.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    I get where youre coming from Eloah, the thing is just that we have never seen any historical evidence for such brick ceilings ever. The closest would be the castles with cross beams of wood with tiles, but even those cross beams were the main support.

    Just from a plain physics perspective this is undoubtedly the hardest way to make a weak as all hell ceiling. Arching it would make up for it. Any point on this brickwork is a weakpoint, the force will be applied to a single brick, breaking the whole construction.
    I have yet to see any make anything similar to this.

    The glue is grinded up Allagan tomestones, and we know how much knowledge is hidden inside them.

    Maybe they drill holes and put metal supports in between the bricks.
