As stated in the public news post, I've started creating public designs. I noted that there was only one kind of sling, so now the realms will find that there are two more, and four others are on the way, on for each colour tint.

I've decided to leave the "cool" designs for my private designs, such as my midnight blue renegade armour, or the risque red leather armour. My public designs will be ones that benefit you all, such as that lack of sling designs. I, of course, will be selling these, but any forger is able to make them.

If you want more public designs, message me in game, in character, and we'll go from there.

Forging seems awesome in Lusternia. Makes me kind of wish I were a smith and had my own cartel. And wear entirely custom made armour (if I have the idea of forging right). Lusternia could probably host a real heraldry period.

Richter make some armour for everyone! Oh, and will you ever get a shop in your Manse? You seem organized in the business sense.

Only problem I have with Forging in Lusternia is that you require so much comms and some of them are quite expensive and you don't make that much back. It's probably by far the most expensive tradeskill and has to tie in bringing in the worst amount of gold back, probably tied with Poison.

Trying to get a store, but the cost is insane, and I can no longer throw $200 at a time to IRE.

And I'm working on getting all custom armour for me, heh... Darksteel helm, renegade armour, Tetra, the elemental scourge, and more to come.

And the blackanvil stuff. A rose-emblazed tower shield, some fullplate, custom broadies, etc. etc.

Yep, Black Anvil and the Merchant's Guild are two awesome forging cartels!

All fear the shrub trademaster.

anyway you can give that cartel a new trademaster so we can submit stuff? *Beg*

Tsk. A pity you got shrubbed, eh?

Is there an unshrubbing process?

I'd love for my character to start his own forging cartel but 1 mil in gold seems way to much just for private designs. Unless I read the help files wrong and it's only 500k?

Unless by some Divine intervention that the trademaster is unshrubbed, the cartel cannot be given away or traded to another. The private cartel is personal property and cannot be given away, for any reason. (The same policy exists in Achaea, as I understand it)

We're trying, as Richter put time/effort/etc into it also. Just like clan head, right?

And no, a cartel will cost you a million gold. The upgrade is 500k.

seems silly to hurt all the people who put time and gold into a cartel just because one person got shrubbed.

Which is why Riyo is trying to turn it over to me.

"Hear my call Divine!"
