It would be great if we could buy furniture in Lusternia. People with the Woodcraft ability in the Arts skill could make all kinds of nifty furniture and use tinctures to paint plain wood furniture. How about:

Beds
You would sleep more soundly and quickly when sleeping on a bed. Also, tailors could make blankets, quilts, pillows, ect.

Bookshelves
Simply a place to put books and knickknacks.

Desks
It would be easier to write here. You could store paper and partialy finished documents in your desk drawers.

Dressers
A place to store your extra clothes.

Cabinets
You could store empty vials, herbs, or commodities here.

End Tables
Proudly display those knickknacks!

Jewelry Cabinets
To store your jewelry in.

Dining Tables and Chairs
You could have group meals here.

Ice Chest
You could store food here and it wouldn't decay as fast.

Any other ideas for furnishings?

Hmm Dressers, jewelry cabinets.. what if they were just safes that looked like these items but just customized for their intended use? They could be cheaper than the actual safe because they can only be used to store one type of thing?
Richter2005-02-19 08:15:56
Please god, yes.

And make them -not expensive-.
mel2005-02-19 09:38:22
YES, we -must- have furniture and all those ideas look great! ... the only downside I can see is wood comms suddenly becomming rare (I assume most would be made of wood)

Because the only source of wood is bashing Glom or chopping in Serenwilde. We need more ways to up wood production.

Maybe there would be some way to plant lots of new trees. Some kind of Lusternian CCC, maybe? Because, it would probably take quite a few wood commodities to make a piece of furniture and that would get rather expensive.

It would seem a bit silly to have locking dressers, wouldn't it? Besides, furniture is usually made out of wood, and safes are made out of metal.

Make an area with ents that hate ALL life including the Seren the most....so the freaks dont try and protect them. And when you kill em they can be hacked up for wood. Have a bunch of different size ones that drop more wood the bigger they are.

And while they are at it, make golems you can kill that dump marble and sea creatures you can cut up for fish commodities to use yourself......like achaeas old butcher command you could butcher your own cows or certain fish types to get your own direct comms.

How about pianos? That would be a nice piece of furniture, especially if you could actually play it smile.gif

TVs are out of the picture? How about a washing machine made from steel powered by Aquamancer powers that slowers clothes' decaying process?
Richter2005-02-20 11:01:01
Or... not.
Ialie2005-02-20 12:19:10
OOOOOOOOH How about computers that allow us to code in our manses.



-kidding.

These ideas are original and amazing. I would -love- to see things like this.

Pianos are a neat idea! I'm not sure how the washing machine would work. Maybe a washtub with a scrubboard?

AB ARTS FURNITURE
Syntax:
DESIGNS
CONSTRUCT

Your artistic skill in woodworking and ironcraft has elevated to such skill that you are able to construct elaborate furniture for use in aether manses. This furniture, being extraordinarily heavy, is immobile. Furniture types are: Beds, tables, chairs, cabinets, dressers, and stands. Additional furniture-related commands can be found in HELP FURNITURE. If furniture is made in a shop stockroom, it can be bought, though its carrier will suffer extreme endurance penalties as he staggers under its weight.

HELP FURNITURE
Skilled artists are able to create furniture for aether manses. These wonderful creations, which include beds, tables, chairs, cabinets, dressers, and stands, can store objects, be sat on, and may even provide benefits to its users. Furniture related commands are below:

SLEEP - While sitting on the bed, you lie back and go to sleep, Waking up will cause you to sit up again.
STAND - Get off the bed.
MAKE (bed) WITH (blanket) - Using a blanket, sewn by a tailor, you can neatly make your bed to make it more comfortable. (would also change look description)
UNMAKE (bed) - Removes the blanket from the bed.

Tables
PUT (item) ON (table) - Place an item on top of a table.

Chairs:
SIT ON (chair) - Provides a small endurance gain. Y'know, because you're sitting.
PULL (chair) TO (desk) - Pull yourself forward so that you're sitting at the desk.
ROCK - In a rocking chair, you will start rocking back and forth. In a regular chair, you just lean your chair back on its rear legs.

Cabinets:
PUT (item) ON SHELF (number) OF (cabinet) - The multi-shelved cabinets can store things on different shelves.
GET (item) FROM SHELF (number) OF (cabinet) - The reverse of the above command. Duh.

Dressers:

OPEN/CLOSE DRAWER (number) OF (dresser) - Opens/closes dresser drawers.

Stand:

Master bedroom.
A handsome oak bed stands here, covered in a blanket of forest green. An ornately carved oaken nightstand is here. An oaken chair with a green cushion sits here. A stately oaken desk is here. An oaken cabinet with a glass front stands here. Blastron is here, leaning back on an oaken chair, pulled up to an oaken desk.

Unoriginal? Yes. Am I overtired? Most certainly.

I'm begging for bookshelfs and while I'm at it how about actual books? Please. Preserving letters and throwing them on the floor is not only expensive but a damper on the setting.
Desdemona2005-02-21 19:02:52
Kavi's Desk idea would help you file letters better. Oh, and another piece of furniture that was left out file cabinets biggrin.gif

About the washing machine.... Yeah, the washtub and the scruboard would be more rustic so easy to make. At least I think it should.
Unknown2005-02-24 04:54:01
Yeah, I think a washtub type thing would fit the setting better.

How should people get furniture from the shop to their house? Maybe they would need to use a horse?

Furniture would be nice. thumup.gif
