Ok here is the current Golden paintbrush


Golden Paintbrush: 400 credits
- This magical paintbrush will halve the amount of paint needed when
painting landscapes or portraits (if you have the skill).
- Preparing palettes of paint will create 3x the amount of applications than
normal.
- You will double the number of tints you create.
- Must be wielded when using.

In my opinion it is too expensive for its use. More use still could not outweight its price I wouldnt think so here is my suggestion.


Golden Paintbrush: 200 credits
- This magical paintbrush will halve the amount of paint needed when
painting landscapes or portraits (if you have the skill).
- Preparing palettes of paint will create 3x the amount of applications than
normal.
- You will double the number of tints you create.
- You will create glasswork in half the time.
- If you have the skill of tarot you will inscribe twice as fast as usual.
- Must be wielded when using.

It adds two more whole effects.. ooo... but it also halfs the price.. 200 credits is still quite a bit for something that crafts more tints.. I knew one person to own one of these... he doesnt anymore, sold it \\back because it wasnt worth it.

Suggestions? Comments? Concerns?

You've made a useful but over-priced arti, twice as useful and ridiculously underpriced....

Then suggest? What should it cost? If no one wants to buy surely there is a reason? Have to have the skills in art then spend 400 credits to be able to make extra tints and better palettes.. and master palettes are a very good thing.

Some people have already paid 400cr for this artifact. As such, you can bet the price will -not- be changing as it would require quite a bit of work to reimburse everyone who has one 200cr, etc.

Keep the one we have now and lower the cost, or keep the cost and add more functionality.

Yes.. sorry. That wasn't very helpful. With your additions, move it up to 500. And plenty of people have em, they are quite useful. They can save you an absolute -fortune-. Consider how much they save, and then compare it to something like a jeweller's hammer or gloves of mastery... and that 400 creds is a snip!

I see no reason why it should be moved up with just those two abilities added to it. They are nice upgrades - if the artifact costs too much, the general way of handling it is to make it a bit better. At least, that's what has been done in the past with the puzzle and tailoring sheers and the like.

Then could gloves of mastery get a similar boost? Please? Because right now, my math says it'd take at least 20 years to pay them off as an alchemist. No, not 20 years IG, 20 OOC years. Or maybe make a new alchemy artifact and leave the gloves of mastery as they are for enchanters.

Gloves of mastery are profitable only if your an enchanter. It would suck if you are an alchemist.
