Aether clothes!

This snazzy suit allows one to simply type up their own clothes list, allowing them to change clothes at whim without their needing to actually own an enormous wardrobe! Basically it could allow one to not be wearing any clothes, but type up something for each clothing slot , to appear as if they were.

I love those ideas, but the pea sigil possibly defeats the purpose of making an item resetting.

Resetting items aren't destroyed by being put into a Nexus.

I'd assume that these items would be.

Custom exits and entrances are kinda' cheesy, to be quite honest.

Lowe romps in from the east, grinning cheesily.

That kind of thing is, yes. For a very rare auction artifact that would have to be approved (like Demigod entrance/exit/shout messages), it's not quite so bad.

A flash of black lightning strikes the earth and the smell of dried blood and distilled screams fill the air as Xenthos strides in from the east.

Now, to buy the artifact and then enter/leave Lowe's room multiple times...

Don't really like any artifact whose job is to say "hey you, the one that spent all those lessons a trade skill.... neener neener neener." There's too many things bordering on that already. Support your local tailor!

I have no idea what this artifact would physically manifest itself as, but it would replace messaging for the player with something else. It would sort of be like custom stationary, portable mail, and a snazzy delivery system too. Mind you, I have no idea how hard this would be to code or even if it's a good idea at all. unsure.gif

Wishlist:

1. Cross - Manse room linking. (i.e. Person sets room exit to room # of another persons manse, requires auth from other person, I image would be expensive as all get out, exit follows perms of other person's manse.)

2. Manse Shrines (i.e. Shrines to gods that give no effect, but allow you to offer.)

3. Change Manse Room Environment (mentioned before, would change manse room to a different environment than indoor. Does not allow herbs to be planted.)

4. Artifact that allows Demigod Avatars to be walking shrines without effects, allowing offerings.

5. Artifact that makes any plant planted by the herbalist with the artifact to have a chance every two IC months to spread to a adjacent same environment room. (or just make this true for all plants? Please?)

EDIT: Added stuff.

While I can't think of an actual object to do so - but something to allow one to sort through their rift differently? An orb maybe - like a seeing-stone, but would give the ability much like when doing WARES YARROW (to bring up all the yarrow - just an example) to do so with your rift. IR HERB or something - that way you aren't sifting through the information to find just the set you want.

I'd be happy with just the categories, HERB, COMM, TINT, add a sub one for GEMS maybe.

Enchanted Sketchpad
A non-decay, infinite-paged book for sketching things on.
Syntaxes:
SKETCHBOOK Requires charcoal, as usual. Puts a sketch of that item in the book. This page can then be referenced in making things as SKETCHBOOK instead of SKETCH or whatever.
SKETCHBOOK RIP Removes the page with that sketch from the book, turning it into a normal, decaying sketch item.
Basically, this saves you from having heaps of annoying, fast-decaying sketch items cluttering up your pack, and it means you can save those sketches of things like once-only event creatures and stuff.

Might post more soon.

custom stationary, You can have your own design for letters instead of the usual one

Might as well wait for them to be released rather than be impatient and get them on auctions (and possibly paying a higher price.)


almost all the artie's made regular were priced about 200 credits more than the saled item.

Can we please be able to plant flowers on Prime?
Diamante2007-08-02 03:22:26
Some of these already mentioned, but ones I'd like to see.

Prime Housing.

Custom entrance/exit message.

Pyramid rune--Allows multiple enchants to be fashioned upon the enchanted item. (Like aesyra mentioned before)

Boots of waterwalking.

Amulet of returning: Let's you teleport nexus from anywhere save aetherspace and aetherbubbles. Stopped by actions, not monoliths.

Divine keepsake: Imbued with the power to accept offerings.

Mask of disguise: When worn, changes your room desc to "A male/female wearing an ivory mask" can LOOK at the person, and still target them via their real name.

Silver Spiderweb: Works as an infinite web enchant

Onyx orb: Let's bearer use Nighttime specific skills anywhere

Diamond orb: Let's bearer use Daytime specific skills anywhere.

Tome of machination: One time use, allows user to READ TOME (alchmey/tailoring/etc) which gives them a second tradeskill slot, however it can only be learned up to fabled.

um for the tome as much as I would love second tradeskills for my greedy gold making hands, you can still trans that via favours, easily. especially someone like Thoros who must still have like a 470 day TF

I would like to see a pushcart sort of item. Sort of like a mobile shop, but it would only exist when you are in the realms. It would probably hold a lot less items too, but imagine how much fun that could be.

Kalila enters from the east, pushing a ramshackle cart.

Kalila leaves to the south, pushing a wooden cart.

Fun!!!
Malarious2007-08-02 06:08:28
Portable manse: As was suggested earlier could get furniture and all, however would still count on prime, and would be able to take manse artifacts such as privacy gems willpower regen etc.

Greenhouse!
Makes a greenhouse and a holding orb. You can use the orb to 'Harvest' the plant to the orb (the orb can hold up to 5 types or 5 of one type). The herb can be put into the greenhouse, you may then grow the plant normally, with chance it dies during hibernation and respawns later. ALthough you also have to control the area type (swamp, sea, underground).

If not an artifact it could use bunches of trade skills.. artisan to make, jeweler for orb, enchanter to make em work, poisonist to handle bugs, herbs to harvest, etc etc etc.

And YES a deck to hold hermits so they dont decay so fast.

Arty to inscribe faster!

An artifact that can destroy the destinctive mark upon items (if it is your own).

So instead of saying ...

It bears the distinctive mark of Aesyra.

... it would say ...

Its distinctive mark can no longer be discerned.


Yay for trading with enemies!! Please!
Aramel2007-08-02 08:53:43
An artifact that can mask your real race. Sort of like a glorified changeself for those of us who don't have illusions.

Then I could RP, say, a Tae'dae, without suffering the dreadful consequences of being a 9-int Moondancer. sad.gif Or maybe one of those less-loved races. Dwarf, anyone? Or Orclach? It would solve the problem of Utility-getting-in-RP's-way for some people at least.

Pretty please?
