I wouldn't mind the symbol of the gods just so I could touch it to match my patron.

I like that Chisel. A lot ohmy.gif

We have auctions!

I have to say though, this is the first time I've looked at an auction list and not said, "Wow, I really want THAT!"

So, if I was an herbalist druid, and had a big ol' aethermanse, could I make my own herbing forest with that tree dealie?
Ilyarin2007-12-04 20:19:09
No, you would probably just be able to CLIMB UP/CLIMB DOWN. Herbs can't survive in aether manse environments.

I'm thinking you get CLIMB UP, kinda like the wind artifact gives you FLY, but nothing else.

EDIT: Ok, fine, you can have a turn to ninja too.

From the description, it sounds like you could grow any trees... If so, wouldn't you be able to plant saplings? And then eventually chop them down for wood? drool.gif
Ilyarin2007-12-04 20:25:19
I don't think so. I think it just grows into trees itself, and that's it's job done: you have a set of trees there you can climb.

Yeah, sounds like it. Slow, but a druid would have wood for life with that artifact.

Edit: That sounds the -right- way to do it, but the description makes me think otherwise. Maybe?

6 credits (lowest possible bid) = 27000 gold
Trees hit 500 pounds (5 wood) in about three IC years.
Wood sells for 50 gold each in villages.

Time for profit if arti sells for 6cr: 324 IC years

This is still assuming you can, and I bet you can't. tongue.gif
Eldanien2007-12-04 20:28:30
Divided by the number of rooms in your manse. Again, still if.
Noola2007-12-04 20:34:00
Pfft... it'd still be neat. tongue.gif

But mostly, I want to fly! fly.gif

Maybe she just really likes to have...

er, I seriously have to sit here and think how to write this so it won't be horribly twisted. The original reply was "maybe she just likes to fill her entire rift with wood." That set off about twelve "too easy" alarms, so I'm going to go with:

"Maybe she just wants to make sure that she'll always have enough firewood to roast marshmallows with!"

And you know what happens when two people are alone in a manse roasting marshmallows.

This thread is about the auctions, not hot wood in manses! sad.gif sad.gif

Again assuming it works the same as the flight one, it's just one room.
Ildaudid2007-12-04 20:39:46
Hope it doesn't make cosmic summons too powerful, nor fae. Could you imagine a redcap that did 2000 bleeding cuz of this rune whatthe.gif

They look neat, but I don't see any I could use cept the chisel, which would be use to destroy statues, if it doubled the comms from the statue that would rock. But the time would have that the chisel took off would have to be sufficient enough for me to be able to get into places and tear down enough statues before I am killed.

Actually, the appeal wasn't so much for myself as far as the wood goes. I'm not even a druid. Though it would be awesome if you could grow trees... cause when I get to the forest part of my manse I'd love there to be actual trees! I was mostly thinking about how neat it would be for artisans. laugh.gif

But even if it doesn't let you plant real trees, I'll still prolly get some of these for that part of the manse (cause by the time I get to those rooms this arti will be for regular sale! laugh.gif ) just for the climbing fun.

But really, I really, really want that wind! laugh.gif If I don't manage to get it in this auction, I'll be one of the first to buy it when it goes on regular sale!
