They already made that, I think in an auction.

The Great Rune of Spatial Glasswork, but for kegs. Place one normal keg in your shop and attach one end of the rune to it. Attach the second end of the rune to another keg. Now, whenever a fill is bought from the keg in the shop, one is instead taken from the keg that the other end of the rune is attached to. Would make shopkeeping much, much easier.

So what are some of your favorite artifact ideas that are in this thread that haven't been released? For that matter, do you have any new artifact ideas? Inquiring minds want to know!

(And I'm wondering about serious artifacts, not whimsical dingbat artifacts.)

The aetherdock/aetherport artifact. The one allowing manses to be connected, and aetherships docked on manses.

To condense my ideas a bit...

Keg-rune of Spatial Glassworking. Like for vials, but when a vial is filled from a keg, the fill is instead drained from another keg. Mostly for shops (having one master-keg and several slave-kegs in different shops).

Spheres of Spatial Distortion (or some other fancy name): Put one of the spheres in a room, and the other in another room. Whatever is in the first room shows up in the second room, and works just as if it was actually there. Again, in my mind, mostly for shops (dropping the first in a manse shop and the second in an org shop, for instance).

Miniature Rune of Stability: Makes a miniature permanent and boost its level by one. If offered, the miniature will return within the hour as with all artifacts. Would be able to be stacked (so 40 of these runes would boost it to permanent level 40). Perhaps add a restriction that they don't work on enchanted miniatures.

I think I had a few others as well, but now they slip my mind...

Suggestions:
-Addition Damage Type runes for weapons
-Runes that reduce mana/ego costs/drain by about 10%, in the style of Nature Torc, MagiCrown, or Roseglasses.
Turnus2011-10-27 19:57:37
A suggestion for a new artifact (or maybe even a dingbat item) - an item that you can activate/deactivate (or follows you around) and provides roomwide moving benefits of palm sigil. Would be nicely convenient without really being balance breaking.

Also a figurine rune that lets an offered figurine reset to you albeit at level 1.

There are already runes that reduce mana/ego usage by 20%. They were sold at auctions once or twice.
Estarra2011-10-28 18:26:08
Keep the ideas coming!

:wub:
Ssaliss2011-10-28 18:32:10
Oh, and one rune I doubt will happen, but...

Keg/cube rune level 0: Adds no additional benefits to a keg but makes it count as runed (and, of course, permanent/resetting). Can be upgraded to a Great Rune of Spatial Expansion (the level 1 keg/cube rune) just like other levelled runes.

Zarquan:

And I'm asking that either those or a lesser version thereof be made available like they generally eventually do with auction arties.

Speaking of auction arties, I wouldn't be adverse to paying for infinite use health/mana/ego vials...
Ssaliss2011-10-28 18:49:21
I wouldn't agree with the infinite vials being available myself, but I would want to see the runes that make vials auto-refill from a keg become generally available. Would also reduce the amount of vials around (I can easilly picture people running around with 20+ vials for health right now).
Ssaliss2011-10-28 18:53:28
Oh, and look at that coincidence. The auctions have been cleared.

Jumbo Can of Garridan's Best Beastie Chow - Instantly ages your young beasts to adult. Crikey!

More ideas likely to be added as they come <.<;;

Edit: Cross post from dingbat ideas

-Postmaster's Bell: Allows for custom delivery message for manse post offices. (like bats/owls/wakabi/harried trill/orb that the cities/communes have)

- Pilgrim's Badge: Touch to customize to your Order, instant teleport to your God's Fulcrux

- Charter of Thespis- Manse artifact that allows for a customizable stage and backstage room to be built.

-Puzzler's Pack/Satchel: 100 item slow decay capacity pack that locks and unlocks with a special combination of actions/ random for each owner. (I.e. You close your satchel allowing the complicated fastenings to snap into place, sealing it. You poke your satchel and the complex fastenings shift and move beneath your touch. You tug the fastenings on your satchel. They snap into place and it opens!)


Edit 2 :
Paybox: Allows you to pay stable fees from any plane.

Also support for that aethermanse dock idea to connect two manses. Reversable.

Bobo's Piggy Bank: Allows you to deposit and withdraw from your personal bank account with no withdrawal fee.

I think there was one earlier that increased how much your feed counted for when determining beast appearance. If not,

BEASTMASTER'S FOOD FORTIFIER:

Makes each food consumed count for twenty five normal feeds when determining beast appearances.
Xenthos2011-10-28 19:52:24
I still would like an artist bag or satchel of some kind that:
1) Lets you store vellum without decay (using Rift implementation, so the objects don't actually 'exist' while they are in it)
2) Store blank sketches in the same way
3) Store blank canvasses in the same way
4) Store blank letters in the same way.

Maybe up to a total of a thousand items.

Let's do this!

-Cement boots - gives increased summon resistance at the cost of less movement or possibly a gravity effect.

-Alchemist's pocketwatch - lets you sprinkle salt/sulfur for free.

-Crumkane's cookie - a cookie that you can eat over and over and over for some sustenance. Usable twice per game day.

-Beastmaster's whistle - allows you to whistle beasts and they will come to you from any plane/bubble. No more need to beast dismiss and beast summon again. Halves eq time from whistling too.

-Minimap - catacombs map for the user only, doesn't take entourages (player, etc), stopped by distort.

-Scorpion's Tail - lets you envenom your weapons with any poison.

-Ranger's toolbelt - laying traps won't cost comms, but disarming gets you nothing.

-Boots of Shanth - Increased movement beyond that that of the winged sandals of haste (+2), basically an upgrade of the sandals. I'd be pretty happy if there was a tier even higher than that.

-stretched skin - +100 tattoo weight to x body part. If you want to gouge people, make one for every body part.

-Tattooists's mark - Cuts the weight of all tattoos on you by a third.

-Divine tattoo - cuts the weight of all tattoos on you by half. Upgrade of the artifact right above this one.

-a supreme deck of arcana - a tarot deck that lets you store as many tarot cards as you want. An artie for motes/runes would also be cool.

-Divine feast - add 40 demi weight, upgrade of manna.

Not a new artifact, but I definitely would want a rune of the magi (and I guess the ego one too), even if it were to be one of the more expensive artifacts.

I like Shuyin's cookie and toolbelt ideas too.

Sojiro:

-Scorpion's Tail - lets you envenom your weapons with any poison.
Would this just mean you don't have to have vials of poison? Ehhhh. I guess there really isn't any true cost to buying poisons, and no one makes much gold off it, so that's fine.

-stretched skin - +100 tattoo weight to x body part. If you want to gouge people, make one for every body part.
FINGERS. I CAN HAZ A 100 WEIGHT FINGER TATTOO?

-a supreme deck of arcana - a tarot deck that lets you store as many tarot cards as you want. An artie for motes/runes would also be cool.
No point in making one for motes, there isn't a point to storing motes.
