As one of the people who won it, I wouldn't even mind. Provided it cost as much as or more than I paid for it. smile.gif


I would be fine with that >.>

Or the better 925 that Krellan got it for ....

Oh yes, that is something I think everyone would want.

You'd be surprised -- at the time, everyone was saying the second tradeskill slot one was worth more. I chose not to disagree out loud, so as not to drive the price up more.

(For clarification purposes, you can still only skillflex as often as without it. It just doesn't cost 50 lessons each. I am pretty sure I have broken even by now, or if not, I'm awfully close. I lost count a while back. But I skillflex almost every weave.)
Yiila2011-01-01 05:56:22
Ah. I can see how it would be useful, especially for a Demi* with two trade skills, or for a Warrior who wants to flex Tracking/Rituals.
Mirami2011-01-01 06:13:37
Or for those of us non-demis who want to keep multiple tradeskills!

Anyone know offhand if that Endowment stacks with th' Demipower, incidentally?

The Endowment of the Arts does stack with the SecondTradeskill power... and, I really, really wants one.
Aerotan2011-01-01 13:33:26
How much interest would there be for an artifact that allows the owner access to a single domoth's supernumerary powers?

EDIT for clarification: Meaning that a demigod would be allowed to purchase, for instance, the Breath of Life ability, but nothing from one of the other areas. This would not be a free power artie, nor would it increase the amount of Supernumerary points available, just unlocks a domoth, so to speak.

Something which gives the effect of NATURE GUARD.

EDIT: Anything, seriously.

Nature Guard and Growth and Regrowth for Herbalists.

Nature Guard for Cosmic.

Nature Growth for Elementalism.

Arties that provide it.

Go!

Dingbat artifact (75db?)

Shiny Gnomish Watering Can
Lets you WATER PLANTS to enhance their growth (takes balance-- a bit more than nature growth). In addition, if anybody attempts to harvest below ten plants in a room that's been watered, the water will take the form of a miniature gnome and beat back said herbalist's fingers.

No, the artifact should be a garden gnome. happy.gif It'll protect the herbs from being overharvested, and when no one's looking, call for the dew gnomes to tend to the plants. Maybe you get a set of five gnomes, which will remain in place for x period of time and then reset to you.

Nifty idea! Either would be awesome, but just have -something- that protects herbs.

I feel like it completely depends on what you're going for. If you want constant and permanent access to all the abilities, Endowment is worth far more. If you don't need constant access but are just willing to switch as-needed (essentially you're just switching for the ability to create stuff), then the Cords are better.

Just looking at them from that standpoint, however, I feel it's pretty clear why Endowments went for so much more. For example, I'm on the verge of buying a fourth active tradeskill to have all at once... though I've not actually decided whether I want to, or just keep Bookbinding as a temporary skill to use when I need it.

I want my tradeskill slot too, but I still need my essence refund. sad.gif

I hope they didn't forget about it. ._.
Unknown2011-01-03 03:53:05
I'd be happy with being able to buy either an endowment or a cord, not picky over which.

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."

Quote Mr. Churchill correctly!

Permit of Trade(~50cr?)

Allows another trade to be applied to a cartel. (still have to pay the 500k for the cartel fee)


I don't want to have to pay for a clan for every trade I want private designs in. . .

I prefer Chesterton on democracy!-

"It is a true and deep and instinctive assumption of the equality of citizens, which even voting and elections have not destroyed"


Regarding the artifacts- yes, the tradeskill/skillflex ones really do need to hurry up and become publically available.
