Let us know what you think of the new commodity producing dingbat items! We waffled on releasing them but in the end we decided to go for it.

Also, we released auction artifacts which we thought would make good dingbat items. If there are others you feel should be included, let us know that too!

I think the commodity producing items are pretty neat, especially with how difficult it is to get comms at a reasonable price any more. I'm waiting until the end of the month to see how many commodities you actually get from upkeeping, though. smile.gif

Would you consider adding a more direct way of acquiring dingbats, or just allowing us to buy them directly? It's such a pain in the ass to get them, I'd rather just pay credits for the items.

Likewise.

as to the comm gems. can you upkeep more than one thing within the 10 limit?

How exactly do they work?

You can only Upkeep 1x per hour, and when you harvest you get 1 comm for each time you Upkeeped?

Same. I'd like to buy them, but I don't want all the credits I'd also get from having to buy credits to get the dingbats. I sometimes just want to buy a dingbat item. (and I really don't have a lot of ingame money to spend to buy just dingbats. money is reserved for designs)

I'm interested in the flavour aspect. I don't care much for the trees or fish, but will it make me have a pond and garden in my manse? That'd be cool.
Xiel2011-02-01 01:03:06
When you activate one of the commodity farms in a room, is there something added to the room to let one know it's active in there and what type it is? Cause right now, I have visions of things like 'A herd of cows fills the air with low moos as they graze in the distance.' in my farmmanse.

Also, the doctoral cord, please! Pretty, pretty, pretty please? The high credit cost would be so worth it for that one. dazed.gif
Vadi2011-02-01 01:05:17
Illusion staff. I'd definitely be a buyer.
Sidd2011-02-01 01:05:21
Burning Censers please

They're looking for new dingbat items, not regular artifact suggestions.

Please do not make the doctoral cord a dingbat item.
Xenthos2011-02-01 01:06:10
Chisel could be a dingbat item though!

Can you make the one that does iron also make steel?

I'm pretty sure you'll be expected to get the steel smelter instead.

One does not mine steel.

There is a smelter for sale by Gargle, which turns iron and coal into steel.

Oh, I thought they meant just in general as a release, not as a dingbat item!

I agree with Xenthos that the magic chisel would be a nifty dingbat artifact though.
Xenthos2011-02-01 01:09:35
NPCs can turn iron and coal into steel too.
Talan2011-02-01 01:09:54
Is the manse stable up for general sale?
Unknown2011-02-01 01:10:00
I'd be down with the censers and illusion wand being dingbat items too. Really, even just the censers
