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?


You can upkeep 10x per day (1x per hour). At end of day (game month), your harvest will net 1-3 commodities per upkeep (i.e, 10-30 per day).

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

Yes, the gem one adds a line to QL in the room about crystals on the ground.

Oh, I almost forgot. ANYONE can upkeep a commodity room but only the owner can harvest!

I love the new items!

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.


This.

Illusion staff. I'd definitely be a buyer.


I hope you're kidding tongue.gif I can't tell. This would be aggrivating, especially as a dingbat item. We don't need another must have toy mucking things up, especially one that would have everyone running about pairing illusions with things.

The Clangoru Charm would be very cool to have as a dingbat arti.

Man, I'm waiting for the 50 room chicken farm.

Oh I'd love to have a manse stable for my army of rainbow coloured cross-dressing beasts.
Vadi2011-02-01 01:12:49
By illusion staff, I meant one that casts an illusion in the room - fake lines. Not stuff you'd attach to items.

Some of the even older auction artifacts would be cool, such as wand of ice, dice, and pentagon.

NO to wands of ice.

And the spin the bottle artie too!

-sets into motion Harvest Moon/Recettear manse shop hybrid-

Also, bump for the magic chisel as a dingbat artie, please.

Also, no thanks on the combative arties -> dingbat arties, please.

*gasp* Harvest Moon! I can become even less fightingness! Woo! Must get them now, but I can't...get credits...meeeeeeer. See, this is why I want to get dingbats as just dingbat.

I've added the Charm of Clangoru to Pinky!

The stable I'm reserving for a normal credit artifact.

BTW, the dingbat promotions are set by IRE so I don't have that much flexibility with them. I will note, however, that elite members get monthly dingbats which are tradeable! Thus, there should be more dingbats in the system which can be traded for, etc.

Clearly elite needs to provide more dingbats. sad.gif

Also: Chisel for 100-dingbat-item!

You can buy dingbats from people with credits, it's just a pain. It's kind of like buying gold with money, except slightly more annoying.

EDIT: Chromapen seems like it's perfect for a dingbat artie.

I mean, I get that, but the trouble is that it is very difficult to actually get dingbats in a way that it isn't difficult to get credits; I've been trying for weeks to buy some with little success because there apparently just isn't much circulation. Most people just don't have them or aren't selling, and for this reason I'd expect that new dingbat artifacts will receive significantly less usage than they would as credit artifacts (even after you increased the price to convert from db to cr). There are lots of dingbat arties I'd love to have but I'm not able to buy them. I dunno if there's anything you can do about this though.

Something I've been wondering, related to this. Now that there is a constant stream of dingbats in the mix, would you consider creating a system of selling dingbats similar to the credit market?
