    Following the pattern of Portius being too lazy to go to shops and wanting artifacts to enable his laziness:

    Gnomazon Prime Account:

    May REGISTER ACCOUNT at one shop, either aether or normal. Can they do ACCOUNT WARES and ACCOUNT BUY to shop there wherever you are. A delivery gnome will bring your stuff around when you buy it, maybe after a brief (teleport cast time or so) delay.
    Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

    A delivery gnome... or a delivery gnomazon?

    Gnomish somethingclever:

    Cheap artifact to make one tattoo visible through clothing. Can be toggled on or off, but not changed to a different tattoo once set.

  • Can't you set a tattoo as PRIZED and accomplish that already?

    The TATTOOS command for it told me that I couldn't because it was covered. If there's a different command that can accomplish that, I don't know it.

    You may also favour one of your tattoos, which means that one tattoo (so long as it is not covered by clothing) will be visible on a brief examination of yourself.

    Super Mega Ultra Snazzy Shiny Wyrden Rune of Glassworking

    Works like the regular glassworking rune, except better. You can link up to 20 liquids to one vial.

    But it makes you bleed when you drink from those vials.

It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

    You know, I'd love if they offered that.  Though I don't know what I'd do with all my sorcelled vials then.

    If I'm recalling correctly, the clan slot artifact gives one slot, yes? I wouldn't mind seeing one that did five at a go, perhaps with a slight discount.

    Dunno, I find it more convenient to just go and buy a bubble then pop it when I need to join a clan and am out of slots than to consider buying five slots in one go. Chances are you won't get a request to join five clans that you don't have slots for at once.

    I'm more fishing for the Costco theory of bulk purchasing. Buy four, get one free sort of thing.

  • PortiusPortius Likes big books, cannot lie
    Bulk discount would be good for people who are alting and know that they're eventually going to be in a ridiculous number of cartels.

    Or for people that -really just need clan slots-. I am one of those people.

    I really want one of each cartel. It's in my plan.I wouldn't mind getting more slots at a slight discount in bulk, but I'll end up buying them anyways.

    Given the way cartels work in Lusternia it does seem that there's a higher need for clan slots here than in say Achaea.

    So, today I was thinking that having a combat-capable bodyguard would be cool and figured that a custom beast would be the way to do that. To my dismay, humanoid beasts are explicitly forbidden. This displeases me, so I present two options that would make me happy:

    1. Just remove that ban on humanoid beasts, or let manse dwellers buy beast bashing and bodyguard abilities. This is easy but less fluffy. Probably the preferable option, but I like giving alternatives.




    2. We get a new npc-artifact thing that works as a bashing aid. I shall call it a bodyguard.

    A. A bodyguard has health and can be killed like a beast, which puts it on a similar timer before it can be recalled.

    B. Bodyguards can be summoned/dismissed like beasts.
    B1. Maybe allow people to have more than one out at once, up to a cap of X.

    C. Bodyguards have two functions: bashing and bodyguarding.
    C1.These only trigger against denizens and not players to keep it from becoming a PvP necessity. Don't even allow them to trigger against conflict relevenat denizens like fleshpots or spheres, if that's feasible. This does mean that they are killable by players (to get them out of an area once you've chased off the owner, for example) and that they cannot fight back against players who are killing them. Unfluffy, but it does keep them out of PvP.
    C2.The bodyguard should have a significantly lower chance to trigger than beast bodyguard, to avoid either making beasts obsolete or making people who are packing both unkillable.
    C3. Bashing should probably do comparable damage to a beast bash.

    D. They should be customizable just like custom beasts, but allow humanoid designs.
    D1. Maybe sell a few generic models for people who want one but don't want to go to the trouble of designing their own. "A loyal viscanti retainer", "a grizzled aslaran mercenary" or things like that.
    D2. Make the bashing and bodyguarding messages customizable too. Shouldn't matter for systems if they can't target other players.
    D3. Let people choose their bodyguard's damage type. You could default it to blunt or cutting or magic and then let people pay X extra credits to change it to another type. Could scale the price based on the type's general usefulness for bashing.

    ----

    I'd personally go with option 1 for simplicity, but option 2 is cool and maybe not horribly powercreepy.

    I hear Entrias has wayfaire beast eggs for sale in Aerochem for a fraction of what that would cost you.

  • Customizable hair couture. It allows you to change up your hair and the colour of what it looks like at the end of your description. You can change it once every IG month, maybe? It'd probably go for about 100-200 credits.

    Hair curios do this kinda, sorta already?

    Kinda, but not really? Instead of fully customisable hair, you have a set of hair curios to pick from, or choose to go without it. The colour at the end of your description is really cool, and if you could have it the way you wanted it would be even cooler. Would gladly pay 150 credits for the ability to have my hair look like what it did before it was always in a braid with a black ribbon.

    It would have the influence bonus as well. But choosing between some premades can be difficult for people who love customization. It would be a neat feature to have.

    I'd be willing to pay 100 credits just to have a custom hair or beard curio. Just saying.
