Crafting Ideas

Areka

Any chance we could get 'ribbons' added to the hairribbon aliases?

And 'decanter' to pitcher?

Erzsebet

Bottle as an alt to pitcher? Know we have it already as its own, but like, the difference between like, beer-type bottles and wine bottles are fairly notable as far as how much booze it holds, goes.

Teani

Any chance to add device to jewelcrafting, either as an alias to something else, like the trinket or something separate altogether?

Sometimes you just want to make a small metal thingamajig and transforming it into a bracelet or stuffing it in a case just doesn't seem right...

Erzsebet

plushie as an alt to doll?

Areka

I don't like 'plushie' as a term, too modern poppy.

Could do 'a plush doll' or something like that as a compromise.

doll7331 - "an Ishin plush doll"

Erzsebet

too many characters :<

Can we get brewing for craft shelves? It's wonky that it's the only tradeskill that won't work.

Areka

Forging doesn't work. Brewing has kegs though.

Edit: Though a forging thingy would be awesome, load up designs, list them, customized forged pieces then and there, have the log show it IE

2014/07/19 20:10:35 - Trager customized a scimitar with design 52355 for 300 gold
And be able to set the prices so that they vary based on comms used

EDIT:

BUY CUSTOMIZATION (design) FOR (item)

Taking your (itemshort) as reference, a shop hand steps into the stockroom and emerges with (design) in equal grade.

Moirean

Imperian has that, design templates you can apply to basic forged items. That would be a fabulous thing to steal.

Kegs are not really the same as crafting shelves, since it's insanely expensive to stock a range of designs.

Areka

Yeah, they're really expensive for that, and sadly is what would probably happen for forging things (which is a bummer since I've 248 forging designs and counting).

Areka

With the advent of the Directories, is there any way to have at least some tradeskills show up by DIRECTORY (trade)? In particular like, cooking - you're more likely to DIRECTORY SHIRT to see all of the shirts, but with just food to fill you up, less likely to have a consistent search-target. DIRECTORY FOOD for all cooking things, or DIRECTORY CLOTHING for tailoring, or the tradeskill name, would be really helpful.

Moirean

Maybe other stuff too, like just directory plant/cure/buff, etc. DIRECTORY CHOCOLATE is not fun to sort through.

Areka

Being able to use underscore to specify would help. chocolate_promo, flame_sigil, etc.

Erzsebet

sabre as an alternate for scimitar
mosaic as an alternate for painting
partition as an alternate for screen

And maybe the ability to retroactively change identities? I have way too many designs to just re-submit everything. >.>

Areka

'vambrace' as an alternative to bracer/wristguard? (can be made from leather too!)

Erzsebet

cuff as an alternative to bracers also? Or as one to bracelet? Either way.

Rashar

holy spear as an alternative to holy mace?

Seriously, please this.

Areka

Is there any way to allow us to comment on designs after they've been approved? I have a bunch that I'd love to leave notes on, that don't really need to be in front of the queue/rejection process (like food pairings, notes on occasions, references etc), and are too verbose for tags.

Sarita

Could we get more wear locations added to things like brooches, pins, and badges? Right now it seems like a lot of them are only onshirt, but there is a sizable population who might like to wear them on other kinds of clothes, like ondress, ongown, onblouse, oncloak, or maybe even onhat.

Areka

Don't know if it is possible, but it would be really nice if you could set different privs for guild designs within guilds, IE, at gr5 you have access to ones with Y tags, and at gr10 have access to P tags (could be specific tags for the code maybe).

Edit: Oh, oh, and if 'leatherarmour' could be added as something you can reference such armour for to forge with - by this I mean: forge reinforced leatherarmour to work. Right now it doesn't, but you can currently TEMPER leatherarmour.

Areka

I know it's been brought up before, but would inlining tempering be possible? It would be nice to be able to save or program combinations with a keyword (rather than aliases and triggers/bal/timers/w/e .

TTEMP COMBO REINARM BLUNT BLUNT BLUNT BLUNT BLUNT
TTEMP COMBO SPEEDHAM SPEED SPEED SPEED DAMAGE GENERAL

TEMPER BUCKLER REINARM
TEMPER WARHAMMER SPEEDHAM

etc.

Areka

IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL IF CRAFTING GNOME COULD ALSO MAKE POPPERS.

MASSPRODUCE (TAG) IN POPPER

instead of a package

a festive, celebratory popper

Long tube covered in colourful paper and twisted at the ends, a celebratory popper is here.

Comprised of a long tube encased in festively decorated paper, this popper is twisted securely shut at the ends and terminates in crinkled fan-shaped tails that seem ideal for pulling on.

PULL POPPER

Gripping the ends with both hands, you yank a celebratory popper open. With a puff of smoke and sparkle, it bursts open and gifts you with its contents.

Gripping the ends with both hands, $(name$) yanks a celebratory popper open. With a puff of smoke and sparkle, it bursts open and gifts $(him$) with its contents.


PULL POPPER WITH (person)

You offer one end of a celebratory popper to $(name$).

Adjusting your grip, you and $(name$) each give the popper a decisive pull until it bursts open with a puff of smoke and sparkle, gifting (diceroll person?) with its contents.

IDEA 1692

Music boxes should come with the option to customize an emote with it where you use a CRANK command to wind up the box and make it play. Sort of like how you taste something edible getting a separate line in Cooking. It should also be possible to add an atmosphere message, like you get for candles.

Eleanor

That kind of thing is probably not going to happen because extra fancy messages like that have been an event treat before.

Gwenith

Would love to have embroidery a skill for tailors and engrave for jewellers. Maybe once you hit mythical you can access it so you can write a small message or name that will be appended to the end of the description of an item.
Would allow for a small measure of personalisation for an item.

Areka

This exists through the Engraving Quill artifact. (artie power is engraving, can get direct onto an object from Qeddwyn I think)

Edit: Note: It costs sovereigns-by-character, and you can engrave in different colors.

Gwenith

But no embroidery artifact? In that case I wish to have one!

Eleanor

there used to be one, but it was merged into the engraving quill.
