Wax formula and Leather-Spiraling

[rye130]

I suggest that the formula for beehives and their wax be modified some to allow for higher qualities of wax to be possible (not easily possible necessarily, but easier then it is now). This, therefore, would allow players to spiral leather like we are able to spiral metal.

This would allow for a nice sink for leather, just like it is for metal. Currently there is nothing to use leather for after a certain point, but with this you could continually make hardened leather which you use to make more hardened leather to spiral it higher and higher.

Only disadvantage I could see with this is that it might be too easy to do, since it wouldn't really have the randomness that metal spiraling does.

Well, wax and honey quality could stay as random as now, just peaking at a higher quality. Then it would require serious effort to gather enough of the good wax to spiral leather, and also create a significant market for high quality wax.

Any changes similar to the suggested ones would be welcomed in my book.

Want to have at least q200 wax because quality of birthday cake and armor already cutted by many factors (ingredients and processes).

Anything that helps move towards group grind is hella welcome IMO

im fine with the random wax+honey, gives hermits a chance

It can be somewhat random like currently, but yeah, I want it to have a higher peak point. This world highest wax was probably 150 and I'm guessing there were only a few of them. And this world was long. Highest leather was like 155-170 I'm guessing so spiraling was not possible.
