reusable masterpiece sketches

[benisalt1]

head gear already has the customization slot that you cant lose (store bought hats)
why not allowing adding painting to the shield,cape and tabard slot?
reclaim paintings from your hearth fire to paint a new sail if current one is stolen

Tbh it's 0.6$ for a skin in a game, considering ppl pay like 20$ for a single skin in other mmos it doesn't even seem that excessive with the fact that you can lose it. You buy like 50 sketches and they last you a few worlds AND you can get them ingame through trade with other players AND you can make the paintings with ingame skill and dyes (even if very expensive, still possible to make very nice stuff with it). Sketches are unironically one of the better mtx decisions they did (other than the inventory expansion thing for containers that's weird but w/e, irrelevant tbh) and if you don't like they're one use you can just not use them.

Also yes, if you're buying mtx in a video game you are WASTING your money, and let me give you a better one, if you're playing videogames you're most likely wasting your time. Unless you can accept that and be fine with it don't buy/play.

it is alarming to me the number of people okay with sketches and even defending them. its a shit deal seen in no other game. people spend 20 bucks on skins in other mmos because john rage cant KO them and bash their shit they paid real money for.

Then don't spend if losing 0.6$ is too much of a loss for you (you should play fallout new vegas dead money, maybe you can get a life lesson about letting go). Personally i think 30$ for 50 sketches is an amazing deal and honestly a very fun one, you get to pick whatever the fuck you want to use them on. And you can use them on stuff that can't really be stolen, a knarr sail is not stealable if you don't lose the keys, all the stuff behind your palisade is basically secure too. If you think "oh boy this world is kinda shit and sped up i don't think i will play it long-term it might not be worth using sketches on stuff" then don't use them.

i dont think its worth using them at all even on an extended world as they are and thats why i made a critique thread about them; in the op i say already im not going to use them as they are so please contribute something other than glazing jorbtar, 30$ USD is not a great deal for me considering the price conversion and stuff inside your palisade actually all disappears if you decide to take a break from the game. Using it for colouring stuff like a mansion will take multiple pages. What i am suggesting is a few ways for pages to be used more than once so it's actually viable to use them on more than 0.1% of the objects in the whole game.

also i get my life lessons from real life not video games

How is that going to help the devs sell more sketches?

By making it more affordable for lower income players, which means overall more players will buy the sketches. Heck just make it so there are two sketches in the store, one that's reusable but has a limit on complexity, and one that's single use but has no limits.

I'd rather buy a permanent non-stealable sketch for $20 than pay $0.6 for current one.

why not just do it with linseed oil and pigment

can't a particularly detail-dense design become unreasonably expensive, especially for someone playing casually? I have optimized sketches for minimal resource cost, but someone less willing to put in that effort or compromise their image might prefer to just skip the hassle altogether and throw a couple bucks at their boat or bed
