Item dumps

Postby niltrias » Mon Apr 04, 2011 4:30 pm

Just a toss-out idea....
why not make everything a curio? Just set the results fairly low, but also the attention required low. Use up excess items by filling in the nooks and crannies of your attention inventory.
Discuss.

Well, those should be made way less worthy LP-wise to ensure curio crafting. And if those will give jut a few LPs, then what`s the point of learning them? Only newbs would use them.
To be honest, more newbish curios would be just nice. And no need to learn branches and rats.

Thats my point, really...not to make the rich richer, but to give a wider range of curios as well as more of an item dump. None of them should be as good as a conecow or a dandelion, for example.

This is just to use up extra crap filling in the edges of your attention.

But if those are worse than conecow or dandelions, what`s the point of learning them at all? Drop at the sea of LP from curios.
For an item dump, however, there is an idea. What if we`d have a kind of...bonfire or something, into which any items can be dumped with one-in-100 chance of getting numen point(trad/change applies after getting an successful roll). This`d lead to prayers actually being used as well as getting rid of those unnumbered frogs.

What if when you study them you get 50LP and they all take 2 hours (average of 25 LP/Hour), and should take 4 ATT. It should also count as a discovery. So if someone gives you straw so you can make a chicken coop, you can study one and 2 hours later you can make the coop. And the LP/Hour is worse than most curios and 4 ATT prevents anyone early on from stuffing their inventory with random items.
