Talk:CraftingToDo

Flaxen challenged me to come up with 100 "unique" things a new tradeskill would do before he would consider implementation. He said that each current tradeskill has at least that much to do. The talk on the chatline was to create a "jeweler" tradeskill. So, as a typical know-it-all mudder, I sat down and tried to do so.

As an exmaple, making a ring would count as one skill. Different quality rings count within that one skill.

People were earlier talking about jewelers. Jewelers would make precious items and would have various utility powers. So far, I am no where close to 100 different things a jeweler could do. Please provide whatever input you have, new ideas, criticisms, modifications, etc.

What I have to date. The level of the item would determine what quality gem you could enchant into it. These are not items that naturally function as armour and thus have no AC benefit unless provided by an enchantment.

Jeweler item creation.

• rings
• amulets

helmet

• crowns/tiara
• diadems: Would be able to receive +stat boosts only, but possibly at a slightly enhanced effect?

other

• bracelet/anklets
• earrings
• watches
• broach

new:

• scepters: I was thinking that this would function as a wand or rod does currently on 3k. For example, you could enchant with aggression gems to provide a dmg effect. Protection gem for some kind of shield. And so on. Gem quality and quality of scepter would determine number of charges on scepter. gems on scepter

Cutting jewels/gems:

• Can take a prospected jewel or an unfilled gem and "cut" the gem to improve the quality. Thus, a crude gem would go to poor. If the jeweler fails, could lower value or destroy the item.

• Chip will split a larger gem or jewel into two lesser quality jewel or gems. Same qualifiers as above.

Mounting: A necessary requirement to place a gem or jewel onto a ring, amulet, earring, and so on. I have no idea what it could do. Any input would be appreciated.

Alloy creation: Alloys is relaly just a catch-all for creating new materials that could be used by smiths or by jewelers to create better quality items Alloys would include

• white gold
• pink gold
• platinum
• stainless silver
• two tone gold.........

Engraving: Personal signature. Cosmetic at first, then can eventually make items be returnable to owner or bindy? (applicable only to crafted items, not items found on the mud).
