Character Jobs

[±Witchcraft±]

I was thinking, what if after certain quests or talking to people, that you could get a job or special ability for your character. I am getting really interested in those Ward Bag, so I was thinking that Rhyme could ask Akusui for a few of the boxes for him to experiment with. Then he could make bags and sell them for SP. After the first boxes given to him he would have to buy the stuff.

I was thinking that only 1 or 2 jobs could be learned and there could be a list I will put at the bottom of this. Then every time someone wanted to make something they would have to put the materials at the Top of a thread and then RP what the character did. Then, if they used reasonable amount of material and skill a Mod could say that the item was made, the item was half made (doesn’t work as well) or that the item failed (broken, could be repaired by a shopkeeper or something)

Spinner -- Spins fur and fiber into Cloth
Potionist -- Uses herbs to make potions

These are just some to be thought about, some could be thrown out or added. I just thought this could add new demission to the forum by adding a small economy. If you are afraid of it effecting SP too much it could use a whole new system, maybe TP (Trade Points) or JP (Job Points). That way it is a whole new side bar of the forum.

You know, this was kind of played around with when me and Pro here first joined. Like when Darius made that armor in his guild and such, remember? I forget what Baha said about that, but, we'll see this answer as well. I like the idea, since I've done it. ^^"

I think it's a decent idea. I mean, if characters wanted to buy something and were a few points SP too short, it would certainly come in handy. ^^

The only problem I see here is that it would require a complex collection of boards and such to accommodate for all the job choices here. Not only that, but if one character wanted to buy from another character, there would be needed a list of items, prices, and a place to RP.

However, with time and diligence, I believe it can be pulled off. ^^

I was thinking that there could just be one board new board and just have 2 sub boards, one to make items, and a second to sell items. Each person who was able to sell stuff could have a thread and post/modify prices, that way there is compatition, since it can be viewed by everyone.

The gathers I think could just be done in the normal boards we have now. For example if someone kills a skinable animal, they could say at the end that they skinned the thing and a mod can tell what quality of leather and how much of it they got. That and it could give the staff more items for mosters to drop, since they could drop items that were part of jobs, such as herbs, potion bottles, ect.

And I really like the idea of a new money system though, that way the SP system doesn't go all wacky from the trading. It could cause a lot of inflation on the site. Maybe some type of conversion system though, that was only from SP to the new system or just have a starting amount of 50 or 100 points.

I think this entire thing in turn would bring back the guilds which were removed a while back, y'know? For instance, the people who skin the animals would group with the leather-workers along with the smithys grouping with the armor and weapon makers. The guilds would be back in full swing. Whether that's a good idea or no, I have no clue, but with more members joining...
