6 dex bonus battle axe

[rosewater]

before the market gets too crazy for EG fusion fodder...

a bent mithril battle axe

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the mithril battle axe in your hand...

The axe resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus of 6 to Dexterity Bonus.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 46 times.
It provides a bonus of 1 to Spell Aiming Ranks.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 2 times.
The axe looks to have a lot of charges remaining.

You sense that the mithril battle axe will persist after its last enhancive charge has been expended.

How much does it cost to get an item like this made into an orb during EG? Does it depend on the bonus?

It does vary depending on the bonus. Someone orbed a shit-ton of stuff at the Spitfire, and I remember seeing some of the math behind it. I know one high-end orb cost almost 6m to make, though I can't for the life of me remember who, exactly, it was... possibly crb?

This is from way back. I'd guess this would orb for somewhere in the couple hundred thousand.

I guess the difference here is that I'm not talking about new developments for Fusion that will have to be tacked on in the future. (I learned my lesson amidst the disaster of having to retrofit the houseboat system with airship control components. Never again!)

I built this system with conversion, slot addition, etc. in mind. We always want to take things easy and make sure that we're making advancements for the players that are fun, not ones that simply become a requirement that change the game. However, I don't see a huge problem with people having more customization options with their use of enhancives.

>My big concern is what the cost to orbify certain enhancives is going to be. It might end up being something totally ridiculous, which would put a pretty big damper on the whole thing...

I think the prices are reasonable, although things get pricey for extractions when you start dealing with extraordinary bonuses. For example, some use cases that you'll probably never see:

A +20 Max Mana enhancive (which is darn unlikely and pretty expensive as-is) would cost 14769 silvers to analyze and 1120000 silvers to extract.

A +10 Combat Maneuvers bonus enhancive (like the one Droit is selling--does this count as free advertising?) would cost 4297 silvers to analyze and 293333 silvers to extract.

By contrast, +3 Spell Aim would cost 1500 silvers to analyze and 32000 to extract.

Put simply, if you're a rich ubermerchant who can afford to drop millions of silver on big numbers, conversions for those enhancives are going to cost you a bit. If you're a casual player who wants a few small bonuses, you will find this system pretty darn affordable.

It is a new system and I intend for it to be flexible. I'm gratified by the positive response you guys have had without evening seeing it, and I hope it lives up to your expectations. If not, there are many reasons to go to EG that do not involve colorful orbs.

It's funnier in Enochian.

That's awesome. I missed that the first go-round. Thanks for re-posting.
