Players Guide

I really like shiny little baubles and there is what I consider to be a severe lack of loot in Dreamverse. I like loot and so I started work on a Pearl and Gemstone feature which will create the aforementioned items with various qualities and values. this feature is nearly complete and I hope to have it deployed shortly.

The system creates pearls of various sizes, shapes, lusters, color, and surface qualities. All of these factor into the value of the pearl. Gemstones are created with different types, conditions, cuts, color, and weight.

Having pearls and gemstones available will open up other avenues for potential development. I can envision some jewelry crafting skills to turn one or more stones into wearable items. The waters of Kan can now be host to saltwater and fresh water bivalves and provide water breathers with a form of hunting. The stones could be given elemental properties and used to augment spells or abilities. We could use them similar to the Brian Sanderson Way of Kings way and have them act like batteries to power up spells and abilities. We could use them in a Final Fantasy manner and have them be pluggable modules that slot into equipment to provide their own spell-like abilities or augmentations.

In the short term I'm just looking forward to some interesting variation to the standard loot piles.
