Craftable temporary essenses

Post by Aodh Lazuli » Mon Sep 11, 2017 11:35 am

TEMPORARY ESSENCES

Added in the full range of craftable Temporary Essences, at +1D4. These are produced in stacks of 10, at DC 12, with 24 Required Points. They all require the following ingredients.

1 Ingot Lead
1 Lesser Catalyst
10 Bottles
5 Gems (The low range of gems is used here, malachite etc)

DC 12
Required Crafting Points 24

END PRODUCT: 10 Temporary Essences (+1D4)
This is amazing! I'm really glad this has been done... However, why are they 1d4 and not 1d6? People will nearly always choose to get the 1d6 temp essenses available from NPC merchants, rather than buying crafted 1d4s.

My thoughts exactly. Why not remove the 1d6 essences from the vendors, and add them at a slightly higher materials cost than 1d4 essences? It would empower trade.

1d4 essences are effectively redundant because 1d6 essences are really cheap to get huge quantities of.

I just noticed that the 1d6 temporary essenses have been removed from a merchant that sells them (surface).

People impacted by this:

- Everything that doesn't use magic for their damage.

Wasn't noted on the updates page.

If this is being done, then uh... Can we have craftable 1d6 temporary essenses?

I believe Irongron stated in another topic that 1d6 craftables are on the way.
