Diamonds and rubys different cuts

Post by Alexander Knight »

I think you should be able to preform different cuts of gems and placement on rings e.g
A round brilliant cut diamond cluster ring with 9 ct gold base, and the more you learn the better cuts you can do......or something like that
deffo have different quality of gold though

interesting idea, however this would not do much to improve the game. while it may eventually be put in. do not expect it with the next 5 years. reason why is this would not only require more graphics but more programming of the skill for something that is not really needed.

As far as i know, something like this is already implemented at the testserver and will find it's way to the realserver earlier or later.

Scripting is no problem, i could do that... it just means that you get more money for a perfectly cut marquise diamond rather than a simple step cut...

but i do prefer the sorts of gold 9/18/24 obviously 24 being the highest... and we have no white gold

The problem with this is - even if you use the same graphics, if you put quality on them - they won't stack.

So i'll need multiple piles of diamonds, rubies whatever to store them all.

Also, what exactly will be the 'point' ? Sure it is rarer, but why should anyone even buy gems, let alone more expensive ones?

why do people buy gold and gems right now? because they have money and want to duh. one of the only reasons gold id valuable is because it's rare. this is gems 101.

Honestly I have met several players that collect gems and gold, not because they use them in a craft or anything but just because they consider them a source of wealth (which I think is awesome).
