  1. Didn't receive an answer since, but I reckon it's unneeded as well. The proposal was made when the church/knights were on a rise in activity/recruitment, it's been more than a month and activity has been diminishing, myself included. Feel free to move this to denied / archive it.
  2. KorCo™ offers 45 Alchemist's shears for 650 minae, or 16 minae per individual one if the desired order is smaller.
  3. What happens if an electricity mage strikes someone in full chainmail?

      @NekkoREEEEE First of all, my status / the discussion here isn't about implementing Faraday suit lore and therefore remove all damage of electricity on armoured foes. Second, it wouldn't be meta because that's how physics works ;p

      It's just an observation of a less-known fact that ruins one of the major fantasy clichés. Most games/worlds give electricity anti-armour capabilities where with RL physics it'd be less effective on chainmail/platemail than on any other non-metal armour.

       

      Kind-of an observation like how nobody knew in the gun thread that flintlocks have to be primed. Or my observation of people walking around with stringed bows.

      I'd recommend against testing it against a calldown. Super-heated air and stuff, nevermind that the sheer joules probably would be enough to cook you in that metal on its own.

      @Murdervish If a lighning mage is capable of unleashing electricity equal to the output of Hoover Dam, it'd heat up a 5kg chestplate by 0.0014K.

       

      If a lightning mage is capable of unleashing electricity equal to the power of two(!) lightning strikes, that could heat up a 5kg chestplate by 32K. And that in fact would be warm/hot, and could in theory cause damage.

       

      But if you let a fire mage release the same energy in joules as it'd take for a lightning mage to strike with the strength of two lightning bolts, then the fire mage would be able to heat up a 30 cubic metres area of air (taken a mean 2kj/kg heat capacity) to the temperature of the sun's core and kickstart fusion mid-air, or mid-Oren.

       

      No. Unless you specify, like previously mentioned, that lightning magic surpasses physics, you won't ever be able to heat up an armour enough to cause anything but uncomfortable warmth. That's the point of the whole Faraday cage thing.

       

      If lightning could heat up metal that easily, how would lightning rods work? They transfer the energy of a lightning bolt for tens of metres without melting, and only heating up 10K-20K.

       

      *** All calculations based on Joule heating, Faraday's resistance, Ohm resistance and thermodynamics of heat capacity, with data googled up.

Empty runes Empty runes crafted on order!*** *I'm a terrible procrastinator when it comes to skins. If you request a skin that I find interesting or challenging to make, I may complete it within the hour's turn. If I happen to be in the mood for skinning, I can complete your order the night you placed it. But if not, I may stretch it for weeks or even just don't do it. As a general guideline, the more minae/resources/promises you bribe me with, the more likely I'll force myself to open up novaskin / paint.net / clipstudio and finish your skin fast. **Bulk orders are available for items I can obtain myself, and myself alone. EG, tools, horse armour, masonry items, bluesteel, enchantment tables, etc. Some of the popular items that are bound to provided items when bulk ordered: Daemon steel / Aengul aurum blades - 1 upright staff for each Black ferrum weapons - 1 windswept staff each Iron armour - 1 set of leather armour Diving helmet - 1 iron helmet, or 1 leather helmet ***Some items require materials I can obtain myself in a long, stretched-out period of time. This is mostly blaze rods for jewelcrafting. If there's materials on storage, I can complete an order within an hour or so. If there is none, you may have to wait a day or two. Terms and Conditions: GENERAL I'm a human and I can forget things. This includes the terms and conditions section here, which means that I uphold the right to decide on matters that aren't handled / mentioned in the terms & conditions. ON NAMED/SIGNED ITEMS Named items are crafted completely on the staff's whim. This means that it's up to them to refuse the naming/signing of certain items, which I myself will accept as a decision, resulting in failure of completion. I'm only modrequesting for item naming/signing if the item(s) are crafted from an event item (ET or GM approved item) or gems (flawless / refined ones). This doesn't mean the crafted item has to have some special property. I'm not modrequesting for bulk-naming of items. Kills the whole point. Starting from the grandaxe crown, I'm logging / documenting all named items (names & descriptions) for reference. All items crafted by Kor are branded by her (not mentioned on item but marked IRP). If you order something crafted from an event item (ET or GM approved item) that has special qualities, you'll have to wait until a GM approves / signs the finished item. ON THE CONDUIT OF TRADE No trade will be conducted "OOC". If you hire Kor for work, she'll either do it in her private forge, the Iron Honour Smithy, the Doomforge or at a built-out and designated forging/working area you provide IRP. There's no mysterious delivery, you'll either provide a chest to be delivered to and invite Kor, or pick up materials from her personally. As a rule-of-thumb, payment is handed over first, crafted item is provided second. Any forum message sent in regards to trade or asking for an appointment will be considered as an IC letter (somewhat alike) sent with the same intentions. The same applies to IG private messages and skype messages. ON RESPONSIBILITIES I'm not responsible for any powergaming with items crafted by Kor. I define no lore in regards to any items Koralon crafts. All metals used by her are part of the server lore and are accessible for others. All special items used by her have to be event approved, and any effect transplanted to the finished product will be no different than the material's (sometimes slightly amplified). Refer to the Thanhium uses lore thread for more detailed information on thanhium studs. Aengul aurum is the highest-quality slayer steel. Refer to slayer steel lore and aurum properties against dark magic. Daemon steel is the highest-quality black ferrum, which is a high quality steel alloy. Think of it as high quality steel you could access even in RL. Detailed list: Prices are given in terms of material price + cost of labour. Material prices are the negotiable current market prices of resources. Special fees apply to products produced with materials that aren't available on the wider market. All prices are rounded upwards to XXX5 or XXX0. Labour cost is usually 10% of the material price added. For example, a diamond pick costs 3x diamond + labour cost. Taken that the negotiated price of a diamond is 15 minae, a diamond pick costs 1.1*3*15 =(rounded)= 50. There'll be a list here if there's a demand for it. For now, it'll remain a short guide on prices and such. A showcase of skins may or may not be added soon as well. THANHIUM STUD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Thanhium overheats as per lore. If a stud absorbs enough magic, it'll melt. With thanhic treated leather, or any decent armour this should work fine. But over-studding an armour can make it cold and brittle, and absorbing too much magic at once gets you burned or worse. Item crafting examples:
