-Master Artisan Li’Bu Mai to unknown apprentice-
After cycle upon cycle of arduous training and experimentation the time has finally come to open up my own bazaar now that I feel confident enough in my abilities to provide quality protective gear. Though I take pride in the quality sets I shape I will by no means ever claim that they are the best available, nor the cheapest. By all means, if you find better and cheaper … it’ s your wallet. For now.
My credentials you ask?
Taken in by my friend and mentor Neun shortly after my arrival on the New Lands, I was taught the basics in Atysian ecology, material properties and was asked to become one to continue his legacy in craftsmanship of heavy armours.
I have spent cycles with the Overseers of the Forge, who willingly taught me the Fyros’ art of fire-hardened wood and leather after the necessary ‘donations’ of Lakeland water. During my stay in the desert I was also able to trick the Waterbreakers into passing me on their tribal knowledge on how to make my creations more durable.
At the Matis’ College of Botanism I followed lectures given by the esteemed Master Botanists concerning Bio-alteration and Organic molding and blending. They never found the culprit who stole poor Luppa Rosini’ s dissertation.
The Zoraï Overseers were at first very reluctant to pass on their mystical knowledge and the art of lacquering to a non-Zoraï, but eventually gave in due to persistant irritating nagging during meditation hour.
What services do I offer?
Currently I am able to provide heavy sets in the range of ql 160 – ql 230, 100% choice grade, red or blue, any racial origin, all of the highest quality. All sets provide adequate protection, maximum maneuvrability (no negative dodge modifier) and excellent deflective capabilities for this grade (+1 parry modifier).
It is possible to order up to ql 250, but you’ ll pay more than handsomely since my skills are not up to par yet to achieve full successes. I will not craft lower than ql 160; I do not wish to compete with the upstart armorers of our nations; they need the artisan’s experience and income as well.
Colors other than red and blue are possible but will be more costly (and possibly take longer to complete) due to extra time investment, hiring of protection and possibly experts in Prime Root foraging. As of yet I am not accepting orders in basic or fine grade colors.
Since I make it a point of only crafting with 100% grade materials you will not see any armors made by me on the markets that are labeled as being of excellent or supreme grade. It goes without saying the same applies for orders.
I will not, I repeat, not accept orders for 100% excellent or supreme grade sets. Amassing these materials is an arduous task that takes (RL) weeks to achieve and again, requires protection and additional help. Hence anything of a grade higher than choice will be restricted as I see fit.
Pricing and completion?
I only accept payments in raw materials of sufficient quality, of any ecosystem. Type and quality will have to be agreed on in some cases.
No payments in dappers; if I wanted your dappers I would have you knocked out cold, have your wallet stolen and your body tossed off the Fairhaven walk-ways.
Those unable to come up with the required amount as payment, after completion of the order, will have to expect the same treatment and have their knee-caps removed with surgical precission.
Delivery should be expected to be one week at most for red and blue sets; black and white have no set time limit.
(ooc: I craft because I enjoy doing so, not because I feel I have to. Please respect that at times I would like to do different things than crafting/foraging ingame as well. Thank you.)
How come I’m ignoring you?1 lot = 400 raw materials
Double the amount of lots for black or white sets
< hql ql 200 HA set 2 lots; minimum quality = ql 150
hql ql 200 HA set 2 lots; minimum quality = ql 200
hql ql 210 HA set 2 lots
hql ql 220 HA set 3 lots, minimum quality = ql 250
hql ql 230 HA set 4 lots
hql ql 240 HA set 6 lots
hql ql 250 HA set 12 lots
The following actions will result in getting you nowhere (or at least they’ll get you on my ignore list);
- constant inquiring if the order is done yet (once is enough to make my finger itching)
- asking for free sets
- continuously asking for excellent or supreme sets
- asking me to craft lower quality
- continuously asking me to craft you a set; if I say no, I mean it, no!
- by not being able to cough up the payment
- by not canceling an order in time
- by not having general courtesy
- inquiring after my exact recipes
- …..
You get the point I hope.
Thank you for stopping by at Kyerna’s Armour Emporium.
