Ishys Armor Shop - Now open!

[holstad]

Hi,

As the title says, I've now opened my little armor shop again.
All homins are free to place their orders.

I do all armors (Light Armors, Medium Armors & Heavy Armors) with either Basic, Medium or High Quality Look. All Boosts (HP, Stamina, Sap or Focus) are available.
The Light and Medium Armors are limited up to ql200 and for the Heavy Armor I do up to ql250.
Fyros, Matis and Zorai armors will not be available in red or blue as i do not yet forage those lands.

I only accept mats as payment. The prices below are based on grind mats (basic - choice). Excellent or Supreme mats, Op-mats or Cats. will be valued as agreed between me and you;

Light Armor:

ql10 - ql100: 5 X ql (2,5 X ql if you bring your own mats.)
ql100 - ql200: 6 X ql (3 X ql if you bring your own mats. Ql170-ql200, degrades not counted for.)

Medium Armor:

ql10 - ql100: 7 X ql (3,5 X ql if you bring your own mats)
ql100 - ql200: 8 X ql (4 X ql if you bring your own mats. Ql170-ql200, degrades not counted for.)

Heavy Armor:

ql10 - ql100: 8 X ql (4 X ql if you bring your own mats)
ql100 - ql200: 9 X ql (4,5 X ql if you bring your own mats)
ql200 - ql250: 10 X ql (5 X ql if you bring your own mats. Ql250, degrades not counted for.)

Example 1:

A ql150 LA will cost 7 X the ql of the armor in mats (150 X 6 = 900 mats of ql150 or higher. Half the price (450 mats) if you bring the mats for the armor.

Example 2:

A ql250 HA will cost 10 X the ql of the armor in mats (250 X 10 = 2500 mats of ql250. Half the price (1250 mats) if you bring the mats for the armor.

Hope to hear from you soon
Send me a pm, reply on this post or a tell ingame and I'll reply to you as soon as possible.

WOW. Kinda expensive seeing how there are many masters in game and majority will help you gain the armor you need by digging the mats for you, if you will just cp for them.

yah. Or if not trade you for a nominal fee or for free if you provide mats.

I'm certainly no master, but for me seeing someone happy with something I made for them is all the payment I care about (apart from maybe some tp tickets if I'm really short on cash, but what crafter is ever short on dappers?).

You might be right, or you may not.
My point is that I don't think it's that unfairly priced.
Mastering a crafting tree takes a lot of time and effort. Except from your own satisfaction and the fact that you can help your guildmates, what is the point of mastering crafting if you never gonna get something back from it?
I remember back in -04 when some of us were lvl230+ melee fighters and were still running around in ql160 choice armors. We would easily dig thousands of mats or give away all the mats that we looted for such an armor or a really good weapon.
I got my first ql250 HA a year and a half after I mastered 2h sword.

Nowadays we're spoiled with having master crafters around every corner. I don't think it would harm anyone to actually make an effort for the crafted items they receive. Digging 2,5k mats for a good ql250 HA that will last you probably a year or so will take you, with maybe some help from a friend 3 hours maximum - and I bet you will appreciate it more after actually having to work for it..

If you could just snap your fingers and get every ql250 item you wanted, where is the fun in that???

lol

Iala, envy - bad feeling...

crafter want to sell his skills, what is wrong in that for YOU?.. if you won't use his skills, don't buy that, its simple...

Why should people who are not so lucky suffer? To "keep them down"? To "prevent competition"? Those are the usual reasons to deny those not in your clique access to good equipment, and I don't believe in that.

Totally wrong. I'm not trying to keep "anyone" down. I'm just saying that you can't get everything for free. If you can...well, then you're lucky.

The community has changed since you were last on I guess, and maybe it has changed into something that's not to your liking, a mostly friendly group of people who more often than not work together to survive and make Atys a better place for all of hominity rather than get personally rich over the backs of everyone else.

I've been playing since Sep -04, and had a break for 7-8 months just recently and have been playing actively for two months since that.
I've seen lots of people come and go and also seen the mood of the community chance several times, so I think I have a pretty good feeling about how the community have been in the past and also how it is now.
If you think I'm a total selfish moron, so be it...make a poll and see what people think - you obviously don't know me very well

Ish we all know you mate, dont worrie about what lala says.

2500 mats well worth it for a set of + 2 parry sup dig mats HA

Oh dear oh dear, I got a good laugh out of imagining what most people who've been playing since launch would probably say to that. I imagine it'd be something along the lines of "BWAHAHAHAHA!"

I'll refrain from judging who'd be 'right', seeing as this is something so subjective.

Hmmm, where did it say it's a +2 parry sup dig mats HA? I'd agree it wouldn't be much for one of those...
