More craftable options for ink/other writing material

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

More craftable options for ink/other writing material

Post by OleBlighty »

Since harnak is no longer craftable I think it would be awesome if we had other options for crafting writing implements to copy books.

Most obviously lead:Craft it into ingots then either allow Smithing or Art Crafting (or both) to turn them into lead-based ink? (I figure we're not going to worry about RL issues like lead poisoning!)
"Moradin's will! I ask ye, wish not one Dwarf more!
By Clangeddin, I am nae covetous for gold,
Nor care I for comely lasses!
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin tae covet honour,
I'm th' most offendin' soul alive!"

There is a lot of harnak around the isles if you look.

Denied for now.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
