[Sahova OOC Thread] Rest in Peace

I actually think lectures are rare, despite the number of lecture halls there are. Wizards are stingy with knowledge >.>

Lol, nooo, not an NPC wizard teaching. Those stringy old Nuit wouldn't teach anything if it didn't get them a wing of new research and funding up the wazzoo. I was referring to Anna teaching something in a Lecture Hall, she is a Master Glypher after all going on Expert teaching. I figure Vick opted to try it out, though not in a lecture hall, might as well do it as well since Anna actually likes teaching lol.

Besides... there are worse ways to get yourself out there in Sahova if you catch my meaning. >.>

Attention, I have an important announcement!

Writes down the use of this technique for later experimentation. Glares at those obviously trying to 'steal her research'.

Also noticed the new lab, most impressive.

I think it shall be a fun place for the future threads ^.^

Hey Mirage,

Did anyone say they wanted to do the cleaning up the Common Labs event? If not I'd like to take part!

It's yours!

Sooo... how is lovely Sahova? Everyone well on their way to completing their goals this season?

Also, I have a question for our esteemed DS. How does one do job threads exactly on Sahova? Just researching magic? Or is there more to it than that?

by **Mirage** on May 5th, 2014, 7:17 am

I will always have a moment for my lovely Sahovans ^.^

"Job Threads" on Sahova are just like any other job thread, except in Sahova you have a specific line of research you need to advance. In Anna's case she needs to create and research more advanced methods of glyphed weaponry to earn seasonal XP from her 'job'.

Also my lovelies I hope your season is going well! I apologize that I have been absent for a while, I have been taking a sort of break for the weekened to clear my head. I suppose I am still technically on break, but thought I would stop in and say hello ^.^

For this next month I have 3 goals. 1) To get done with every thread to be graded in my city and keep it that way, 2) To finish off my players guide in full and explain all of these not well explained parts of the city, and 3) To finish off as many of my modded threads as possible. I will update you all on Summer as soon as I can as well.

Thank you all for your time and commitment to Sahova!

Sincerely and forever yours,
Mirage

Thanks for the quick answer Mirage! I have just the lovely couple of ideas to turn into job threads, that Voiding research is starting to pay off!

Anyway, I did have one other question in regards to the Synchrograph office and its use. It is said that mages can sell the items they create through it, though the wording near the end confuses me a little bit.

Resident mages may also sell their items through the Synchrograph. Bebe partially overseers the inventory of Sahova's trade and stocks. The price of an item may be dictated by the creator, but it is up to Bebe to decide how much Sahova will buy the item. While he is kind to masters, he usually cuts 5% off the profit of an apprentice.

Merchant Form 12-29 (Sample)
Name: PC's Name
Occupation: Location, Position
Link: Link to the thread where item was created
Item or List of Items:
◾Item 1 - Price
◾Item 2 - Price
Note: Since it is likely that the materials used to create the item being sold would have come from the Synchrograph itself, residents may only receive the "profit" from their projects, and not the actual price of an good.

What exact does it mean by profit exactly? Is it kind of like say a Magecrafter uses the Common Labs to make a low MC level item, like a rope with a single step in durability or something similar, he then turns around and sells it in the office to procure funds for further personal projects. Normally that kind of item would sell for around 3,000 GM's since it costs about 1,000 GM's to make. Would one subtract the cost of making the item from the 'profit' as Sahova's means of taking back what is owed to it for the crafting? So the item would instead sell for around 2,000 GM's as the 'profit'? Or am I thinking about this in the wrong way?

If I am correct then, would it be possible for one to then just purchase the supplies themselves rather than using Citadel supplies or funds and receive a better deal? Sahovan bureaucracy makes my head spin lol.
