So I'm trying to make Aurinyan's shop work under the new rules. At the moment I'm only interested in selling potions, items and scrolls. As of the yearish I've had the IC shop it hasn't sold anything, partly because people don't seem to be willing to pay much at all for one shots, even with Aurinyan's tax evasion using low prices (compared to the NPC costs for example).

Here's some lists to demonstrate my problem, basically it's cost vs time:
One Shot Items
Spell Level Component Rarity Component Cost Enchant time
0 Ubiquitous 0 Florins 6 days
0 Common 12 Florins 4 days
0 Uncommon 60 Florins 3 days
0 Rare 180 Florins 2 days
1 Ubiquitous 0 Florins 12 days
1 Common 12 Florins 8 days
1 Uncommon 60 Florins 6 days
1 Rare 180 Florins 4 days
2 Ubiquitous 0 Florins 18 days
2 Common 12 Florins 12 days
2 Uncommon 60 Florins 9 days
2 Rare 180 Florins 6 days
3 Ubiquitous 0 Florins 24 days
3 Common 12 Florins 16 days
3 Uncommon 60 Florins 12 days
3 Rare 180 Florins 8 days
4 Ubiquitous 0 Florins Can't use for level 4
4 Common 12 Florins 20 days
4 Uncommon 60 Florins 15 days
4 Rare 180 Florins 10 days


Potions up to and including level 1 take roughly 2x as long, and from level 2 to 4 take roughly 3x as long.
Scrolls up to and including level 1 take roughly 3x as long, and from level 2 to 4 take roughly 4x as long.
Potions components are cheaper than one shot components, except for level 0 potions.
Scroll components are cheaper than one shot components, except for level 0 and 1 scrolls.
However assuming you get them back one shot components can be reused, where as potion and scroll components disappear with use.

So I could make a Potion of Invisibility at a base cost of 9 Florins and 47 days of work or 17 days at a cost of 3 groats. The same as a one shot would cost either 1 Groat and 20 days, or 15 Groats and 10 days.

Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a journal entry for this meme with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends list and tag them - no tag backs. These rules should be included in your entry.

1)Thanks to much conditioning by my sister, my first reaction when I'm in pain is to find something soft (like a pillow) and apply it to the injured areas. This is all a result of my older sister using cushions and things to make me stop complaining about those non-injuries you get when you do stuff like fall over as a child.

Thanks to much conditioning by my sister applying a soft object actually has a fairly significant pain killing affect for me.

2)As a result of effectively conditioning by my Dad who used to whistle when he wanted any of myself and my siblings to go to him, say for dinner, I can't now stop myself from immediately turning towards the source of a loud whistle.

3)One summer when I was about 12-14 I spent most of my time hunting four leaf clovers, and actually had developed some good strategies for doing so. By the end of that summer I had found some 12 four leaf clovers, 2 five leaf clovers and a 5 1/2 leaf clover. My younger brother who I was competing against found a couple less than I did.

4)I once auditioned to go on Junior Big Break in secondary school with a few other people, one of my friends got on it instead, but I still remember getting all but 2 of the general knowledge questions we were asked right - the football and soap ones.

5)According to my family I was a quiet child to the extent they were quite worried about me. Apparently when I finally spoke my first words were a direct copy of something my Mum said perfectly pronounced and very clear. I then didn't say anything for a while after that, and when I started talking again (and from then on) I spoke with a slight lisp and a tendency to mumble and speak too fast.

6)When I was taught to drive I was never taught the emergency stop. It was only when I did my pass plus some 9 months after passing (though I hadn't driven at all in that time) that I was taught how to.

I tag the first five people who read this, and my sister [livejournal.com profile] prosepina.
