Report #735
Skillset: Planar Skill: Rift
 Org: Paladins Status: Rejected Nov 2011
Furies' Decision:
We do not believe it is necessary to make more items riftable at this time.
Problem: A bunch of changes have went through recently to reduce the number of
replicas in the game. The changes to make more items riftable was a really good
one and should probably be expanded to include more redundant items.
Solution #1: Allow wet fold origami and kirigami to be riftable. When taken
 out of the Rift, they can be recreated as a plain generic design
 (or "a slightly bent kirigami" if you want to be creative and
 show that it got a little crushed while stuffed in the Rift).
Solution #2: In addition to Solution #1, allow wooden spikes and vellum to be
 riftable (maybe make flowers riftable too). Reduce their decay
 time and make them start decaying in stockrooms as well.
Solution #3: Unrelated to the other solutions but, make A Drop of Extraspatial
 Aethersource cost 275 credits again. Allow it to only be used
 once and have it remove the limit on the different types of
 fluids entirely.

I don't understand why solution 3 is needed, or how it relates to the rest of
your report. Also, what about the idea of powerstones being riftable? I believe
that idea was tossed around on the forums.

Solution #3 is unrelated but I thought people would appreciate it. As for
powerstones (and letters too), I thought it would be harder to distinguish full
powerstones (and empty letters) from the others. If not, those may be good to
make riftable as well.

Due to the recent change to Fist and Flame sigils, I was wondering if it would
be a good idea to make these sigils riftable.

Alternative to solution 1: Allow kirigami/wetfolds to be rifted, destroying the
replica without saving any information other than count and type. RELEASE
<KIRIGAMI|WETFOLDORIGAMI> RIFT produces the effects of releasing the specified
origami without ever creating a new replica.

No objections to any of these solutions. Iytha's suggestion directly above this
would be really, really awesome, too.

Iytha, how would you sell them though? Do you buy them straight into your Rift?
If so, I can see people wanting to do this with herbs, etc.

Currently, I sell wetfolds and kirigami in groups of 25 by storing them inside a
closed modular origami. Each package of 25 origami counts as 1 item for the
stockroom limit. I wouldn't object to them being shopriftable as well, though.
