Report #253
Skillset: Artisan Skill: Boxes
 Org: Spiritsingers Status: Completed Sept 2009
Furies' Decision:
We'll add a new skill for jewelryboxes, separate from boxes, higher up in
artisan skill, cost more commodities than average boxes, 12 items max, jewelry
placed in box will decay at half rate (like food baskets, etc.).
Problem: At the moment, jewelry boxes have no current function or use other than
their aesthetics. To give the artisans a little more flavor, let jewelry boxes
act like cabinets do for clothing.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Give jewelry boxes the bonus of preserving any
 jewelry item placed inside.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Give jewelry boxes the bonus of preserving jewelry,
 letting them decay at half rate whilst inside the box.

I'm all for making artisan goods more useful, but jewelry already exists for a
heck of a long time. I don't think we need something to lengthen their
lifespans. Plus, I'm pretty sure the boxes have a shorter lifespan than pieces
of jewelry, so in the end what you'd get what baskets are to food (not terribly
useful overall for the cost of remaking them).

What if they preserved charges on the item? Ie, someone could put a focus-imbued
item in the jewelry box and it won't decay one charge a month while it's in
there

That's a great idea. A bit limited in use, but should boost the usefulness of
boxes at the very least.

If we go with this, it's got to be half rate cause you can carry them around
with you.

I don't like this suggestion unless it's limited to non-enchanted jewelry.
Jewelry (and thus enchantments) already last a very long time.

Solution 2 looks good

Solution 2 would be good, it could help the communes with lessening the burden
of the enchanting imbalance

Just wanted to add that boxes only hold four items.
