Grinder/Spectacles

[formerly known as hf]

I'm pretty sure I've moaned about this before...

I don't see the need for lenses for spectacles/monacles to be so expensive.

It's not as if the grinder has any other uses, or that spectacles have any benifit beyond the RP value clothes hold. As such - it's not as if there's a huge amount of value in building a grinder, or making spectacles. Thus, I doubt it will ever happen.

I would put money on there being no grinders, lenses or spectacles in existence at all in Cantr?

It's not like dress loafers, embroidered bracers and the like - where there is at least a small chance of them being a rare item, that a handful of Cantrians can show off their status with.

Why spend time designing and adding an item to the clothing list if it is obvious that no one will ever be able to make one?

Either change the requirements so that the grinder doesn't need metal, or only needs a small amount. Or, use the grin grinder instead. Or, just use window glass, or just add a different project to the glass oven/kiln...

I am guessing that when vehicles are divided into parts (yes, we are actually still working on that), the windshield objects will require a grinder to manufacture.

Also, the specticles have a very good RP aspect to them... I know a char with terribly bad eyesight.

Ooh, I don't know why I didn't think about this before.... it would be fun to play a blind character. Of course, I'm going to wait till the charrie is really old, first.

Like Archprelate Howard Lopan in Karnon Forest? Yeah, he's RPed well though, and enough ppl like him that they'll guide him around.

I think one of my charries once saw a grinder Or maybe just a project for one?

We could make more projects for the grinder, would that be good? It sounds sensible that cutting diamonds, rubies, turquoise and what ever we got out there should require a grinder. That would also raise the value of bejeweled items. Ok ok, more primitive options should be available, but complex cutting of gems should require a tool of some sort, and sounds like the grinder might be the one for the job.

Sounds like a good plan to me - my biggest issue is just how useless the grinder is...

It seems that the grinder is just for RP nothing more. Your char only has trouble seeing if you say so. And cutting jems and what not makes sence but once agian these things are only good for RP.

One of mine has eye problems, and someone made him a pair of glasses to correct them.

You'd think one such a rare item would get notice IG.
....
It never does.
