Hey everyone. I hope it's okay to suggest new inspirationals here, so here I go.

The idea behind these was adding some alternatives to skills that kind of lack a few different mid- and high-end inspirationals.
(I know my inspirational lore thingies aren't the best in the world.)
First off:



"A Nutty Quartet"

Requires: Nuts & Seeds.

"Sparks of mad and menacing thoughts fly from each and every one."

2x Chesnut, 2x Acorn, 2x Any Plant

Cloak & Dagger: 200

Sparks & Embers: 450

Sugar & Spice: 800

Natural Philosophy: 450



"An Ever-Lasting Hibernation"

Requires: Small Game Hunting, Flowers & Berries.

"Waken up, then put to sleep, put in a hollow log so deep."

1x dead Timbler Rattler, 1x Singing Old Log, 3x Autumn Grass, 2x Any Plant

Cloak & Dagger: 1050

Frontier & Wilderness: 1600

Hunting & Gathering: 2250

Natural Philosophy: 1400



Witch's Ring

Requires: Mushroom Hunting.

"Dancing 'round the toadstools small,
fire draws the shadows tall.
cackling laughter shall ensue,
Under night sky dark and blue."

A Taste of the Blue Waves

Requires: Fishing, Essential Mineralogy.

"A drop of cold,
depths untold,
A squish of salt,
from splashing sault."

1x Any Fish, 2x Coarse Salt, 0.50l Water, 2x Lilypad Bulb

Arts & Crafts: 450

Hunting & Gathering: 875

Law & Lore: 560

Natural Philosophy: 250




That's what I have to suggest. I might eventually expand the list. Please discuss values if you feel that they are unfair.

Considering the singing old log starts with 900 C/D, the hibernation curio should probably have a smidge more in it for adding a rattler.

The only potential issue is adding high value curios like that significantly boosts the easy to get C/D value.

True. the idea was, however, that it did increase your ability to earn C&D a wee bit. Once you get around 2700 it's hard enough to get a level, but I don't even dare thinking about 6000.

Of course, you could say that this was intentional, to keep all but the highly-dedicated from getting the ability to steal, kill, etc.
It could, of course, be otherwise possible to fix through increasing the values of the current C&D inspirationals a bit. It was doable back in the closed beta test, but now, with the learning ability system, it is significantly harder than before. I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all, but it has been said before that with learning ability, the system needs re-balancing. Mainly by tinkering with the values of the current ones, and (hopefully) adding some new ones.

These look awesome, very creative with the names and quotes! would love to see a wider range of inspirationals added.

Very fun inspirationals indeed!

Honestly once you figure out the inspirational system 6k doesn't seem so daunting. It does require that you keep track of what variety curios you've consumed, but I could easily do it with a pile of singers and/or wicked wickermen right now.

But yeah, awesome work on the inspirationals

sacre is a poet but he didn't knoweth

+1 from me

Looks good, I like it.

they read really nice,, i'd just wonder about the stats they give, compared to items needed to make them,,

Quite nice indeed. Can others propose their ideas in this thread or should i open a thread for a single inspirational i'm thinking about?
