Greetings Salemites,
This patch comes with the long anticipated Scribing system that we feel is going to offer a very nice creative outlet! There are essentially (3) more systems we wish to get in before launch and hope we can squeeze them in with these smaller patches like this. So without further ado:
Scribing Details
*New NPC: Nobleman Barnes. Nobleman Barnes will keep track of all Books which are in circulation throughout the land of Salem. When a book is given a Title the copyright to that book is forged and for all time that TItle shall be attributed to that Author. The book can be copied by a player investing in using the printing press, OR a new copy may be purchased if it is a "Best Seller". Nobleman Barnes will offer all top 20 Best Seller books in Salem for the low price of 100 Silver ea. The silver will be sent to the Bank account of the Author who wrote the book.
*Note* Because His Majesty has copyright on ALL ideas that ever have been had and ever will be had he will be taxing all Author Royalties 55%.
*New Town Structure: Printing Press: Players may right click a book on the printing press and for 25 silver it will generate a copy of it.
*New Building: Bookshelf (holds 200 books)
*New Building: Sewing Frame (Used to bind Books)
