awesome surprise, i wasn't expecting these until after the new skill system rolled out.

thanks a ton, valla. my only gripe will be when this tent poofs on me.

a lot of tailoring stuff to play with, and no time to do it!

Just to let everyone know, so we don't go through this again, looms are Artisan-only.

oh, and because the world would end if i didn't find odd bugs...

1) I can't grade unfinished containers using skeined fabrics.
2) Items made with skeined fabrics can't be sold anywhere.

is it possible to up the values of the items made with the new fabrics?

it takes me ~1 1/2 minutes to warp a loom, and ~4 minutes to weave a jada eyelet sheet (i don't know if both of those times may be reduced with skill, but there's not much more room for improvement that i can make in terms of stats and skills, i think, anyway).

edit: i also know that ~5 minutes total isn't a monumental amount of time or anything. it's more that i figure if someone is processing this stuff, then the actual value of the sheet would really be more than $450. i think that makes some sense. so this isn't a 'oh god it takes FOREVER,' just more that i'm pointing out it's more than just buying a fabric and playing with it. there is at least a skill and time investment.

i also figure a processed sheet of the new material would be worth more than just the raw skein's price, right?

[soundless]

i'm double posting because that previous one is big enough as it is...

i just tested making a cotton scroll case, and that sells for almost $300.

so the $12 skein can be processed and made into a scroll case that is almost the same price as the $250 skein.

that makes me believe something buggy is about, or that i'm going to have a lot of testing that i planned to do anyway ahead of me tonight.

but i love testing these systems out, so everything is okay.

that means i love this system, honest.

is it possible that weaving a swatch of canvas can be faster than weaving a sheet of jabo eyelet? right now they seem to take the same amount of time, unless i was miscounting.

edit: no idea if you changed this or not, but i do notice that a small jabo skein takes 4 weaves, and large ones take 10 (i'd try medium to but who cares about those!). so maybe i was just oblivious. but i still say a canvas skein should finish faster than a jabo eyelet!

it's just possible that all this weaving is making me go crazy. very very possible.

I just made a canvas scroll case, which the fabric cost $10.00, ok add in the warping thread and it's $12.00. I sold the scroll case, and it was worth $3.00. Needless to say, I will not be making anymore scroll cases

The values are going to get looked at. At present, we opted for a "go low and work our way up" approach to balancing them out, rather than stick to the pre-change $40k gown and work downwards.
