    Terran Market [Revamp]

    Off topic:
    Since I am the owner of Terrenus, I'll also be acting as its contact for market purchases. If you want to buy one of these, contact me so we can arrange an exchange of VB for the product. If I see you using the product without having bought it or something, we're going to get into a heated discussion.

    General, useful items for purchase.

    Amenities


    Home.

    Adventurer's Kit: Hemp rope (50 feet), 5 potions of Sustenance, mundane first aid kit, hiking boots, plastic tarp, water purification tablets (20), hand axe, survival knife, flint, phoenix coal (10), bedroll, pack to carry it all in.
    Price: 70 VB

    Hover boots: A bit of a misnomer, as the boots allow one to fly at will, and at a considerable place, rather than merely hovering in place. The boots are made of fine leather, can function just as well as traveler's boots, and are made with flexible bands of the metal nth across the sole to confer flight upon the user.
    Price: 70 VB

    Map of Terrenus: A cloth map that displays the whole of Terrenus. At the press of a button an electrical current, so miniscule that it draws its power from the human body's naturally existing electromagnetic field, the cloth grows rigid and takes on the texture of plexi-glass. Central areas on the map, such as the twelve main cities or other large landmarks, will display information upon voice command or the touch of a finger. This item can be used to legitimize a character knowing all of the information in the Lore articles for Terrenus.
    Price: 50 VB.

    Premium Adventurer's Kit: Silk rope (100 feet, lighter and can be coiled tighter to occupy less space), 10 potions of sustenance, arcane first aid kit (4 healing potions included into mundane kit), backpack of holding. Only differing items have been detailed, everything else is the same as regular kit.
    Price: 100 VB

    Programmable compass: A compass that can point to either true North, magnetic North, or can be set to point to a specific geographical location. This manner of compass, upon switching modes by way of a small button (one of three) located near the top, can lead one back home or even to a specific person (stationary or moving objects). In the case of people, the target must agree to be tracked.
    Price: 40 VB

    Safeball: A curious little object invented by Dr. Eustace Monroe of Hell's Gate. It is a sphere the size of a marble, the upper half red and the lower half white. In its neutral state it is about the size of a marble. In its active state, put there by pressing the small button located at its very center, the object expands to the size of a softball and can be used to capture wild beasts. The animal in question must be beat unconscious if one hopes to capture it, as a vigorous beast can always escape the initial imprinting process. But once imprinted, man and beast are united in partnership. The beast may not always listen to the man, but they are joined nonetheless. (Pokeball derivative!). Health of creature must be 1/10 the full for successful capture.
    Price: 20-100 VB depending on type. Types depend on size (from fine to colossal) and can only be used to catch monsters listed in the world bestiary.

    Various potions that produce various effects. All effects are temporary. Effects affect only a single user, the imbiber.


    Price: 20 VB per.

    Home.

    • Stoneskin: This tinted glass is filled with a gritty liquid. Upon drinking, the user grows tough scales all over their skin that can buffer most forms of conventional weaponry, from blade to mace to sap.
    • TrueSight: Upon drinking this liquid that looks simply like water, but which smells strongly of lilacs and tastes like cinnamon, user gains the ability to see things as they actually are. The user sees through darkness, normal and magical alike, notices doors hidden by magic (but not conventional means), can peer through all illusions, sees invisible creatures or objects normally, and can see the true form of polymorphed or transmuted objects.
    • Sustenance: This curious concoction is oatmeal-like in consistency. One bottle will stave off hunger and thirst for a week, regardless of strenuous activity, and allows the user to sleep half as much daily as they would need to otherwise.
    • Water Breathing: Subject can breathe underwater.
    • Boost: Augments any ONE physical stat: wisdom, strength, endurance, charisma, intelligence, dexterity, or constitution.
    • Polymorph: Allows subject to alter his form and appearance for 3 days.

    The following are items made by members that they are selling through the Terran Market. Profit is divided 50/50.

    User Items

    Home.

    Hakeem’s Razor: This incredible sharp razorblade comes with an ornate ivory handle. The razor has known no foe it cannot cut, but there is a catch: that the user must first cut him or herself. Only then will the enchantment take effect, causing an identical wound to appear on the enemy. The user must first cut his enemy to establish a contagion link, and can then proceed to cause damage to his or herself and the enemy in tandem.

    Can also be used as a top-of-the-line shaving razor with no need for maintenance.

    Price: 100 VB
    Quantity: 5
    Created By: Mister

    Locket of Lataega

    When worn this ivory locket makes the wearer immune to all psionic attacks. However, for the enchantment to be effective the user must place in the locket a small item of his psionic enemy. This item can be a strand of hair or drop of blood or something the enemy owns, so long as it is small enough to fit in the locket. The locket can contain multiple items and comes with an unbreakable silver chain.

    Price: 150 VB
    Quantity: 5
    Created By: Mister

    Summon Erinyes (scroll):

    This scroll allows the user to summon one of three cruel female goddesses: Alecto, Tisiphone and Megaera. Which goddess is made manifest is completely at random. Each goddess has dominion over a single emotion: Alecto anger, Tisiphone fear, and Megaera sadness. When summoned these goddesses inspire a ten foot radius around the scroll that excites the respective emotion. All are affected, but it takes 15 seconds before the scroll summons up the empathy field.

    This may result in an enemy being sent in a violent frenzy attacking both friend and foe, becoming so terrified they immediately flee, or so despondent they lose the will to fight or even inflict self-damage. This scroll can only be used once and the Erinyes remain summoned only for a short period.

    Price: 200 VB
    Quantity: 5
    Created By: Mister

    Black Sword and Dagger [set]: Enchanted; becomes aphotic at will. Is invisible in shadow and even goes so far as to suck in ambient light. Creates no sound when striking against any material, whether flesh or metal; note that this enchantment cannot be used in sunlight. Are otherwise normal weapons.

    Price: 75 VB
    Quantity: 4 sets
    Created By: Lunadrakla

    Headband of the Owl: Tough burlap and cotton with interwoven strands of green and red silk. Grants wearer minor psionic ability, to the point of allowing them to read surface thoughts or send out telepathic communication within a 15-foot radius. Not functional as a psionic defense item.

    Price: 100 VB
    Quantity: 10
    Created By: Lunadrakla

    Loci Map: Maps the immediate area up to and within line of sight, capable of storing these maps for easy reference, and functional only when held by a sentient creature. If the map has not been used in a season (3 months) all stored maps are erased. If ownership is transferred, all maps remain present. The longer that a cross-section map is focused on, the more detail is revealed such as tavern names and stores. Not capable of showing secret entrances or revealing hidden information.

    Price: 100 VB
    Quantity: 5.
    Created By: Lunadrakla

    Life-Link Rings: Links the lives of the two wearers, regardless of distance. Both can live to the age of the wearer with the longest life span but does not reverse the effects of aging. A human bonded with an elf benefits from the longer life but does not benefit from the elf's natural youth and beauty. The burden of ordinary disease is shared between the wearers, but any terminal illness that kills one will certainly kill the other. If one wearer is immune to a specific ailment, then the other recuperates in half the time. Damage is likewise shared. Once put on the rings cannot be moved unless entertaining physical contact with its mate.

    Price: 175 VB
    Quantity: 3 sets.

    I am now offering principal NPC positions to players, for a reasonable fee. There is a lot that one can do with this idea. If you buy a mayor of a town, then you can start putting into effect changes in that town that you'd like to see. Or on the other hand, maybe you're part of a nefarious group, and buying a mayor or a few local guards in your local pocket puts them at your command.

    There is a lot of RP opportunity to be found here.

    Each purchase comes with a six month amnesty period. That is to say that if I don't see you using your purchased NPC, either direct or indirectly, then they go back into the pot. This is more for big-ticket purchase like mayors and politicians than it is for guards or militiamen.

    When you buy a role, you can either keep them as NPC's or you can play them as PC's.

    All prices in VB.

    -- = taken
    I = How many have been bought

    RolesMilitiaman – 30
    Guard (I) – 75
    Gang Leader [Small] – 100
    Gang Leader [Intermediate] (I) – 150
    Influential Politician (II) – 200
    Gang Leader [Big] (I) – 250
    Mayors:
    • 300 VB: Tia, Blaurg (--), Biazo, Weland, Dougton
    • 500 VB: Casper (--), Ashville (--), Hell's Gate, Last Chance (--)
