[Feature] Alchemy

[ShadowGammaDraco]

Back story:
During the long battles with the undead, a few young mages notice that vidalia is being drained by the war efforts to Defend &Triumph over the seemingly never ending hoard of undead constantly at the gates. the pandemic causing troubles even for the local church, each day more children starving without soup because no one can donate to the church, or afford to donate to guild contributions. they argue in a heated debate as to the best ways to help out the poor with their ability to harness magic.
"just look at these faces!" * one of the mages waves his hand &conjures the image of a young lad pleading for more food not far away&the priest saying they can't afford anymore*

Finally coming to a agreement with a few in the circle, they seek out Karleya's wisdom.

Who tells them she believes their solution just might work, if only they could build a proper Alchemy circle because of the mages curse for such things in the past. She sends the young mages to enlist the help of the Rangers+Priests, & crafting ability of [Master Gemologist Shea].
Through the long and arduous labors and many failures during one of the many trials and shattered crystals.
Suddenly a mage shouts,

"We've done it!! no longer will [High Priest Epauch] run out of gold to support the starving children of vidalia when there's no more soup!"

*The mage then begins handing empty bags to the people who helped to fill with gold flowing from the Alchemy Pool each time a crystal is placed in&asks them to head to each home in need*





TL: DR; Basic
Concept:
Crystal to Gold and or Platinum in various ratios
&possibly from time to time gold to crystal in very small amounts, i.e 10p-20p for 100 crystal 1-2x a day

A Mystical forge has been made imbued with the power to transform raw elements into another.
The forge has been limited to only accept crystal to be placed inside & reform into Gold Wealth amounts.
(you don't wanna know what was transmuting before the infusions were set right&pure...have you seen Glutton?!?)






Rates: To be continued*open to reasonable suggestions* in end its up to Devs &for players to keep voting &commenting

Wow gold to crystal! Great idea. For non casher.

tyty kinda been jelly other games have similar function. figure CS has been deserving of it personally. &was in a round about way asked by players if there was a way to buy gold. I think this would cut down on peoples interest in gold spammers a bit as well.
would be nice to see possible rates of 1k xtal = 1plat + or with chance of double or slightly less.
I'd say more towards the gold to crystal exchange but knowing how much gold some people have that would create a extremely large imbalance.
there hasn't been a Gmut exchange like there used to be so older servers are a bit overflowing with wealth.maybe once servers gold gets drawn out&alt abuse prevented would be more feasible to be better incentives for a gold to crystal ratio.
for the most part though its about Crystal to Gold
if it could be done. can't promise anything personally

Meh.
I don't see why not.
Blessings can be obtainable this way; however overly expensive it will be.. 6k xtal to max it.
All we got is poopy charm to xtal which isn't worth it IMO, since usually the non-casher base buys costumes (1k xtal) for around 10d anyways.

Please sir, can I have some more?

true. maybe a alternative to a for sure gold to crystal exchange in a nice ratio to prevent abuse would be a chance to be summoned into a room with glutton and the hoarder mob or get crystal. would give it a more random zeal &not so easily abusable, if it would mean crystal is decent

[sangofighter]

they have an event in Chinese CS, top 10 gold players @ the end of the week would lose 10% of their total gold and be converted into crystal. Forgot the ratio but it something like 1 plat = 1xtal.

Got a stupid Question here. Are you learning poetry? Because you can easily submit this opening post of yours to a book publisher and make money from it

interesting. would want to give everyone some sort of option for that though if could here. would mean w alchemy only cashers would ever see that exchange or who they give all their gold to with buying stuff in market etc

very kind of you to say, love reading books. lol only had a library for entertainment before the internet

You would have to get rid of the MMOmall spammer 1st. That guy/gal has to be costing r2 a lot of money unless its r2 secretly making money and making it seem like a hacker site is selling hacked stuff. Its a great idea but I question the integrity of the game right now. The 1c incident on the s10 combined servers as an example. The best thing for non-casher (I feel) would be to add Mark of God to the dungeon drops and make honor useful again.

Keep up the good work Shadow! You're doing a lot to keep the game up and interesting.

np! will do best I can, been catching as many of the gold spammers as I can see on many servers as can atm +telling gm's&have done same before, just had bad internet for a bit so was slow XD

1D = 10xtal
hat = 300xtal = 30D (but people sell it cheaper)
depending on the gold to xtal currency this would be good.

[weizheng23]

It would be nice to see this being implemented cause I can't buy crystal though I have money cause none of the options for buying crystal is available for me. Like some need credit card( too young to have it), etc etc. So it's good having this suggestion and hoping it to be implemented

[AmericanHealers]

Shadow. Is. A. Genius.

[EllanaRox]

This is a great idea for me as a non casher player...

[Insanity]

i really hope this will be added ive thought of it so i could max my blessing as non casher.
Another thing that would help is ....

Selling and buying items in shop for crystals.
Being able to buy a crystal card from the shop. [ Crystal card 800 Crystal Cost: 1000 Crystals ] - also so you can help your friends with blessing zodiac and such.
