Wheeling and Dealing

This page applies to Sined, not my other alts!

If you ask me for something, be prepared to pay the price I ask here. I may choose to charge you less, you always have the choice to pay me more than I ask. I don't deliver anything except in emergencies. I decide what an emergency is, not you. All interrupts are maskable, I choose my priorities.

Blorps

I can provide blorps to most places on the disc, using whatever jewellery you provide, or standard gold rings. Offer me an incentive. I don't normally carry the spell, so the incentive has to persuade me to stop what I'm doing, mess about changing spells, go and do the blorp etc etc.

Enchanting

I don't normally have the spells memorised, so offering some inducement when making a request for enchanting could help.

Please note, level 10 (radiant) is not the same as fully enchanted. An item will appear radiant at 91% or more of fully enchanted, and obtaining full enchant may take further casts of the High Enchant spell. The caster can tell when an item is fully enchanted from messages given off while casting the spell. The enchantment levels are:

Appearance Level From % To %
No enchantment visible 0 0 0
It occasionally pulses with octarine light. 1 1 10
It emits a slight octarine glow. 2 11 20
It softly pulses in dull octarine shades. 3 21 30
It gives off a steady but dull octarine glow. 4 31 40
It gives off a steady octarine glow. 5 41 50
It glows an intense octarine. 6 51 60
It emits a bright octarine colour. 7 61 70
It brightly pulses octarine. 8 71 80
It glows brilliant octarine shades. 9 81 90
It radiates pure octarine brilliance. 10 91 100

Each cast uses 1 handful of Purple Mineral Powder. The ability to attain a given level of enchantment when casting the spell depends on several factors:

For these reasons, it is impossible for any but the most skilled wizards to reliably and accurately predict the cost of enchanting a specified item to a specified level. As a general guide, I can usually get from level 5 (steady) to max enchant (rad / sloshed) in 6 casts, but it may take up to 8.

If I don't have the powder available, then you will have to provide your own. If you are supplying your own powder, some token of appreciation for my effort is suggested. Each cast uses 1 handful (50 pinches) of Purple Mineral Powder. This can not be expressed in terms of a given number of Purple Mineral Nuggets, as the nuggets may give anything between 10 and 40 pinches of powder when pulverised. Please don't talk in terms of nuggets, nuggets are a very imprecise measure.

If you ask me to supply the powder, then depending on my stock levels expect to pay between $100 and $120 per cast.

Recharging

Payment must be made in advance, and is non refundable if the artifact explodes during the recharging attempt, but will be refunded (partially if appropriate) if examination of the artifact shows that recharging may be dangerous or destructive. Recharging takes place in a null magic area, normally one of the Wizard's Guild Gyms.

For recharging of balsa wands, see here. for all other items, please ask me about a price.

If I don't have the powder available, then you will have to provide your own. If I do provide powder, the powder cost is in addition to the recharging price.

A "life deposit" of 30 royals may be required on certain items. This will be refunded if I am not killed in the recharging process, otherwise it will be used to purchase a new life (and any excess will then be refunded). Without this deposit, I will not charge the following:

Supplies

Purple Mineral Powder

I sell Purple Mineral Powder when I have a surplus for A$100 / handful, or A$3 / pinch in smaller quantities.

This is the same price as I charge when I use the powder in enchanting and recharging, and is based on the cost of buying stolen nuggets fenced via Fruitcakes.

I often buy Purple Mineral Powder but the price I am willing to pay at any time depends on my current need and the amount I have available. Fruitcakes currently buys Purple Mineral Powder for $75 / handful.

Scrolls

I don't carry a quill. I don't want to carry a quill. I have died too many times from casting spear after scribing a spell for someone else to ever carry a quill again!!

Casting Spells

Generally free except for component costs.

Taxi / Portals

I'll happily create a portal from where I am to any location that I have (within the constraints of the CWC / Circle Sea limitations). I won't travel to you to portal you unless there is some pressing reason to do so, this normally means corpse rescue, broken legs etc.
