Time for an Artisian Profession?

Perhaps an answer to these topics?

Candle maker profession

Interesting concept. I definitely have a beehive with honey and wax already in my mind for a future release. I would have put beehives under the farmer (if they are man-made beehives) and allowed them to collect honey and wax. Wouldn’t think it would need a whole profession though. As candles aren’t going to be a commonly used rezzable item to produce light on a sim or an avatar. We could add the crafting station for making candles and lanterns in multiple steps, that’s not an issue and I can …

Farmers splitting into a Peasant class?

And for the farmer. We could look into creating “Peasant” which takes on baskets, pottery and those other mundane tasks that a farmer doesnt truly fit into, to split up some of that cxp earning sway from the farmer which is currently earning huge amounts. We would leave farmer with fields and the flour mill for cxp which is plenty. Not open to the idea of earning cxp from gathering things. CXP is crafting experience not gathering experience.

Also a split off from this topic:

Parchment purposed with News Stand?

So, for this idea to really be easy enough for everyone, I imagine it’d require a type of parchment made from easily grown or gathered material so that the parchments can be reasonably priced for bulk purchase in batches of say… 25, 50, and 100 perhaps. Parchment batched for the “loading” into a SLC News Stand, which would be a paper stand that requires X-amount of copper for 1 copy of the paper (1 to 5 copper I imagine,) which I think would be cool as a note-card giver. A SLC coin (or other co…

So… If the News Stand is a cool enough idea, I think that parchment making, perhaps pottery, and baskets could easily fit as an Artisan profession… (I think a peasant profession/class, perhaps could be someone who gains a minimal CXP as a laborer, gathering reeds for baskets, clay for pots and jars, … maybe, if you want to get fancy, split CXP with farmers if they help harvesting fields…(copying this chunk to the proper thread))

So and Artisan Profession may make baskets, pots, jars, bags, parchments(?) and candles… ((idea plucked from this topic here: Candle maker profession - #5 by Lillith ))

Candles I think would be a fun pre-test to other “booby traps” in the way of making a fairly simple rezzible candle that could have been infused with a potion made by an Alchemist/Herbalist, or simply infused with flowers or toxic mushrooms and flowers… xD Get people drunk, sick, fatigued, etc… or for the good blends, relaxation in the way of a quick energy and fatigue boost/cure.

Candles being that thing that might take the longest to gather ingredients, especially if using wax from honey combs… but, might also tie in lard from the butchers…?
