Mystic Worlds

Re-Subscribed to EQ2 Ex as Gold Member

Just before my mother passed away I was preparing to spend time exploring the new Rift content.  Since then I’ve decided I want something creative and less on rails, so I’m returning to EQ2 crafting.  I don’t have the time, energy or patience for the effort necessary to re-open my furniture shop.  I’ve decided to start a long term, more personal project of turning a Felwithe Mansion prestige house, into a wizard city.

High fantasy is where it’s at for me when it comes to favorite genre.  I like the idea of having a big project I can come back to when I have the time and inclination.  I’m looking forward to the creative challenge without the pressure of what someone else wants or needs.  I have a little too much on my plate in real life at the moment for the demands of others in a game.

I haven’t done anything yet.  I had just enough spare time to re-subscribe and purchase the house on the market place.  No auction expiration ia another thing I LOVE ABOUT EQ2’S AUCTION HOUSE. Logging into a game I haven’t played for months and finding plat in my sales displays is lovely.  Even better is the almost immediate continuation of sales from pre-existing listings once the upkeep owed on the house is paid up. SAHWEET!

EQ2 DIY Decorating - Simple Corner Bar

Every home that I’ve decorated or visited on behalf of potential customers contains a bar.  Is that a little odd since very few people I know in real life have bars in their homes?  I suppose that’s part of the fantasy coming out but I’ve never wanted one myself. I had a very simple bar in my original Halas starter home and the equivalent set I sold to players was extremely popular.

Before the holiday rush, I configured a new bar in the showroom. I used the same basic counter, one that the average player can afford to purchase.  The fancier ones made from Ironwood and above are extremely expensive since they require rare woods.  I find players more willing to pay that price for kitchen configurations more so than bars.  And because I was placing this bar alongside my lowest priced kitchen set, I wanted it in a similar price range.

DIY Issues Being Housed Here

I don't know why I thought to separate the posts for the DIY issues on a separate mini blog.  It's a few more steps than I want to maintain long term.  All future issues will be housed and linked here but under the EQ2 Decorating DIY Issues category if you want to find all issues.
