Black Market Mat Merchants….

Black Market Mat Merchants….

So, I have an idea, which I thought would be a cool/fun mini game as well as helping to fix the broken economy as well as giving dapper some value.


The story behind it: For some reason or other the people who rule over the cities believe that selling basic Q150+ mats to be a crime, but with so many crafters needing materials to boost their crafting skill, there is obviously a huge demand for stock. So the BMMM have decided to fill this void. The work in the shadows, never in the same place for long, and try not to revisit the same place twice. The move across Atys selling Q250 Basic materials to whomever can answer their code word. Once there they will sell you packages of materials for a set price (not individual mats) This price goes up the more you spend with them as it’ll be harder for them to resupply their stocks. The Leaders of the 4 races are declared the BMMM outlaws and anyone who is known to be associated with them will have their rights suppressed.


What this means in terms of gameplay:


Every Season a Homin will spawn in random places around Atys. This could be in cities or somewhere obscure. This wont be announced and the players will literally have to stumble across him to find him. Like how you would find a hawker. On this Homin are 60 packages which contain Q250 mats. The lower the number the package the better the deal. For the sake of explanation, this Homin will have 18,600 mats split into these packages. The first package will contain 200 mats and cost 500,000 dapper(average price of mat 2500). Package 20 will cost 2,363,400 and will contain 300 mats(average price of mat 7878) Package 40 3,140,000 and contain 340 mats (Average price: 9235) (see chart included for more detailed info). So ultimately this Homin will take 159,150,600 off players and give out 18,600 mats. The Homin who sells the mats will ask a riddle, get it right and he opens a merchant window, get it wrong and you wont be able to trade with him until the next season. Also as a side effect every package you buy decreases your fame by 1 for the racial continent that it was sold in. (for example, buying 5 packages while the guy was in Pyr would decrease your Fyros fame by 5)


Every season the Homin will be fully stocked up.


All mentioned can be done with the tools the game dev(s) already have.

Thoughts, comments opinions? - Hopefully it makes sense
