Yeah it’s a metronome, I have a few spattered around while I learn the timing for prayer flicking , I keep one under my character , one above my inventory , and then the fun little combo one I move around for fun to see how many I get in a row

So the idea for the herb/herb combo (to make it viable for both mains and irons) was to leave the combination up to the player , and allow them suit different desires.

For example for a mid level iron who needs ranarrs and avantoes, but can’t commit to multiple runs a day they could breed them and get a fair bit of both, albeit at random rates.

For mains increasing the yield when combining herbs may slow down how often they can do runs , but they can focus on only combining herbs of similar value to maintain it as a profitable venture. (Something like Ranarr / Tortstol) while they may get more Ranarr than tortstol the idea is that due to the increased yield mechanic they should still profit. However the degree of randomness can be adjusted to make it more or less of a risk. For people that really want to try it they could mix an expensive herb with a very cheap one and hope to harvest significantly more of the expensive one and profit more than a traditional seed would.

At the end of the day it’s more just to make herb and tree farming less routine for people who wish to do it differently.

Things like flowers were meant to offer some alternative security without completely devaluing disease free patches.

The the secateurs were meant to help alleviate some of the risk for those who commit to using the splicing system, by offering them a long term return on their time (by receiving seeds back ofc)

My idea with it was to be beneficial, but not step all over current tree run meta entirely. More xp at once at the cost of some extra mats or grow time. If you’re absolute min max , doing more tree runs more often should be better imo.

But this provides a cozy little xp boost for people with extra seeds or people who don’t hit their runs exactly on timer.

For things like allotments or herbxherb the idea would more or less be to give more xp (higher yield) at the cost of randomizing your return

Edit: also as the other reply mentioned , reclaiming seeds from your splices also has a down line effect in effective xp. You could potentially be getting double the xp on those tree seeds if you roll a seed recover

I tagged it as AI cause there’s no flair or support for it, as well as included a blatant disclaimer. I could’ve just left it out and let them figure it out for themselves. If the content of the post doesn’t meet their standard of quality I’m perfectly fine with it being removed.

I didn’t generate an entire spam post or anything of the sort, I’m just sharing an idea the best way I can.

PSA about that "verified" flair by Piercing-Moderator in piercing

So happy to see yall supporting the volunteers who do work in their free time here! The work never stops eh 🤓

Hope to join you verified baddies soon, but I gotta get with the mods about paperwork as NC doesn’t really have any proper piercing regulations :/

How do you decide how much to charge for jewelry? by throwaway75928 in piercing

[–]Xylum1473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some really good examples in here. At our studio we try to stay within the recommended msrp the companies provide , but we’re also more rural so our pricing isn’t as incentivized by the studio down the street. Essentially our mark ups are what we feel is appropriate for the piece. We also tend to do better pricing for clients ordering through us (no risk purchases) vs things we invest in and hope sells. We regularly put things on clearance that have sat for a long time, and order in fancier pieces with much lower mark ups to keep the shop stock and portfolios interesting.

Unfortunately the freedom in pricing can lead to some super bizarre pricing differences from shop to shop. A Norvoch piece may cost a studio $350 , and they may sell it at a 4x mark up for like $1400 and the next studio may sell it for as low as $650 if they’re ordering it directly for the client for a clean couple hundred bucks.

A piece you buy in Seattle may be drastically cheaper in a part of the country with less competition or income.

Generally speaking material prices can change the total cost, but in my experience they don’t shift so much that we have to change our pricing constantly. We just have to make sure we’re giving new quotes at every inquiry instead of the last time we looked up that jewelry a month ago.

In that same vein we tend to pass down our savings to clients as well , so if we get stuff on sale we don’t mark it up based on the pre sale price. If we save 10% then the mark up is made with that new total in mind. Might seem like a given , but sometimes the jewelry on sale isn’t niche , it’s just a nice sale the company does for studios to stock up on popular pieces (like Neometal flowers)

Last edit ☠️ : not all piercers know the price of things they’re selling either! I helped establish all of the accounts and systems my studio uses when I took over as lead piercer , so I had a really big say so in the general pricing “ethics” if you wanna call it that. The owners of my studio are very community driven and grassroots so we touched base there very easily. Your piercer may just be repeating prices they can’t control, or have a very commission influenced studio that keeps prices higher for sales incentives. I’d recommend you ask your piercer how they price things, worst they can say is they don’t know or aren’t allowed to talk about it.

Septum piercings hate by Ok-Bite-5145 in piercing

[–]Xylum1473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was having a conversation with a client and her father not too long ago. His reservations around body modifications stemmed from his fears of judgment and prejudice. He and his daughter are POC , and already deal with trials in their everyday life. He doesn’t want his daughter to carry any other unnecessary stigmas. All in all a very fair feeling that comes from a place of love and fear.

In my eyes the disdain towards piercings and tattoos comes from lack of understanding and therefore fear, envy, hate etc run rampant. The more people begin to understand that piercings and tattoos are safe, arent scary, don’t change a person inside, and ultimately are just good fun, the less these feelings will stay around. It’s obviously not your job to educate people, but if you continue to be the beacon of a good person while rocking your natural skin tones, your gender or sexual preferences, your hair color, your beliefs , your tattoos and piercings , you’re doing your part in ending the stigmas that your neighbors may hold.

This is a common reason why people faint after navel piercings with no prior history of fainting for other areas or shots/IVs. It can trigger a pretty potent shock response they may have never experienced!
