Deities specific items

[Hexigo]

Hello

I'm new to ALFA, been reading for year and finally active for about 3 months.

Anyway I've noticed that Mielikki's Grove and Chauntea's (the ones I could check) are missing deity specific items, contrary to Silvanus which has all kinds of items from armor, weapons to rings.

I did a bit of search in the forum and read somewhere that it is like that because, maybe, nobody has tooled any items for the said shops.

So I decided to try the Toolset for the first time
Searched a bit around the forums and found some basic guidelines.
Bottom line, I managed to create some items, tried to follow ALFA's rules regarding item creation as much as possible.

What I want to know now is if you (players, DMs, and everyone else) are interested in getting a few more items to add to the world, I could tool some items for the deities shops for the players to buy.
I dont know if the items I create are completly correct according to ALFA's rules but I'm sending an example for you to check.
If anyone would be interested in this kind of stuff (simple items, no big deal stuff, I'm not too good ) I could use the help with enchantments, ideas and prices, and tool some items.

I've followed the guidelines provided by these posts:

Dont know if my work is working because I havent checked the items ingame myself, but someone might be better at doing such so here goes the file:
Its Mielikki's Ring, Magic Fang, lets the wearer cast Magic Fang once per day, I think that is IC to the deity's dogma. (items based on the Silvanus's ones, as far as name, description and pricing goes)

I'll try to test this ingame later.
PS: About the other deities, I could also tool some stuff for them, but I dont know much about other religions other than Mielikki right now, so I would require all the info for those.


--Edit--
Tested ingame, seems to be working fine.

From my perspective as EADM I would certainly not dissuade a player from pursuing this kind of thing. Looking through the mod, it is easy to find many inconsistencies that simply have not been of a high enough priority to get fixed.

That said, when creating items for stores, there are a few things that are important:

• Additional Price field: The toolset does not correctly price items to our standards, so use the pricing list (found on the standards forum) to ensure items are correctly priced
  
  Don't go over the top: Magnificently valuable items are awesome, just not for static stores
  
  Patience: this is, above all the most important one. One of us still has to go over every item submitted and make sure they are kosher, then have to set up the store and update the module. This can take time.

Lastly, there is no guarantee that a store will end up getting made if the DM team doesn't feel it fits. If you are worried about working on something just for it to not be used, get in contact with myself or HDM Curm (me preferred as Curm is a busy man, I act as a filter of sorts ) and give us a little time to mull it over. As a rule, the less we have to do, the more likely you are to get the go ahead

I'll see to the pricing standards then
Regarding the power of the item, I tried to follow Silvanu's rings, low level spell and once per day, not sure if that is too much or not, can always use some feedback from the community.

Anyway, I understand what you said about patience and about the items need to be perfect.
I'll see what the people think and suggest, and then inform you about what I'm thinking of doing.

Thanks

When I made all that religious stuff (ie for Silvanus, Ilmater, Torm, Tyr, Bane, and a ton of others) I would consult the FRCS and check the deity's favourite weapon and colours and any other specifics in the descriptions and cleric domains. A lot of stuff had to be tweeked and changed for balancing, so be careful. I used to have players emails me .erfs, so I would try and consult with the current main builder. Good luck, it's a lot of fun. I did build some Mielikki stuff for my NWN1 Daggerdford server years ago.
