Other activities of the Silver Anvil
While the monthly market is of course a busting center of comerce and life, selling and buying goods is not the only thing you can do there! Several other things will be offered, for fun and opportunity!
For example...
The Starfall Table
Starfall is a game of dice once played by guards and sentinals of old times. Recently rediscovered, it is a game often found in places of commercial opportunitys.
The rules are simple.
Its a game for 2 to 6 players, and all you need is something to write (Or a good memory) and six dices.
The game begins, every player seets the table minimum of gil. Then Player one throws all the dice and checks its numbers. Dice that share a visible number, can be set aside.
Example:
After that, the player may rise its bet of gil. And then throw the remaining dices again. If the remaining dice show a number the player has set aside before, he could add them to these.
Example:
After that, the players may rise again, if they wish so. the player then notes his score of the round and its the next players turn.
The game is repeated util 3 turns were played, then the gathered points will be added. The highest score wins! But there are some additional rules.
Lets say this was a game of three players.. and lets use fictional numbers for an easy example.
Scores:
Obviously, Player 2 would have won, right?
Wrong! As the other two players managed to trigger special rules of the games.
Player 1 managed a "Starfall", while player 3 managed a "Shooting Star".
Starfall: You were able to score higher each round, making the stars fall for your glory! Your total score gets doubled!
So player 1 indeed managed to score a total of 36.
Shooting Star: You were able to double your score each round! The stars burn with joy as they fall for you! Your total score gets multiplied by four! So player 3 is clearly the winner with a total score of 56!
To the winner goes the spoils of the bet money, good game and good luck next time!
But what else do we have to offer?
Well there still is..
The Crystal Gamble
Crystals, a valuable good for the Silver Anvil as they are vital to their art just as ore and wood. At the Crystal Gamble, you are able to round up a nice sum of money for your gathered crystals.
After a base evaluation of the crystal you offer, depending on the current need of the Anvil for this kind of crystal and its quality, you are given a bracelet with a color.
While wandering the market area, try to spot others that wear the same kind of bracelet, as that logically mean they offer the same level of need and quality as you do.
Near the end of the market time, bring those together who wear the same kind of bracelet. the more you manage, the higher the price multiplier for your gathered crystals!
If you come alone, the price for your crystals may be much less then you hoped for.
The grand auction!
The great final of every montly market, the grand auction.
At this moment, goods of exeptional quality will be sold, may they be crafted goods that are worth a fortune or true masterpieces or treasures found ind ark, deep caves. if you are looking for a great deal, this may be your chance!
You are free to give such items to the Silver Anvil for the auction, but note that the Anvil will have a cut of the sold items value after having it sold!
The delivery service.
Great shipments, like weapon and armor deliverys for a militia or a mercanery guild, are delivered by wagon and chocobo, as we cannot expect them to visit our workshops to pick the crates up one by one. Such travels are often difficult and dangerous, with thieves and monsters on the road, thus the Silver Anvil is willing to pay hired blades as a protection service for the track.
Thats all until now, I hope you found something to look forward too!
