Cyrill and Peter discuss Alchemy

<stalkingBoss [sb]> has started pestering <genousEnrichment [ge]>
sb: Hello. Is this the guy who sent the Memo about SBURB?

ge: you're the stalkingBoss guy who keeps posting to my memo
ge: yea, I'm the one who made it
ge: You caught me right as I was looking at some captchalogue codes on the backs of my cards

sb: Oh, interesting, did you read my notes about it?
I've been messing around for a while

ge: yea, I read what you said about duplicating items and combining codes
ge: I've got this sweet plan to try combining some of my items to make some awesome claw-gloves

sb:Yeah, I'm trying to fuse my hatchet with the remains of a lumpus. It's actually pretty expensive.

ge: really?

sb: I need 120 grist, I'm at 31, i can't even think of someone getting more than 80 by this point.

ge: while we're still on the topic of combining items, I've been wondering
ge: do you know exactly how to combine the items?

sb: I'm kind of doing a lot of TNT
(that's trial and terror)

ge: huh

sb: I though it would sound cool......
What do you actually mean by asking that?

ge: wait, you had a pre-punched captchalogue card to alchemize during entry, right?

sb: Yes.

ge: maybe those punched holes have something to do with alchemy

sb: Yeah i assumed that too.

ge: the holes determined the design of the entry item, right?

sb: I woudn't know, i haven't tried to replicate it and i seem to have misplaced my card
By which i mean throw away

ge: that's not what I'm getting at. I'm pretty sure the holes that get punched into the cards determine the item that'll be alchemized

sb: Yeah, it's safe to assume so.

ge: so, logically, by "fusing" codes, you'd add more holes, right?
ge: or something like that

sb: Yess, i already tried that, that is indeed what happens

ge: maybe you actually subtract holes?

sb: That.....
I didn't think of that
Maybe?

ge: i dunno, but it seems like a possibility
ge: what happened with the captchalogue cards once you punched them?
ge: I kinda don't wanna lose inventory space

sb: They did become unusable if that is what you are assuming.

ge: damn
ge: Gotta be careful
ge: but maybe
ge: have you tried punching the code on a blank captchalogue card?

sb: Yeah, I'm actually down to like 7 cards
You mean of a blank card, no.

ge: maybe we can duplicate blank cards by punching and spamming blank card codes
ge: maybe we just need to make one totem for the blank card and spam the alchemize button

sb: You know what, i should do that.
now the problem
is the cost
I don't know how it's calculated
if it's size we will be fine.

ge: that's a good point

sb: If it's usefulness
well we are screwed

ge: I'd assume there's a base cost for every item based on it's power or whatever
ge: it'd only be logical if the price would scale up or down depending on how huge it is

sb: Maybe it's a combination of them all?

ge: maybe
ge: yaknow, Imma go do some experimentation myself

sb: All i know right now is that i need some clean water.

ge: what's stopping you from getting any?

sb: When you get to it spare the code for bottled water.

ge: okay

sb: I kind of lived in a forest

ge: huh

sb: and had little to no supplies

ge: huh
ge: I might still have a fridge with supplies inside
ge: my server dragged a car through my house while I was entering

sb: and i think the water around me might be poisonous
Wow

ge: I'll go check after I experiment

sb: My server at least had nothing to use.

ge: I'm gonna continue experimenting, now
ge: thx for the info

sb: Okay

ge: good luck, wherever you are

sb: Anytime
Next topic
lands and how they fuck us over
Later.

ge: later
