Players are welcome to and encouraged to set up shop on the guild grounds. The only restrictions we are placing on player-created shops is that they are not allowed to profit off other players, be it in gems or Gaia gold (and of course Gaia TOS apply) and that they cannot effect the battle system or be something available in an official shop (those marked with [O]). Other than that, you're welcome to do whatever - sell coffee, sell stuffed animals, sell lap dances.. well, maybe not that last one.
Roleplay with your customers and have a good time!
ON THE MATTER OF ITEM CREATION. If you have noticed, Auguste and Sisel, who are PCs, both have item creation abilities. A character whose class specializes in potion creating (i.e. a chemist or a witch who specializes in brews) would be able to create potions according to their level, but the average mage cannot do this.
Additionally, we're going to limit creation and boosting of items like Auguste does. For all intents and purposes, his services should be regarded as the duties of an NPC, and his player does not get to make items for themself for free. Though his player roleplays him as a PC, his store serves as a tool for others to roleplay with and the player does not make a gem profit off it. PCs
may not create items that give them stat bonuses (+1 to melee/ranged/magic, +10 to HP, etc.).
If you have made a character that you specifically want to be an inventor, you can come up with one new invention a week (for personal use) and in order to create it you must pay a small sapphire gem fee for the materials. PM one of the moderators or the mule and we'll get back to you with whether or not the concept is acceptable and how much it'll cost to make it. Inventors do not gain the ability to make special effects permanent on an item until 3rd level. Here's what you can do at each level:
LEVEL ONE One-time use items. (After being used, the item breaks.) Small scale effects.
LEVEL TWO Limited use items equal to magic bonus. (An inventor with +3 to magic can make an item that can be used three times before it breaks.) More potent effects.
LEVEL THREE Permanent magical effects. You can use the item as much as you like and it'll keep working. More intricate or powerful effects.
