Please remember that this is a Roleplay event, you do not have to agree with, get along with, or be polite to the GMNPC, but you take the risk of losing out if they decide they don't like you.
This is event isn't for the faint of heart, weak stomached, or those who feel they should have been a Barbarian. If you regret your choices I fully understand but this is for BARBS ONLY.

I find it reasonable. Ask others what they pay for custom tattoo's and features. At a free event none the less. No cash involved.. a true RP event..

Wow. Just....wow. Aren't brands actually something used for cattle, horses, and slaves?
But hey, its a quest that doesn't make you have to pay ACTUAL REAL money for once. It's a start.

tattoos have been socially acceptable for longer than scarification has been. there is a dark history for tattoos just like branding. the symbolic nature of branding as a rite of passage in some tribes is what this event plays to, and you can be as big of a jerk about as you want, but it is a really cool bit of lore for barbarians and a nice thing to see happen that is not simucoin driven while being done in a way to keep it as something that is special and rare.

Looked it up. Was not aware that there is a new(ish) trend of people combining tattoos with branding. Whatever floats people's boats.
Also I do agree that it's a nice thing that DR is doing, something that doesn't cost simicoins. What I DO have a problem with is that, yeah sure it's a cool rp thing but only circle 100+ (and rich) players can do it. Can't their be tiers? That way, that circle 80 character doesn't have to regret that they missed a cool event just because they weren't good enough.

It's not really new, it's been kicking around for years.
Most reputable tattoo artists won't do it, because scarification is difficult and has a VERY high risk of infection. Above and beyond what a tattoo imposes. Most people don't do brands, they opt for surgical skin removal (similar to how tattoos are removed, amusingly enough), which has its own set of risks. Plus they can't promise what a scar will heal up as. They can channel wounds (heh) but your own body will heal something differently, at different speeds and different thicknesses. And scar tissue isn't anything to sneeze at.
I compare it to the low-budget version of those 'snake people' who get tongues split and other highly questionable body modifications; most of the time they have to spend a long time finding a surgeon who will even do it, and then said surgeon specifically makes them sign an NDA so that no one knows they did it.
Not really relevant but I like body mod stuff.

This was something put in the game as a mark for people at the top of the barbarian guild. So having tiers kind of defeats the purpose and lowers the value of the act. There is already a barbarian in the game who has one, and her accomplishment was pretty impressive. I think that's where the precedent is set.

Yup, branding is a long established thing in Barbarian lore in DR, and it carries very significant connotations of being a very skilled and accomplished Barbarian. Until now, there has only been one PC in the game to ever earn one. This event is a way to open that up some, but still ensure that it is a very rare RP-related thing that carries a great deal of weight behind it. It is, in fact, intended to be out of the reach of the lower ranks so as to not degrade the lore.

Or the higher ranks who have drained their savings accounts down to close to nothing buying stuff. Like me. Guess I'll be sitting this one out as I have no way to make 4K plat by the time this runs.
It is cool and greatly appreciated though. Especially based on how the turn around from the suggestion to the event took play. GM powers activate! Form of a war mammoth!

By the way, I think this is meta-gaming. But, anyway:
What I mean is this - I think this exact situation could bring about an interesting roleplaying opportunity. My character is a trader - and relatively low-level at that. Looking to break into the big time, so to speak. Also, I, as the player, am looking for interesting opportunities to engage with the community in unique roleplaying situations / scenarios.
So, here is what I'm thinking, driven by the practical constraint that my character does not have 5K plat of any currency. My character would be happy to loan out 500 plats, though, under something like the following roleplaying scenario:
1. Our characters somehow connect (should be easy enough to manage - maybe you have a pouch to sell).
2. Somehow the topic comes up, and the need for further plats is discussed
3. We relocate to an inn or something, and discuss further, the construct being: a) enter the event, b) my character will try to arrange others to contribute the necessary plats to then get to you in time, c) the juice is a constant factor, so, borrow 4K plats and promise to pay back 5K plats, d) whether or not my character needs to make personal guarantees or the other stipulations would be entirely up to one-on-one conversations (say with other Traders, other characters, etc).
4. If you make it through + I raise the money, it is given to you and my character on the other "investors" will look for re-payment; a branded Barbarian should be trustworthy, no?
5. If you don't make it through or I fail to raise the requisite amount of platinums (both of which appear to be entirely possible) then the deal never activates and no coin is every provided, so the deal falls apart and everyone goes home.
Like I said, this is totally meta-gaming, but, I think the situation and the number of conversations that would need to be had to orchestrate this would be super fun. Also, there are lots of things that could go wrong, with a pretty substantial sum of money (at least for my character) so that makes things interesting as well.
I've said before that I'm relatively new at this, so would appreciate reactions to the above. Not even sure if this is kosher to do. Reactions could include: "That's a dumb idea, not interested..." which I would totally understand and not be sensitive about at all.

My understanding is no, so if you have a tattoo custom done you should still be able to have a brand? I could be wrong
I see that some think the price is pretty high, but I think this is in line with making it 'harder' I am sure if you ask around other barbs might give a loan or let you do chores for it! RP it up..this is a neat thing

Can't get a non-custom tattoo at all, or can't get a non-custom tattoo after getting a brand without losing the brand?
In other words:
1) Getting a non-custom tattoo before getting a brand = you'll have both
2) Getting a custom tattoo before getting a brand = you'll have both
3) Getting a brand before getting a non-custom tattoo = you'll lose your brand

Follow up question, will there be a tattoo shop at Guildfest that offers tattoo removal services? Alternatively, will you be able to 'burn off' non-custom tattoos during the branding process?
Afaik the only mainland tattoo shops ingame are Grey Raven which charges prison scrip for removal and Premium shops that charge LTBs.

From what it looks like brands are playing in the tattoo slot-- so it would stand to reason since players can't shift that you won't harm a brand.. I'd definitely not get a non custom (ie shop purchased either premie fest etc) tattoo.. In other words if a GM doesn't tattoo you..dont get it.. otherwise it seems shifting wouldn't harm a brand

Brands and tattoos.
I did some testing so I could give the best answers I could.
If you have a tattoo when you get a brand, it looks like it is up to the GMNPC doing the brand and the player as to if the tattoo gets "removed" or not.
If you have a brand and try to get a non-custom tattoo, the system shouldn't let you, but it's probably better not to try. It does not appear to remove the brand but things happen.
If you have a brand and later get a custom tattoo, you should be fine.
Shifting should not effect the brand, just like it doesn't a tattoo.

I'm sorry, I did miss the question. Some parts will be easy enough to show up and watch, others not so much. I can't really speak too much on the what or why because I don't want to give away anything. I will say that maybe a Barbarian will let you come along on parts. That will be up to them.

Are there any links to epedia or anywhere dealing with the lore of the branding? Putting brand in Epedia brings up some lovely pages about leather holders and satchels.
And if there isn't an expressly stated tradition but this has been something passed down within game, is branding exactly how I am thinking? Hot poker to the flesh to leave a mark?

She's the only Barbarian to ever be branded. There have been one or two other people that have been branded as criminals and such during big RP events, but Phii is the only one that has ever been branded in the Barbarian way so the section labeled "The Marking" is probably the best description you'll get.
