Why should Ta'Illistim have a corner on the market for paper when the ingredients are common, and the options for beautiful artisan papers are around us everywhere?

I'm here to suggest Papermaking for the newest craft.

We could get extra fancy and make origami paper, music sheets, kites, and tissue paper, too - but that sounds like more work.

Or I guess someone could make a paper press and sell it.

Miss Newsby needs a ready supply of paper locally, one way or the other!

Please consider this idea. :)

(I sure don't disagree with your idea, this is where you can find paper)

I was super excited about collecting a bunch of variously unlocked stationary boxes but can 100% get behind player generated paper production (I and few others threw some ideas out)!
That being said, here is a little trick that I hope doesn't get anyone in trouble and is allowed by all GALD merchants moving forward-
If you fill up your box, a merchant should be able to change the appearance of all of those pieces in one shot! Personalized paper products!
Offering some form of permanence to those boxes would be AMAZING as an auction quality win. However, something like the picture paper production would be fantastic. Make it use foragables or something if needed for balance.

5k or a gold ring for the daily chronomage pass, I'll give you whichever, your choice.

Newsby's money is no good at the Chronomage office ... been there, tried that.

I will have to work on a gold ring for her.

OR ... wait for PAPERMAKING to come out next month! :)

Good luck on that.... it took ten years of hinting, bribing, whining, harassing, and peeing on boots for River's Rest to get it's flinger after it was proposed.

Right after mining and smelting! :D

I like the idea though. Maybe a few related skills connected to paper and scribery and such.

Like readable books? Or coded messages for spies?

(Sorry, just thinking of cool things that paper could be used for in-game.)
