Tuesday Tidings #306 - Appraisal Roundtimes and Messaging · on 12/30/2025 15:25	2197
Happy Tuesday! This week, we're continuing to tackle player suggestions. Specifically, we're addressing a recent discussion on Discord that highlighted the fact that appraisal roundtimes weren't affected by skill. Good news! Now they are! Quick appraisals can be reduced down to 2 seconds. Normal and careful appraisals can be reduced down to 4 seconds. There were no changes to exp, timers, or anything else -- only the RT values! This should apply to MOST appraisals, but do be aware that some scripted items (such as bundles, gem pouches) handle their own RT. In the future, we can look into bringing some of those in line with this update. Additionally, we've added a line to appraisals for scripted items to note that they ARE scripted, and as such may require a special alterer or not be alterable at all. Again, like the note above, there may be some specially scripted items that handle their own appraisal that end up lacking this message -- we can evaluate those as we become aware of them. In the end, it's still up to the merchant whether they will or won't work with something, but hopefully this helps to at least identify items that may have extra hurdles involved. Let us know if you run into any quirks, and please continue to use the #suggestions topic for ideas! Cheers, BrewMaster Paklin
