| |
| | | | |
| | + | A trader called Amenophthis who intends to sell exotic goods rare to Egypt. |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: Ah, more people are arriving
| + | He seemed courteous in our discussions with him. He uses his own trade unit called a 'Knar'. |
| | | | |
| − | BlueGrass: could we not trade them for some of the goods you have to offer?
| + | ==When did he first make his appearance in Egypt?== |
| | + | *RL 16th January 2010. |
| | + | <br>He spoke with McArine and to Lavitz. Essentially this man announced he would be trading 'a few trinkets, as well as a few of my specialities'. |
| | | | |
| − | McArine: Hello again Amenophthis :-)
| + | A portion of the chat may be found here at [[Amenophthis/chats]] |
| | | | |
| − | Khaemwaset: Greetings Amenophthis
| |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: A good day to you McArine
| + | ==And the main event?== |
| | + | *RL date 17 January 2010 |
| | + | *Ingame Yr 3- Shemu IV-20 between 11am and 4pm |
| | + | <br>He had set up a small camp near Meroe chariot. This camp comprised a fancy tent, chests and storage drums surrounding a bright bonfire and a large cooking pot. |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: I have some certain items in mind for those, BlueGrass | + | [[Image:Amenophthis.png|center|350px|The Camp]] |
| | | | |
| − | BlueGrass: Very good
| + | His appearance had been announced on E! Many of us travelled to Meroe to see this visitor. He looked like one of us but was not. |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: I also have some Puzzle Granite, something which I believe is very hard to find in Egypt
| + | He had the rare [http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Marble#Puzzle_Granite_.28Perception_over_40.29 Puzzle Granite] and [[Gold]] for trade in exhange for herbs. He said he had 'special commodities' which would improve the already natural fertility of the Nile. However he required specific items of our resources which are unique to Egypt, including herbs and mushrooms. |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: I am open to any offers from people wishing to buy either gold or puzzle granite.
| + | This special commodity was a substance called '[[Fertility]]' also known as 'Nkambtha'. And he also was willing to trade to the highest bidder the secret of making this substance. Sadly he only had 100deben of this substance available for trade. |
| | | | |
| − | Khaemwaset: For what goods Amenophthis?
| |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: Specialities of Egypt
| + | '''Trade Logs''' |
| | + | * 5 deben of [[fertility]] for 20 bottles of well aged Egyptian wine (5 vintages or older- at the time of writing we were on 35 vintage) |
| | + | * BlueGrass traded 20 turtle shell for 5 [[Fertility]] |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: Assorted herbs or Mushrooms
| + | Althought trading for debens of [[fertility]] was relatively straightforward although not exactly cheap. His price for the secret was rather more expensive. |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: Or
| + | He would trade the secret of making the Elixer for certain hard-to-find mushrooms... Sun Star, Beehive and Golden Sun. These mushrooms when mixed together make a drink beloved of nobles in far off lands. |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: I do have a rather special commodity
| + | [[Image:Amenophthis_shrooms.png|center|The Shrooms!]] |
| | | | |
| − | Amenophthis: As I have pointed out, the soil in Egypt is not of the best quality
| + | *Sun Star worth 50 knar |
| | + | *BeeHive worth 100 knar |
