Grand Machine
From A Wiki in the Desert
Test of the Grand Machine
In this test players attempt to create a Grand Machine that is closest to their individual requirements. Once created, players will be able to upgrade individual components to improve their score. Each component is weighted and the closer their Grand Machine is to their requirements, the higher their score. The highest scorer each week passes the test.
Complex Components
User specific components of the Grand Machine shall be (score is only calculated off of these):
- - Multiple Blacksmithed products of a prescribed Q and Metal Type (for example 6789 - probably worth having a lower and upper limit of possible values) - also implementing the Artistic Ability from Art Test passes to be optional
- - Glassblown products of a prescribed Q (as with blacksmithed items above)
