new skill - appraisal

Requires eyeballery. When you use eyeballery, the value of quoins appearing on the screen would be visible.

  • Don't think I would learn/use this as it would ruin the randomness - I love the surprise of getting that 700xp coin that I assumed was probably just 7xp. 

    Of course people who learned this skill would tend to cherry-pick the high value quoins and leave only the smaller ones. Goodbye random surprise!

  • I'm with Cat Face, except doubly so on the second part.

  • Unless I'm mistaken high value quoins tend to always appear in the same general area (I'm probably mistaken) - and most quoins I've seen refresh pretty quickly; generally it's as simple as walking off the street.

    This would make for a fun treasure-hunting skill, though it might require that the same quoin not always be set back to the same value bracket, or a cool-down period for collecting quoins by street rather than by how often they respawn.

    Those who like the surprise wouldn't need to learn the skill (and could unlearn it just as easily). Additionally, since you can't move while using eyeballery, it's a slower process than say, running through the AL and just grabbing all the high value quoins that appear there 3-4 times in a day, which is what many glitchen seem to currently do.\

    The other benefit would be that scattering the distribution of high-value quoins could be an incentive to have people exploring many streets in remote regions that get neglected, and actively dodging quoins as they move, which can be a fun challenge in and of itself.
