florist skill

What if we could buy flower seeds, and grow Glitch flowers, such as the Dayzie, the Toolup, the Banzee? Anyone could do this, but there would be a Flower Arranging skill. You could buy vases, and using the 'arrange' option, you could select flowers to put together into the vase. If you particularly liked an arrangement, you could save it and come back to it later, much like the 'save outfit' option in the Wardrobe. These could then have cards written to go along with them (using Penpersonship, of course) so you could give them to other players as desired. It would be a nice way to spruce up your house, too, once we get tables that we can put things on.

Of course, if this were to happen, we would need a better name than the conventional 'flower.' Suggestions?

  • this needs to happen.

    also, can't wait to see the first flowers arranged into the shape of a penis.

  • Hmph. Actually, I wasn't thinking of arranging into shapes - I was just thinking about mixing the flower types/colors together.

  • I would suggest something with Flora, but I still think that's too common a word.

  • @ Cupcake: Love this idea. I am in the floral business. I think it would be great to design vases for your house. Your idea of giving to friends is awesome.

  • It could be called "Floral Arts"? Or something related to Botany perhaps? Or just integrate it into the Gardening skills?

  • This would be wonderful,  I love growing things and flowers would be great.

  • Ooh, what a lovely idea! I'd love to learn floral arts skills and be able to make/sell/gift floral arrangements!

    I've always loved the flowers in game - part of the reason I chose a house in Marrakesh Meadow was the pretty flowers and landscape in the area.

    It would also be nice to plant a patch in front of my home with roses, daisies, petunias, marigolds, etc. I can see the floral planting skill coming into play later on when the option to personalize homes becomes available. Gazebos, arbors and trellises would be wonderful, too!

  • I like the idea, but I like the fact that so far, all of the things that we can make are useful.  I think that having skills to make things that will just be decorative could clog the skill tree with skills that many players won't want.

  • Well I'm sure the devs would come up for uses for the flowers...I can't think of any right now but I know there are some out there.

  • Some flowers are used as cooking ingredients, and I've also seen them used in salads and as garnishes. Some are used in medicinal treatments as well. Ooh, it would be neat to use them for aromatherapy mood boosts in game, too!

  • @striatic LOL! You're right. That's, like, the Godwin's Law equivalent of anything that can be manipulated visually, isn't it?  That and boobies.

  • neat idea cupcake ! 

    It will be nice to have some flower trees with pet, harvest, smell and pluck options. Also some flower plants can have needles, so that if you don't have high enough florist/gardener level, you get pinched and loose you mood.

    Further we can have people interaction where flowers can be associated with emotional bears:) Oh the possibilities are endless !

  • I really don't see the need for all achievements to be "useful".  It clutters the skill tree to be able to create beauty?  

    Not in my world.
