Rock Collecting

Rock Collecting
Posted 2020-10-16 21:32:53 (edited)

So since there are many, many bases in Wolvden based (ha) on different rocks/minerals/gems/metals & alloys - oh my - and being a rock collector myself, it made perfect sense to start collecting the "rocks" on here as well. After debating it for a bit, I've decided to at least test the waters and see if there are any other collectors out there, and if anyone else might be willing to take the challenge as well. It's certainly a long-haul project, but one I'm looking forward to.

If you're interested, even if in only collecting the WD rock wolf bases, let me know below! Maybe once Clans are in full operation we'll see about establishing one if there's enough interest.

~*~

Listed are the rock-based bases:

Gems: Almandine | Howlite | Onyx | Opal | Pearl | Pyrope | Sarder | Zircon

Metals/Alloys: Argent | Brass | Bronze | Chromium | Iridium | Oroide | Pewter | Silver | Steele? | Titanium | Tombac

MineralsAcanthite | Biotite | Calcite | Dravite | Feldspar | Galena | Gold (Darker, Lighter) | Nepheline | Quartz | Realgar | Sphalerite | Wulfenite

Rocks: Arkose | Chert | Diorite | Flint | Jet | Obsidian | Skarn | Slate | Striped Flint | Tuff

~*~

So there are a few interesting tidbits here, namely the Light and Darker versions of gold, whether they all ought to be listed together or separately - or listed at all, to be honest. Or if Steele should be listed simply because of the altered spelling. I don't find issue with it, but it's a little nit-pick that I suppose could be argued. lol Oh, and Dravite I believe is misspelled, as dravit is a very different thing than a rock.

Hey!
Awesome, I'm glad I got some interest! I hope we get a few more to maybe warrant having a proper Clan.

I've already gone through the current available bases and made lists of which are Minerals, Gemstones, Rocks, Metals and Alloys, though from my research a few could be classified differently than where I placed them. I could add the lists to the first post if ya'll want?

This would definitely make a great Clan theme/aim! I know I'd be interested for sure.

I know, I'll put in a ticket for the spelling of Dravite today. I think include Steele, but I'm not sure about the darker/lighter shades being included

Thanks, Coffee! I planned on doing so earlier, but with Public Release pushed back I held off - then plumb forgot. XD

I agree with you for Steele, especially since the base looks properly like its namesake. As for the Lighter/Darker, I considered including it just in case of those who aren't fond of the Gold base? (ie: me, whoops) But I suppose that it might give a little too much leeway in terms of collecting, unless all three were considered separate.

Feel free to add thoughts and opinions, everyone!

I think gold and the gold variants would be considered separate ones instead of just one for gold? I suppose everybody could take light and dark how they want individually, though. Like if you want to include them sure but if not it's okay, up to the person collecting?
