3rd Party Creators and Herb & Fable

3rd Party Creators and Herb & Fable

There are a few ways that 3rd party creators can get involved and join the Herb & Fable family.

Produce

Essentially anyone can make produce to sell, gift or make available for use to Herb & Fable players.  You can buy the transferable scripts (nocopy/nomod/trans) to pop into your items to sell.  Produce affects a player’s attributes (The Prana, Power, Emotional Wellbeing, Spirituality, Vitality, Wellness and Happiness.  They don’t affect XP and they don’t have badges.  You can sell your produce for L$ or F$ (in-game currency), you can give them away as gifts or you can leave them out somewhere accessible for others to use (useful for bringing traffic to an area).  Produce is always transferable.

Transferable produce scripts are available in packs of 5 and packs of 10.  You will use one transferable script for each item of produce that you sell.

The scripts are placed into an object created by you (you MUST show as the creator on the root prim – you can use full perm items and attach them to a prim as root).  In addition to the script you will place a config notecard containing details about your produce item.  You can assign how much each attribute will be healed or damaged (max is 100 on each) and how many uses the produce has (max 10).

Ingredients

Approved creators can submit ingredients to be added to the database and these can be used in your recipes.  Ingredients do need to be approved and you submit them for approval on the website as do you apply to be an approved creator.  Your ingredients will also be made available for others to use in their recipes (which means more sales for you!).  Ingredients should be original mesh ONLY which means you must be able to make your own mesh items for giving ingredients.  When you have an ingredient approved you are sent the script to pop into your mesh item to sell or give to your customers.  Ingredients scripts are delivered copy/trans/nomod but you must change the perms to transfer ONLY before you sell.  Ingredients are sold on an affiliate basis and a small proportion of each sale goes to Herb & Fable (exact percentage tbc after testing).

Recipes

During the beta phase only creators of ingredients can develop recipes but it is intended that everyone will be able to develop recipes in the future.  Recipes use ingredients to make something – that might be food or drink, or it might be some kind of crafting or such – the possibilities are endless really as long as you have something to give when someone completes a recipe.  Recipes can give badges upon completion of production (subject to approval) and can give XP to one of the pathways i.e. Herbology, Witchcraft, Connection or Nature.

Equipment

It will be possible in the future for approved creators to create equipment for processing recipes.
