Once a beautiful tree... (elf caravan issue)

(1/5) > >>

oolon1:
"Once a beautiful tree..."  as if they're sad and insulted.Meanwhile, there's over 4000$ worth of wooden armor, weapons, cages, and crafts in their caravan.  How dare they have this double standard! I know this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't remember if it was in here.  If elves are offended by woodcrafting, they can't bring that stuff to trade to me.  It means either a) they are responsible for the woodcrafting, or b) they acquired the items through trade previously, both violations of this anti-woodcrafting code they seem to so fiercely uphold.Bastards, but I'm guessing this is a bug.

darkfred:
I believe they enchant the tree to grow the items from branch buds. Then when the items are complete they fall off the tree and it remains living.See: most modern fantasy which includes elves. The second book of the 'Eragon' series explains this method in quite some detail.Regards

GauHelldragon:
Elves are only morally opposed to OTHER races cutting down trees. Duh.

seanb:
Sorry i'm digging up an old topic, but i figured it was better than starting a topic anew about the same issue. Google found the thread for me.

I've got this problem right now, but the thing is i'm not trying to give the elves any wooden items. I'm trying to trade them Shell Crafts. They seem to think they are wood.

"Mame: Once a beautiful tree, and now? It is a rude bauble, fit only for your kind."

I don't have a lot of wood, so i wouldn't dare make wooden crafts. Is this worthy of a bug report? I'm in 31.20

Os Q:
It might be a bug if you're not trying to sell them bins of crafts (they won't buy wooden containers.) Could you tell us what kind of shell? (Mussel, turtle, cave lobster)
