More stuff that's been sitting in QM QUINOA for months, already signed off:
Things in Jiraiya's Notes
This is a partial list of what Kagome has discovered in Jiraiya's notes.
- Seals
- Instant Darkness Dome: Blanks out all light in a certain radius
- Electrocution Seal: sends a surge of raiton energy (which works exactly like electricity except in cases where that would make the QMs lives difficult, at which point it works differently) into whatever they are attached to for some period of time. Touching the object is harmful but not lethal.
- Substitution Seals: Two-element seal. Swap the positions and velocities of the objects the seal elements are attached to, so long as those objects are close enough, have LOS to one another, are below mass and volume limits, and are similar enough in mass.
- Jutsu. These went to Naruto and are no longer available to you.
- Earth Element: Swamp of the Underworld jutsu. Create a massive area of chakra-infused sticky mud / quicksand for enemies to fall into.
- Needle Jizō jutsu. Use your hair for protection or to throw needles. Requires a lot of natural hair
- Detailed instructions on how to learn each of the Elemental chakra natures
- Recipes
- Personal information on various people that he wants to be on the good side of -- their food preferences, birthdays, etc
- Philosophy and musings about the Will of Fire, the future of the EN, etc
- Self-flagellation
- Notes for Icha Icha -- plot ideas, character sketches, etc
- Details of Jiraiya's various less-classified adventures with the name changed to Jun, his protagonist
- Political/espionage stuff
- Blackmail on various Leaf people (ninja and non ninja)
- Blackmail on various non-Leaf people (ninja and non ninja)
- Lists of agents across the EN
- His Lightning Lash jutsu from Chapter 223. Creates a weapon, much like Noburi's Water Whip, but more flexible:
- Will cut through things or wrap around them as you choose (e.g. it cut Hana's sword but wrapped around her neck)
- Will send non-lethal shocks to a person it's wrapped around.
- Lots and lots of seals
- Earth Pillar Seal: when activated, extrudes a 50cm thick pillar of chakra construct stone at a respectable speed.
- City of Pillars. Causes 1d6 dozen stone pillars of various randomly-chosen heights (5m to 30m) and diameters (10cm to 500 cm) to erupt out of the ground in a large area. For some reason, they all have either the kanji for 'Dream' or 'Sunshine' on them.
- Twin Repulsion Seals: When both are active, they repel each other when they get too close.
- Naruto's bijū seal. Not complete information but it's a good start.
Everything in the "Political/espionage stuff" section went to Asuma and is no longer available to you. Basically, Mari said "Given our precarious position after you nearly got executed, we are not going to fuck around. Give him these things, don't keep copies, and don't try to recreate them. Do not give him any excuse to be angry with us until we've had time to win back some points."
- Your monthly tax disbursement.
- Selling tags to the Tower/general population. See the "Partial Sealing License" Informational threadmark for details.
- The Gōketsu receive a theoretical 50% of all sales of skywalkers to the Tower. (see below) This is rolled into your tax disbursements, meaning that you get 10% in cash as the non-conditional payment and the remainder goes into your conditional-payments fund that you get in the form of mission bonuses, tax refunds, and equipment draw. Because of the strategic importance of the seals, the Tower is bearing the costs of these payments instead of the seller as would be normal. The intent is to maintain the incentive structure for people to sell them without bankrupting the Tower.
- You are gearing up for salt production but there is no actual revenue from that yet.
+1 XP if someone figures out how many skywalkers are being made per month.
Economics
The following questions are from the wiki and player-suggested answers
Economic Questions
Q: Salt production rates, sale price, and other major factors in the enterprise.
A: Depends on how many salterns you have in place. Relevant facts:
- Normal price for salt is 650 ryō per kilogram. It varies, but that's a reasonable average under current market conditions.
- Salt production rate is roughly 2kg/day per 10'x10' saltern as per @Inferno_Vulpix's post.
- There will be a 15% fee paid to the distributor per sale.
- There will be a 50%
bribe processing fee paid to the Merchant Council per sale, in order to keep them from hassling you your sales permits in good order. This will obviously be on the gross, not the net of fees.
- Total income for the day is therefore: 2 kg/saltern/day * 650 R/kg = 1300 R/saltern/day - (1300R * 0.15) - (1300R * 0.5) = 455 R/saltern/day
- These numbers are based off natural evaporation and assume optimal conditions; actual income will depend on evaporation conditions (weather, animal attack on salterns, etc). If Akane gets involved then the cost of her time must be factored in.
