Fancy Hand Fans!

And apparently, like Starr just mentioned, the fan emote is teachable! I didn't know that! Cool, eh?

 

Your designs are truly beautiful! Nice work.

 

I love the ornate ones. Great Job. Thank you.

 

Hey there!

As a quick addendum (which I also added to the initial post at the top), and to disambiguate and clarify the situation, I was also tasked to create a special, separate fan for the sake of those who helped us achieve that particular goal for the telethon! Originally I had assumed that the more rustic “craft-able” version I made first was ALSO meant to be the telethon goal fan,…but as it turns out, it makes more sense to have a fancier telethon version, while allowing those who wish to learn the basic “fan emote” (from willing telethon participants and their students) to craft their own fans with a recipe that makes the rustic woven-straw version you’ve already seen!

The fan created exclusively for the telethon recipients is of a similar woven straw design, but with a darkly-painted interior adorned with a striking silver weave over a tan base! Here’s what it looks like!



Those who received the fan emote through the telethon will have access to both this special fan as well as the basic rustic straw version, and can teach this emote to others in-game. These avid pupils will be able to craft the simple straw fan for themselves in turn… Fun!

Hopefully that explains things! Sorry for any confusion I may have caused in my excitement to post these images. I just love these kinds of little world details, and wanted to share!

Yea, I always thought it would be a fun idea if random NPC showed up from time to time at the docks, or in the taverns, in some towns, whether traders, or hirelings, or quest-givers, or other visitors; and the traders would offer in some cases rare items from foreign lands.

At any rate,

Dev+ worthy content! Congratulations!

 

Hey @Scottie - the fan emote still isn't teachable, can someone fix this for us? Went and bought the fans from addon store but nobody is able to teach the emote :/

 

Oh!!! I'll have to check on this! Essentially, the "teach-ability" of any emote is merely a setting on our end...so I'm surprised it's not working now... I'll ask those who flip the switches on those things what's up with that, and let you folks know!

Awesome, thanks a ton

 

Please report issues like this in bug forums. But I have entered this bug for you in the meantime

 

Thanks, Net reported this in the bugs forum ages ago btw.

 

Would be nice if these were placeable as deco too, hopefully that will come in the future with gear being placeable?

 

That's the plan! The code for that is apparently already there, and for many of these kinds of items there is separate decorate-able art waiting in the wings (separate from the equip-able model, which has to have a different pivot point to attach to the character)... Once we have the chance, we'll start hooking these together so that, to the player, it's a seamless system! ^_^

 

Awesome! Super excited thanks @Scottie
