Late. Tamer's day.
Lesson 553: The Value of Antiques
I can't do it again ~
Moo
It's been an hour since I started looking for antiques. I've already bought 30 of them, but they never let go of my antique knowledge.
I don't think you've been able to get more than double the value of the item.
Besides, there are some items that don't look like antiques.
Mu?
Yeah, I guess so.
The same goes for the doll that Ort is holding right now. It's not the type that seems to be worthwhile, like a Japanese figure, a Western doll, or a teddy bear.
More like a souvenir? It is a wooden doll that is likely to be sold in Bali, and it is a red stick-style figurine that does not move its neck.
Besides that, there were quite a few items that I didn't know I could put in antiques, such as totem pole-style masks and giant but half-broken seashells.
Why would you buy something like that? Well, that's because my kids wanted it. After that, I thought I'd try to attack from somewhat unusual places.
"Do you have to change your mind if you can't buy this much?"
I don't know if I saw it anyway, so I chose it by luck. But if you take a closer look, you'll know if it's worth a fortune, won't you?
Thinking about it, I decided to choose more antiques.
I will go back to the store where I bought the kettle just now and have them show me other products. This is troubling again.
If you take a closer look at them, they all look suspicious. For example, porcelain with pictures. This looks like a copy if the painting is beautiful, and even the bad guy doesn't see it as worth it.
Hmmm.
Holding the porcelain dish in my hand, I casually looked at the back and noticed that there was a strange mark painted with blue pigment.
It is a mark with a cross on the kite shield. Speaking of which, the appraiser was watching the back of the show to appraise the antiques.
Baked goods, high ground or something like that? Anyway, I didn't mean to look here at all.
When I checked the products I bought again, they all had marks and names on them. Probably represents the workshop. Well, that doesn't make sense.
But when I looked at the antiques to see if they could be a clue, I saw an announcement to level up my abilities.
It was my decryption skills that got me up. Apparently, reading the motto of the antiques had improved my proficiency. It was surprisingly easy to level up my deciphering skills, as I could experience just looking at the town signs.
Now we're at level 10.
Then I realized a change that had happened to me.
"I think I can read it."
I thought it was a strange mark, but it seemed to be the lettering of this world. At some point, the visible marks were changing subtly.
If your deciphering skills are low, your vision is limited. Isn't this important for your decryption skills in the future?
I might need it to solve some kind of puzzle. I'm glad you got it, Sawyer, thanks for recommending the Magic Book!
Increase the level of your handwriting so that you can get the Demon Book skill. That's the best thing you can do for Sawyer.
"Well, you have to decipher it first." Ort, please take turns handing me the antiques around here. "
Mm!
Let's start with the kettle.
When I checked the inscription, I found out a few things.
First of all, there was a motto that I could not read even if I had the deciphering skills. I don't know whether this is because the design only contains no letters or because the skill level is not enough.
However, considering that it was a cheap product, I think the latter is unlikely.
Porcelain is the name of the workshop. It seems that the baked goods and dolls have the author's name written on them.
The work of authors and workshops around here is cheap, so you don't have to buy it in the future.
That's how I sorted out the information, and then I rushed back to the bazaar. While flowing through the stalls, they pick out only unknown marks and inscriptions and buy them.
That's the fifth way to buy antiques. Finally, I heard the announcement I had been waiting for.
Antique knowledge was unleashed. I'll get that skill right away.
"Huh. I see."
New information has been added to the appraisal. For finer value, the name of the producer or production workshop. The rest is old-fashioned.
However, because the level of antique knowledge is still low, the information is out of the question. It's generally worth it, and there are many things that the maker is not sure about. Old, very old, a little old, modern, etc., were notations that were difficult to judge.
Well, if you level up in the future, you might be able to get unexpected excavations and more. Let's raise it in a bazaar or something.
“Hmm. Is it worth as much as plummy zero?”
When I looked at the antiques I had bought so far, I could see that some of them were gaining, others were losing. I bought it for 1000G and it was even worth 100g.
However, since we made a profit at the end, it would be about a ton in the end.
"So, the most valuable is the work of this workshop." Dube Workshop? "
Himu?
Interested after all?
Him!
It is a decorative dish with a beautiful painting on porcelain. Is it a sight of farm work?
Himuka patted the plate and observed it. Apparently, the price has risen from the scarcity that is no longer made, rather than being good at making it.
It seems that this plate bought in 2000g is also worth 15000G. The dishes in this workshop are so beautiful, let's collect them.
