I like the idea of giving everyone access to Bhakorus! If they aren't for free I wouldn't want them to be too expensive though.
I'm all for this, including what , and said.
Definitely support an option for newer players to get Bhakorus without having to go through other players.
I could see a new NPC guarding the entrance to the crystal room (he could totally be hired by Blake, or maybe just part of the Saheric 'historical protection society' or something). If you completed the plot, you get free entry. If you didn't, you can bribe him? Or 'buy a pass' (which could be simply paying him or could be an actual item through the antique shop)? I kinda like the pass thing, since it could be like a museum entry ticket and could make for cute TC item.
That said, I wouldn't be against elixirs either. Though, Subeta would have to decide the price they want elixirs to be. A while back, they bought up elixirs because they were too cheap... but now the prices are kinda all over the place (some 20k, some close to 1 mil). That makes it a bit hard for pricing, while still being reasonable since there is the crystal.
I've always kinda liked Bhakoru and it's sad there are so few around, so support.
(And while we are at it: Bhakoru lifelike dolls pretty please)

everything lifelike dolls please i mean what
I'd love to see this happen. :) I mean if items are being put in the antique shop at a premium price then why not something that changes your pet into a bhakoru if they were also the prize? How exclusive can a pet be if people can still create them for others (assuming that's how it works)?
I like the idea of having someone maybe move into that room that lets people who completed the plot through free, but charges newer users who didn't participate a small fee to change a bhakoru.

Aw yeah
The art for that plot was amazing, and I am all for making a way for everyone to have access to it, and to create their own bhakorus :) We'll have a think about the wording/mechanics of it!
AMAZING! I'm also loving the idea of a guard to the temple, so who took part in the plot can create for free and who didn't can pay a fee to create or transform a pet into a Bhakoru.
I guess 7.510m for creating a Bhakoru would be fine, and 1015m to transform as well...
[edit]Better than creating an item to add to the ANTIQUE shop. Since the item isn't antique, I don't see a lot of sense...
The right to create a Bhakoru def. qualifies as an antique.
Yes, definitely, but I think the idea of antique shop is to sell antique items that were sold anywhere before being moved to AS.
Honestly? I'd like to see the antique shop to be more than for items, and having boons/privileges sold there in item form is more interesting to me.
I'd sink dozens of millions in an item to turn a pet into a Bhakoru, if the art was pretty enough. And, I'd trust bean with my life, concerning item art quality. That's not even a worry of mine, she probably is my favorite artist on site.
But, I'd sink absolutely nothing into turning pets into Bhakorus via the crystal, because I completed the plot. Even if I wanted to sink money there by creating Bhakorus for people, I can't
I'm not against an item to transform pets into Bhakorus, but that fits MC better, then... And at least a guard in the temple to charge who wants to create them and didn't participate in the plot (for a slightly cheaper fee than the elixir) would be cool...
Unless they're being sold somewhere actually in the Saheric lands, I think the Antique Shop is the most fitting.
OH HELL YES, if this is getting staff attention on PAGE 2, then I would say there is a strong chance this is being considered! I ABSOLUTELY support this idea! I completed the plot and occasionally (when I have the slot and GA) like to open a Bhakoru Transformation Service for users who didn't, but it can be tedious and expensive at times. It would be great to make the Bhakoru Crystal available to everyone!
IDEA FOR IF THERE WAS AN ITEM THAT CAN CHANGE PETS INTO BHAKORU it should be a piece or shard from the actual Bhakoru Crystal! The crystal is seriously beautiful so I can imagine an item themed off of it also being beautiful.
