Summary
Players will now come across unique and rare Paintings in Outlands in a handful of systems
The most likely source of Paintings will be as loot from Trade Caravans, but they will also very rarely occur as normal loot in other systems that generate rare items
Painting Frames
Paintings come in three sizes and corresponding rarities: Portrait (Common), Landscape (Uncommon), and Large (Rare)
There are three types of Frames available for each size/rarity of Painting: Thin, Textured, and Deluxe
Players can use the Carpentry skill to craft Painting Frames, which can be placed in a house and positioned (using the house Interior Decorator tools) to "frame" in the same location as a Painting
Paintings are considered Antiquities, and three new Antiquity categories have been created for them:
Portrait Paintings
Landscape Paintings
Large Paintings
Players can use an Antiquity Manifest (craftable with Inscription) to "Register" Paintings in the same manner as players can register and claim credit for Antiquities
Players can navigate through the different Painting categories in an Antiquity Manfiest and see all of the possible Paintings available and how many players have registered it so far, who the first person on the server was to Register each one, and whether the player themselves has registered an instance of that specific Painting
Players will earn Achievement Points for registering paintings of each size/rarity similar to earning achievements for normal Antiquities
