* For Storyteller assistance with roleplay experiences, including interacting with NPCs or receiving assistance staging an event, Admin reserve the right to adjust pricing based on the scale and scope of effort required. This value is presented as a general guideline to help you plan your request. 

If your request is appropriate for requiring commodities as payment, Admin will be in touch to review as a one-off since the charge will be directly related to the type of request. 

For changes to an item's description / non-decay status, or resetting status, please see HELP ITEMCUST. 

For more details about how to submit an RP request for yourself or your org, check out HELP RP REQUESTS.


Making Your Payment 
------------------
Requests may require costs depending on the nature of the request, including marks, credits, or specific comms. Costs can be viewed using REQUEST <id> [SHOW] and can be paid using REQUEST <id> PAY. 

In the case of comms:
- For personal requests, they must be located in personal storage at your home station.
- For Faction requests, they must be located in the org's storage at their home station (either the Faction's home station, or the home station of the player entering the command). 

In the case of credits:
- They must either be bound to the player entering the command; or 
- In the case of Faction requests, must be located in the Faction's credit account. 

In the case of marks:
- They must be in the account of the player or org whose request it is.

Remember that although the request itself is done OOC, your costs are IC and it's up to you/your org to roleplay this as/if appropriate. If it's an item like a monument for a Faction, the construction company might quote a fee, or maybe an NPC band would charge an appearance fee etc. This could be in credits or marks, and once your request is submitted, an Admin will contact you to discuss appropriate payment, which will then be added to the request on approval.
