[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 56093, member: 284"] The current version does use levitate on both beanstalks. The cost is the same, and that way only one type of ring section needs to be made. If I made the down beanstalk use feather fall, you would reach the ground three times as fast (about 1.5 days insead of 4.4), because feather fall lowers at a rate of 60' a round as opposed to 20' per round for levitate. I'm also assuming that since it's a continous magic item, it only needs a person to set the direction once it's activated. After that it automatically affects everything that comes within reach. Now that I think about it, these items probably qualify for the 30% discount because of their limitations, which would drop the price significantly. I envision a a set of tracks leading into the bottom ring, with cars constantly moving cargo in. The cargo is clamped to the cars, and then released once they are centered in the ring. The cars are connected to the tracks, and won't be lifted. That way you can keep a pretty much constant flow of cargo. (Cars go in one side, release, go out the other side, and have more cargo loaded on as they follow the track around to the entrance again.) [/QUOTE]
