The only way donations ever obtained anything special (privledges?) was during the findraisers when they were being run. Donating the computer equipment just helped the game make improvements- Thats what I have gotten outta the one or two little things I've donated, makes it easier to write new things for the game if Pete not having to spend all his time and effort making the hardware work/finding parts, etc.
The First houses,Special companions and custom character descriptions plus a few special alterations I suppose are what you would call privledges, but everyone had the same opportunity to purchase those during the fund raiser events- the last one of which ended many months ago.
Now as to carving difficulties I do have a list of the earlier items in order of difficulty if that helps. List follows:
In order of difficulty are vials,staffs,boxes,snakes,bracelets,anklets,mouse,rats,owls,canes,eagles,
ferrets,clubs.
I do know what Gorm did next was hawks,nightingale, then finally managed a pipe or two. After that he also did frogs ,cow ,bear ,lynx ,wolf ,panther ,tiger and I believe dog after the pipe but lost the order Gorm did em in. Daggers and swords came after most if not all of those and was where he was carving when skills were rewritten. Arrows,sheaths,rings,bowls,clogs, bracers and cross were also down in the easier levels, never recorded when i did those though. Sorry not more organized but its some referance for ya.
