Mystic Item

[Taleroth]

Was thinking about this idea and Dav told me it was once mentioned. It is also related to a post that Dav once made.

As for now, just checking to see how others feel about this. The basic idea beside this is crafting of weapons like an example:

A pre-requirement quest is needed here before you can start crafting items in Mystic's Tower lwhere a mysterious blacksmith will tell you to seek some metals and give it to him. In return maybe some experience or gold or even both for completing the quest?

A Mystical Kris

After that you may start crafting weapons, not only the kris but other weapons as well.

And this is what interest me the most maybe. There is a way to 'upgrade' the weapon.

A Mystical Kris -----> 'Varendar', the Kris of Lost?
(Just a random name since I had not really think out the full plan yet)

However there will be a change that crafting it to a rare item will result in a failure maybe considering your luck status and also the percentage behind the weapon's success/fail rate.

Also since if this gonna be a rare item, there is also maybe a gold required fee and materials gathered from certain high level mobs in the game currently.

Also considering that since it is a rare item crafted from the Mystic's blacksmith. The weapon will have a magical effect as in like this:

You wield 'Varendar', the Kris of Lost
The weapon feels like a part of you.

Your icy bite grazes a rabbit.

or like this:

You wield 'Varendar', the Kris of Lost
The weapon feels like a part of you.

Your stab grazes a rabbit.
'Varendar', the Kris of Lost glows with a icy blue aura momentarily.
Your icicle scratches a rabbit.

Just open for discussion and what you guys think.

Could be used to link Mystics with Keepers. Sounds pretty good, but I think it would need restriction to a cabal (Keepers) so that forging past the Void doesn't become obsolete.

Sounds like a plan to me but you should be able to choose what weapons you make and what damage that would help gameplay alot.

And autobash.

We need autobash.

Right... I like the idea. The quest shouldn't be easy at all in my opinion, if thats how you want to go about it, but at the same time, it should have to be repeated for each time you want to get something magically enhanced like that possibly... Also, it should kind of be random or, yeah, it should depend on the materials you have to gather. Maybe not be too straightforward with it either, and make it almost puzzling to have to make. Well, I had more ideas/opinions on that, but I am really tired and cant think straight so Yeah, there ya go.

I already began asking for weapon ideas for this concept a month ago. If enough decent responses were given I'd have gotten somewhere with it. Personally I blame the recent posts thing for diverting attention away from all our forums..

IMO, let's bump this thread and keep it up for more ideas and reviews.

[Davairus]

Why dont you throw me a spoofed log so I can see what you're saying. I just want to see the process you had in mind clearly.

[Mendek]

Yeah, I can't post there either... and d00d, I had an idea like 2 seconds ago.

[Elaedon]

I think it's a great idea, it wouldn't really make a difference in pking but it would in rping.

Alright, I had actually let this topic went down for nearly half a year. This is what I had thought for the weapon crafting thing.

The very basic first thing that you need is a normal weapon first. Mithril sword, adamantite mace and etc are considered in this scenario. From here, you can go and search for the blacksmith or enchanter in the Ivory Tower.

This will tigger a quest that he will say something about the weapon you are wearing/equipping or in inventory. He will mention that he can make a better weapon than what you have for a small fee. Let's say around 500 gold. After you gave 500 gold to him/her, he will ask you to gather materials. Around 2-3 items are needed here and he will mention only 1 item at a time which mean trips to all over AR.

Most likely that the items needed are in a fixed list. Meaning to say each time you crafted a weapon, the materials needed are the same. As for the weapons effect, it is mentioned in earlier post. Undecided yet if scenario A or scenario B will be taken.

Still this post is open for suggestions and ideas, should you have any.
