See arcanias with a golden or agapite axe runing to you in a dungeon is terrible... imagine this guy running around with a valorite axe...
Would a “no man made” be a middle ground that could be agreed upon? Only traditionally sourced & farmed weapons or event weapons (pink bows, green maces, red katanas would complete many an outfit and throw a rocket into the sales forum) nothing with a GM tag, so no runics.....be a happy medium? IF they came with a HUGE price tag - in copper. Which in turn would create a huge boost in farming and activity to collect more trash. Cause if we could agree on a middle ground and asked for it we’d have a FUCKKKK of a lot more chance at actually implementing a change here. It’s not an unreasonable request or a new coding/artwork request like asking for rainbow roller skates as an alternative to horses.....
i am a complete noob here, but i dont understand the fact the people wont take out their "perfect"slayers Whats the point in even having them if you cant enjoy them? I know its a risk, but if i had it just in the bank just to look at, id get bored faster. The repond and Elf slayers can be used in instances, so those are safe, but the silver vanqs, if you wanna use a dexer to LLs or something, use em. sure you could get PKd.
The problem is the cost of the weapons. If you spend 300k-1 million on a weapon, you aren't gonna use it in LL. I couldn't care any less about forcing blessed weapons to be exclusive to factions. Nobody plays factions. The glory days of a population that supports fun and diverse faction play are long gone. I think it's a waste of time to try to breath life into a dead aspect of the game. I agree that having blessed Valorite runics would be awful. Having the ability to actually use high end slayers outside of instances would be great. I like the idea of no player made weapons being eligible. Bless a great vanq weapon or a slayer. High copper cost, lots of farming. Would get peeps out into the world. I like it.
I agree with earnshot thing. Those colored ones like that green mace, a drop in the last easter. Like ranger armour... phoenix... more comestic but with a little level of functionality. By the way, we could be able to bless a a decaying bone set and those other halowen and daemon armours. Anyway in a 7 year old shard, any radical change could affect too much the playability...
what about a (very hard) quest to get ONE weapon bless "topped up"? i dont understand why tamers can have their own quest and we dexxers cant.....
Drop bandage timers for dexxers would balance things abit. Currently 80 Dex gives u a bandiheal every 10s Adopt current UO meta and drop it to 7s at 80 Dex and 6s at 100 Dex Should help plenty.
I like the idea of blessed slayers. Make them lose durability twice as fast, so that they're expensive to keep using.
