a while ago I had an Idea for crafting equipment, or at least making blueprints.  First you would buy a blueprint sheet from Harnquist.  After opening the blueprint sheet you would have an Inventory of possible parts divided into categorys, such as handle, hilt, blade, and any other parts belonging to the specific type of equipment you are working on, which you would choose somewhere on the blueprint, depending on the equipment type you would have a number of slots with word labels on them, you would select a part from each category available, and name your weapon in a writable label on the blueprint, after saving the blueprint, to make thee weapon you would need to craft all the parts for that item, and then put them together on an assembly table.

this would not be extremely heavy on the servers as far as I know, because all the parts could be saved in a system of variables, such as
handle = 12
gaurd = 9
blade = 4
name$ = "Elven Warblade"

I am not sure how the current Item creation system works, but I personnaly think this is  a good idea.

A simple thread to see whatever winter traditions Yliakum and its inhabitants may have.

   Samno walked across the open market, sweet delicacies stood in a line in the bakers window.  Songs could be heard in the distance, and everyone seemed just a little happier. He hurried into his house, humming a simple tune to himself.
