Medalion of The Phoenix (or of ressurection)-
Exempts your from having to goto the death relm upon dying instead ressurects you in the city stripped of one equipped item that you were killed with.
Extremely rare not able to b e crafted must be found on quest.

THE BOW OF GAAL\'DARON- This legendary bow was made for the Dermorians\' leader, Gaal\'Daron. THERE IS ONLY ONE, AND ONLY DERMORIANS CAN USE THIS.
His awesome power and and his kindness was \"transferred\" into the bow when he passed on to the next world.
While it sat in his tomb, a well renowned thief, Lasnoron, stole the bow for himself.
He then died later on, since his lack of elvish descent caused the bow to reject him. No one knows where his body lays...

ATTRIBUTES
-Because of its elvish descent, it has +20 damage when attacked from above.
-Gaal\'Daron was also swift in his wise actions, making the bow easier to reload.
-Its string is made of Gaal\'Daron\'s wife\'s hair, bound 127 times, the number of years old Gaal\'Daron was before he died.  This would make the wielder of this weapon +127 HP

Making stuff up is fun! :D

Yay! This thread is back to the top again! Well, kind of... Anyways, some more ideas.

Metallic Stones

Basically metal stones. These \'stones\' can be thrown or with a sling. These stones, due to being metal, have a small chance of knocking the target out. These stones are rather common, as amateur smtihers start out smithing these for practice.

Carrier Arrows

These arrows are arrows that can carry items with them. The larger and more magical an arrow is, the more items it can hold. You can scribble long notes on a note and fire it to someone when you have a really long message to say and the chat box won\'t be filled up. You can deliver items quickly and perhaps even save some clicks. These arrows, however, do not inflict any damage. They are simply \'carrier pigeons\' that send messages and items over to another person. Plus, they fly over walls. These arrows are not common, yet aren\'t rare.

Hyper Knife A dagger with use as both a meelee weapon and a throwing blade.  As a meelee weapon it has very fast attack.  As a throwing weapon, it travels incredibly fast.

Red Katana A red-colored katana with a searing hot blade. Is of the Red element.  Looks like a red streak when swung quickly.

No good ideas yet.

It\'s back on top thnx to ME... ya thanx... hold ur applause.
Anyway, here\'s one more suggestion.

THELIAN\'S SWORD- Thelian was a young lad when he discovered this sword in a field in his backyard. His devotion to learning how to wield it grew with this sword, making its wielder\'s WILL level get higher.

-While this sword is equipped, your level will gain x2 (or x1.5) faster
-Again, there is only one, but if you find a \"copy\" you can sell it to the first sucker you find if you have something better.

Two-handed sword , notably called \"Flamberge\"
Wielded by the biggest, burliest and sometimes most flamboyant mercenary troops of Switzerland and Germany...Massive two-hand swords were used to break the opposing army\'s front line... Carried by selected soldiers the two-hander would be rushed forward to break the heads off the enemy\'s pikes...Hand forged, superbly tempered blade, is complemented by a grip and ricasso covered in leather. Now with this little bit of history dead and gone, the way i see it, you can\'t have a good rpg without the ol 2h...Acuracy as well as power, it over whelms the Dwarven War Axe, Elven Mithral Long Sword , Orcish Double Battle Axe and so-on-and-so-forth...The reason the name \"Flamberge\"  has been choosen for this monstrosity of a weapon is for the fact that the blade is in an S or wavy shape...hence the name \"Flameberge\"
Average specs:
Overall-63 inches
Blade-46 inches long
1 7/8 inches wide
Wt.-6 lbs. 4 oz.
If you wish to know more about this and many other weapons Give me a shout at Stingerxl@lycos.com

What does the word \"Flameberge\" have to do with an \"S\" shape?

I\'d just like to see some of this stuff in a game.  If it\'s too hard to code, oh well.


Signet Ring

A ring worn by a noble ( or someone who could afford it) in order to prove his identity.  Interesting idea for patterned seals comes to mind.  See Animal Crossing for ideas on pattern creation. Uncommon to Rare.  Made with wood/stone/metalworking.

Fake Signet Ring

A ring a scoundrel might produce by taking a waxed imprint of a ring, making a mould, making a mould of that mold, then casting the ring.  Would be useful in intrigue plots.  Would require high intelligence or agility to create (or tradeskills based on those attributes).

Slaver Cuffs

See Morrowind cept add your own twist.  Make them only usable on a PC by GM.  These could be a punishment system for bad acts.  Uncommon.  Made with metal/stoneworking.

Lockpick
To get into places other people don\'t want you to get to.
Or to retrieve items others want to protect.  Certain restrictions would need to be placed on this item so it could not be exploited.  Uncommon to Rare depending on need/use.  Made with metalworking and honed with weaponsmithing.  Law abiding citizens will probably not help you make this item.

Signal Whistle
For when you just don\'t wanna move/leave that hiding place but you want your ambush to go off right now.  Would emit a high pitched (maybe birdlike) noise.  Uncommon.  Made with metal/wood/stone?working

Rope
How all these other MMOGs forgot this I\'ll never know.  This has many many uses.  Could be tradeskill item for catching rabbits/squirrels.  Could be a way to climb trees or buildings.  Add grappling hook to make really interesting.  Could also be made into a fishing net to catch fish.  Could also replace ship\'s mooring if a line broke.  Horribly common.  Rope is soo cool!!  :D Rope would be made with weaving or leatherworking.

Marking Chalk
Something to help others figure out which way you went without having to sniff the ground.  Also something to mislead others when you don\'t want to be found.  Also could be used in creation of decorative items or in magical rituals.  Common to Uncommon, depending on need/use.  Made with stoneworking.  Low skill required to make.

Polished Amber Collar
For when you want to look stylish and protect yourself too.  This collar would be worn on the neck and  would help protect your head.  Would have either an affinity or an emnity with treefolk.  Would also help protect against some elemental attacks.  Rare. Jewelry crafting.

Cloak of Leaves/Grass/Marble
Other methods of concealment without having that complete invisibilty tick.  Maybe makes your name not show unless someone clicks on you.  High weaving/leatherworking skill to make an effective one.  Very Rare. (especially the stone cloak)

Mica Bow
A light longbow capable of being worn and used by even the weakest of characters.  Very fragile and prone to breaking if handled without extreme care.  A good way to be able to fire ballistically.  Perhaps some other gems might have the right qualities for the bending and shaping of a bow.  Rare.  Good masonry skill and some weaponsmithing to be able to create one.

Rapier
A weapon more for style than for damage potential.  When mastered it becomes dangerous.

Mushroom Salve
This nifty little item cures some hp just by putting it on your wounds.  (Must cut down time  :D )  Common.  Not as good as a healing potion.

Glow Rock
Sometimes even magical light can\'t reach everywhere.  That\'s when you carry one of these.  It\'s a torch.  Common to Uncommon, depending on need.

Null Sword
Just a sword that\'s completely devoid of magic.  In fact, if you get a hit off with it, you might temporarily knock out some of the magic effects your opponent has.  Or maybe damage his magic reserve.  Very Rare.

Null Ring
A ring, that when used, removes hostile magic cast on you.  It could also be a magic barrier that would knock off some magic damage.  Very rare.

Tuning Fork
To maintain instruments.  May also be very dangerous in certain areas.  Unsure as to if this even has bearing on the game.   :P

Musical Instruments
These are here for atmosphere and as alternative ways of making money.  They could be interfaced with a keyboard with the proper parameters.  Uncommon to Rare.  Made with metal/stone/wood/leather/clothworking.  Could also be imbued with magical affects to calm, enrage, confuse, or drain targets.

Ways to code would be to include all the chromatic notes (or certain ones if all remove from the mood of the game) and hold note buttons and breathe(no sound) buttons.  Would add a lot of fun to the game.  Especially with macros so a performer doesn\'t have to be musically inclined.

Divining Rod
In case you don\'t have a friend who can tell good rocks from bad ones, this rod\'s for you.  Use it to tell if you\'re at a good place to start mining or not.  Created with a rod and certain magics.  Uncommon to Rare.

If I think of any more I\'ll be sure to post em.

Hey, its me again, saving the thread from becoming part of the bottom of the barrel.

GUISHNU (pronounced gwee-shnoo) SCROLL-This ancient scroll teaches a deadly form of hand-to-hand fighting in which the learner would make all of his fingers touch each other, while striking with the ball of the wrist.  

-When the scroll was first found, it was immediately recopied, since that it\'s original was too fragile to even be dared to move.  The founders of the scroll started a business of simply copying the scroll 100 times a day, and then selling them to a magic shop.  These are extremely common...for the right price.
-When learned, the fighter will assume the form and attack with great speed, power, and correct use of body mechanics.

(something I learned in Kung Fu)

Enkidukai stuff
« Reply #54 on: November 08, 2002, 05:58:20 pm »
Brass knuckles

basically a piece of brass molded to fit Enkidukai hands (or paws) do normal damage but can be worn while carrying a sword/sheild etc...

Spiked brass knuckles

brass knuckles with spikes that to higher damage and can also be worn while carrying swords/sheilds etc...

Dagger of blight

a small slightly curved dagger with a gemstone blade that melts whatever it strikes--very rare and requires an Enkidukai craftsman to make



well thats all i can think of it\'d be cool to see them in the game

Gaunlets
« Reply #57 on: November 13, 2002, 02:31:25 pm »
has anyone thought of coming up with \"Gaunlet\" items?
kinda like gloves but armored. And hammers.
Someone come up with more hammer like Stone hammer. Or something like
\"Wraith of God\" or something. A huge hammer that is soo heavy, only the strongest can use. maybe only gods can use it. It has lighting capabilities.
(sounds too much like Thor\'s hammer lol)

Practice Sword:  Made of wood, doesn\'t hurtnso you can practice with someone without getting peggeed for murder.
Kran Shavings Okay this idea is stupid, but here goes. When a Kran fights and gets hit considerably, chunks of rock break of that can be used in slingshots or something. So if a human fought along with a Kran it would be like symbiosis. Thinking of ammo.
Malice Blade A sword that can only be used by that Demon race. Since they can\'t stand blessed things this one is cursed.

   Not exactly the most inspired ideas, but worth a thought.

Feline Slayer: A sword. Normally it does the damage of a sword. If you use it against the Enkidukai it\'s unstopable. Crafted by a mage from a normal sword, this sword contains a lot of the water element. Cats generally hate water, and this sword will plant it into their skin. The Enkidukai needs to be treated with the right medicines or spells, or wait for the effects to wear off. Not very common, but gettable. I guess Nolthrir mages wpuld be good at making this one.

Fungal disk: A shuriekin style disk specially made to encourage fungal growth. Does little damage itself. You can put any type of fungus into this so it can heal and kill. Not uncommon you need to get the fungi before you can put them in, and the disk cannot not be stored in your inventory while fungus is growing on it unless you aqiure a special cover.

Aerial Kite: A kite that you can throw out behind your slef while flying. Helps stabilize you during airborne combat and during tight turns. Doesn\'t require too much skill to make, but doesn\'t last long. Good for inexperience flyiers who may fall off during tough situations such as combat, tight turns or heavy loads. Experienced flyers with good beasts will prefer to go without it as it can slow you down limits your arsenal of moves. Think of training weels on a bike.

Lichen joining glove: A glove made of lichen for the Krans. If a Kran hits his opponent well with his fist his opponent will be molded to the kran. The kran can then use him as a fist or a throwing weapon. I dunno how this one would be crafted. I suggest that they be allowed only beyond the bronze gates and banned anywhere in Ilyakum including the arena.
