Unless the item is indestructible...

I generally don\'t like the idea that my hard worked for armor would just dissapear into thin air, or crumble in the middle of nowhere miles from the nearest smithy.. And personally I don\'t care if it isn\'t realistic if your stuff doesn\'t break...

Well maybe it\'ll be like in TES3 where the armor just becomes unusable untill you get it fixed. I don\'t like the idea that such weak metals as iron and bronze couldn\'t get damaged after being severely beaten by the heavy spiked club of a giant ogre.

i was talking about an extra bonus independent from your skill with a weapon type, only dependant on the time you used a weapon.

Lets say you have a sword. You have used that sword since a year, lets call it \"Oldy\". Then you buy a second sword with the same statistics, lets call it \"Newy\". When using \"Oldy\" you get a bonus, if using \"Newy\" you dont get that bonus. Its a bonus for using a certain weapon for a long time and staying with it. This is completely independant of your skill-level.

This removes some of the pressure to get a new weapon with better stats.

Make sense to me. Although not commonly used, I\'ve seen this before. A warrior works better with a weapon he\'s used lots before, because he knows all the weapons faults and strengths.

How about only enchanted items grow. Like say you get a Dagger that has a small enchantment of 2 fire dmg on strike (Morrowind!). The weapon its self continues to wear and break like a normal weapon, but the soul grows and becomes more powerful. So now you have a crapy dagger, that has like 30 fire dmg, so you could get the weapon ugraded. I dont think that the weapon itself should grow, that is just metal, but the soul of an enchanted weapon should grow.

Yeah and a little fairy that guides us on our path sry jk.  But, I agree with mogura(not about th sig though...I will always hate u for that). Yeah, anyways the way he puts it I get more money cause Ill be fixing weapons all the time.  And more money=better equipment=more money=yeah so on and so on...oh look I forgive you mogura that was a short always :p

Idea is interesting.

Something cool would be that after lots of use, an icon appear to say you can upgrade your weapon, simply because, if you\'ve done it before, it would have been useless.
But the weapon is still degenerating.

It\'s THEORICALLY possible to change the appearance of the weapon. But if it\'s only for fun and take too much ram, will not be interesting.

Yeah I guess I\'ll have to agree *sigh* But my idea did branch off into something cool!!!
