Blacksmith and job recognition

[ForteX]

well, I believe as all the blacksmith-wannabe that the BS should have some way to make people know that it is theirs job, they forged that weapon, even because, people can look for \'em later, for other forges. What about putting your name into the armor/weapon/whatever? Like, you have \"something\" written on the side, blade, dunno, whatever you want. When a person checks the weapon/armor/whatever status/atributes, it will appear \"Forged by $BlacksmithName\". That way, people will got to know who is good at what and the Blacksmiths will have the deserved recognition. Thanks for listening =)

Intresting that could be done quite easily..... you could examine the sword carefully and find etched on the blade some where the name of the black smith

[Vengeance]

We do plan to implement this, both for crafters and guilds of crafters.

[ForteX]

Glad to hear that ^^
After all, seeing that PS will be so huge, the BS will need some recognition, otherwise, they will eat ores lol XD

[Waylander]

Yeah but it shouldnt just be limited to the name u should be able to make a different little phrase for your favorite ones like \'prob gona be rammed through ur chest courtesy of $Blacksmithsname\'

[I3lack Templar]

Or, How bout Weapon NAMES. it would be cool to name ur weapon like in all those fantasy books

*Couph* Lotr *Couph*

[Waylander]

Oh yeah wicked idea templar get ready for Cadoras\' Crazymonkey crossbow to shoot an arrow in your back

[ForteX]

Changing a weapon name is not a good idea, especially if you are looking for a weapon not sold in shops, only forged, and the BS changes it name to \"Monkey KickA$$ BoneSword\" when it is actually a steel with zircon sword. I think the \"name changes\" of the weapon should keep the weapon original name, something like that:
\"$BS name to the weapon + $weapon real name\"
So it would look like that
\"Strong Silver Crossbow\". Although the idea of naming a weapon doesn\'t sound that great, will confuse players and enable easy scams.

[I3lack Templar]

No no, thats not what i meant, dont change the sword types name, but actualy GIVE it a name, Like Pigsticker the great sword or whatever.


Edit: Ok ok bad name for an example, how bout like, TrollBane or something like that if you like beating up on trolls all day

[ForteX]

I see.
But I still think that there will be people giving the most weird and nonsense names for the weapons, like \"The Fire Flying Pig killer bastard sword\". not sure about this idea...

the peanut thing is a board thing, it was supossed to be b@stard ;-)

[Xandria]

I\'ve always wanted to fight with a peanut sword  

At least you wouldn\'t go hungry on those long adventures...

[Waylander]

I agree ppl are idiots, but I think this could still work I dont care about ppl naming their swords stupid names itll just mean all the serious players will come to me for weapons named \'wishbone the mighty steel sword\' or \'Slayer the double crossbow\'.  Well the second is mine but heh the other one u can have

[Zakynthos]

There could be a rather extensive (and automatic) naming database for weapons built-in to the game itself, for example:

Zakynthos strolls over to the local blacksmith guild hall and purchases a Steel Short Sword.

-- When you examine the sword, I\'m not sure how the planned system would work but, lets say its something like this --

Weapon name: A Steel Short Sword

Weapon type: (Give away in this case) Sword

Weapon Myth: This is just a plain everyday weapon.

Weapon [whatever other statistics are displayed]

-- The weapon myth would be in essence the weapons \'experience.\'  For instance:

Zakynthos heads over to the Troll Marsh to begin training, during his tiring adventure he slays over one hundred trolls!  His weapon becomes permanently stained with troll blood.

Weapon name: A Steel Short Sword Named \'TrollBane\'

Weapon type: Sword

Weapon Myth: This sword is etched with troll blood.  It is clear that many of these beasts have been felled to this blade.

-- There could be special attributes that come along with these unique names, but it could just be for fun, but as an example, once your weapon becomes a TrollBane, you could have 20% increased physical damage against Troll races when you hit them with the sword --

-- Uh oh, what if I don\'t want my fancy spectacular Trollbane anymore, and I want a different name. --

Naturally the name shouldn\'t be able to evolve for multiple things, example:

A Steel Short Sword Named \'Greater Slayer of TrollBane ElfBane Flying Orcbane JubJub Power\'

However, it could continue to evolve in its specific stream, so if I continue slaying trolls with my TrollBane, lets say I\'ve killed 500 trolls now.

Weapon name: A Steel Short Sword Named \'Doom of Trolls\'

Weapon myth: The blade has slain more trolls than you have ever seen in your life.  The blood on its edge has long stained and turned pitch black.  You can hear a slight humming sound eminating from the blade if you put your ear close to it.

20% increased physical damage against Trolls
+5 dark energy damage against Trolls?
(The attributes don\'t have to be added, just an extra idea.)

-- The biggest point is that the root of the weapon should stay intact, and the weapon naming is controlled.  I mean, once a system is set up, developers could add thousands of different names into it.  You could even have a section on the website where players could donate names.

I\'ve rambled on here for long enough, thanks to anyone who listened.

Cool idea cant wait to get my double bow \"Zakynthos bane\"  

[Zakynthos]

Haha, I can\'t wait to get my Warhammer Named \'GroinBane.\'

No children for you.
