<I think the happy medium would be to sell "reforging certificates" at a relatively low cost (25k-ish?) that would permit a blacksmith to attempt to turn a weapon into a perfect at the standard forging rate (10%?). A failure would mean no change to the weapon, but a success would turn it into a perfect. >

I like the thought process on this, even though I didn't think there'd be any ideas that would make me come around to being agreeable to this sort of thing.

Honestly, if there was only a standard chance of success at converting a weapon to a perfect, I wouldn't touch someone else's weapon with a 100 foot pole no matter how much they assured me they understood (and I certainly couldn't bring myself to charge for it). Instead, make two items, instead of one: one to allow a forging master to convert any old weapon into an elegant/well-made weapon and a second to let a master move the quality of a player-forged weapon up one level (well-made>superior>perfect, could even split this into 2 different items if they wanted to).

As far as price, 25k is about where you can easily sell an unmodified perfect of the rarest metal... so cost move a weapon from superior to perfect would have to be at that level or higher to prevent me from going into my lockers and converting the well-made/superior golvern/eonake/etc weapons I have stored there, flooding the market.

Starchitin, the OG

A severed gnomish hand crawls in on its fingertips and makes a rude gesture before quickly decaying and rotting into dust. A gust of wind quickly scatters the dust.

<You wouldn't do that if you only had a 10% chance to succeed though. The implied cost, with expected value is 250k.>


I don't care how far above 25k they were made, I'm just saying that I wouldn't wanna see it lower then that. With the types of weapons these are being requested for, the owners would pay whatever anyway....

And another Spellbound and/or HESS request: Curse-In-Your-Pocket. If you want to make it of limited utility, have it use ingredients (like the pylons, with elemental essences).

Casts one of each stance's Curse (for which you have an ingredient loaded), all at the same target.

.

OR, if it uses charges/X-per-day: Casts one of each stance's Curse that you have activated, using one charge apiece. (Comes with a BUNCH of charges... but also buttons/toggles/switches/settings that you can use to DE-activate some number of them. You MUST keep at least one [1] activated.)

Returner certificates!

1. Ensorcell Certificates
2. Perfect Forging Certificates
3. Race Fix

puncture, slash, and crush flares in HESS

<Scripted Jewelry/Accessory Swap Location (Looking at you supercharger neck worn jewelry)

Do you mean a cert that would allow you to add the morphing jewelry script to an existing item? If so, I would love this.

As someone who some times has a hard time tracking down Sorcerers to do Ensorcell work, I would welcome the ability to use Profession Service Certificates. <nod>

We need to have weeks progress faster!

Where's that flux capacitor when we need one?!?!

Agreed, both adding Profession Service Certs and/or letting difficulty potions stack would be a welcome addition to HESS/Spellbound.

anti-nerf items

Definitely banshee flare upgrade

Eh, all I can think of would be one of the oversized enchanting bulletins, that I intend to purchase in February :)

Both the sigil staff (what you listed) and the mana-infused armor (what pairs with it) have been in the "limited quantity" HESS shop these two runs in 2021.
In February, they were in first-come/first-served piles; in August, they were in the spinner room.

.

Note that adding the "Dramatic Drapery" (third piece of that set) script to headgear would be a good addition, too....

Ooo, I thought of another one:

- Swap bane boost type, e.g. from crit weighting to attack strength.

Currently bane boost type is chosen when a bane cert is applied. It would be nice if there were a way to remake this choice short of buying a new bane cert.

1. fusion orb T2 to T3 upgrades

2. enhancive permifiers

Add +3 fusion slots

Would be nice to add multiple fusion slots in one go rather than taking a couple of years to get to +6.

As I gaze over the horizon, the wind tugs at my cloak and whispers, "Adventure" in my ear.

A squeaky halfling nearby asks, "Why you playing with orcs heads and troll rearends?!"

If "property" includes Enhancive slots, then yes +Bunch. I could see moving a ton of things around, for payment / certificate cost.

Can we get those heal tokens back in stock? Been a while now.

Change the Resistance Certs from +5% to +10%, if this has to be a "hard limit" per item per run, fine. (IE: you can only add two certs per run, so +20% per a single Duskruin Run, cant pay surcharges to do more.)
