Thread: Watto's Junkshop make it an Artisan Theme Park and/or Master Artisan quest
You can waltz right into Watto's Junkshop, which is listed on the map in Mos Espa on Tatooine.
Trouble is, there's nothing to do there.
Put this on the long to-do list for the Devs, but I'd like to see the place get turned into a special Master-level quest (like Master Armorsmiths get RIS Armor)and/or theme park for Artisans. It makes absolute sense to me that a junk shop would be a backdrop for Artisan-related missions and new perks - it's a place where low-level crafting happens, not an elite workshop.
What could be the focus of the quests/missions? I'd like to read your ideas, but here are a few of mine:
- Special schematic for super-powered droid components. Make them available only to Master Artisans, make the resources rare, and make the component truly empower a droid.
- Special schematics for optionalspeeder components. Make them go faster, give them shields, give them extra orgamentation, etc.
- Special schematic for an extra speeder/swoop. Offer a unique schematic accessible only via quest, which is expensive to make and maintain, and which looks unique.
- Special schematic for powerups. Allow one to be made for Combat Medic poison range, make an additive that boosts overall powerup effectiveness by 10% when you assemble it, etc.
- I think that maybe Watto's is still dark because he'll play a role in Episode 3, and that George Lucas may have blocked the Devs' access to using him in SWG. If not, though, I'd like to see the place get fixed up and used as something useful. Quests and/or a theme park would be a great addition to the game.

If you've got any feedback or further ideas, please post it. Thanks!
How about a pod racer?

The ability to build pod racers might be a good perk of finishing the theme park. Maybe limit them to special tracks and make it into a special in-game mini-game. Or maybe just give the people who finish the theme park a new chassis or two to play with, something that looks a lot different from the other vehicles.

Excellent idea. I was think a pod racer schematic would be great too!!!
BTW...anyone ever find a use for the birdcage?

Decoration is it, I think. They look great as ornate table legs, and I've seen a few other decent uses for them.
Anyway, I still love this idea, and I can't think of a better in-game setting for a Master Artisan theme park / quest series. I think it would add a lot of character to the city of Mos Espa (maybe turning it into a tinkerer's paradise) as well as a lot of fun to the profession.
Any other feedback and extra input?
For the bird cage, I would suggest a pharple. Have a BE craft one and then use the stairs in a house to put said pharple into the cage. You may need a young one, as the older, bigger pharple might not fit properly.
Pharples can be found on Lok, for you that do not travel there.
