they are nice ideas but i have some problems with it. give any color robe or style and they are still robes. people will still mutter "there are too many jedi" while you wait for a shuttle. it would be nice but over all it is unneeded content. you will still be easily identified as a jedi. also, these jedi artifacts are to be looted. big problem here as killing npcs with force powers or lightsabers gives visibility. the trade off is not worth it (bh hunted or xp loss compared to +1-5 jedi toughness for limited time). and if its a loot item, that means nonjedi will be looting it and selling them for millions, causing more jedi characters to be poor and the economy being more unstable.

if we did get sockets in the robes, imagine the bugs that possibly would surface. someone overstocking the robes like this saber exploit, or say you overstock it on accident like backpacks sometimes do and then you get stuck and cannot move your character, easy pickings for a bh that is hunting you. and to have decay on them would mean more time spent hunting for them.

i really like the idea of quests. darkside and lightside quests would be a good addition but maybe for the rewards we could have permanent bonuses to your character or maybe extra jedi xp. the reward should fit the difficulty of the mission. they should be instanced so no others can help.

instead of all of this, i would rather just have some basic protections. the robes were supposed to be comprable to composite armor and backpacks give more protection. instead of calling them jedi robes, they should have named them jedi placebos. everyday in a solo group i hear someone mention that the robes give protection and then every person with a jedi in the group has to set this person straight from their soe brainwashing. even a little protection would be nice but not so low as to let armor piercing weapons do more damage to you than without the protections.

i do like the ideas that were posted by pikemanarerarerthanjedi, but i would rather just keep things simple.

hmmmm, now that I think about it, there are enough problems with loot drops in this game. Perhaps have these not be SEAs. Maybe it would be better to have them be "qualities" of the robe that are granted solely through sucessful quest completion AND have the quest offer multiple choices for successful completion (such as a dark side and light side option).

Mabey there would be a way to bring the old man into Jedi.

Like.

You hit Jedi padwan and suddenly the old man appears again

I'll use my name shifu

Old man- hello shifu. I have been watching you for a long time.

shifu-really.

Old man- Yes, You have finally earned my trust and I can reveal my real name to you.

Shifu-!!!!!

Old man- I'm master(dont know any jedi masters so well call him qi) qi, I once lived in the time when jedi order where defenders of the republic.

Shifu- I read books on jedi, sound cool, but a fake sotry.

Master qi- Suddenly Master qi knocks you down useing the force.

Shifu-* I get up shaken* How did you do this.

Master qi- Youg padwan. You have much to learn.

Master qi- I'm here to assit you in your journey threw Padwan.

Master qi- I can give you tasks to earn exp or gain jedi artifacts.

Shifu- when can I take these tasks?

Master qi- As soon as you like, young one. Be warned these will not be easy and are very challengeing. And once you become more skilled in the lightsaber, I will give you new and more challengeing tasks

Someting like this would work too. Then after you complete his tasks, The Old man(master qi) would give you acess to his hut. Which would be a safe house somewhere. And he could be a Jedi trainer for every jedi.

For the knight trails he could be like this. A good way to decide which side you are on.

After completing the knight trials. The old man appears (master qi)

Master qi- shifu, You have become one with the force indeed and your skill in the lightsaber has improved vastly.

Master qi- Duel me.

Master qi would be 100% to everything execpt light saber and have 150k ham.

Shifu- Are you serious old man.

Master qi- *Throws a bolt of lighting at you*.

Ok you duel him and when you incap him. Under the Target recticule, there would be an option to heal useing to force or deathblow. If you heal master qi you get into the light FRS, if you deathblow him You get into the dark Frs.
