Yes i think every profession should have some ultimate goal item (but in my head i wish there was some sort of way to customize there look, wiether it be color shape outward partical effect somthin)

As for the quest itself i would like to see the whole quest as a solo journey, no groups or partners. Perhaps each mission works like Corvette where you enter a area thats souly for you. I am imagining entering lost temples or caves to find the relics of the "Nameless Blade" and not just hack/slashing mobs(though that is fun) but how about a some riddles that determine how we progress through the area. if you get the riddle wrong a door opens up thats path filled with more monsters then if you got it right. True strength is within the mind right? Or

True strength is within the mind right? A test of strength would be cool too, can you clear this room of mobs before the time limit. And your DPS produce X amount of dmg in Y amount of time

But if i did a big involved quest for a sword i would want its condition very high and someway to know when it is being repair that it wount be failed on. Maybe a forge where we make our weapon is where we can repair to max, if we have some kind of item that is used to repair it fully when it is in the forge. No idea what that could be though some kind of specail ore?

The Nameless Blade Chapter 2

Drigel was concerned about his friend.It had been two days since Frel had shown up, and he still had not fully recovered.He turned his gaze from the bed where his friend lay back to his work.Perhaps this power core was not in as bad of shape as it had first appeared.

As he worked Drigel went over the facts he knew in his head.Frel had only been able to give him a bit of information; he had been slipping in and out of consciousness.Most of his information was from the Bothan smuggler whom Frel had hired as his transport.

His friend had nearly died on Dathomir while searching for this power unit.The Bothan claimed that Frel had fallen prey to some sort of warlock.Drigel had his doubts, but the burn marks that Frel now bore did not look like they came from blasters.Before he lost consciousness Frel had demanded that the Bothan take him to Drigel’s shop on Talus.The only things Frel had on him were some supplies, his Power Hammer, an odd sword, an even odder crystal, and this corroded power core.Being a weapon smith, Drigel had taken an interest in the sword and the core that seemed to match it.

“Ah good, good!” Drigel said to himself as he toggled a switch on the power core.

“Does it work?”

Drigel spun, not expecting anyone to have heard him.

“Frel! My friend, how are you?” he asked.

“I, I’m not sure.Does the power supply work?”

Concern took Drigel again.Every time Frel awoke he asked about either the sword or the power core.“Yes friend, I had to rebuild most of it, but it does seem to work.Its power output is remarkably high for something of its size.”

“Excellent,”Frel said as he closed his eyes and laid back.“Once I have rested a bit I need to find the other pieces.Maybe you could fix up my hammer…..”Darkness overtook him again.His dreams were troubled at first, but then a familiar shape drew towards him.He did not fear this figure, as he had so many in his dreams as of late.For it was the Nameless Man.

Ok check this out ive got an idea forthe quest to get it

Heres the layout of the themepark

Layout: Instanced missions and non instanced missions

Location: Yavin Massassi Temple ( maybe a new one)

Background: Last outpost of the followers of exar kun and keepers of the ancient sith knowledge. The followers live secluded lives and await the return of their master to lead them to galactic control.

Loot: only gotten as rewards for completeing the various quest and while a single player can do all the quest it is not neccessary for the player to benefit fully from the themepark.

Inside an instanced temple with the new village thing appearing to be this way there is no reason they can't do this.

Quest Tree one:Swordsman

Quest Requirements: Master 2h swordsman

Npc locations : 300m outside of the temple, temple entrance, 1st corridor, second corridor, library, forge, and Inner sanctum

Quest locations: (in order from npc misson givers) Random spawn on yavin, sith artifact from an nearby temple (instanced), word game, test of strength (instanced room spawning a high level npc in the room only defeatable by a swordsman (maybe only vuln to blast and everything else insane 95% resist), Test of knowledge ( another word game but tougher), forge recovery of a certain blade fragmant form the catacombs underneath the temple( instanced solo) Inner sanctum recovery of the sword from the same catacomb from the corpse of a high level mob ( instanced solo)

Reward: After completion player recieves the non tradable sword and access to the blacksmith for repairs and also recieves a ceremonial blade for decoration in his house.

Quest tree two: Fencer ( they need a new toy also imm sick of seeing stun batons )

Quest Requirements: Fencer

NPC locations: same

Quest locations: same except the test of strength which is now a fencer only completable meaning maybe stun vuln and the ar is different on the mobs to accomedate fencer lack of ap.

Reward: after completion fencer recieves a new nonm tradabel sword which is the one handed version of the 2h sword access to blacksmith and repairs.

Quest tree three: Pikeman

Quest Requirements Master pikeman

Npc: same

Quest locations: same but geared towards pikeman with electricity vuln

Reward: After completion the pikeman resieves a double bladed version of the 2h weapon and the same access and decoration.

Quest tree four: Teräs Käsi

Quest requirements: TKM

Npc: same

Quest same but lower kenetic resist higher ham

Reward a new move if possible (which i think it is i mean weaponsmiths get new schematics and abilities are given with advancement) Move would be called The Demon Rider and would be a 6x multiplier move which had a high ham cost modifier making the power be a trade off for ability to do over and over or spam if possible place a 15 sec delay on its usage but allow other moves to be used in between strikes move would have a glowing orange hand trails and place a stun intimidate and blind state on the opponent and be random ham. Tka also gets access to a robe whihc has no mods and can be worn for looks or displayed as decoration.

Quest tree five: Jedi ( if we give them their own quest they wont **edit** about ours)

Quest requirements : jedi padawan

Npcs : same

Quest same however the mob in the test of strength has force resist and lightsaber resist not high but some there is a starwars monster like this it was in knights of the old republic however ive forgotten the name,

Reward a high damage crystal and a special color crystal which both do not decay the color crystal is a specail one which the jedi can make any color they wish by tuning it access for i don't know why not and a special jedi robewhihc is cloaked and black and grey this robe has the same modifiers as padawan robes and is non tradable, jedi also recieve a statue of exar kun to display in thier house.

Quest tree six : Warrior

Quest requirements: Completion of 2 of the prior quest ( encouraging doubel mastery or rewarding players that do it each time they master)

Npc The head caretaker

Quest: The player must venture deep within the catacombs and kill a very special creature, upon returning the playe rmust then answer the mans questions wisely ( player has 3 chances or wrong guesses)

Reward: A special ring whihc allows the player to purge himself of all ailments( fires poisons bf diseases wounds and damage) once every 6 hrs or server reset this ring has unlimimited charges and is also non tradable.

Critique let me know your thoughts.

isn't non tradable and non equipable the same thing? i mean whast the point in trading if you can't use it and you get the decoration for your house? But i think i see your point, it would maek it difficult to show the poor guy you just decapitated what dide it if you couldn't trade >

lmao at maltrix

i like the idea of a good sword with seksi damage but not some jedi/sith/exar kun ancient blade crapola, give use a good sword, maybe shematic lootable, qestable, parts craftable but lootable ones better, an item that a good deal of swordmen will have but only dedicated ones

like jedis? play kotor

Well I had a nice in depth post but the boards decided to log me off, so i am gona retype this quick. I am saying this so that noone see me as being rude

First off nice insight. But this is swordsman forum so lets keep this about swordsman. If someone here would like to post there on the other forums on what they would want for an elite that would be great, the more response the more likly it will happen, I volenteer if no one else does though i dont have any experiance in the other brawler professions.

I think that if you have more then one combat profession then you need to pic one and do that profession's elite weapon quest and that would be the only one you could have unless you destory it, or give up the mater skill of that combat profession which in turn would destory your item or make it 1/1 condition. I feel that the weapon should be tuned to your body and soul and be an extention of you as you use and there for you should not be able to have another weapon of this magnitude. But each class's weapon would be balanced with the others(i dont want to say equal)

Also the idea of one temple that you go to for all brawler profession to get your item isnt very appealing, it be nice if each profession quest was drastically differant with a completely new plot. Such as(and this a quicky) A random spawn in a givin town, An old man/hermit who you do a few delivery/retrival missions for on the last mission he gets attacked by some lets say "Disciple of Sith"(or something more orginal) and to keep in tune with the story we have he pulls out a lightsaber and starts defending himself and when you and him finish them off he gives you a map and says it would be better for now if you kept it since they dont know about you. He gives you a waypoint to meet him at and despawns. You can't read the map but on the other side(or with in the disk which ever is more starwars feeling) is a story about a weapon, what it can do, who weild the weapon ages ago etc. When you go to waypoint and give the old man the map back you can ask him about the map and the weapon and being the quest (i also had the idea that inorder to strt thequest you would need to fight the old man to prove your skills to him)

and in closing i would like to say that all the idea in this post have been good and oppion swaping is what will make this work. And i hope everyone who disagrees with someone can do so in a nice subtle manner, respecting others oppions and keeping this thread flame clean will make it more professional and the devs can take it seriously

Well i see your point but let me defend myself allitle, in my design the temple is instanced so really it doesn't matter that the quest stim from the same place. There are alot of double masters so why not include them in the quest, and its the only way to get the community to accept it outside of the swordsman community.

Great story so far! I am looking forward to the next chapter.

As for the new weapon, I think it should not be tradable because it would be a "status" that you have become really good in your profession.

Well I mean that the feel of the quest would be kinda odd and downed sized to me if every quest originates from the same place. I could picture a bunch of TKMs and Fencers, Pikeman and fellow swordsman running around doing the quests, kinda makes me feel part of the crowd, was kinda picturing something differant than a typical theme park is all. Now am i mistaken when saying you image instanced temple as it randomly spawns a building on Yavin which you would enter? That would work and more likely be more idealistic then what i had in mind.Which was say you speak to a NPC and he either grants you acces/teleport whatever intoyour own zonelikethe corellian Corvette. The zone would be realitivlysmalland you would the only onein it.With a area dedicated to only one PC i would think you could do more things like differant paths depending on what you do in as your progress though(Riddle or otherwise)

I just think that speaking about another professions "Elite weapon" should be posted on thier forum is all. Like Fencers are suppose to get duel weild after JTL right? So maybe there weapon would be two swords ^_^ I think ill post something about Elite weapons every brawler forum and see what there response is.
