ok this is just a thought that i had while reading some threads.....

what if a MASTER swordsman were able to craft there own unique weapon....that no weaponsmith could create? it would make master a more sought after title.....

this weapon wouldnt be overpowered or anything, it would just be somthing diffrent to signify that u are master, a weapon that u create yourself would essentially be part of your overall character, and its stats would depend on the materials that were used(of course).....

feel free to play around with this idea, or put your comments or suggestions here....this is a free post for anyone with an idea

yay!!! totely agree 5 stars!

very good idea - sendit to SOE

Master Level weapons are in the works. Supposedly they are similar to weapons we have now, but have better stats and only Master can use them of course.

Personally I am with you guys I would love to see completely NEW Master Weapons, its only deserving.

Im not sure if SOE intends to just make the same weapon, but with different varients (Novice - Master) of it, since that would really suck!

Would be good to see some more weapons introduced, but I doubt that they'll allow Master Swordsmen to make there own Swords. Fair enough, it would be very similar to a Jedi making his own light saber, but I cant see SOE cutting out the Weaponsmiths, even if the weapons we make at Master is craftable only by us, and only wielded by us.

Not a bad idea in itself, only problem I see is the weaponsmiths will be thrown into an uproar over it.They already badly resent loot weapons, even though mostare total junk -can you imagine the outcrythere would be over masters making their ownbladeswhich are actually usable?

Master Sword, whether craftable by us, weaponsmiths or simply a quest (ooh novel idea...) would be great. I would have to insist it be a hard certification though. Ie, you can't equip it at ALL without the cert (as opposed to just lowered damage). Just my two one-hundreth of a credit.

Weaponsmiths will (and should) never be cut out of the loop on the best weapons. If you want to play a game where you dont have to interact with other people, there's LOTS of 1player games out there.

Now, I could see if only the master swordsman could craft a specific COMPONENT of the weapon. Then give this to the weaponsmith. Or simply quest/find the component. But the weaponsmith should always be in on the final combine of any weapon that is best.

The "legendary" weapons are the only current exception and are considered acceptable only because they drop about 1/10000

I am a master weaponsmith and love the idea of master weapons. It really doesn't follow the game flow for the swordsman to build them, but I am ok either way. Just the idea of a weapon only a master can wield is exciting. I would love to see it!

Some kind of quest to collect all the pieces (sort of like that blade in kotor), at which point you would bring them to a master weaponsmith... that would be cool. Not to lean too much on EQ but it would be somewhat similar to the epic quests there.. (though not nearly as bad as say, the mage's hah).

Just something distinct that shows you put a lot of effort into both mastering the class AND going the extra step for the master sword. Would be a good way to seperate people playing a class because they want to from the power gaming holocron chasers..

*sigh* where or where is my Scyth?

If you want this idea to be noticed by a dev, you oughta post it in the Swordsman Round Table: on weapons sticky at the top of the swordsman forum.
