Weaponsmith Archive

Allow weaponsmiths to have a chance at crafting exceptional/legendary weapons or weapons with dots? Obiously some sort of system would have to be put into place to keep these items RARE. Dont' want people setting up macro's all day to make ton's of uber weapons. But someone had to craft the awesome weapons coming from krayt's and ns, why not us?

I remember this was argued a long time ago and the outcome was it wasn't fair that other crafters couldn't make legendary or exceptional armor or foods, so weapons would unbalance the professions and you'd have tons of baby weaponsmiths running around who are already damaging a somewhat limited economy.

I do like Jolene's idea of having exceptional or legendary successes though, but it'd have to moderates so only 12 point WS's could have the option to get these during experimentation. (Or assembly, but those would probably be rare.)

There is the critical succes so we have something that happens rarely and makes the weapon better. But yes it would be nice if the legendary/excepional weapons didnt drop, but was crafted. (you shouldnt be able to make factory run of these obviously :b )

Another option would be Ultra Rare Componant Drops that would allow DOT's. Say you 1 out of 100000 Power Handlers that Nym guys drop would give a Dot. lower than normal damage but toss on a DOT and possibly it is usefull. These types of drops would have to be kept as rare as the Exeptional Loot drops.

I agree that extremely rare loot drops would be nice. High damage components, DoT's, you name it, just keep them rare. This is possibly something that can be introduced after they get rid of thelooping macros. Looping combat / loot macros just produce too much opportunity for a few people to gain too much of this type of loot.

/agree. Loots need to be made completely random, and way more rare. But that's a topic that belongs in the CU forums.

Finding some Geo sword cores with a DoT would be awesome, or a limited use DoT schematic that goes in place of a krayt tissue, those would really add a new dimension to WS'ing!

I have also thought why not have a poison lootable from some MOBs that would put a light, limited DOT on melee weapons. Makes sense...Poison laced swords do exsist. I agree that we need something now that is UBER rare (hate the word uber, but it works here) and available to all not just off a NS or a krayt or kimo or something...but not a meatlump either.

I dont like the new krayt spawn. Although I use the tissue it is becoming so that Krayt= the new sliced...Lets make something rare again folks!

That would put the CM profession up in arms for sure...not unless they could craft the poison and supply it to players. Then again, that would ruin DoT loot. Oh well..it's a circle.

The CM nitche is the poison and disease DoT. Sure Pikemen get lots of DoT weapon drops, but if every player had the chance of converting their weapons for poison DoT weapons, I can see CM's getting a bit upset. I'm not saying that I'm 100% against the idea...I'm just thinking about the implications of it. Even if the loot drops were rare, the serious PvP players would find ways to acuire these weapons and the serious PvP CM's would be the ones most affected anyway. Don't worry, I'm just adding to the discussion....not protesting the idea.
