invention

A few classes recieve the spell called create object, wich create objects a random object that is normally found in a younger adventurer's training place. I am curious to know if we could have a trade implemented that would allow PC's to create completely new items..or varyations of one in the game..sort of make them more personal. Or would that fit under a rename category? Just an idea that occured to me as I was playin my Gondar and I thought it could be neat...

Thoughts?

I sort of like this idea. However, I like the fact that you have to work hard and gain glory in order to gain specialized equipment. I just don't think it's something that the admins are going to go for.

well, it can have its limitations, hopefully according to prophiciency..And if you create something, instead of personalising(sp), it will be kept at a mid-low level item status, nothing big..didnt really think of anything magical..just something that you can do to make something that is for you..or someone else..It was just an Idea I had in my head, half organized..perhaps through the forum a solid idea will some out

I don't know if this idea would be possible as I believe it would waste too many vnums in the game.

Well, what if instead of creating someting new, you would have something in your inventory that you would be able to, sort of take apart, and remake as something else?

There are already trades in the game for certain races and classes that allow them to make things like armour and weapons.

Look around IC.

I would think it is very unlikely there will ever be an ability to rename our own items as it is both open for a TON of abuse and something that is special. Turning create object into a spell that renames makes it no longer what it is, the ability to create objects, not change objects.

Just my thoughts

This was discussed either on this forum or the older one about being able to rename items...it was so long ago to me that I can remeber little save for examples about things that should not be certain things becoming them and whatnot. I honestly belive that the variety of items in the game and the ability to opt and build areas or reccomend things for areas allows for such items to exist or exist eventually.

Also, ICly you can find several objects that were invented by PCs. My guess was the the "inventors" sent in their ideas to builders complete with all details of the progs that make the things work.

In response to the renaming of items...The Imms used to give chars the priviledge to rename their objects at a cost of glory. The program was axed recently because, as Gwain said, there are many objects currently in the game, but also because it takes up precious time that could be used for other things.

P.S. The string is somewhere....
