Item Forge

[Bamalam 3]

So, earlier today, I was trying to make a set. I had a really cool idea in mind - a monk set, maybe, - and I wanted to use this item:

 

 

But, when I went to look up the tabard, I could only find one version - a recolor.

 

 

Then, later on, I wanted to make a set, using the tabard version of this:

 

 

But, unfortunately, this item didn't have any tabard versions - not even recolors. For awhile now, I've been a strong supporter of making an item forge - I generally believed it was a good idea to have items with normal-er names, instead of those you'd find in the database. However, with the lack of certain items being in existence, I think the ability for players to make these items, instead of it being solely in the developers' control, would help fill in the holes that developers may have yet to fix, and perhaps make looking for custom items easier, as well.

 

If a big fear is that people may abuse this feature, perhaps by making troll items, then maybe you could introduce an ability on your end to delete certain items - this might help clear up that worry, at least a tad-- or, better yet, maybe let people report an item on the forums or ingame, and if enough people report the item, it could be deleted.

I've also been snooping around the suggestions, and it appears people have also made several complaints that could easily be repaired with an item forge. Like, for example, the incorrect sheaths for weapons like warglaives.

 

An item forge would be useful, in that people could have the ability to recreate these items, but with their proper sheaths - instead of, once again, relying upon the developers to do this for us.

It's coming in 7.3, unfortunately.

Don't think this was confirmed (if it is then great). 

 

I hope that we get an item forge soon enough, I'd love to see the feature introduced - to add spell effects to items as well.

I’m personally really excited for a weapon forge.

I can’t wait to walk up to Romeo in character and hand him his [Glaeweth’s Gauntlets of Thot Decimation] and have her repay me with a good ol’ [Dried Toenail Chassis]

 

The excitement is real.

I didn't actually think of having items tied to a phase, so that officers exclusively can distribute, say, passes, or coins. Yeah. When I make the item forge, this is definitely going to be an aspect of it.
