_____________________________________ Hello forums Today i had a cool idea in regards to the upgrading process for the new smithing feature and hope it has at least crossed the developers minds. Im sure the apes are on top of it though. Now we can all see the new equip and what it takes to get it started. I am personally digging the relics idea and can't wait to hit up battle list for the reward opportunities. Equipment I really like the equipment KaW has to offer but i don't like that we all end up with the same package in the end. (More or less) With smithing comes another opportunity for the devs to really mix up what we see when we are glancing around at the equipment sets of our friends and enemies. Mix it up even more than ewar equipment that is. good job devs. Mithril The first type of bar released for kaw was a pretty cool idea. People hoarded it during sales and then many dashed for mwars when the sales went dry. It is a great feature in the game. It has the power to enchant red paladin equipment and gives you a competitive stat edge via spells available when you visit the alchemist. Yay for mithril. _____________________________________ Ok now lets talk Bronze Bars. Bronze bars; while once a mere bank and contemplated/debated subject in forums for future use.. has now been lofted by the devs to the next level and made into a far more necessary part of the game via the new smithing system. They set the bar pretty low on the cost for upgrading imo. (image a) I think they should make the price higher.. 2 bars is to low. Agree? I would like to see it in the thousands. My friend has 40k sitting there because "the devs are planning something big for bronze bars bro." Well at least he has a nice bank. Haha Anyway the final product(?) looks cool. Now what I'm thinking is simple. What If we could initiate smithing with a set of options to choose from? These options would be simple. The image for bronze bars next to relics as seen in the above image(image a) would be a tab. Next to that another tab. One for mithril... But 2 would so limiting; thus i propose the addition of even more types of bars. Gold bars!..because we all have so much of it. Also silver bars! and maybe one other. I think three types would increase the variety of bfe in the field. If you posses enough of the type of metal then the tab would light up and become selectable. Then you can begin smithing. _____________________________________ Kaw admin said the current smithing system will require the relic scrolls and the bronze bars to start then the upgrading process goes as usual with those trick hoes aqua and infailno ... Ok devs. Ok.. But why not really play with this?? With the ability to customize equipment comes the ability to customize you're kingdom even further. It would take experimenting to find desired gear routes and i think maybe a smithing reset button would be a cool edition. It would suck to want equipment that was heavy defense and end up with a balanced or heavy attack boost... Or maybe even dude equip that has a negative stat enchantment for the last level.. ? Idk. Lots to think about. I prefer defense equip when in an osw. I often equip the heavy set to unload and then switch back to heavy D set for the 100 mill defense bonus i receive. It works!! Sometimes. :lol: Haven't had to much luck with a def set in ewar yet. Made top 10 last time. Still working on that. _____________________________________ So lets go ahead and say you're a top notch ewar champ that drops xstals and rock full paladin gear. Hoarding mith now? Still waring? Idk because im not one of you. :lol: Im always on the losing side. With your stock of mithril I'm sure you would be interested in smithing a full mithril set of stabilizer boots. Which could look something like that. Now maybe choosing aqua over inferno provides more def while inferno provides more att. There are so many options. Even pots could be factored into the smithing process. That's the general idea. Thanks for reading!
While I doubt I'll ever have the mith to rock so much as one toe of those cool boots, I love the idea! And options! I love options! Even if I'll never get to use them. :'(
Interesting, this is a pretty big change but maybe not that big... good idea. We have something kind of like this for upgrading avatars but it's still a linear path.
Didn't you have a huge thread on this a couple of days ago Frac? I support, the general idea! Obviously, some fleshing out could occur, but overall, winner!
Yes i did bizzaro. It was in off topic or other kaw discussion.. Idk lol It had good support and some nice feedback so i decided to move it here. Didnt get much feedback from the junky forum regs but some randoms showed up. I really like this idea a lot. If the devs could tweak anything they have going so far in this direction it would be so awesome. What ever they have planned is gonna be cool so win win really.
