Cremating dead bodies

[burgingham]

There already had been ideas like hanging people so we were just thinking about stuff like that and thought: "Hey why not cremate dead bodies?"
The first idea was to use them as high q fuel, a very limited ressource, but worth the effort you have to put in to get it.
The second idea was to use their ashes, once cremated. Similar to hirdsman capes you might wanna add stuff like a cape of the ancestor.

The quality of the fuel should depend on playing time or stats (FOOD STATS, not grind stats). So that people cant spam alts to get hq fuel

[Kahim]

Cape of the ancestor would do what? Like what bonuses you got in mind?

And the only downsidei can see with this is possibly the fact people will make mass alts to murder for their ashes or high ql fuel.

i fuel my stuff with blaze high quality

Thats why the quality should depend on the stats of the killed char.

The cape could give +2 Tradition so you can sacrifice to your ancestors easier at full change. However, that doesnt matter at all right now, its can as well just be there for the style (like hirdsman cape, but completely black instead like rangers boots).

It does sound good but i dont know id like it to give a speacial ability seeing how you must die/kill someone for the cape. A example is it could summon the person whoms ashes you used to help you fight in a PvE battle but not PvP

AW is the only system that can benefit from this devs have postulated other similar systems. Burial and cremation are excellent ideas though.

[Kahim]

of course you would have to cremate the body b4 it decays once it decays that option is gone but you should have a option of being able to bury or use the bones for speacial equipment.

I don't like this idea because it would further encourage murder, but meh, maybe I only fear getting killed to be used as coal.

yeah like a skull throne
