when simple blades become legends (naming weapons & stats)

Post by viznew »

throu out history if a worthy warrior transcended the ability of the common soldier sometimes it was attributed to the weapon thay welded and those weapons rose to glory and legends dispite more often then not it is but a normal weapon with out any special abilitys

now for the idea part
with the use of some hafen magic mabye we chould engrave a name and once a name is given you can mark it with a kill count (also with magic and only near the time of killing prob cheaper then the engraveing) it wont add any stats for say to weapons but whould produce at least a few legendary weapons in haven mabye even to use a sword you did not engrave you'd spend a small amount of exp on some magic to sync the weapon to that char and now your name will be showen when weapon is inspected (which is how youd see it was a sword of legends so mabye some legendary sword are being used but the owner if never inspect might not know thay have a peice of hafen history)

prob suggested before i like following weapons and items in movies and shows so thought chould be cool if had a way here to make mythological weapons

A sword that's named that can build reputation via kill count would be cool.

"A masterful Hirdsman Sword, @$$Stabb3r
Crafted by xXBoNeRStOnEr69Xx
Wielded by Getrektedfags420
Slayer of:
Vandal Alt 1
Vandal Alt 25
Lord Buttram
Poor fkin nab
Another Poor fkin nab..."



While yes, it would be cool to get named items, its implementation would have to be very specific unless we wanted results such as those above.

That already happens with pretty much everything that can be named in the game, so I don't think it's really a new issue.

Amazing idea overall, but I would omit the wielder/victim names. Kill count would be enough. Maybe throw in LP earned while hunting or total LP of the opponents.

Give it an internal kill count, and when you complete quests, the spirits might name it for you based on said counts

Nothing obvious though, like "Fox Slayer" but like "Fylgja" which is less obvious unless you google it.
