Brands

[iamahh]

Each village would have a unique "brand" associated to it's products.

A brand is a set of buffs applied to crafted items in that village.

The brand evolves with time, the longer the village survives the better it's products will get.

Brand consists of attribute buffs, and realm like buffs as crop speed, animal ql, etc.

Brand applies to equipments and weapons that can be sold in Community Markets.

Identification of the village is optional for security reasons.

Destroying the village or taking over it would destroy the brand.

Brand is not transferable, neighbours villages could develop completely unique brands.

Aka you have clans making 1000 more v claims than they already do on like day 2 to get those sweet buffs.

yeah, it's a long term thing, and could be set to evolve based on village activity, so satellite villages would evolve slower... if players want to have 10 extremely active villages, good luck, they'll burnout even with bots

or realms could have this ability to create buffed items... but realms are OP already

I'm very skeptical about it. Botters would create dozens of villages with lots of fake activity going on inside them, just to be able to get all the possible buffs.

No, just a one-time effort to create the village bot - after that it scales with the amount of AWS instances you want to put onto it.

Wouldn't mind branding as an explicit per-item action, but don't want quality buffs and strange quality mechanics on everything.
