Gilding is flawed

[vatas]

My opinion is that gilds should be way to improve the stat gains, not be sole source of them.

The only thing I disagree with is clothing QL impacting gild value

Clothing should stay as a softcap while gild values are sitll based on the gilds themselves

Otherwise, I like this a lot.

Agreed on all counts, current gilding is shit and only serves to promote linen bots a LOT more than village claim expansion.

I like the idea of rare gildings very much.

I like preset # slots better than random, also being able to remove a gild to replace with a better one is nice. the # of guilds is pretty disappointing, some are also ridiculously good while others are terrible. those tree leaves for example are overpowered.

I think q of the item should affect the multiplier. you didn't really talk about that.

Some small amount of RNG does spice things up, but I think I agree that the current amount of RNG is just annoying. Quality, skills or some equivalent form of progression should have an impact on the final result of the gild. Any system should be accessible by newbies but only mastered by experienced players. This is a great attempt at bringing equipment into a more reasonable range. The only worry I have is that it should not be "cookie-cutter" that is, it should not be encouraging only certain items to be used with certain equipment.

The current gild system actually does have this problem, it just manages to somewhat cover it up by throwing in RNG. Making entire houses filled with straw hats is annoying and ridiculous, but I will say that having RNG does help to diversify gear. Perhaps some RNG in the form of small additional bonuses being triggered once certain conditions are met.

A linen shirt with a "critical success" would, provided it is paired with other critical success gear, enable stat boosts. Combined with a straw hat this could enable cooking boosts, or combined with pants it could boost sewing, and so on.

Just some thoughts. +1 to this
