World The Forge

IS IS NOT A QUEST!
Yes, it sounds really similar to The Forgery, but I dont have a better name.
Lets ignore this for now and start.

Everyone has their own favourite playstyle.
For example spellspam while permanently surrounding the enemy, kill Enemies with Poison while healing with Life Steal etcetc
But there isnt always a weapon that supports this playstyle.

This is where my Idea comes in.
A Corkian NPC named like idk maybe Ferknianest (reference to Frankenstein) tells you about some rumors that a crazy scientist is trying to create Magic with science.
He says, many people say they have seen him near the avos territorry at (xyz), but they are probably lying and just wanted to tell an interesting story.
You now have to go there and there is a semi-hidden teleporter.
Go inside and you'll meet an NPC called Eroblo, who tells you he finally did it.
He offers you to make you the perfect weapon for you, in exchange for money and a one-time fee of 2 LE and 32 EB.
To get the base, he tells you to bring the weakest possible Weapon of the respective class (which is the Depressing), one Unidentified Legendary Weapon of the class, and one T4 Powder of each Element.
Now, you need to choose the Element of your Weapon. For that, you need the right Gemstone:

Earth: Peridot (ore Jade)
Thunder: Topaz (or Emberstone)
Water: Sapphire (or Aquamarine)
Fire: Ruby (or Garnet)
Air: Diamond (or Moissanite)

You can get these from killing the Respective Ores which are positioned at the following locations:
Peridot/Jade: Dernel Jungle
Topaz/Emberstone: Mage Island
Sapphire/Aquamarin: Seavale Reef
Ruby/Garnet: Molten Heights Near Maex
Diamond/Moissanite: Avos Territory

One Gemstone will make it a Gae/Shock/Lap/Hot/Breeze/Strange Weapon.

Two Gemstones will make it a Jungle/Lightnign/Wave/Wildfire/Storm/Mixed Weapon

Three Gemstones will make it a Quake/Stormbringers'/Tsunami/Inferno/Cyclone/Unity Weapon

These have the following base attack speeds:

Earth: Very Slow
Thunder: Very Fast
Water: Normal
Fire: Slow
Air: Fast
Mixed: Normal

And the following Base Damages:

Earth: 300-560
Thunder: 3-333
Water: 120-243
Fire: 170-290
Air: 209-212
Mixed: One third of each of the chosen Elements

Now, you can add "Identifications" to them:

I will list the Identification per one Item. You can enlargen them by adding more.

-Rotten Flesh: +6% Melee and -1 Attack Speed
-Bone Meal: +5 Agility and -6% Fire Def
-Blaze Powder: +7% Fire Dmg and -12% Water Def
-Volt Goat Horn: +1 Tier Attack Speed and -12% Melee Damage and -6% Earth Damage
-Nelfors Coral: +1 Mana Regen and Steal and -7 Strength
-Red Mushroom: +80 Poison and -80 Life Steal
-Brown Mushroom: +90 Poison and -90 Life Steal
-Small Mushroom: +200 Poison and -80 Life Steal
-Black Spoon: +20% Spell Dmg and -20% Melee Damage
-Royal Bug Blood: +600 Health and -6 Strength
-Condor Feather (?): +14 Walk Speed and -4 Defense
-Golden Tooth: +3% Thunder Damage and -5% Fire Defense
-6 LE: +One Powder Slot (Max 3)

This list will be continued, please send more Ideas.

Give constructive feedback please.
I want to improve this.

 

First of all, this is probably extremely hard to code.

Second of all, balancing would be a nightmare.
See, from reading the IT’s posts i have noticed they often spend HOURS working on a single item.

Third,i’m pretty sure crafting systems have been suggested in the past.

Fourth, too cheap for something so strong.

Fift, making it too expensive makes it P2W, wich is a bad thing.

4/5 make a combo that makes this unfair if it costs at all. So, it would have to be a reward from something.

6, where do you get the reward?

7, how do you get the reward from there?

8, powders already give plenty of customization.

I don’t think this is a good idea.

 

1 and 2: Okay.
3: May be, but maybe none like this.
4: No, because e.g. grinding 1.5 Stacks Rotten Flesh takes long (and sucks)
5: It is not too expensive. You can get some gemstones for rather cheap.
6: what reward? If you mean the item, there
7: just bringing items, he gives it to ya
8: no they dont. They have some damage effects and specials, but that isnt so much and with this you csn even customize the ids

If you dont like it, its fine. Anyways thanks for your feedback.

 

This is a cool idea with the whole self serve weapon quest thing. My only problems would be as follows:

1. I'm not sure requiring an un-identified weapon would work with the quest system, but someone can probably prove me wrong.

2. I don't really get the purpose/lore of the quest?Eroblo is a crazy guy who just wants to make a weapon for you, what's his motive? How is Eroblo trying to "create Magic with science"? Is he an Avos or Corkian?

3. Is this supposed to be like 'The Ultimate Weapon' but it gives a useful weapon? I think if you're going for a more grind/annoying fetch quest which gives a really good reward you could make the player go to a whole bunch of different areas on the map and get items that aren't used in other quests. (I'm pretty sure >50% of the items are used already)

4. What level is the quest?

5. Is the weapon you get a mythic? I'm asking because of the poll option "Nah, it sorta spoils the Mythic".

Overall this is a cool idea for a quest but could use some clarification on a few things as I was kind of confused.

 

First off this seems like a pretty good idea.

Buying from a merchant is a bit bland
Maybe make it so you can find the ores.
The ores will be mobs that look like ore, and if you kill them, they drop the crystal
Like jade ore (we use emerald as a currency, i don't think we should use them in weapons too) in dernal jungle, topaz ore in corkus, sapphire rarely in seavale reef, ruby ore spawns in molten heights, and diamond ore in sky islands
I also think because mixed/rainbow is broken, you need some 6th ore to get it
i would say quartz, as it is known to appear in many colors.

first off, the volt goat horn is way too opie.
I would make the debuff even stronger, and 2 debuffs
like +1 attack speed, -46% melee damage, and -52% earth damage
Also, rotten flesh increases melee without affecting attack speed, which is why i think my change will help. People can just stack on rotten flesh and 6 goat horns for maximum attack
also make a cap for each item, or make an overall cap



anyway, i like this suggestion. 10/10

 

Okay. Here is some claryfying:
Its not a quest.
And also, it is Legendary but not a Mythic. Still, people can think Mythics arent worth.it anymore

 

For Tier 3 weapon names

Earth : Quaking
Thunder : Stormbringer's

 

i like gay weapons

what do you mean by gae

 

Gae old greek for earth

 

Both Gaea and Gaia are used in Wynncraft, so it's better to stick to one of those.

Does this mean bows will have higher damage and wands lower damage and whatnot? If not this would be extremely overpowered for mages.
