1.18.2 Idea: Blacksmith!

*Inhales* Let's Just get straight to the point!
The Blacksmith would allow items (Emerald Staff, Etc.) To be repaired with a small fee, Ex:
[1/2]Blacksmith: Bring me [3 Scrap Metal, 5 Emerald Blocks, and 1 Liquified Emerald] And I should be able to repair this item, if not make it stronger!
[2/2] Blacksmith: Phew! There you go, Soldier! I even managed to incorporate a bit more magic into that item!
+50 Durability
Another ability of the blacksmith would be: Arcane Forging!
Arcane Forging would act as a way of getting a replica of the item you're forging, but with different Ids
Ex:
[1/3] Blacksmith: Welcome back, Soldier! I see you have a lot of junk in those bags, eh? Why not allow me to take some of that junk, and turn it into something new?
[2/3] Blacksmith: A little bit of Powdered Emerald... a bit of Unmeltable Ice... and a touch of Cursed Slime...
[3/3]Blacksmith: Ahah! I made a repica of that Emerald Staff You've got, I'll take 2 Liquified Emerald for my services. Thanks!
Pros: Would act as a money sink. Allowing nearly Broken items to have more durability, increasing the values of that item.
Cons: Duplication of an item will cause more money to be made, Therefore causing more items to appear on the market.
Another thing: Mythic and Legendary tier items would be incapable of arcane forging, Reducing chances of duplicated items.

I pretty much agree with that idea. I mean someone who can make you a weapon out of junk items sounds great! However you got me a bit confused with the repair part and durability. I think there is no such thing as durability here is there? Or will it be added in the next update?

 

its getting added in 1.18

 

I’d be careful, you don’t actually have any idea what durability actually is, you can’t base ideas around stuff you think is coming.

 

This ^

I’d hold off on any suggestions for now, especially since the change log is coming soon.

 

As others have said, rn is probably the worst time to make these types of suggestions. Until a full change log is posted it is hard to create suggestions based on speculations.

If your assumptions are correct then I would agree with you, but for now we just have to wait and see what happens.

 

Also

Just a personal opinion here, but not a fan of the whole "supporter goals" thing ppl do. Milestones is one thing, but deciding to rework an entire system just because a certain amount of people approve just seems... odd. I might be alone in this, but I would suggest just making it into milestones and doing your best when you first post, updating it as you go to fix issues or incorporate new ideas, rather than update whenever a certain number of people agree with you. Besides, an update may not even be necessary, which just renders the goals irrelevant.

Sorry, fixed

 

No need to be sorry man, it’s not a big deal. Was just my personal opinion
Still a fan of the idea assuming your assumptions are correct

 

Congrats on the first suggestion to be added less than a week after its creation!

Additional Comments and Notes

In my opinion, this is a pretty good idea, so kudos for that. However, like people above said, it is dangerous to assume things about durability immediately without experiencing how it works.

Not such a fan of this idea. I feel like we already have rerolling; this is unnecessary, as it's just rerolling without the risk. Also, as you said, people will probably abuse this and cause there to be more things on the market; if they're rare or not.
My next point is that there could be an exploit where you arcane forge all of your uniques and rares, then item buyer them, which will most likely make many Level 1-75 players rich quickly.

I like the mythic and legendary tier item idea, however, it wouldn't do much to prevent the problems said above.

Overall, it's a good idea.
