I miss how we used to be able to create uniforms for our guild and function with them on the field. So I propose the ability to alter armor and clothing to other armor/clothing types that use the same slot. How often do people run around in chain mail or ringmail, where are the rp orcs of old, etc? I am tired of looking more like someone heading to the beach with my glasses then a Knight into battle.
For instance: Change glasses into a nose helm - it retains properties of the glasses but is altered into a nose helm.
The ability would require both tinkering which is used to repair glasses and blacksmithing which is require to make a Nose helm. The item would have a chance of breaking depending on skill. You would not be able to take a non med piece and turn it into medable piece like a non mage armor helm into a mage's hat. However a med metal piece could be altered into a cloth hat.
Guidelines:
- Alterations can be made by characters who have achieved the status of grandmaster in the skill that creates/repairs the item being altered as well as the skill that creates/repairs the item being created [Glasses to Hat - Tinker/Tailor]. [Hat to Metal Helm -Tailor/Smith, etc]
- Altering an item is risky and may cause the item to break - higher skill and talismans reduce the risk.
- Items can only be altered into items that occupy the same clothing/armor slot
- Items that are altered can not be enhanced.
- Items that are altered can not be imbued
- Items can only be altered once
- Items that would gain an additional property through the alteration would automatically break - [non med metal helm into a leather cap = break]
- Items retain all properties (including med) if successful (thus changing a hat into a helm would make the helm with all the hat's properties including mage armor since the hat was medable before alteration)
- Elven armor (only) and Garg armor (only) would retain the racial requirements
- Only armor and clothing could be altered in this fashion - not weapons, jewelry, etc
