Saying "Honor" instead of "Honour" hurts my soul. Oh well.
My suggestion is the Honor Alchemy Machine. (You may be able to tell.)
Honor Alchemy Machine
It upgrades Honor gear, with the same recipes as Cobalt, and possibly lets you make more, I don't know.
Instead of being distributed to all players, distribute it to all guilds that exist on the point of the update, use the UV symbol as an icon or something.
This way, we can have the epic golden Levi and those going "wah you're too low level" will be appeased-if we can make it we're probably alright at the game! It's not "We want every piece of exclusive gear!" (Although I want a set of Black Rose... ah well) it's "We couldn't get the optimal piece of exclusive gear even though we logged on at the specific date, now you gave us a sword that will be useless going forward!" Upgrading it solves this problem, and it's functionally no better than a Levi. It just looks like congealed epic.
Making New Items
While an Honor reskin on every item's probably not going to work (If it does, do it please!), why not the whole Cobalt line? I'd love an Honor Guardian costume set. I think the recipes should be as normal (But the recipes themselves are free: see Sullivan, Sanctuary Alchemy Machine), but with one new component... an Honor (Or, if you think Honor's been overused, Valor) Seal. This can only be bought with guild funds, and when bought, a copy is mailed to all members. A reward from an awesome GM for an awesome guild. Maybe make them necessary for all Honor Crafting! 1 for 2*, 2 for 3*, 3 for 4*, 4 for 5*? That'd look cool.
Guild Funded Honor
Pretty simple: you can buy Honor Equipment with guild funds, but it must be authorised by the Guild Master... and you must have donated to the guild to an as of yet unknown threshold (any ideas?) Once it's bought (100,000 for 2*, 150,000 for 3*, so on) the player automatically recieves it with the notification " has granted you the !"
Mission Honor
Again, simple. You know where you get the Cobalt line recipes playing missions? Yeah. Look back to me, they're now Honor recipes. Well done. Or, buy the recipes/items with Prestige.
The Easy Way
Have Basil stock the 3*/4*/5* recipes. They're worthless without an existing one, so...
Featured Auctions
Occasionally add some Blades, Guards and Stands to Featured Auctions?
Thank you for your time, if you took the time to read it. If not, I despise you with every fibre of my being.
I'll update the thread as I get more ideas...
Honor-ifying everything wont work because some stuff are identical to each other, the only difference being the color.
See wolver coats, brandishes, etc.
