Caption:

"Knights that are rescued from gremlin captivity are often left with nothing to show for it other than bad memories of being locked up in a cage and abused by their snarling captors. Their weapons are always stolen and their gear often damaged by gremlin engineers to prevent any notion of surviving an escape attempt.

In order to get these knights back into their squad ready for battle, Spiral HQ needs other knights with access to ample resources to pitch in and provide them with the necessary weapons and gear."

Proposals:

1. When delivering the resources, can we knights deliver more than weapons such as armor, helmets, and shields?
2. Let these knights make a random appearance the same day (or your next run) using your donated equipment in either the clockworks missions or a fellow player's clockworks run, both for one floor. Rank missions are excluded. And any time during this NPC's time with you, he or she ought to say something in regard to either the weapon, the knight, or both in their caption bubble. Additionally, the quality of the equipment ought to shown in use.
3. Let the ranking requirements of the weapons and gear vary in exchange for how many prestige points the knights are granted; the higher the rank, the greater the amount. Just limit the rank of the request to the player's highest equipment ranking.

Reason?

I guess I would like to see more come about my delivery, which I have yet to follow through with. It might also be another way to get rid of old unwanted gear. But I guess I should have thought this through more.

Recon ranger

Every recon ranger I summon from that point on should use the gear appropriated. Elsewise this crap is just a fill spot.
Honestly this prestige carp for a little horse head badge is a little pathetic to me.

I make you black, bluue and red all over

If prestige was either used in-game or strategically and adeptly used as a scoring system, people may start to care more about it.

Stealing Arms Appropriation

Hmm, what do I have for my prestige missions today. White Collar Captives, I'll do that later. Heart of Ice, I'll be sure to invite my other Rangers for that one in a few minutes. And, uh, what's that? You want me to give all my piercing weapons to a guy that doesn't even appear in game for a tiny 300 prestige points?

I'd like an idea such as this to be added. At least it would make this ever so 'generous' mission a bit more reasonable to complete. But even so, giving away a level 10 Blitz Needle for an untrained NPC to use in one level that will most likely be slime themed is not worth it.

Now if I were to say my own word in this I think that every time you gave a knight one of your weapons, helmet, armor, or shield, it can eventually lead them up to an NPC knight made from equipment you gave them. Then you can use that knight for up to 5 levels each day. The NPC knight will have all the properties of the equipment you gave it. For example, if you gave it an Iron Slug, Ironmight Plate Shield, Divine Mantle, and Justifer Hat, the knights would have:

+Fire resistance
+Curse Resistance
+Shock Resistance
+Stun Resitance
+Medium ASI for an Iron Slug
+Moderate amounts of shadow, piercing, elemental, and normal defenses.
-Shield is required, but not used.

The knight could be added into a kind of tab or signal flare or whatever when you're in any level. You can use this to signal the knight and use it up for 1 time of those 5 you have for it. After 24 hours it will be reset and you can use the knight in any level for 5 times again. If you have created a set for multiple knights you can also use them at the same time. If you really gave THAT much gear you could form an army.

If Arms Appropriation worked a bit more like this I would create at least 1 set for 1 knight. I'd probably make him a Recon Ranger. That way I wont need to mourn over my lost piercing weapons. Instead I can invite my very own 5th Recon Ranger to Heart of Ice so it can use them for me!
