I think it would be really great if spiral knights could release weapon and shield skins, so like we have costume skins but for specific weapons. So if you have a leviathan blade of r example you could get a skin for it like the lionheart honour blade like that except that there would be more variety and customization.
For shields you could have patterns to be added and stuff.

I have no idea how this could be coded.
I suppose that it could be something as simple as setting up a new variable governing what skin is applied to the gear.
But that doesn't remove the fact that quite a lot of man-hours are going to be invested in the actual coding, as well as the new skins. And all for what? A new aesthetic accessory on par with Accessories? Is it really worth it?

Scissor Blades.
Rather than a "costume", a new weapon with copy/paste stats. Maybe there could be an NPC that buys your old weapon and gives you the new one.
It is worth it because people will pay for it :P
I assume that this is something that you could use at Bechamel's (Accessory Attacher) to just add designs to equipment and stuff. Skins would probably be bought at the Auction House or maybe a Stranger in the Bazaar could sell it. Perhaps you could get unique skins in special levels? Like after beating Operation Crimson Hammer, you could get a Crimson Order symbol skin for a Darkfang shield.
