By the way, I know the post originated with regard to weapons, but don't forget that weapons are not the only items which may be made.

True that. I made this post for fun. It's absorbed lots of diverse ideas, opinions, scrutiny, and help - which all makes for good reading. To the guys who posted their original ideas and knew where I was going with this, thanks for the read - good stuff. The names are many. To MANY of the ppl who contributed help in the making of some of these weapons and items, my thanks as well as the thanks of the requesters go out to you. To Memnoch, thanks for nudging me and I'm sure others in the right direction - I will get the hang of it one day...(k, I'll stop here since when I try to be thorough I'm more an (_!_) than anything)

. Azred, man dun know what to say [img]smile.gif[/img] Your insight has led a handful of ppl here to get into item creation for fun. Luvian, hehe, thanks man for all the help on that blasted dog. I did tell you I had like over 10 RL dogs right? I take the good with the bad when it comes to criticism. Props go out to Morgan for catching on quickly and sharing right after that. Cerek had some nice colors and a nice item too-"themey". The list of names is long since this thread is getting to be rather lengthy.
To ALL posters, thanks for contributing ideas. Be it uber items or not, my only care was to have ppl express their creative thoughts. If an uber item floats your boat then that's cool. I won't try to bash nor would I really want another to do so here, but different opinions make for unique dialogue. I do say to consider some limitations when it IS easy to make custom items. There is a point to be made when considering balance AND FUN FACTOR.
Azred has pointed out the upload site. I also suggest visiting that place once your custom item has been done/tested. Seems like once the ppl have gotten used to making items, custom shops will be opening.
If ya haven't alrdy done so, check out Sir Goulum's, Luvian's, and Azred's posts. If you are asking yourself what is the next step after completing your first game of SOA, think on how the next go would be, with a lil modding thrown in. I bet ya will get a totally different experience the second time around.
Now to get a handful of items created that a majority of players will find useful for ---(((SOA)))---. This was brought up in Sir Goulum's post.
I myself would like to see -NOT so overly powered items- introduced into the SOA game. We could discuss what items would be fit for SOA, when they could be found, prices, and the whole nine... This is no means to throw a task on someone's shoulders, but it would be fun to get opinions as to what items would be worthwhile to quest for and all that.
Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents since I was away for a few days.
