muhaha, Jack allowed us to define items. He will regret this.

Before we go about filling out forms, I would like to mention I definitely want all these items in stacks of 3, so Vaelis could use the "Chalassa set" if he wanted, etc.

Also what's the goal here, complete outfits for every character? I thought Jack said like 4 items each

[jack1974]

I said 4 items if *I* had to do it. If you want to do it, you can add as many as you want well, maybe not too many otherwise game could be too easy. I think a full set for each char could be good.
Remember that in ACT3 the players are supposed to get their unique/best weapon. But we'll figure that out later I guess.

[yayswords]

Oh cool.

Renke, can you haxxor your way to the item budget for each slot, for an item level of say 14?

[renke_]

If we're already discussing items (and as an example): We should do something about Slith, this thing is worse than the randomized start weapons of Jariel and Chalassa (so far at least, in 4 Act 2 plays)

- Name Dagger "Slith"
- Type Light edged weapon
- Damage 9
- Speed 5
- Defense 4
- Attack 4
- Magic 2
- SPRegen 0
- HPRegen 0
- Damage type Normal
- Critical hit 9%
- Price 500

-> What about HPR and SPR of 1? I generally like the idea of unique items giving regen

[yayswords]

I think Slith sucks because crit sucks. In most games you would probably drool over a weapon that gives 9% crit, especially when it can be used as a "stat stick" like in Chalassa's case if she stays in the back row. I am all for letting the casino virgins enjoy the sweet taste of regen, though be advised I would reroll a 1/1 regen weapon without thinking twice. It could be more

can you haxxor your way to the item budget for each slot, for an item level of say 14?

In Reptilian/Orcish or translated?

[yayswords]

I'm probably gonna end up saying "translated", but anything is fine right now

[yayswords]

Questions to consider:

What should the level requirements be? Should we simply "reverse engineer" them or just decide on a level?
Should all items have the same level requirement? It could be exciting to "build the set" as you gain levels, even if the items have the same item level.
How many slots should be fillable?

Also I definitely would want names tying them together. Like for example items in a "leather speed set" could be called Sand Dervish _________. Bring forth the creativeness.

Since we're saving Jack so much effort, he should try to implement set bonuses instead of coding act 3!

[jack1974]

Haha no no, no set bonuses please!
As for level I create it when I create the item, so you don't need to think about the level, I'll set to match the player's level.
I can upload some examples of the max / more powerful items you can get in the game, though I think you should do a set based on act first.

Like act2, create a set of items that are good for act2. Act 3, etc. I wouldn't do the "super item" in act2, otherwise people would have nothing to shop in next acts!
