Appearance Items = Appearance Schematics

[AmagonofBloodfin]

basically a pretty simple way to get crafters actually into the market and bring the obsolete crafting classes back into the fold. It should be pretty simple too.

 

For example:

 

• Instead of getting a physical piece of armor, you get a schematic
  
• Allow that schematic to be traded in person, with an option for the item to be traded for crafting. (basically meaning once traded to the crafter for the purposes of crafting that schematic could only be traded back to the original owner, and not be deleted.)
  
• you could also add crafters the chance to pickup unique drops from unique named mobs throughout the worlds (including world bosses) which would additionally augment armor crafted by the crafters. In my version these would be more exotic and not simply stat bonuses that make them essential.
  
• those drops could also change the physical appearance of the item to reflect the unique modification.
  
• you could also allow general models of speeders to be released instead of unique colors, thus allowing cybertechs to produce paint jobs and styles. you could also add speeder improvement modifications from cybertechs that will improve mount speed. similarly biochemists can provide chemical components to improve creature mounts speed.
  

 

just a few ideas.
