The GOLGREN Boots of Mass Destruction

[LostKnight]

New Boots: The GOLGREN Boots of Mass Destruction

Code: Select all

BOOTS	GOLGREN's Boots
 MOVE_SPEED:1.5    PRICE:???
 DAMAGE:2000       ARMOR:1500
 LEVEL:2000        FOR_RANGED:0
     Walking speed +1.5

Why should LK be the only one to have them?

_______________
In theory, it's a part of the LK StoryLine

[Leone]

Erm...bring down the level and I'm in.

In fact I'd do with the Leone boots of swiftness for archers of any level.

[LostKnight]

Actually there are boots at lvl2000 so maybe 1500 ? or 3000

It's an idea since as the story goes I already have one! Need to get GOLGREN to 'empower' the other one.

Maybe a RL$ "Enrichment" pill that adds DAM, ARM, DEX stats to an existing item you have that is a ONE time ever purchase like the extra backpack.

Not something outrageous ... take the: Boots of Souls

Code: Select all

                    Enriched
MOVE_SPEED:1        1
    DAMAGE:40       +10
     ARMOR:40       +10
  DXTERITY:         +10
     LEVEL:500      500
FOR_RANGED:0        0
Walking speed +1

And since it's a one time only thing, it would be something people would think about before applying.

[SellSword]

A one-time thing like only one could get one total in game? Or a one-time use item with the possibility (not sure how remote or expensive) of getting another down the road?

Option one is great if you have top of the line boots, but option two means you might be inclined to upgrade your 500 boots, 750 boots, etc. Option two could also be a cash/gold sink depending on how it is implemented.

[LostKnight]

Here's the thing. If it is as per the OP, they are boots. Like any other boots in the game. Maybe drops or buy in a shop, whatever.

But if it is something like my second post; an "Enhancement" - I suppose it could be applied to "any item" and each character could only ever buy 1. Just like the extra backpack.

So I enhance a pair of 500 boots. At 750 I sell the boots, they are still enhanced when I sell them.

But "I" cannot enhance any other item in the game - ever!

Now that is getting away from my main idea: GOLGREN Boots of Mass Destruction.

LVL 1500 maybe?

[Leone]

Like it mate

[SellSword]

Agree with Leone that it's a neat idea. Two parts for that too:

If, as the OP suggests, it would be a piece of new gear, then why not go with it? Lots of gear is named after players, so no reason not to do that. Why not honor someone who has been a big part of the game, along with a wink and nod towards the forum? I know GOLGREN has already been built into the storyline though, so no idea if that lowers the possibility of something like that happening.

The second suggestion is a bit more general, but I think would be an easier option as well. I know "enhancement options" have been floated before, but usually like spells or potions for in-game use as I recall. Something like a non-stackable strength potion that provides an hour of 10% boost to strength (with or without an impact on PvP) or something like that is neat. The option to do that with gear (just boots?) permanently, not as a limited boost, is another avenue to explore. It wouldn't quite be like adding a +1 how that works right now in the game, but something else. (Maybe you can't enhance +1 or +2 gear as it essentially already is, assuming LK's idea would be for more than just boors.)

[hungry_wolf]

Could be nice a 'eat ability' too

[LostKnight]

The second idea "enhancement" was for any piece of gear, not just boots.

And not something "major" either ... more like "honing the edge of a knife"
