Submit your new item upgrade requests! Options

[Sikret]

To all players who are playing Improved Anvil:

Please feel free to submit your item upgrade requests and suggestions here in this thread.

Requests or suggestions of item upgrades can be of two different forms: (1) you may mention an existent item's name in the game which you want to be upgradable. (2) You can also suggest a complete upgrade recipe by mentioning a list of ingredients and the new item's description.

New item upgrades will be added to the next version of the mod with the names of people who suggested or requested them.

EDIT: Please check the document "Items.txt" (available in the "documents" folder) to make sure that the item upgrade you have in mind is not already there in the mod and that your suggested upgrade is really a *new* one. Thanks.

Heh, no need to copy/paste. What I've said was based upon detailed studying of list. Yes, there is a lot of diamonds required and almost nothing (compared to them) of other high valued gems: two dozen of diamonds, ~ten RSs, very few sapphires and KTs, ~5 emeralds. Besides I see no use for last ones, since they are required for forges that unlikely will be needed. The same about "of Protection" things - there is a number +2 of them already in game.

In case it's still not clear - Charname's pack will always contain sapphires, emeralds, and RSs but not diamonds.

I suggest that you play the mod, Ardanis! (if you see what I mean)

Two of the upgrades which require totally 10 diamonds, are very difficult (and expensive) upgrades which require other hard-to-attain components. Your main problem for forging them will never be lack of diamonds but lack of their other and more important ingredients (and money as well):

Defender of Easthaven
Gnasher club
Two +3 Flails
six Diamonds
Ten Mithril Tokens
150,000 gp

-> Flail of Defending and Wounding +5

================================

Guildmaster's Dream +4
Dagger of the Star +4
Scroll of Improved Haste
Permanency Scroll
Four Diamonds
150,000 gp

-> Grandfather of Assassins +5

Now, if you decrease these 10 diamonds from the two dozens diamonds of the list, you will have 14 diamonds left which are required for other (less difficult) item upgrades. Are you actually playing the mod in practice? I don't see the point of complaining about the number of diamonds at all. They can hardly prevent a player from enjoying the game and the mod.
