Submit your new item upgrade requests! Options

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.

Since the Helm of Clarity is more of a convenience item, does it have to consume a Permanency scroll?

The main idea behind permanency scrolls is to make "permanent" the effects added by potions and scrolls during the item upgrade. Since scrolls of Chatioc Commands are needed as ingredients to forge the helm, a permanency scroll is also added as an ingredient.

I see that it makes perfect sense in roleplaying terms but who's going to use a rare Permanency scroll to make it?


Anyway, here are a few ideas I thought of yesterday:

Belm
Rashad's Talon
Sword of Flame +1
Famir's Blade (LS+2 that adds 1 cold damage)
10,000 gp
----->

Belm +4
1d8+4, +1 Fire +1 Cold damage
+1 Attack per round

Druids have several new items so here's one for clerics only:

Ring of Holiness *change the game's script so you always get this for completing the temple quest
3x Turquoise Gem (for the good luck effect)
Ring of Protection +2
20,000 gp
----->

Defender of the Faith
AC+3
Saving throws +3
Bless user while equipped
one extra spell for levels 1-4
Usable by: Clerics (single/multi/dual)

Why should Bards get all the Lore?

Glasses of Identification
Potion of Insight (18 wisdom)
Potion of Genius (+4 int)
1,000 gp
----->

Potion of Obscure Knowledge
Imbiber gains a permanent +15 to lore

Great off-hand weapon for a bard:

Dakkon's Zerth Blade
Malakar (Katana +2 that gives +2AC vs slashing)
Medium Shield +2
15,000 gp
---->

Dakkon's Evolved Zerth Blade
1d10+3
AC: +3
1 Bonus 1-4 level spells
Speed factor 1

Ruby Ring
Scroll of Ruby Ray of Reversal
Beljuril (or Scroll of Limited Wish or Permanency scroll, anything kind of rare)
5,000
----->

Ruby Ring of Reversal
Cast RRR 2x day

Short Sword of Backstabbing
Ectoplasmic Essence (new item from Shadow Jailer or Shade Lord, could use vial of blood .BAM and change it to black)
4 Horn Coral gem
4 Potion of Power
Manual of Elaboration
30,000
---->

Short Sword of Backstabbing
*change it's .BAM to have a black blade
1d6+5
0 speed factor
+40% to hide in Shadows and Move Silently
+20% to all other thieving skills
Usable by: Thieves (single, multi, dual)
