Tailor/Blacksmith editting armor.

[Pool]

It's been a thing of mine where alot of people look whacky or down-right out of place when wearing armor of sorts. I made a similar thread awhile back, but it was mis-understood and forgotten. I have noticed however there is such thing as re-forging, and it has inspired an idea in me that came from the tailoring system.

What I'm suggesting is; in the Market place of Mistlocke (or other areas in Old Stones/Faction Areas/what have you), there should be an area to edit the equipment you're wearing without having to belong to either house (Aberdenn or Caermyn) as they're the only ones who seem to have the re-forger.

Are you a full-plated Adventurer joining a band of swordsmen who're all taking oaths to defend a up-coming settlement and want to wear a tabard as a sign of your dedication? Go to the stall, change the chest-piece on your full-plate to the tabard piece.

Find a helmet that; while being defensible does not suit the outfit such as a spiked Barbarian helmet being combined with a robe? Go to the stall, change it out to something that your character would wear while retaining its stats, RP it off as either re-tailoring the cloth/leather hat or forging a piece to bolt down to that helmet, be it spikes, the plumed center piece or face-guard for that bowl-ish helmet.

Find a cloak that is really beneficial but for some reason has the symbol of Cyric on it, or has an odd fitting shoulder/neck set-up? Go down to the stall, get its model changed, RP it off as tailoring over the symbol or removing/stuffing the areas that don't fit well with cotton.

Find a robe that suits you, but its missing an entire sleeve for no real reason? Go to the stall, change the right arm as if you were making an outfit with the tailor and match it with your current one, RP it off as another sleeve that was tailored in a mirrored fashion to the one that exists and have it stitched on.

While this shouldn't be free, a reasonable fee should be present for the NPC to make a profit and to cover the material cost to add on to that outfit.

From this, you could help keep a standard-issue equipment appearance amongst factions or prepare a unique appearance for a up-coming Bard or Duelist.


If you're looking about 'how' it would be done, a simple replication of the tailoring system can be done. Pick the slot the equipment occupies, give it the drop-down list similiar to the dying list and allow them to pay for it. Dye for the equipment shouldn't be included.
