Suggestion: Restorable Relic/Mythic/Empyreal Weapons

[Kristal]

I think using an item flag feature would be very nice, essentially making an item un-tradeable/auctionable/droppable/sellable/losable, similar to Rare/Ex tags but in the inventory it is grayed out like equipped items. The catch to this being your total tag limit is 5-10ish items. This could be applied to any item from 99 legendary class weapons to lucky rarab tails (because sometimes TH9000 just isn't enough).

Personally, I'd use this feature for my wedding ring. Goddess knows no relic can save me from the HNM that pops if I lose it.

This would not be a player choice. It would involve items that take considerable effort and time to obtain, and/or have a specific iconic value. Preventing such items from being thrown away is far superior to methods of reclaiming them. So relics, BB, wedding rings, but not stuff like Toki's Harness or 4-leaf clovers. (Random % drops can make your life miserable, but they can also drop on first try, so VW drops simply don't apply.)

Actually, wedding rings should NOT be eligible for that feature due to the nature of Vana'divorce. While you may have found your heart's only desire for YOUR lifetime... well, other people might be suffering buyer's remorse once the honeymooning is over... (or maybe 'she' turned out to be a 'he'!)

While you're at it, please consider items like Black Belt as well, where there's obvious flags on a character to know whether or not you "should" have an item.

I might sound mean when i say this, but if you truly drop your E/M/R on "accident" after beeing asked a 2nd time if your truly sure....

I wont finish above sentence for obvious reasons. There are many more MORE relevant threads that could be answered than this one

I disagree, accidents happen, and Relics, Mythics, and Emps, are accumulations of weeks, or even months of work. People have accidentally dropped things of this value before & quit due to anger, frustration, and the inability to retrieve it. I myself would likely give up on this game if I were to accidentally drop my Excalibur when cleaning out my inventory, because it took 6 months for me to make, and Dyna made me very mad at times due to how many players act inside of Dynamis. Items which take such a large amount of work & effort should never be able to be dropped & not recovered by some means without going through the same process as was originally done to obtain it.

in the nearly 9 years i play this game i never have dropped anything on accident while clearing inventory. if you pay attention it wont happen. And if you DO drop it it goes without saying, that it is beyond common sense to do so. People who do have neither right to complain nor to blame others despite the hard work the weapons took to obtain.

Call me jaded, but I now find it amusing when people say "There's so much else they could be doing instead of this!" to an adjustment to the game, as if they were blaming the people that support/suggest an idea they don't agree with, when it's becoming more and more apparent the dev team just cherry pick threads for things they were already going to do anyway.

By the way, I say this from the perspective of someone who actually reads the JP forums every now and again. It's even worse on the NA side because we basically just get translations of what the dev team posts in Japanese a couple hours after when they post it, resulting in me wondering if the devs actually read a single thing the EN community team passes to them or they just do whatever the hell they want and have the EN community team just translate it and then deal with the disgruntled playerbase on their own.

So much of the mad on these boards could be solved if devs would just plain tell us how their responses to thread are handled so we actually can understand why they only seem to answer mostly inconsequential problems brought up by the players. Then we can focus on being mad at the nonsensical nature of the excuse "we can't change parameters of a world that we created".

O.o oops, i just dropped my E/M/R, may I please have another....... This just doesn't happen, an if it did, to me..... Lol no it just wouldn't, if you weren't careful enough to pay attention to something that took you weeks to build, then doom on you.....

Seriously, who wakes up and thinks this stuff up....

[Nawesemo]

O.o asking us twice if we are sure isn't good enough? It's a safety feature that works, this whole thread is about as silly as putting a safe, in a safe, and that safe in a vault, and paying someone to watch it, 42 posts about not being careful with some of the games most sought after items..... Be more careful. /end thread

[Kincard]

The problem with that safety feature is that it becomes useless because for people that play regularly the double confirmation becomes a nuisance rather than a safety measure, as it's applied to every single EX item in the game. If you had a open 2 safes to get your socks every morning you'd probably get into the habit of firing lasers to open them and run the risk of accidentally burning your map to the Ark of the Covenant at some point, yeah.
