Suggestion: Restorable Relic/Mythic/Empyreal Weapons

[Mirage]

You remind of the people complaining about the fact they white-bordered the 100 pieces.

That's because he's actually one of those who did .

I want SS's from people who accidentally drop or dropped REM, I want to laugh. Alleviation of personal responsibility is not the way to make things better. A side note: people saying that the REMs take lots of work (like omg!) "weeks or months to make!!!" makes the elderly FFXI player inside me want to scream.... try YEARS to make these weapons. To the droppers; I'll feel bad for you if I ever stop laughing.

Good evening!

We took note that some of you would like to have some of your most valued items such as relic, empyrean, and mythic weapons set in a manner that it would not be possible to accidentally drop. We spoke with the Development Team and it is likely possible to do this through utilizing item flags. However, please note that we must then determine what kind of interface should be used for these flagged items, how the server should handle this information, and other restrictions from the server and client. Taking that into consideration it may take some time to implement but please feel free to let us know your thoughts in the meantime!

well, I can see that. I certainly wouldn't want to be saddled with every relic horn (as an example) that drops in Dynamis, so having it lock them starting at stage 2 would be important. most of us have enough inventory -1 garbage as it is

Unless your making 2 relics at once you can do as I do, leave your finished stage at the NPC. I left each stage of my Excalibur at the goblin until I was ready to upgrade again so that I could never drop it, and I would not have it wasting space. Its more that once they are finished they should be restorable that is the problem, or at least, that is how it seems to me.

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.

Thats good for you, you never have had an accident on this game, others can't always say the same. I find it pathetic that so many people in this community are inconsiderate douche bags that would rather a persons Relic, Mythic, or Emp be gone forever rather than SE actually make a way to prevent such a thing.

I'm sorry I feel people should own up to their screw ups and learn to be more careful.

[Demon6324236]

No matter how careful you are, shit happens from time to time.

It's good that you're aware of some of your poor qualities. Apology accepted.

[Karbuncle]

You know, Sometimes I sit here, staring at my ceiling, contemplating how petty, childish, insecure, arrogant, and selfish the majority of people are, especially online. I think to myself, Perhaps I'm being too harsh? Then i come here, and well, I realize I'm not. It really is quite sad how a suggestion of such tiny scale that will have no distinct impact on any design structure of the game and would only serve to improve quality of mind within some relic holders is being met with such determined resistance.

I think what it boils down too is, People against the idea are likely relic-less, or adamantly foolish. Cause i assure you every one of you have lotted, passed, or tossed something of value in your past. If it wasn't such a big deal, Things like the 1-time Item Restore would not exist. Accidents happen daily.

Simple precautions aren't always enough to prevent it. Its no different than people purchasing 1 bynes for 100 prices in all technicality. People make mistakes. to Error is to Human. Its not a difficult concept, everyone messes up. Everyone.
