Furniture: Weapon / Armor stands

[TimGoodacre]

I'd love it if we could have weapon and armor stands in our houses to display gear that we fought hard for but don't want to or can't glamour (e.g. the Odin gear). So an armor stand would be a dummy that you can equip with gear (removing it from armory chest) much like you can in a gear set or with a retainer (obviously limited - you wouldn't want to be able to equip soul stones etc). There could be specialised ones like a table-top mannequin head that you can only equip necklaces on... Or a more general glass jewellery display cabinet with a number of slots for jewellery items.

Similarly, weapon mounts could come in different forms - a multi-weapon wall-mount, for instance, holding up to 3 swords/staffs/etc horizontally.

All this would serve a few purposes. Obviously, these would look great in our houses. Also, it would alleviate a lot of the inventory problems people are having with gear that they want to keep but not necessarily wear.

Kewl A display dummy to equip armor on, or wall holders to display weapons on. Love it. Wish they'd also add a 2nd basement complete with chains, a little jail, and a table just long enough to stretch a lala out o-..wait whaaa?

[TimGoodacre]

A lala torture chamber also has merit lol.

Would be nice to have some way to display armour and weapons within the house. Be like bragging rights when you can display a complete set of primal bows or a full set of a particular armour.

Plus a suit of armour just looks cool as a piece of furniture.

[TimGoodacre]

Yep all of that. I think it would makes houses more personal - a map table does say that you ran SV HM a helluva lot. But it's not a single direct achievement in the way that a weapon or armor piece is.

[TimGoodacre]

One thought I have on this is that SE would want to prevent this from being a way to circumvent untradeable items (e.g. I put something on a mannequin that is untradeable and someone else in the FC takes it off). Two approaches are a) Make this a personal-house-only item (a new idea, but not impossible I guess), or b) allow only the person who equipped a stand/dummy with a given item to remove it. The second one could get messy - e.g. someone leaves an FC. Just thinking aloud. I still want my armor stands

[Thegide]

Or simply treat them as glamorable items... in other words, the mannequin doesn't actually wear the gear, just takes on the appearance of whatever gear you "equip".

[ruskie]

There has been an idea floating around that you craft that item into a display item. This it would not be reusable then...

[TimGoodacre]

Both glamming and permanently converting the item would work I guess, although neither would be my preference. The latter option wouldn't be without its problems. Is this a crafting job? If so, does the resulting item become tradeable? If so there would be a huge variety of such items (whereas a simple stand with some equipability would be a small simple set). Just thinking aloud about how it might work...

To be fair, there are a lot of details that would need careful thought. E.g. how would a weapon wall mount treat a picatrix or dagger vs a sword or staff, do armour dummies come in different sizes (lala - roe, for instance)...

Make it available only in personal rooms and private housing, solves the issue of untradability.

If retainers can wear our armor to go hunting, I don't see how mannequins wearing our armor can't be put in our personal rooms in the same manor. Think like vendor permits.

Would of course be interesting to see 50 mannequins wearing all the HA, sol, myth, etc armors of all classes inside one room. That would be 10000 achievement points!
