    Default A thought on Casting Items

    I had a thought.

    Adding higher tiers of the same casting improvement should increase the spell level affected.

    That is, if I get the improved X VI at tier one and then I do the same element for greater X VI at tier II, that should bump it up to VII instead of VI.

    This would let you choose to either mix and match (improved X VI + greater Y VI) or specialize (greater X VII).

    Sounds like a sound plan to help out the currently undesired spell damage boosts on the Green Steel crafting.

    The spell casting items (assuming one goes the same enhancement) should go:

    Improved (glacation, devotion, combustion et al) 6
    Greater (glacation, devotion, combustion et al) 7
    Superior (glacation, devotion, combustion et al) 8

    as the three upgrades.

    I am seriously still upset I made a devotion scepter that when it ends off is going to be worse than my darn superior potency 6 dagger I looted MONTHS ago.

    (Note: as a cleric I really do not care about something like a res clicky. I am a cleric and can cast raise dead at will.)

    Those are some serious upgrades tho Milkboy.

    Quite honestly I think it should have been

    Improved 7
    Greater 7
    Superior 7

    Superior 7 should be a stand alone tier 3 upgrade so that you could get other modifiers in tier 1 and 2.

    No more serious upgrades than the acid, acid burst, acid blast weapons (or any other element out there) being made.

    7 I could with since it would be of SOME value ... right now Greater POTENCY 6 items are a dime a dozen and Superior POTENCY 6 items are falling in the vale rare chests. What good is a raid item that covers maybe 3 spell types when you can rather easily get one that covers them all?

    note though i did not ask for potency.....

    if these are limited to one school, they should be powerful..... hence superior devotion or whatever glacation..... 8

    But see the problem is, if you just do all of then at 7, there's still no advantage to doing the same one multiple times.

    You can do Improved X 7, Greater Y 7 and Superior Z 7 and it doesn't make a difference.

    My proposal allows people to diversify (Improved X 6, Greater Y 6, Superior Z 6) or to focus (Superior X 8) and rewards the two different builds of items in different ways.

    Nope ... you didnt ... and NEITHER DID I! ... I simply pointed out that POTENCY 6 items are a dime a dozen now ... and the raid effect is a very sad 1/6th of that (or less).

    Yes ... while that is a better solution its also more complicated to code. Changing them from 6 to 7 is an infinitely simple change. I would be okay with either.
