MCsquishy's Devoloper Item Idea Thread

[Yagmoth]

The purpose of this thread is to present creative items to the devolopers we as a community would like to see in the game. I will update as often as I can and especially on fridays. I work from 2 to 10pm Mountain time. I am aiming for a sticky on this thread. Special Thx to Kistilan for the idea to put thread here and make it useful to developers with balancing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A) Please follow these rules for posting new items as they will help keep the post organized and up to speed:
1) Post your comments on previous items posted by other users. See below to B) for what to comment on.
2) When you post your ideas for items, post 1 to 3 items. 3 might even be too much. I will have to see if the community wants 2 or even 1.
3) Keep your items within the LV 1 - 20 powerlevel. Do not feel like you must create the uberest most powerful items, simple low level item ideas are some of the hardest and most creative to make.
4) DO NOT post an item if your previous items have not been balanced by the community.
5) DO NOT post new items if you see the Red Light status on the thread summary page (summary page = first reply by me) as that means we have far too many items to balance and need to stop posting new items until you see the Green Light (Go ahead and post 3 item ideas after you give balance comments on other people's items) or Yellow Light (same as green but only post 1 item idea).
6) NO joke item posts or any such shenanigans. Keep it real peeps!
7) Follow this general item template:
Item Name = ex. Silver Bow
Item Type = (Plus factor and type of item) = (+2 Longbow)
Found in - This denotes where the item can be looted and at what rarity. Locations are out of breakable, questchest (any chest in the quest), raid questchest, endchest, raid endchest, single quest endreward, single quest raid endreward, static quest series endreward, static quest series raid endreward (Each quest in series is a raid) and crafted (This is a special found in you will have to explain.) Rarities I will use here are common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and exceptionaly rare. I have no idea the chances items drop now so I will leave these rarities without numeric values that the devolopers can hopefully use. Leave this blank if you have no idea and the community can flesh it out. Ex. Silver Bow is LV 9 Endchest and even has specific quest the Church and the Cult
MIN LV Required - Give it a try. This is quite hard to do. Example Silver Bow is 6.
Changed basic values if any = ex. Crits on 19 or 20 like silver bow or maybe it does the damage of a bastard sword but is treated like a shortsword like Sunsword, ect.
Attributes already in DDO = ex. holy, acid, ect
Your own new attributes and what each does
Any other information not named in an attribute = Critical hits deal an additional 3 damage or Prevents 50% damage you take from kobolds
Clicky = ex. LV 3 Web 5X
Flavor Text in [ ].
8) Please refrain from using attributes others have already created in this post but if you have an awesome idea for an item using a previous attribute, then you must give the original poster credit in your post.
9) Ignore any posts that are inflammatory, negative, or do not contribute to the item idea thread in any way.
10) Do NOT edit ur own items once you post them unless it is to fix spelling, punctuation, or such. Take a long time to make sure you posted your items stats and such correctly. This is because you might be editing while someone else is posting a quote that wont make sense if you edit. IF you want to propose a change for your item, then do it with a post reply.

Here is a blank item template that I will also use for balanced items so all items have the same format when done:
Item Name:
Item Type:
Found in:
Min LV:
Changed Basic Values:
DDO Attributes:
Your Attributes:
Other specials:
Clicky(s):
Flavor: [ ]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B) We as a community will need to hammer out the balancing for each item posted. Please post comments on each item according to the following questions:
1) Does this item exist already in the game and hence the item is redundant
2) Does the item make sense? (ex: A vorpal longbow with slicing blow or a Holy Bastard Sword only usable by non-good would not make sense.)
3) Is the item overpowered?
4) Is the item underpowered?
5) Is the MIN LV the author posted about right? IF not, then what is the min LV that should be required on this item?
6) Is the found in chest LV about right? If not, then what level of chest would one find this item? Should this item be raid loot? Crafted only?
7) Your other thoughts on the item. Did you like the item idea? Dislike? If disliked, can it be fixed? Should item should be scrapped?

Here is a blank template you can copy paste for your comments:
My balance thoughts on posted by :
1) Does item exist already? =
2) Does item make sense? =
3) Is the item overpowered? =
4) Is the item underpowered? =
5) Is the MIN LV about right? =
6) Is the found in about right? =
7) Explain 1-6 comments =
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C) Once I see the community generally agrees an item is balanced, (This might be hard bear with me) I will add it to the list below meaning no more comments are needed on it and the original item poster will get credit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current fully community balanced item list:

[Kistilan]

I'm excited about this idea for a Sticky. I'll gladly start adding 1s and 2s of item ideas for balancing provided the rest of the community is interested. This is a much better diversion than a lot of the recent threads. *L*

My only suggestion is this: Explain the terms Underpowered & Overpowered, as a +5 Longsword wielded at level 1 requirement IS overpowered, but a +5 longsword with a level 20 requirement IS Underpowered (providing no other unique attributes to the item).

And give a sample template on 1 item that you think would illustrate "How to post a useful item" so there is a temnplate on what to insert as the details of the item.

Like So:
Sunsword +2 Longsword, Righteous (I'm making this up, no idea what the stats are on the Sunsword)
LVL REQ: 8
DMG 1d10+2 x2 (19-20)
Special: A sword that emits a bright vibrant light upon command, blinding nearby opponents with its glaring light (3 uses per rest). This blade, due to its nature of positive energy and flame, deals double damage against the undead due to their inherent negative energy.

*NEW 12 MAY 08* I'm going to say new material-types would be a great thing, but should also be accompanied by a few specific items created with said material and the reasoning behind it. There is a Muckbane and Greater Muckbane item that does not take damage, so it's important to differentiate between the ideas. I do like the whitesteel and in a traditional PnP game I see it being highly useful. The question is, would that material be useful for DDO?

*YELLOW LIGHT* Item Creation at 1 per user til we get 20 items up! We got 10 + Items & 1 Composite Element on the Charts. (Great Method for post contribution, Yagmoth!) Format is getting cleaned up too -- looks good.

[fatherpirate]

I willl not suggest an item...rather a material.

White Steel
Slightly softer than Mithral...harder than steel

properties
Will not take enchantment...can be made mastercraft, but not magical
immune to rust, acid, fire or anything else that might harm a weapon <<unbreakable, undamageable..even by oozes>>
very light weight

When used for melee weapon, it reduces the weapons effective size class by 1 ie, a long sword would be classed as a small weapon,
and 2 handed weapons can be used as large 1 handed

cannot be used in bows

when used as bow ammo..increases ranges by 25&#37;

Bio

White steel is an oddity, it is an excellent weapon material but absolutely refuses to be enchanted in any form.
That, with a material cost of 5 times regular steel, one would think it was of little use, however there is a steady
market for White Steel weapon's from various specialists that either 'work' in hostile enviroments or often
have to hunt creatures that ruin lesser weapons. Also a few of the exotic fighting styles like that fact that
the larger White Steel weapons can be effectively used one handed when their steel counter parts are far to
heavy to try that.

Overall, they are not for everyone...but for the folks that use them never need fear a rust monster.

How about that?

[Yagmoth]

First of all, thx for the interest kistilian and fatherpirate.
Fatherpirate I did not anticipate material ideas and dont know if it belongs here or in another thread? What you think Kistilian?

The answer to your question kistilian is simple and you even stated it yourself. My template includes The min LV required to use the item so iF someone posted an idea for a +5 longsword MIN LV 1 then it is clearly overpowered while a +5 longsword Min LV 20 is clearly underpowered. I hope this answers that. Both ideas would also suck since +5 longsword already is in the game.

I am getting many views but only a couple of resposes so I am gonna assume my rules and balance questions are ok. I am gonna start this thread of with 3 items from my other thread all balanced me hopes. This also shows how I do them.

The Metamagic Band (Ring)
Found in: LV 10-14 extremely rare endchest
Min LV - 10
Concentrate + 10
Metamagic Affinity - All your metamagic feats cost 1 less spellpoint to use.
Metamagic Reflexes - For each metamagic feat you have active, you gain 1 dodge bonus to AC.
Metamagic Quickening - Turning on your metamagic feats takes 50% less time.
Metamagic Halo - If you have 3 or more metamagic feats active and have at least 100 SP, then this band emits a 15 foot radious DC 25 blinding flash centered on you every 2 minutes.
Metamagic Drain - You lose 1 SP per minute. IF you have 0 SP, then the metamagic band temporarily loses all other metamagic attributes.
[The symbols of the metamgic feats fashioned in platinum make up this band and glow when their user chooses to use them.]

General’s Don (Full Plate +5)
Found in: LV 12-16 extrememly rare warded endchest
Min LV - 12
Everbright, Adamantine
Born to lead - Whenever the leader of a party leaves, you gain the leader star. If someone else in the party is also wearing the General's Don, then the character with the highest CHA gets the star. If this is also a tie, then the highest level character between them gets the star. IF this is also a tie, then the winner of the star is determined at random.
Boon of leadership - While you are the leader of a 4 person or more party, you gain +6 CHA, Greater Heroism, and Greater Command (+4 to CHA skills, -10 hide).
Burden of leadership - Whenever you lose the star by promoting someone in a quest (You can promote out of a quest and not lose confidence), you lose confidence giving you a -1 confidence penalty to saves, skill checks, weapons attacks and weapon damage. You must complete a quest that gives you XP with the star to clear a confidence penalty.
[Most leaders are trained, some are gifted, and a few are born to lead but all these would take commands from the temporarily general suited in this armor.]

Thirstquencher (Greataxe +5)
Found in: LV 16-20 very rare static quest series endreward
Min LV - 16
Vorpal, Seeker +6
Whenever the first roll is a 1 on your attack roll or confirm critical roll, roll again and ignore the previous roll.
[Swings itself, you just have to carry it and aim it at necks.]

I have 100 more items to go thru if we get a dryspell. I like to create heh. What you think?

[sirgog]

Balance suggestions first:


The Metamagic Band (Ring)
Found in: 10-14 very rare endchest
Min LV - 10
Concentrate + 10
Metamagic Affinity - All your metamagic feats cost 1 less spellpoint to use.
Metamagic Reflexes - For each metamagic feat you have active, you gain 1 dodge bonus to AC.
Metamagic Quickening - Turning on your metamagic feats takes 50&#37; less time.
Metamagic Halo - If you have 3 or more metamagic feats active and have at least 100 SP, then this band emits a 15 foot radious DC 25 blinding flash centered on you every 2 minutes.
Metamagic Drain - You lose 1 SP per minute. IF you have 0 SP, then the metamagic band temporarily loses all other metamagic attributes.
[The symbols of the metamgic feats fashioned in platinum make up this band and glow when their user chooses to use them.]


My initial thoughts are that this item has too many small abilities. For instance, the 'curse' of losing 1sp per minute is so small it's basically irrelevant (may as well just make it that you have 10 less SP, would be cleaner and close to equivalent). Likewise the Halo procs so seldom (and also at times you cannot control) that it's hardly useful at all. The Concentrate +10 is also counter-synergistic with Quicken costing one less SP.

I'd change it as follows (note - this is a modest powerup on your original design)

Metamagic Affinity - All your metamagic feats cost 2 less to use.
Metamagic Quickening - Turning on your metamagic feats is instantaneous.
Metamagic Dodge - If you have 1 or more metamagic feats active, you gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC.


General’s Don (Full Plate +5)

It's unique, I see no need to change it.

[I]Thirstquencher (Greataxe +5)
Found in: 16 extremely rare endreward
Min LV - 16
Vorpal, Seeker +6
Whenever the first roll is a 1 on your attack roll or confirm critical roll, roll again and ignore the previous roll.
[Swings itself, you just have to carry it and aim it at necks.]

I like it, all I'd change is the name. No great ideas come to mind, especially as Sever is already used.





Now my items.

Item Name: Beguiler - +5 dagger
Found in chest LV: Raid loot, level 14 or higher raid
MIN LV Required: 14
Changed basic values: Increased damage (2d4)
Attributes:
Keen
Deception
Entrancing: When a target is critically hit with this dagger, it becomes the target of a Suggestion spell (DC 23, caster level 16)
Clicky: 3/day Symbol of Persuasion (DC 23, caster level 16)
[Crafted by the enchanter Myrmidral, this dagger was found to be far more effective at extracting information than any tortures.

Next item has been modified slightly for clarification purposes only
Item Name: Tyrant's Bane - +2 silver bastard sword
Found in chest: Uncommon drop in an optional chest of a level 16+ quest (tough optional - think Ghosts of Perdition). Drop rate ~5%
MIN LV Required: 16
Changed basic values if any - Increased base damage (1d12)
Attributes:
Holy
Evil Outsider Bane
Lawful Outsider Bane (Clarification - these two 'bane' effects stack - in other words against lawful, non-evil outsiders or evil, non-lawful outsiders this weapon deals an extra 2d6 damage and has an effective enhancement bonus of +4. Against lawful evil outsiders, it deals an extra 4d6 damage and has an effective enhancement bonus of +6)
Clicky: 3/day Banishment (caster level 16, DC 40, remember Banishment has an unusual save mechanic - this is the same as a 16th level Cleric with 26 wisdom and no relevant feats)
The paladin Argental crafted this sentient weapon to slay the pit fiend Kurgadamar. Long after the paladin's death, the weapon retained its searing hatred of oppressive evil.

[Yagmoth]

Hmm I was editing my own post when I got a reply for balance by sirgog. I am thinking how to avoid this in the future. I am gonna say absolutely no editing your own idea posts. You have to do it in a reply to post. What you think?

Oh I like ur clicky thing..ima make a template incorporating that.

[Yagmoth]

My balance thoughts on Beguiler posted by sirgog:
1) Does item exist already? = no
2) Does item make sense? = yes
3) Is the item overpowered? = no
4) Is the item underpowered? = yes
5) Is the MIN LV about right? = no
6) Is the found in about right? = no
7) Explain 1-6 comments = Love the concept but I am not so sure a DC 23 suggestion is going to affect many high level mobs. Wont they save almost everytime? Does the suggestion bypass SR? The 3x Symbol of Persuasion is pretty tight and since this is an AOE it might be about right with DC 23. I could actually see this as a lower level item maybe 9-12 with 1x symbol of persuasion and a DC 20-24 suggestion on a confirmed crit that bypasses SR. Love that you did flavor text for both of these.

My balance thoughts on Tyrant's Bane posted by sirgog:
1) Does item exist already? = no
2) Does item make sense? = yes
3) Is the item overpowered? = no
4) Is the item underpowered? = no
5) Is the MIN LV about right? = yes
6) Is the found in about right? = yes
7) Other comments = Just plain awesome all around especially if the DC works as you say. You have much more experience than me so Ill assume ur right. I approve this one fully.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think ur right sirgog about my band now that I look at it again; however I like the halo appearing every once in awhile blinding enemies. So I propose my new updated metamagic band:

Item Name: The Metamagic Band
Item Type: Ring
Found in: LV 10-14 extremely rare endchest
Min LV: 10
Changed Basic Values: -
DDO Attributes: -
New Attributes:
Metamagic Affinity - All your metamagic feats cost 1 less spellpoint to use.
Metamagic Reflexes - For each metamagic feat you have active, you gain 1 dodge bonus to AC.
Metamagic Quickening - Turning on your metamagic feats is instantaneous.
Other specials: -
Clicky(s): 3x Blinding Flash with an additional +x DC compared to normal Blinding Flash on items where x = the number of metamagic feats you have active.
Flavor: [The symbols of the metamgic feats fashioned in platinum make up this band and glow when their user chooses to use them.]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sirgog said to change the name of the thirstquencher but the thirstquencer likes blood to hit it and cutting off heads accomplishes this hence its name. Ima leave it!

My comments in Lightish Blue.

Balance suggestions first:


The Metamagic Band (Ring)
Found in: 10-14 very rare endchest
Min LV - 10
Concentrate + 10
Metamagic Affinity - All your metamagic feats cost 1 less spellpoint to use.
Metamagic Reflexes - For each metamagic feat you have active, you gain 1 dodge bonus to AC.
Metamagic Quickening - Turning on your metamagic feats takes 50&#37; less time.
Metamagic Halo - If you have 3 or more metamagic feats active and have at least 100 SP, then this band emits a 15 foot radious DC 25 blinding flash centered on you every 2 minutes.
Metamagic Drain - You lose 1 SP per minute. IF you have 0 SP, then the metamagic band temporarily loses all other metamagic attributes.

Likewise the Halo procs so seldom (and also at times you cannot control) that it's hardly useful at all. The Concentrate +10 is also counter-synergistic with Quicken costing one less SP.

I'd change it as follows (note - this is a modest powerup on your original design)

My Question for the change here is are these the ONLY Metamagic Attributes you change, or are you planning on these being the ONLY Metamagic Attributes you recommend on the band? Does the band need an SP/MIN Drain? Or does the drain need to be removed?

Metamagic Affinity - All your metamagic feats cost 2 less to use.
Metamagic Quickening - Turning on your metamagic feats is instantaneous.
Metamagic Dodge - If you have 1 or more metamagic feats active, you gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC.

I liked the Changes. The +10 Concentrate can go away.

I'd like to see the pulse requiring 75% mana or more at 1 min intervals, 50% mana or more in 2 minute intervals, and 25% mana or more for every 3 min intervals. I'd like to see the DC increase as the intervals decrease. So, a DC 24 every minute, a DC 26 every 2 miinutes and a DC 29 every 3 minutes.

Final Activation: 1x Clickie. Removes all SP remaining in user's spellbar. Deactivates ALL Metamagic Feats/Abilities. Debuffs Users Enchants of spell level 3 or below. Emits 50' radius Searing Light Spell ie "Sunburst," requiring all to make DC 32 or be blinded as per the spell. Undead in the area also take 3d6 damage from the positive radiant energy emitted.

*Increase Min Level to 14*

General’s Don (Full Plate +5)
Found in: 12-16 extrememly rare endchest
Min LV - 12
Everbright, Adamantine
Born to lead - Whenever the leader of a party leaves, you gain the leader star. If someone else in the party is also wearing the General's Don, then the character with the highest CHA gets the star. If this is also a tie, then the highest level character between them gets the star. IF this is also a tie, then the winner of the star is determined at random.
Boon of leadership - While you are the leader of a 4 person or more party, you gain +6 CHA, Greater Heroism, and Greater Command (+4 to CHA skills, -10 hide).
Burden of leadership - Whenever you lose the star by promoting someone in a quest (You can promote out of a quest and not lose confidence), you lose confidence giving you a -1 confidence penalty to saves, skill checks, weapons attacks and weapon damage. You must complete a quest that gives you XP with the star to clear a confidence penalty.
[Most leaders are trained, some are gifted, and a few are born to lead but all these would take commands from the temporarily general suited in this armor.]


It's unique, I see no need to change it.

I agree on General's Don.

[i]Thirstquencher (Greataxe +5)
Found in: 16 extremely rare endreward
Min LV - 16
Vorpal, Seeker +6
Whenever the first roll is a 1 on your attack roll or confirm critical roll, roll again and ignore the previous roll.
[Swings itself, you just have to carry it and aim it at necks.]

I like it, all I'd change is the name. No great ideas come to mind, especially as Sever is already used.

I agree, name change on the axe - great other than that. I actually liked the Guided Lopper name before.



Now my items.

Item Name: Beguiler - +5 dagger
Found in chest LV: Raid loot, level 14 or higher raid
MIN LV Required: 14
Changed basic values: Increased damage (2d4)
Attributes:
Keen
Deception
Entrancing: When a target is critically hit with this dagger, it becomes the target of a Suggestion spell (DC 23, caster level 16)
Clicky: 3/day Symbol of Persuasion (DC 23, caster level 16)
[Crafted by the enchanter Myrmidral, this dagger was found to be far more effective at extracting information than any tortures.

I like the idea of making these items more user-dependent. Since Intelligence is now becoming an Assassin's Boon, I'd like to have the DC 23 + Wielder's Int Modifier to be the crtical hit dc for the entrancing effect. Adjust level req to 16 if required. GREAT Item.

*EDIT* Editing myself here! Due to the nature of this item (persuasion), the DC 23 + Wielder's Cha Modifier may be more appropriate. Rogues rejoyce for haggling your enemies into fighting for you!

Item Name: Tyrant's Bane - +2 silver bastard sword
Found in chest: Uncommon drop in an optional chest of a level 16+ quest (tough optional - think Ghosts of Perdition). Drop rate ~5%
MIN LV Required: 16
Changed basic values if any - Increased base damage (1d12)
Attributes:
Holy
Evil Outsider Bane
Lawful Outsider Bane (these last two are intended to stack)
Clicky: 3/day Banishment (caster level 16, DC 40, remember Banishment has an unusual DC - this is the same as a 16th level Cleric with 26 wisdom and no relevant feats)
The paladin Argental crafted this sentient weapon to slay the pit fiend Kurgadamar. Long after the paladin's death, the weapon retained its searing hatred of oppressive evil.

Absolutely think this item is great. Regular Banes on Outsiders, or Greater Banes? I could even see this item as a level 14 item, not 16.

[Yagmoth]

We are getting some views but hardly any replies. I think this is my fault as the author with too many rules, balance questions, and so forth. I will soon try one more new post that is much more casual if we dont get more replies. I will also take the main lead in posting new items in this new thread as I have over 100 of them. The initial post of the new thread will include all items posted here.

Thx

I could actually see this as a lower level item maybe 9-12 with 1x symbol of persuasion and a DC 20-24 suggestion on a confirmed crit that bypasses SR. Love that you did flavor text for both of these.

I think the DC on the Suggestion is appropriate - it's the same as the DC on a Smiter, and they proc often enough to be good even at current endgame - in Rainbow of the Dark on elite, you certainly want someone using a Smiter in the group.

Myrmidral's Suggestion DC is 26 (10, +12 Cha, +3 spell level, +1 item), and I find that most non-caster mobs fail that save quite often (often enough that it's probably my #1 most cast spell when inside a quest, as you only need to cast Haste once every 3 minutes).

Numot's save DC on Symbol of Persuasion is 23 (caster level 15), and I find that to be worthwhile enough that I keep it loaded for everything except the Shroud (everything is immune there) and Running with the Devils Elite (hard you can land it occasionally, elite just isn't going to happen). This spell is actually at its best (in general) when it hits 40% of a pack of enemies rather than hitting 95% of them.

I like Punch's Club. It seems decently balanced, but we need caster levels on some of those effects, no? I would even consider this a Min LV 8 Item, not 10.


Item Name: Mattock of the Titans
Item Type: +2 Maul
Found in: Relic of a Sovereign Past
Min LV: 10
Changed Basic Values:
DDO Attributes: +10 balance, adamantine, impact
Your Attributes: "Disruption" vs. earth elementals

Mattock of the Titans seems pretty solid. I think maybe instead of +10 Balance it could give a +5 Reflex Skill Dodge Bonus to Earth Grab (Dex Check, right? If it's a balance check, keep it as a balance +10 Item). I would raise the min level to 12. This would be a pretty nice item overall.

[Venar]

Item Name: Strudy Wizardly Shaft
Item Type: Ingredient
Found in: End reward list
Min LV: 10
Changed Basic Values: n/p
DDO Attributes: n/p
Your Attributes: n/p
Other specials: Use in the Altar of Crafting with 2 Scepters to create a Wizardly staff (2h) that will sport the magical attributes of the 2 scepters. Min level is the same as the highest level of the 2 scepters. It also gain the vicious attribute, lose magical attack bonus (+0)and gain concentration +10. The final staff binds.

Flavor: Always annoyed me that casters in DDO dual wield silly weapons. I want wizards with staves! This would allows to transform 2 scepters into 1 staff. The vicious and lost of attack bonus is to avoid that people build insane melee staves. The concentration is there to make the staff better then the 2 scepters, since it loses swaping versatility.

I just got informed I misspelled the word developer in the title. That is terrible plus I just figured out how to use enhanced text. So Im gonna start this thread over again reposting everyone elses items with an update. Man i suck at forums but am getting better! I hope nobody gets mad about this. Im working on the next one now.

I like the item. I would like to suggest a SR 21 while wielding upon build completion to off-set the vicious and lost magical attack bonus. It would be nice to see the viciousness become something else, such as defender and makes the attack bonus a defense bonus instead with a penalty to strike instead of a viciousness attributed. The viciousness does make sense if you made this stave's lore a "Corrupted Item." Also, the name... sorta has two meanings, and I think it's funny. I don't know if Turbine would bite for the name. Min LvL Req seems decent.
