Sentient weapons learning from what they eat

[archerforever]

Hi all, I already posted the same thing here https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post6040363
but i really think that they r missing something with sentient weapons and I hope that my suggestion will be seen and appreciated.

In the actual system for sentient weapons, I dont need anything about it, effects and sets are weak and really bad for my 30+ lives character .... and it s really sad cause it was intended to keep players at level cap but it s not doing the job... And sentient weapons should be able to get sentient XP with common trash loot LVL 30 weapons, cause it s a shame to think that some VERY RARE named weapons from quests and Raids will be consumed to feed them... lot of drama incoming... and getting XP with lvl 30 common weapons makes players to stay on high level.
If you really want us to stay on level cap and enjoy it, sentient weapons should be able to learn effects from weapons/Items they eat !!!

For exemple, if my sentient weapon eats a TF weapon with mortal fear, it should be able to learn it ( and peoples will do that raid again !!!)
If my sentient weapon eats a Legendary green steel weapons to get legendary ice, vaccum or salty for exemple, it should be able to learn it. Cause it will consume a full green steel weapon, destroying the item, destroying all T1,T2 and T3 crystals, to get the special weapon bonus effect.
If my sentient weapon is a bow and eats a pinion, it could be able to become a 18+ crit roll bow.
And we can imagine that if my sentient weapon eats a named item with ghostly (even an armor, gloves, boots, bracers, ect...) it should be able to learn it !!!

In that case Sentient Filigree Slots should have a level restriction for the effect they steal / learn /eat from a weapon
