Skyforge smith hammer - visuals too mundane, should be improved? (Updated)

NoTimeToWait

Don't you think that the hammer is a bit plainlooking and dull for an achievement that will take around 800+ hours to get in-game without throwing gold on left and right(50 motifs learned, 100 Master writs completed, weapon and armor traits, maxed out Jewelery and other professions, 100 Provisioning recipes learned). Maybe add some visual effects?



UPDATE:

• Feedback received on the new Outfit Style, the Skyforge Smith Hammer (obtainable by completing the Grand Master Crafter achievement), sparked some inspiration in us. We've added a lightning effect to this hammer's visuals.

After finally seeing this picture, I like the look, but I would also like every weapon to get visual effects like fire or lightning.
This one seems like it needs some lightning so I can finally have Mjolnir.

That was epic!
Although, why he had to get nearly naked is beyond me, but maybe they wanted to make him naked but they had to censor it. Also, "that's a very big...hammer you have there" was the first one-liner I thought of when he posed and "enlarged it".

Yes, they should rework it completely

Looks like vendor trash to me

Lol. That's exactly what I had in my mind. Also, the smaller version of the hammer looks a bit like a dwemer artifact called Sunder from TES3 (which I was actually hoping to see someday as a style item)

eso_nya

No, it is fine as it is. I am satisfied

I like simple styles. And apart from ppl who have the achiev aswell, noone will know what it is, nor care anyways.

NoTimeToWait

@eso_nya True. But if bragging is a moot point, why I would prefer to have this skyforge style applied, if I can have the BA sword style or another decent one-handed motif applied (and surely among those 50 motifs you are going to have something better suited to your taste)?

Not even close to sunder.

Well, in the original Morrowind, it was quite low-poly. But anyway something like this would be awesome

Well, it's a smithing hammer after all, not a ceremonial item...

I also think they should make this achievement give styles for all weapons, or at least bow, 2h and staff as well as the 1h. Most of my characters never use 1h weapons.

Mages guild should have a staff and fighters guild a 2h sword etc.

WTB Blade of Woe 1h weapon appearance.

Problem is, if they rework it to be really cool looking or have some nice visual effects, then it would have to be a Crown Crate item only because come Update 18, anything really cool looking has to be in the Crown Store.

Carbonised

Yes, they should rework it completely

Honestly the hammer looks super boring and bland, and I doubt I will ever use it, despite getting the title as soon as I have leveled up jewelrycrafting.

The achievement and title is nice, even though it's only "Master crafter" and not "Grand Master Crafter" as the patch notes imply. The hammer, however, is very meh. You're giving us a blacksmith hammer even when there are 6 other crafts that really have nothing to do with smithing. Also, many of us are master crafters on characters we also use frequently in combat and for other content, I can't imagine seeing myself ever use that hammer in combat, plus, my main and master crafter is a staff user, so she can't even use it to begin with.

Guess you shouldn't complain over free stuff, but there is my feedback on the new item, which is what the PTS is for anyway.

They should add also something for magicka master crafters...

Recremen

I haven't checked it out on the PTS yet, but it looks pretty neat here and I like the direction of having more rewards for the big dedicated efforts. Makes me kind of sad that it takes hundreds of hours to get one thing and that so much other cool visual stuff is getting locked behind a gambling paywall, though.

Lol, I love how my terrible, way too high poly mesh of sunder for Oblivion is getting referenced over the actual sunder from tes iii

I don't mind the look of the hammer, it's a little plain, but I think people are associating it with the high elves, despite the name (Skyforge, from whiterun)
A more mjollnir sort of look would be cool, with a shorter handle, but either way, it's not terrible.

This far into a thread about the visuals of something and there is no pic of said thing?

Fischblut

Yes, they should rework it completely

I don't have any in-game mace style I like so far... I don't like this simple hammer as well, really disappointing

It's literally in the original post mate. Might wanna get some better glasses.

I don't see anything, I am on my phone so.

Gnortranermara

I like it quite a lot, actually. There are plenty of flashier options if you want to look cool. This is a tasteful, subtle status symbol for people who have mastered a small aspect of the game.

Edaphon

The hammer now has a visual effect.

NoTimeToWait

Yes, they should add some visual effects

Now that is really awesome. My cats wouldn't like it, but my heavy-built redguard will do some incredible things (like getting the achievement) for pair of those

@Edaphon btw, how did you manage to get all jewelry traits learnt in time? I am not sure the requirement to learn all jewelry traits was there when the achievement was introduced

Yes, they should rework it completely

for sure. it looks like a flat blurry texture. a little small and basic.

Arciris

Yes, they should rework it completely

Handler is way too long, it looks like a maul or a mace, not like a hammer.

Handler should be half the length, the hammer itself 2x bigger in width to look like an actual hammer.

I was hoping for a more noble material, something unique, maybe fallen out of the stars
... oh well

I made jewelry with every trait with a template chracter, sent it to my crafter and then used crown research scrolls (they're free on PTS) to complete the research immediately.

Since this is a very complex achievement that requires a lot of effort, time and resources, the rewards should be multiple.

- a costume / hat
- some unique furnishings
- the hammer with lightning
