please allow crafters to convert dropped armor styles and traits

Gilvoth

please allow Master Crafters to change the style of the dropped armor and also the dropped armor traits.

Cogo

Um, no.

Runschei

yes

Oh yes please. Some styles are hideous. But I'd rather not change traits.

Kodrac

Style yes, it's iffy on the trait tho.

Nemesis7884

yes

style yes, traits no... there should be some kind of transmogrification... its simply very outdated not to be able to change your look...and very half arsed regarding costumes and coloring... they can still require you to obtain the style you want to transfer into first of course...i don't really see any drawback either for the economy nor for Zenimax

jircris11

yes

no on trait yes on style

emily3989

Traits make sense. Styles make no sense. If we are going to go the realistic route

Arthg

no

Style is the only added value of crafted sets at the moment, why make them even more useless?

Shanjijri

yes

Yes but only to change the style. I do not like to farm, but be able to change the trait sound too easy.

smokey13a

yes to style, no to traits and everyone should be able to do it, not just master crafters.

Ghettokid

no

Yeah sure, we need to get even the few last people who use crafted armor, to change to dropped sets. What a great idea. I like this much more than idea of buffing/adding more crafted sets.

Shanjijri

yes

But dropped sets are better than crafted. I miss my Julianos and its Outlaw style, but I think my teammates prefer I wear SPC and Worm.

Smmokkee

No to style YES to traits.

Aimora

yes

Yes to style - make it something master crafters can do - to maintain the need for crafting, it could be a glyph like items that when used transformed our item to the style crafted into it, but I don't think it is a good idea to be able to swap traits

Lynx7386

yes

It would make my 160+ points into crafting skills actually worthwhile if I could change the style for the dropped sets I'm forced to use.

Don't think trait changes are a good idea, but style definitely.

Floki_Vilgerdarson

no

No trait changes, that would make it too easy.

Marktoneth3

yes

All yes

Narthalion

yes

Style yes, trait no.

Or at least, not the standard traits that drop on gear currently. If they created a system wherein crafters had exclusive access to a newly added trait...then maybe it would make sense to let them apply that to a drop.

Also, recommend that modifying the style of an item should bind that item to the account. It should be a reward for the player who crafts, not a new thing for people to spam /zone to request someone do for them.

Danksta

yes

Yes to style, but why limit it to dropped sets?

AlienSlof

yes

Yes, YES, YES!!!

Right now, there's little point to motifs and so many of the dropped sets are of pretty basic styles.

Reverb

yes

Yes on style, no on trait.

xXMichonneXx

yes

I've been saying forever that if you are a crafter and want to change your armor styles on dropped pieces you should be able to, as long as you know that particular style. Don't agree on the trait thingy though.

Espica

yes

Or change weight, as I mentioned in another topic. It would open the possibilities in many ways.
From Light to Medium to Heavy to Light...

Want BSW in heavy? Upgrade it to Medium then to Heavy.
It could cost the same material amount used to craft an armor piece, maybe even add the enchantment and style stones.

O_LYKOS

no

I agree with styles. but traits, no. I know people are forever grinding for the perfect traits but that's part of the game.

everybody instantly having the perfect builds they need wouldn't be good for the game I feel.

ThePaulrus94

yes

I read it too fast. Yes to style, but no to traits. That would make the grind way too easy.

P.S. Where's the dead horse meme?

cyclonus11

yes

Or at least have an appearance tab in your inventory like EQ2.

EldritchPenguin

yes

Something absolutely needs to be done with crafting, but forcing players to choose between power and aesthetics is a bad move. We shouldn't hold back the aesthetics of dropped sets because crafted sets are lacking in power. They're both lacking in their respective areas, and should be brought up in the specific ways they are lacking; dropped sets need to be easier to work with aesthetically, while crafted sets need a boost in their power.

Because as it stands motifs don't really serve much purpose unless you want to intentionally gimp your toon by not wearing any dropped sets.

If crafted sets were on par with dropped then it wouldn't matter as much. I don't consider the style of a crafted set to mean it is more useful. I guess maybe for those into rp it may be useful but we have so many cosmetic items besides motifs now that it is almost irrelevant.

Zuboko

yes

Technically they will kind of give you the ability to change armor styles with Morrowind. They will let you convert your existing armor to a new style, but it is just one (that I have heard) and just once (that I have heard).

Katahdin

yes

You would need to know the style to convert it to. This makes crafting knowledge more relevant

AlienatedGoat

no

No.

The entire point of crafting is to craft from materials. If you're not willing to commit to that, then don't craft and rely on RNG to get what you need. There are no shortcuts.
