An idea to buff crafting in light of new dropped set saturation

So, the idea would involve a new tab on the weapon/armour crafting menus: "Replicate". Under the replicate tab, you would be able to take any dropped set item in the game and re-create it (destroying the original item in the process) in any style you know, in any trait you know. So, for example, if I am awarded Velidreth shoulders, heavy, prosperous, and have 9 triats in heavy shoulders, I would be able to replicate this item in divines, altmer if I wanted. The cost of replicating would be the same as ordinary crafting, so it would cost 130-odd rubedite ingots, a sapphire and a style material to make.

Being able to replicate set items in this way would allow crafters the ability to utilise their hard-earned motifs, as opposed to being stuck with the style in which certain sets drop, and would circumvent the training/prosperous scourge, provided players had taken the time to do their crafting research which, in the current climate of dropped sets, is growing less and less important by the day.

    Nah, Monster sets should stay as they are.

    This is a great idea - perhaps have it consume more than one trait and style mat, because we all know those are a dime a thousand.

    There is no reason, using my idea, that your monster set should have to change. Just keep it as it is if you like it that way.

    To give an example, I am running Black Rose and Velidreth on my stam sorc. This means I have no choice but to don Aldmeri Dominion and Bug-Face styles (I turn on hide helmet, which helps). In my opinion, the combination is hideous, so I wear a costume all of the time. It makes no sense that I would have to take a dps and sustain hit to dress in the Daedric style, for example.

    Everyone and their brother is complaining about the trash traits, so this is just an alternative to dropping/changing those traits- reward crafters instead!

    Just my opinion anyway.
