So I have been playing for a while and the one thing i found to be a small issue is set items. Now don't get me wrong i love the set items and think they are great. The issue i have with them is that they look so off when mixing with the design of my outfit. now i could just use a costume but then i would be limited to what costumes there are. So I have come up with two ideas that would correct this.
1. Set Stones - these stones would drop about 20% less than the the set item and would work just like normal trait stones but have the set bonus with them. They would be bound on pick up and still allow the player to choose the style of armor/weapon that like instead of being stuck with what is already there.
2. Crown Item - allow the players to buy a crown item that would all the character to reconstruct the item to the style of they choosing(as long as they have the knowledge of the style and part). Now i would not let the item be too costly and come in two options: Single item 100 crowns or full 7 piece set 600 crowns.
Now if done you could go get that monster/set armor and make into the style of your armor so that you don't look like your wearing some odd piece.
