Idea** Monster Trophies + Weapons = Awesome Visual Effect

Okay so I've had this idea before, but never really mentioned it on the forums. The idea is basically to be able to farm a certain monster trophy (for example the "Smoldering Emberheart" from Flame Atronachs) and be able to add them to our weapons to obtain a cool and interesting visual effect that stays on the weapon permanently unless you some how took it off or swapped it with another monster trophy.
The visual affect would be purely cosmetic and could look similar to how equipped poisons are, or perhaps Moondancer/IA weapons. Basically, each Monster Trophy would have its own visual effect. For example, the "Smoldering Emberheart" from Flame Atronachs would make your weapon(s) have a constant fire around them, or the "Everfrost" from Frost Atronachs would give you icy weapons.
The monster trophies are already bound, so each player would have to go out and farm them. Perhaps they could put the trophy on a BOE weapon then sell it, but either way it would still be fine because players would more than likely love this.
I think this would be the best reason to keep the trophies that are dropped. Either way ZOS, we need something new and interesting with monster trophies other than just looking at them and then selling them lol. I think this idea would be a perfect solution. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert

✭I think this is a fantastic idea. I realize it would probably put even more stress on the servers and frame rate would likely suffer, but I wonder if there’s a way others could toggle seeing others’ effects similar to seeing friendly AoE’s, etc.
If nothing else, I would love to see them devote an artist to create a 3-D rendering of the overland monster trophies and rare fish to make them into furnishings.Feric51

doslekis✭✭✭We need the servers for more flashy crown crate mounts
Yeah right, my apex wolf mount takes at least a minute to appear compared to my normal wolf mount.
Riding in a group in cyrodiil looks like a band of psychedelic futuristic hippies with all the flames, frost, lava, and footprints shooting out the arse of every mount.
Last thing we need is multi colored staves and 2hers, as cool as that would be.I don't normally use daggers, but when I do, I choose dos Lekis.0 -

Wasn't you at one point able to sell those? Why did they change them to bound on pickup?
**sorry I know that's off topic but yes it would be cool to have a reason to collect these other than the achievement. Some are super hard to get.0 -
