Magic/RC Update Idea

[Sir_Squab]

So, this is some idea I just started thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about it so I figured I'd write it down.

 

First off, for F2P:

 

Give them Mystic (perhaps a lesser form of this, but they need some type of real non-degradeable magic robes) ability to craft chaos runes (they still have to worry about revenants and the damned maze, whereas members can use the abyss or that non-wilde route with a different maze.) Boost the magic damage bonus of all normal magic staffs to 5%.

 

No special ideas up there. Now:

 

Rune Saving Enchantment: Not sure if this should be members or non-members, or where it should be obtained. Basic idea, there are 3 of these: hood, body, legs. You obtain the 3 of these enchantments (or just one of them if you want) and attach them to any magical equipment that you wear on your head/body/legs. This includes the Battle Robe set or Ahrims set. It saves the same amount of runes as wearing battle robes would (with a double chance of that when combining them WITH battle robes.) Add the SoL to this, and mages actually save a decent amount of runes. (I have no idea what to actually call this.)

 

Some ideas on where to get these "enchantments" (not entirely sure on the name): FoG; Mage Training Arena; Mage Arena; Runecrafting Guild. Depending on whether this is F2P or P2P.

 

Next idea: Rune-holding pouch (not sure on a good name for this either.) You unlock the ability to buy these at either FoG, the Mage Training Arena, the Mage Arena, or possibly the Runecrafting Guild. Not sure if this should be F2P or P2P either. Once you unlock the ability to buy them, you can buy them for a fixed, not too high amount - I'm thinkign 10k or 100k or something. This "Pouches" would be equipped in the arrow slot and would hold unilimited runes of two types. (Note: you have to PUT the runes in here. And I guess it wouldn't be unlimited, the limit would be the 2.3bil or w/e the limit is for the max amount you can have of a certain item.)

 

And this brings me to my next point: combination runes.

 

First off, give F2P the ability to make combination runes the way members do now - bringing a talisman along, a binding necklace so you don't fail, runes and rune essence.

 

Members rune binding: You bring along all the runes you want to change into combination runes to the altar of the rune you want to combine them with. (I.E. Bring fire runes to the air altar.) A talisman might be needed or you could use Magic Imbue. And the important thing, a Rune Guardian of the type of rune you brought with you. (So, to make Smoke Runes, you bring fire runes, a talisman or magic imbue spell and a fire Rune Guardian to the fire altar.)

 

Using the power of the Rune Guardian, between the "fire energy" and rune essence-ness of him, you can turn ALL the runes you brought with you into the rune you wish to make, or well combine it with. This makes combination runes much more useful (seeing as almost no one makes them these days.) You still need the runecrafting requirement to do this, but because you use the Rune Guardian, you receive little to no exp. Perhaps just a fixed exp for combining them no matter how many you combine. (This is to prevent it from being used to gain excessively fast exp.) If you want exp, you simply craft them the old way, with carrying rune essense with you.

 

Lastly, two new combination runes: the Undead Rune (chaos and death) or the Necro Rune (blood and death.) Perhaps 70-75 RC for the Undead Rune and 80-85 for the Necro rune? (Also not positive on the names.)

 

So, the idea behind this is to make P2P mage less crappy in general, and give P2P mages the ability to save a semi-high amount of runes, as well as not getting burdened with carrying multiple runes, (Unless your on ancients or something, but this still saves inventory spaces.)
