remember blueprints?

maybe have a super rare formula/blueprint that is the reward for one of those treasure maps you find while fishing.

then have the blueprint/formula make special items

like a blueprint for a hilt, or a blueprint for a counterbalance on a sword
and the blueprint would require like 50 mitrill and 20 meteorite (something reasonably difficult to come by) and such item would be 'combined' with your armor/weapon for enchancement.
and the pre-requisite for using the blueprint would be like min crafting skill of 90 in smithing or something.

I love this idea. Crafting 'recipes' that you can find, requiring not only standard resources, but other rare things as well to construct.

Only thing I don't like is the found during fishing thing. I think fishing probably gives enough uber things. But then again, im not so sure I like the idea of them being found in epics, either...Because you can already get wax tablets there, which is uber. They certainly shouldnt be found in the mines. Resources are enough of a benefit for the mines. Hrrmmm...

Maybe epics AND fishing? With the better ones found in epics? I don't know.

what about having a craft group for creating things from blueprints. So, the more proficient you are, the easier you can create stuff. But each time you tried unsucessfully, it would consume half the required materials to create the item.

the thought is this --

i dont want items people rely on, we can come up with other ideas for that, the idea, is that maybe once every couple months, someone will pull in their fishing line, and be like OMG, look guys, look what i found!

then they do whatever with it

2 more months later, someone else finds one... I want something rare, and cool, the maps you get from fishing give you money, like 6k generally, more loot would be cooler.

epics give you everything, tomes come in by the dozens, jade gems, blue diamonds, its kinda borderline crazy

6k? try ultras. please learn about fishing before saying things lke that.

and epics giving too many gems? wow, thats only what i have been saying for months. people only seem to agree with me when it suits them.

sorry, didnt mean to post something you agreed with
my bad
