A good place to start with these would be using some of the examples from the Coalition Shops at their Headquarters. Unless they've been implemented already, and only Traders have access to that sort of customization.

Forged Items Prices

Could the different types of forged armor have different prices when sold to the pawnshop?

Currently, a pair of gauntlets (requiring 4 pounds of ore) will sell for the same as a breastplate (requiring 24 pounds of ore) with the price only being a reflection of their quality.

Always an idea to try and branch the Mercenaries, like some of the Guild seems to be set up as. Those who follow the more martial aspect, and those who follow the more leadership aspect? Mercs truly do seem somewhat, while not underpowered, dull in terms of their abilities. Especially the first load...

Group Abilities

So, I overheard a conversation on OOC a while back as to why anyone would ever bother actually hiring a Mercenary. The gist of it, is why pay coin when you could either get a Templar to do it for free, who could not only heal you but also protect you better, or try and hire a Dwaedn who would just k...

You have a mixture of items in your backpack, various herbs, boxes, bandages, etc, etc.. You could then use this to move all the herbs to another container without using "Transfer *individual herb name*" multiple times. I imagine the main use would be for herbs, gems, pelts, and so forth c...

What follows are a series of ideas regarding abilities, that would replace the basic Weapon Specialization abilities and work best with the removal of the "Basic Weapons Training". They way they're set up follows the idea that Mercenaries are not just the Master of a single weapon, but wor...

Question on Quarantine

I've two simple questions on the Quarantine. How long has it been in effect? A century? Less? A year? And how much of Arad does it cover? Looking at the map, the Lost Lands, Lapis, Faedh Vil, and Sirak Drauth make sense due to the mountain range (maybe not Sirak Drauth as with their mountain range i...

Aside from any other situation outside of the task calculations, it isn't punishing. The question being asked, is should it be punishing in those calculations and if not what can be done about it. There are options to get around it, either by bringing others along more often than a person who focuse...

I'm very well aware skills are more important than Guild rank. I also know as I said in my initial post, that with the current rate of advance of Ragn's skill if I ignore Melee now that I know that it is a bad idea to train it in another 200ish skill I can likely get my two weapon skills even with i...

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say is being understood if it is being boiled down to just complaining about being able to get Guild Rank. It is more about removing options, more than anything else. And that isn't comparable to being the best cook in Arad. That's time consuming, but doesn't mechanic...

Biggest problem with that is due to Melee effecting both attack with all weapons and defence, you end up with people potentially ignoring weapon training, or keeping multiple weapons to boost melee without raising the difficulty of tasks.

As a new player, I like to play around with different things to find out what I'm going to be most comfortable with.
