This insanity brought to you by Skaw:
But, the quest could involve going into the other gods plane, and retrieving items from the creatures there, or defiling some temple of that god, which would plummet the faction standings of the deity your assaulting, and its allies. And making the factions Irrepairable would keep from farming, this way people of that deity, and its allies, would only want to help others do this quest. It would also result in alot of Evil/Good/Neutral based guilds, designed to complete these quests..
The reward would be rather small,perhaps exp, perhaps a small item to compliment the epic weapon ... but it would change the sever!
The god would get more power, thus changing a zone or two, or MOBs.
Another one would lose power ...

quote:Yeah, but why shouldn't the Hand of a god be able to kill things a few levels higher if they are that low?
Vanaric Buryniksar enlisted the help of an infinite number of monkeys to write:
Well, I guess if they did put this in, it would probably have a reccomended level on it, so that some lowbie wouldnt pick it up and be able to kill things several levels higher than him.
Seriously though, I like the idea.
quote:I don't think they can make items that change as you level. =\
This one time, at Vanaric Buryniksar camp:
Aye, it should be able to kill monsters a few levels above the player at lower levels, but not powerful enough to kill monsters lets say 10 levels above the player, so the weapon gaining power as you level instead of starting out at full power would probably be a good idea.

Or, they could have a series of quests at the guildhalls that upgrade the weapon as you level. [ 03-21-2002: Message edited by: Vanaric Buryniksar ]

Yeah they can, all they do is give it a reccomended level and if you dont meet that level, the stats wont be as good as they are at that level. Im not sure if they slowly approach their normal status as you level though...Or, they could have a series of quests at the guildhalls that upgrade the weapon as you level.
Having it upgraded by anyone but the god itself kinda defeats the purpose of a "weapon of the gods"

Given that your weapon skills, spells, damage caps, hit points, and special skills (Double Attack, Dodge, ect) are based off of your level, even the uberest weapon won't let a newbie take on something too much higher than them.
They'll be able to chew through stuff near their level really quick, but for the deep reds they would still need help.

Tordeck had this to say about Duck Tales:
Ill go play with the UIG and kinda make and example...
the what?
Anyways...say Im running around in Gfay and pick up this
Nothing to powerful but its still a nice sword.
Now, to get a "upgrade" I would need to travel to the Plane of Growth and recvive a quest from Tunare herself.
Something like, get a item from Hate and Fear, give her those and the sword voila! I get this
Of course there will be other items to get for different classes/races and dieties. But this serves as a good example.
[Note: I messed up on the second sword, forgot the diety, and the races were cut off]

You also miss the point, really.
Keep in mind, if you found this, you'd probably be the ONLY person on your server with it, unless you stopped playing your character, or didn't want it.
PS: There is a weapon ingame called, 'The Arm of Quellious' or something.
I love the idea of items converting you, maybe even making items given out by other dieties unusable to you.
I also do not like the whole random spawning on the ground thing. It should be a GM event.
I ALSO think it should be No Drop, to prevent twinking, and have a Recommended Level of 50 or 55. [ 03-21-2002: Message edited by: Giantt ]

Modrakien stopped beating up furries long enough to write:
I don't like the idea of just picking up something from the ground beeing more rewarding than leveling your character for hours on end. Maybe if you make those spawn in NToV type places, it would be acceptable. If you really want to make those one per server items, just have a GM guide each person (and their friends/guild helping him) through a challenging quest.I love the idea of items converting you, maybe even making items given out by other dieties unusable to you.
Also, if the weapon spawned in areas designed for only level 60+ type encounters, then it won't get as much use as it should for the work that it would take to implement. If you are already the most powerful you can be, why do you really need the strength of a diety? This isn't to say that an item WON'T spawn in those places, there's always a chance.

Giantt had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
It makes no sense that the weapon would convert you (not to mention it's impossible to do currently). It should be limited to the religion of the weapons god.I also do not like the whole random spawning on the ground thing. It should be a GM event.
I ALSO think it should be No Drop, to prevent twinking, and have a Recommended Level of 50 or 55.
The weapon converts you as is the nature of the REASON it exists in the hands of someone OTHER than the god it came from. If it were limited, then it could go through any number of people before it ended up with someone who could actually USE it.
If it was a GM event, that wouldn't really fit with the idea of a god 'casting his weapon down to Norrath to seek out an instrument of his will.' That would be a GM holding an event like so many before it, the GM choosing the recipient, then everyone complaining because an uber guild came and killed the GM, and some newbie got an awesome weapon and probably won't make it past level 20. Cookie cutter, anyone?
Of course it would be nodrop. May or may not have a recommended level. Even a newbie with primals can get wasted by deep reds. It's not going to make you invincible by any means. If you destroy it, or choose not to use it, then it goes to someone else, creating a passing down of the weapon from wielder to wielder in the search for the true Hand of whatever diety. This way the weapon always stays in the game.

But you know that this weapon would make leveling almost too easy. This weapon, or Gharns. Or Pallidus' Axe of Slaughter. Golden Ulak. Blade of Angels.
Imagine having one of those weapons (For their respective classes) at level 10.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Densetsu was all like:
the majority of players aren't level 10 anymore, so yes, maybe one or two people on a server that low might have it. How many do you see with fungi tunics? I see so many that I wonder how I can NOT have one.

They can do it with spells, I'm sure they could make up some code that does it with weapons.
