Equipment The ideas!

Before we go onto the very many awesome that i am going to point out that this idea is for crafting weapons with crafting there has to be a ton and i mean a ton of materials, but not to many to confuse the shite out of people when they are trying to craft stuff. So i put in a rank system for lacrimas, and the material being the ones dependant on how many lacrimas a weapon is able to hold.


Items-

Caves-

Iron - Can be mined from caves and is used to create iron weapons capable of holding up to 1 rank c lacrima. Iron is one of three most common minerals in caves, and can make some of the strongest weapons when combined with other minerals.

Bronze - Can be mined from caves and is used to create bronze weapons capable of holding up to 2 rank d lacrima. Bronze weapons are most common in the west, and can be combined with other minerals. One of three common metals found in caves.

Copper - Can be mined from caves and is one of the three common metals. Can be combined with other metals, and capable of holding 1 c rank lacrima found mostly north

Lead - One of three densest metals in the world. The swords made from these are impracticle, because of how heavy they are, but if you can wield one you can become one of the strongest in the world. Can hold 1 a rank lacrima

Osmium - One of three desest metals in the world. These swords are impractical, and swords made of this is even more so, so they only use this for one thing and that is a add-on to other metals to enhance their ability

Obsidian - Can be mined from the deepest and darkest parts of caves it's the rarest mineral, and the sharpest. Weapons made by this mineral is black in color, and sturdy. Cannot hold a lacrima. (You see weapons with the potential to become legendary with this mineral)

Under Water

Quartz - Can be used to make rank d lacrima but when combined with another crystal it has the chance to make rank c lacrima

Amethyst - Can be used to make rank c lacrima but when combined with another crystal it has the chance to make rank b lacrima

Painite - Can be used to make rank b lacrima it has the chance to make rank a lacrima when combined with another crystal

Rhodium - A famous metal only found in water able to hold 1 a rank lacrima and can be combined with other metals.

Special Combinations
Obsidian + Osmium = Able to negate all magic within a 5 tile radius of user (It's a skill with a 15 second cool down)

Rhodium + Osmium = +30% damage to those that have 50% or more of their maximum HP.


Ghost of ET's weapons

Obsidian Night Blade - Can be created by combining Obsidian, and Osmium. 4 units of Obsidian, and 3 of Osmium. This extremly dense, and sharp sword is gaining legend status for being able to cut straight through all sorts of magic, and requires the strongest to wield this one handed weapon with efficiency.

Omega Grand Destroyer - Can be created by combining 2 units of Osmium, 15 units of Iron, and 5 units of Rhodium. Holds 1 a rank lacrima, and 1 rank c lacrima.

Iron, Bronze both in(as well as Silver, Steel, Gold, Platinum, and Adamantine)


Bronze weapons sit at the bottom, with most only holding one slot, at best.
Iron atleast has 1 slot.
Steel and Silver kind of sit somewhere in the middle as having 2-3 at the very least)
Gold, platinum and adamantine all have very specific attributes(although the details are kind of blurry, adamantine sits currently at the top with rarity, durabilitiy and augmentation capabilities)

Raw Lacrima Crystal can also be mined, at the moment it seems lacrima crystal is its own gem, and may remain this way when i add things like Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond, Amethyst, and ect.

also, other materials will be added, like any of the wood types when i get around to it, Bone, and Fur/Leather(this last one will only be for armor...)

Mechs Weapon

Nightmare Boomstick - a legendary Spear crafted out of a mysterious metal augmented with the Lightning, Fire, and Explosive Lacrimas

Not to burst your bubbles Mech but steel is a combination of iron and carbon .

And that boomstick is oped af >_>.

I don't think you should add in minerals that is common in mmorpg you should look for legit stuff people wouldnt normally look @. It will seperate this game from other games

Edit: Nvm add in all those goody goodies just add some other goody goodies.

Raw Lacrima Crystal + Gem = Refined lacrima crystal that has effect of gem??

something along those lines yeah(or some crap with special crafting or something, idk....)

I mean, most Gemstones in a combination with certain metals are fairly conductive to certain things, and I would imagine some gems would react well to magic effects, or improve certain things....*pencils ideas together*

Steel might be a combination of Iron and Carbon, but the fact is its a metal that you can craft, and the difference is a bit important, because if a IDS were to eat a ore of iron that was infused with carbon(si.e. a steel ore or w/e) theyd probably have some minor damage to themselves(they same if they were to take a bite out of pure carbon, since although it would allow them to do the kind of things Gajeel did against Torafusa, but with the effect that it still be kind of poisonous)

did i say it wasnt op? its my spear, of course its op....

anyway at one point or another im not sure i know what im talking about....so, I think I have to work on something *forgot what he was iconning and got lost in Rune Factory for a moment...*

speaking of things that this involves, this reminds me of the whole 'why not add katanas in the game', and tbh, part of doesnt know why, then the rest of me wakes up and reminds me that this anime seems more set in the 'Greece-roman' area of stuff, and even further more, the map of 'earth land' looks like Europe, on the top of that the Celestial Spirit Mage doesnt follow the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals instead it uses the 88 Modern Constellations, which is something that came from that region.

now, i know what your thinking: 'but mech, didnt you say like....a couple posts ago on the update thread that your going to add things like shurikens and kunais?' I give no fucks. the point is if i add katanas, that fact is solely up to me at this point, but MAJORITY of the equipment and some other things will be based around the more 'Greek' or 'Roman' area of influence(this also includes gods, and 'demons')

...have i been talking still? fuck, i need to go back to work...

O.O

geh, it took me a couple minutes, but i fixed Rings spell gain system(i think) now magics like ring and Requip are designed to compliment your current magic, bythat I mean, they can learn many spells of other magics, so don't choose equipment that gives you spells of the same type you use(unless your a slayer mage), these magics also have special spells for themselves,

working on the overlay system for requip, because like always, I forgot about it when I was finalizing my ideas, that is that each item(weapon, armor, etc) has an 'inventory' picture, and a 'equipped' picture. I did not do this until recently, so when I added this, I forgot I was originally just going to do the equipped icons when I decided to test Requip out a bit....yeah, you can imagine the words that came into my mind when i saw the inventory icon pop over the user instead of the equipped icon.

I fixed it 50%, it at least gets the weapon. now I just need to code the enhancements, and then finish the equipped icons for the enhancements, and I can start on the Spears...

and once the spears are done, Im thinking the One Handed Axes, then most of the weapons Erza used will be done.

You know, this shit reminds me of when I was working on Soul Eater, and was going to work on adding in death scythe and demon sword forms to all the weapons, now Im working on this crap and about *calculates*(lets see...fire, earth, water, wind, light, dark, lightning, ice, metal, wood, explosive, sleep, charm, speed....iron, steel, bronze, platinum, silver, gold, adamantine....)(((14*14)*(14*14))*((14*14)*14)....(196*196)*(196*14)....38416*2744.....damn, I was hoping that was only kind of wrong.......
so yeah, around the ball park of atleast 105,413,504 different combinations of materials and lacrimas(thats only counting one slot per each item) for each weapon type.(course I only actually icon 21 things xD)

oh, that reminds me, Adamantine isnt just from major MMOs, Erza has an Adamantine Armor Set in the Anime. I dont know if thats what you meant, but, I'd thought Id bring that up
