Idea: Personal treasures and hold-item crafting

[canora]

In mystery dungeon, some charactors had personal treasures. It would only make sence to me that a charactor on this site might want a personal treasure aswell.

What I'm suggesting, One single non-consumable, non-stealable hold-item (or equip set) with a very small (one or two) stat bonus.
Maybe a certian rock makes torchick feel more insightful (+1 cleverness) Or maybe volteon has a magnetic collar that helps it focus it's lightning-based attacks (+2 to lightning-based special attacks)


Perhapse, for a switch, Torren the cubone combines iron-thorn and a berry (for glue) with the bone he carries to make a sort of dagger. (+1 to basic attack, and any hand/claw attack.) He could never use the bone to learn bonemerang, but he would still keep it close as a sort of comfort item. The item might have a custom name like: Torren's bone-knife.

Also, maybe there could be a sort of crafting system for non-personal, preexisting items like stat potions or gummis.

While sounding a bit complicated, I think this sounds rather fun and creative! Perhaps a user could request a personal item, and then a set of items needed to create said personal item would be generated. If those items were collected, then the personal item could be made.

However, if said items could restrict moves, but gave small stat bonuses, then there wouldn't be much of a point to creating them besides merit. Perhaps they could have other unique bonuses according to the character. Said items could also have 'levels'.

Like a 'level one' item would give a small stat bonus. A user could choose to upgrade the item to get better effects.

An upgrade system! Eccelent! All cubones/marowaks have a split-in-half bone they carry. What if they took an iron thorn or a silver thorn (With silver haveing better stats than iron) and combined it with a pecha berry to make a (Cubone's name) knife? Because the bone is allways carried, the item would be attained by getting it from said cubone, or from misty forest.

It could use an abstract item, say, cloth + vine (from some grass-types or from jungle-areas) to make a strap, (combined with rawst berry for fireproof strap so that it couldnt be broken by fire moves) that might allow someone to use a non-held item even when "Embargo" is in place.

The ordinary strap would be a base item, which could be broken easily. Rawst strap would be one of the upgrades.

Like I said, the item would depend on what the user describes, although I really like your creativity towards items! Perhaps you could help to run the personal item shop once it gets going?

[canora]

Sweet! I like the idea. What if a person describes the item, I tell them what items they need to bring me to make the item, and have, say, a 50 or so poke fee? Doubling with each user-specified upgrade?

[For Lack of a Better Name]

Perhaps the fee could depend on the level of the item? Like, the first level could be 50, and rise with the following levels. Perhaps the price could increase by 50 for each level, so that users know how much to save for the next one.

OK sounds good, Really dont have much of an idea right now, but it's really expanded. I think people are going to love the crafting system.

[For Lack of a Better Name]

Before I make the actual shop/service, what would you like the NPC running it to be like? Is there any particular species that you'd want them to be? Usually I have an introduction about who's running the shop and how the character(s) encountered it, just so they can RP the interactions if they want to.

[canora]

Well, I do have an OC leafeon that Torren's kinda in love with. Never gave a thought to her being added as a NPC. A shy purple (ears and tail, shiny) female leafeon named Darkleaf would probably do well with this job.

If darkleaf is accepted as a shopkeeper, could I still use her as a side charactor? If not, then an eccentric sandslash with a beard would be ok too.

[For Lack of a Better Name]

If it's not too much trouble, could you write an introduction for the eccentric Sandslash; like the ones with the rest of the shops? Or, I could write it if you don't want to.

[canora]

Well, I dont know anything about the sandslash. he's old and he's a shopkeeper that is kinda obsessed.

[For Lack of a Better Name]

So, do you want me to write the description?

[canora]

Sounds good. I really am no good with that kinda thing.

[For Lack of a Better Name]

I've made the shop!:

If you're not okay with the description, including how I portray the character, feel free to say so.

[canora]

Brilliant! brilliant! Love the way the sandslash is portrayed! Lol, exactly how the charactor should be, cant see anything wrong with it, and seems crazy enough to not confuse Torren! LOL Wrecke
