LVL based elixers,good idea for game?

Ivanhaus · Post by **Ivanhaus** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 7:39 pm

this came to me when looking for a good lvl 16 bow for sp farming. I had two choices:
1)buy an SOx for 6mil.(yeah right)
2)buy a plain lvl 16 bow.
could not find ANY lvl16 bows with +'s or blues on them.
decided to add an elixer to my bow at 200k a pop.
now my question. if weapons and gear are lvl(degree) based,shouldn't the elixers be also?Alcamey is,why not elixers. This would make +ing a low lvl weapon or gear more practical. You never get back out of a weapon what you invested in it in alcemy unless you go +5 or higher.and how often does that happen? It shouldn't hurt the games economy cuz the market would set the price.higher lvl elixers would sell for more than 200k (probably), and lower lvl would be substantially lower. What do you think about this idea. I know It probably will never happen. just curious what others might think.

Wrong - it would only make things worse for lower levels. Why? Because now when you get a weapon elixir drop you can only sell for maybe 20-30k @ lvl 20. But right now you can sell it for 200k. Also that would make 8th degree elixirs more expensive! So you either pay it now or pay higher later when you get to 8th degree. Very bad idea.

If trading was profitable it would make it practical, Then lower lvl's would have money to.

Yea that would suk, you could only get elixers form ppl around your lvl that find them, I like being able to goto don or jangan to find elixers.

I think Rose style would be the best

, where the lucky powders are diff, instead of by degree they go by quality, so there is alot of diff kinds of powders, you need higher quality powder to have better chance to + things, I just thought that would be a great idea when I was trying to + up a lvl 24 glaive, and I thought who freakin gay this is where I am lvl 70 and cant even get +3 on a lvl 24 weapon..

Back in Irose if you were high lvl things like that get easier, its still hard enough for stuff ur lvl though cus lower lvl items are just easier to + with lower lvl quality powders >.>.

good point. but I think if they were cheaper at lower lvl"s a lot more people would use them instead of selling them thus making the gear base at lower lvl better(a lot more +'ed items around).would make the game more enjoyable to if you could afford to pimp your gear at lower lvl"s.

also,at higher lvl's you usually have more gold to spend. and the economy will still set the price.you cant sell if no one is willing to buy.

why not take the lvl base away from alcamey to then?make it work for any lvl gear? what would that dot to the value of stones? see my point? it's a lvl based game.

Lowbie don't need elixirs anyway. And what would happen when high lvls that grind at the cave want to buy them while in dw? "Sry, only lvl4/5 elixirs"

i.e. Idea full of faults

It could help actually,

Say theres 2 sorts of weapon elixirs (along with all the other shield
and everything) 1 is for lvl 1-35 and the second one is for lvl 35-70.
Because there would be more lvl 35+ getting both sorts of elixirs
then they would sell the lvl1-35 for say 150k and the second one
for 200+k...

But on the other why change it? making diffurent lvl elixirs isn't going
to change much apart from prices.

Nah. It would suck for all the things put up by huy.. When ur lvl 5 and find an weapon elixer, damn you'll be happy to get 200k for it..

if you already realized the need for them in donwang don't you think someone else will and sell them there in a stall? and what's wrong with lower lvl's +'ing there gear for farming? don't know what lvl you are now but wouldn't it of been nice to farm with gear full of +'s?
