I don't think it's a bad idea actually. It would make sense for certain mages to have a backup plan just in case. Although, to me, it seems to be basically the magical version of a lightsaber? (I don't know much about lightsabers specifically so I could be wrong.) But that's not to say its possible unoriginality outweighs its value as an idea and its usefulness as a tool.

There is one other thing off the top of my head that I noticed: You state that it can be used by non-mages, albeit less efficiently, but then closer to the end you wrote that people with skill lower than an arch-mage can't use it without actually hurting themselves. So I guess my question is, how useful is it really to non-mages? How much good can they get out of it before they, I dunno, slice off an arm?

I meant the elemental ones, the non-elemental ones would logically be easier to use, or so I think.And sorry for the unoriginality, its just that I never came up with an original idea before in my life. ^^'

You know what? I like this idea

it's a magical lightsaber which makes it cool

Some more well thought-out ideas from Nergal. ^_^ I'm happy to see not everyone has forgotten this thread yet. The crystal mirror seems like an exceptional piece of equipment. For price, I'd recommend somewhere between 700-1000 SK per unit. :3 The falinn cloak (made by Jimmy Falinn? XD) seems like it would be a lot less expensive - maybe somewhere between 90 and 180 SK.

Thanks. ^_^ Those sound like good prices to me. ^w^ Lol, I actually got Falinn from Google translate. It's "hidden" in Icelandic.

Okay two things. One I was suddenly struck by the desire to post ideas here again and two...Why does this not have a sticky??? =O Seriously it's a good topic. Okay on with my many, many ideas:

Storm Pike:

---

Cleanser Staff:

---

Salamander:

---

And now just cause I like making legendary items for amusment and I like promoting Carbuncles, here's an artifact from their lore:

Bunclite Breast Weave:

would anyone mind if I took some of these inventions and put them into the game? I#d give credit to the respective creators of course. Havent read everything yet but there seems to be some nifty stuff among it. ^^
And since this is a community pool, i assume these are free to use...? Unless I got the point of this whole topic wrong.

Wow, I'm happy to see this is still being used! And yeah, I'd love if it was a sticky thread, too. ^_^ Thanks for the ideas, Jedi! I'll update the Table of Contents next time I'm on the PC.

My only criticism at the moment is that cleanser staves seem a bit pricey for how common and simple they are. I wouldn't let it go above 200 SK, though truth be told even THAT feels a bit ridiculous to me... ^^;

I'm pretty sure that's absolutely fine, Ama. That's what this thread was made for, after all. People wouldn't have submitted their ideas if they didn't want them used. ^_^ And no, there's no charge or, like, return favour you have to do for using them, no. I look forward to seeing what you can do with them!

XD I'll talk to some mods I know and see if I can't get some support going for a sticky. ^_- As for the price I agree. I always feel I can't quite determine the right price. Do you think you could whip up a pricing guide to help with that and post it at the start page? Just a suggestion. Also yay! Only one flaw! That's like a record.    Okay changing now...Changed! ^^

For the prices, I've been more or less trying to put things in relation to examples given on this page: http://www.felarya.com/wiki/index.php?title=Currency

I'll put the link in the first post as suggested.

Oh, exchanging favours, are we? Bad, bad =P I'll see what the others think and get back to you guys.


P.D.: There you go.

What's wrong with the exchange of favors behind closed doors? <.< Perfectly legal. Not like we exchange favors of a sexual nature....much.

Well thanks, Ilceren. You saved me having to trade a raunchy poster of Malika to somebody I know. *Rolls up and locks back in wall safe then covers back over with more naughty poster. Nods and goes to eat banana pudding.

OMG It's sticky now!! I hope this makes it more accessable to everyone. Wow it kinda makes me feel all smart and important for having come up with the thread but I digress, this isn't about me! >_< I hope this helps people find elements to use in their writing!

Also, I think it might be time to give the list of links some order. Sort them into categories. Anyone have an idea what categories we should use? I'm thinking it could be sorted by, like, intention (ie weapons, augmentations, entertainment, etc.), by rarity, by value, by creator, or maybe even other methods I haven't thought of, but I don't know which would be easiest to use to find what you're looking for.

I personally say we organize 'em by type categorized by what they're used for, but then again I can't think of how the system would work. Wouldn't you have sub-categories that makes it harder to find stuff? O.o

Name: Nature's Embrace
Rarity: Very Rare
Average Price: 120,000+ SK

Nature's Embrace is an very rarely seen attire artifact. The outfit is handcrafted by a Dryad from their own leaves and various other bits depending on the type doing the crafting. Normally given as a special sign of dear friendship, or passed down through the original owners friends & family. The effect of the artifact is too mask the scent, muffle the footsteps, and alter the very presence of the one who wears it. Essentially it causes the wearer to be seen as a plant of the world. Allowing for safe traversing of places such as the grove of carnivorous plants, or the ability to safely pass any Dryad without being recognized as potential prey. However the presence effect is only observed by flora and plant based sentient life, if spotted by say a Naga the owner is still going to be recognized as a snack, albeit an oddly dressed one. Though it is unverified, it is said to grant one access to the Dryad's rumored network and that their is .05% chance every day the attire is warn for the owner to be turned into a Dryad sapling. The price is relatively low, as those who do have it normally do not part with it; seeing as it is a rarely given privilege to be considered a friend to a Dryad in the first place. So when one does appear on the market, its true worth is normally unrecognized in the starting price unless sold by a skilled appraiser.

How to use: Simply discard everything you are wearing and put on the Nature's Embrace attire in its stead. Make sure the vines are tightened properly and that all portions, with the exceptions of decorative bits are firmly against the body.


||My attempt at making an artifact out of what my OC wears. Lets bring some life back to this thread after 2 years without a new artifact. Thoughts?

Well now that is a banging fashion statement that doubles as armor! I might give this a twirl I might!

Name:  Vambrace Of Astapora
Rarity:  Exceedingly  Rare
Average Price:  1,500,000 SK (For a real one)

A legendary Vambrace used by the thrall of the Vampress Astapora Sunkiler. She was said to have bestowed this armored bracer to her most beloved thrall and only he or she could use it. It is part protective charm, part weapon. One activated it would cause physical and spiritual  injuries incured by the wearer to instantly 'bypass' the welder and impact Astapora's own form. If you are ran through the sword's impact would hit the immortal vampiress and leave her thrall free to run the offender through. A work of genius that sadly has never been replicated and as such they are very coveted items. In addition each is made of burnished Tessium and gilded with Felaryan Silver making them a wonder magicaly, as well as artfully so.

How to use:
One must draw blood from the lips and kiss the back of the Vambrace then with a flick and the brace's 'password' activate it. It should spring to life glowing with a baleful glow that will enschrell the user fully. After being shrouded in energies several needles will pierce the veins and the iron will be seperated from the blood transfiguring into a Crimson blade half as long as one's forearm. The Blade's quality depends on the blood.


Name:  Blüdbrace
Rarity: Uncommon
Average Price: 2,400 SK

A cheap variation of the masterpiece created by Astapora.  A cheap forgery with less legendary abilities but far, far easier to procure. It is made of metal and leather made from Groomer hide commonly. It boasts not needing to tap one's own supply of blood to work as well having had carrying vials made from bronze which feed into the emitter flute. It however has no ability to bypass any kind of damage thpugh some have been sold with illusion imbuememts to male the customer think this is so.

How to use
Make sure the blood cylinder is full of blood then hook it to the main flute beneath the wrist and kiss the weapon and flick. Iron will be extracted from the blood then transmuted into steel on par with Tungsten.

Yay new entries! So, Ves, I like your idea for Legendary/Highly Sought After Artifact, and especially that it's clothes as we have so few of those, and I think it's a nice balanced article in genral though keep in mind legendaries are good but everyday stuff is what we crave here. Try and cram a few normal ideas in there.

Not too shabby. I like the the Full Metal Alchemist/ Soul Eater effect of using blood as a weapon. Also like the fact it's Vamprie Lore! We get so little of that.
