$ = time, heir looms for $$?

[mulas]

For people who do not want to retire, but want to upgrade their weapons, armors. Since the amount of $$ earned from 1-30 is very limited. It's only fair to upgrade their weapons with money they earned. Or a trading system for people to trade loomed items.

trading is coming out, who knows maybe even buying heirlooms

[Denam]

I hope I'm not the only one who hopes we won't be able to buy heirloomed weapons or armor, ever. I know for heirloom grinders it's really nothing special, but I like my tempered long iron sword, it feels special in that I earned it. If I can buy a masterwork weapon for 100k then I'd never retire and just keep making money. I ended Gen1 with 90k, then did an athletics build with light armor, and reached level 30 with around 300k.

However having said that I can understand why someone would want to be able to trade heirloomed items. You start over on a new build, something that is a drastic change from your previous, and maybe that masterwork spiked dildo just isn't gonna work with your archer build. So I guess in that respect I think trading would be ok, but I'd hope for someway to regulate it, such as only being able to trade heirloomed items of equal status.

TL;DR
Buying, no.
Trading, yes.

I think you should be able to spend gold to reset your heirlooms, but using it to get more heirlooms?  I don't know about that.

heirlooms for $$ = more naked leechers

[Radix]

I would support trading. Tbh I am not happy with my masterwork langes messer and would love to trade it for champions nordic sword or reset its heirlooms for money. I know the pain. But the effect on the balance must be concidered.

heirlooms for $$ = more naked leechers

[La Makina]

If a buying a heirloom at +1 would cost 300-500k, this would discourage naked leeching. A player would need to nakeleech gold so long that he won't be worth it. He would just better play the game and enjoy it as it is. Collecting 500k to afford a +1 on damage might just not be worth the price.

Also, with the recent nerf to heirloom bonuses, it won't be break the balance of the game.

The gold cost of heirlooming should just be high enough so that heirlooming through XP/retirement would still be faster than heirlooming through Gold.

Pretty much this. The game needs more gold sinks, and heirloom reforging offers an incredibly simple gold sink that many people would buy into.

Hey, you stole mah post! Don't make me quote that shit!

[Siiem]

100.000 gold to reset your heirlooms, never ever, to buy new ones... There are millionaires in cRPG.

[Reinhardt]

1. Play cav
2. ????
3. Lose all your gold and QQ about being broke and cavalry getting nerfed.

Fixxed for ya, mate.

PS: Not a build joke or stab at cavalry. I am a cavalryman.

On topic: I think that trading would be nice. Other things, no.

Skip the fun...
Requirements: only one character! You can jump directly to level 30 and gain 10,000 gold. However, you will not gain any Experience any more - you will be stuck at this level, and are not allowed to have any alts until you delete this one. You can use this character for Strategus, too, though.

Thats new on the site. Trading/buying heirlooms for those characters are the only way. Crpg switches to the fast lane. You can create any character you like without having to level for ages.
Before any old players mourn, think about new players. The recent changes made leveling for people without gens even harder. So all these changes would make sense to increase the playerbase, which will be even bigger when strategus is relaunched.

And note the last sentence.

I believe the new strategus will attract loads and loads of people, and when that happens the normal crpg has to be in shape and beginnerfriendly.
Thats only my opinion, but I think the devs agree or even had the same idea.
