Similar loomed item modifications

[Herr_Thomas]

Similar Items should be able to be reworked into each other, for a cost relevant to the actual items value

For example: a +1 can be reworked for 3x the item's value, a +2 for 6x and 12x for a +3 (actual values don't have to be this, just used for example purposes)

Lets use Hourglass Gauntlets

 to test this, and rework it into a pair of Gilded hourglass gauntlets

The value (un-loomed store price) of the former is 7,438 gold.

Change in these items is cosmetic and about 100 gold difference in equipment value.

Reworking a +1 would be 22,314 gold

Reworking a +2 would be 44,628 gold

And reworking a +3 would be 89,256 gold

Then there is the issue of similar items with different item values (weight, armor value, damage, reach, speed, etc.) such as the Sugarloaf Helmet with and without coif

For this the price should be increased maybe 1.5x maybe 2x maybe even as high as 10x, open for discussion.

I believe this should be implemented because it would allow players to fine tune their character's look in game and give them more freedom on the market. It would do this by raising the "Potential" supply of those items that people use that aren't as common as the item's "cousin."
