Discount for in-game items with Loompoints

[Uther Pendragon]

So, you know how in Strategus in fiefs you can use PP to get some discount on items, why not add it to cRPG in-game?
So after you loom an item to +3 (or not), you could use loompoints to decrease the repair price for it.
It would be 1 disc. = minus 10% from repair price, 2 disc. = -20%, etc, to 3 discounts?
Would be nice for people torn apart between their love for heavy armors and love for full wallet, also I guess a nice end-game feature for no-lifers.

Im not sure i f im getting it right, but if its like this i approve:


You put 3 loompoints into an item to make it +3.
After that you can put in another 3 lp's and make it +3 with discount 30%

Or ofc only put loompoints in discount and keep the item on +0

Loompoint-sink, original.

Yeup, you got me right, but I didn't thought about limiting it only to +3 items, thou I guess its more logical.

I don't see a reason why you can't discount a +0 milanese plate

To make it more end-game cool-kids content

bump for old threat

I like this. Gives someone like me (who has one weapon he intends to stick with maybe forever) more of a reason to go after loom points.

[Taser]

An original idea. I like. Nice one man.

[Jarold]

Very nice

agree or disagree?

Agree.

Why not?

This would probably require an overhaul of all the item prices to be fair. That is a lot of work.

What would be unfair about it? You think some armours and weapons would be too discounted with a 30% discount on item price?

[WITCHCRAFT]

It gives older players every reason to "crutch" expensive items, putting new players at an even steeper disadvantage. Lighter, cheaper equipment would either disappear or be used to mass-farm gold. That would lead to inflation on the marketplace.

Hey, I'd like to have a cheap set of plate mail too. But I don't think it would be fair.

[Taser]

True. It basically makes the most expensive armors at 31k go down to roughly 21-22k. However taking a full set of plate is still expensive even with a fully discounted set. It will take a while to get a full discounted set for gloves, helm, body armor, boots which doesn't include their weapon.

I do agree that it discounts it too heavily. I wouldn't want to raise the prices though since that hurts newer players even more. Maybe discount only 7.5% or 5% instead of 10?
