New items to upgrade equips' quality

[adakodok]

Instead of only those magic dusts, enhancement stones, and etc to enchant our equips, why don't R2 make a new item type to upgrade the equips quality (from Poor > Ordinary > Fair > Good > OS)?

And there should be some percentage of success chance, just like enchanting equips. The higher the quality wanted, the harder the chance to upgrade (from Poor > Ordinary 20%, Good > OS 5%), and the higher the equips level, the harder the chance to upgrade as well (lvl 3 Good > OS 5%, lvl 8 Good > OS 1%). And since there is some difference between each enchantment quality (+7 OS gives more stats than +7 poor, i believe?), then upgrading equips quality can only be done on non-enchanted equips, or just erase the enchantment points after succeeding the upgrade.

I like this idea... but I dont agree with losing the enchantment when you would upgrade your quality... like, what if it cost you butt loads of majors to enchant your gear, not to mention the large amounts of gold that you have spent on enchanting it. And to get something to +13 is NOT easy and it takes lots of gold. So... if you payed, butt loads of gold to buy majors or dc, or you spent tons and tons of time farming them, and then you spent 80+gold on getting it to +13... you would not want to lose that when you ran an upgrade. That would be messed up.

But I do like the idea of being able to upgrade quality, as if you were enchanting.

I like the idea of being able to directly upgrade quality.

I don't like the part where you'd lose enchantment. I'd prefer if that was kept too, same for socketed gems.

Of course, if that's not possible, I'd settle for being able to just upgrade quality. It'd just mean enchanting would have to be done last and that gems would have to be removed first... But i'd still prefer not to have these hassles.

Either way +1 on the idea.

Er... Savage.. Slayer... Fragarach... All OS. Why bother?

Yeah, of course by making the enchantment intact will be the best option but if it's not possible, then, upgrading quality only doable on non-enchanted equips. Or, perhaps, when upgrading the quality on already enchanted equips, if it failed, then the enchanted points will be reduced just like when we enchant equips.

Er... Savage.. Slayer... Fragarach... All OS. Why bother?

Well, it's because not every players are using savage/slayer/fragrach. Many knights in my server are using savior set. And priests as well. Actually my own lvl 66 mortal knight is using dragonslayer boots, and savior bloodforged helmet. The rest are purple savage + frag sword though.

Savage sucks for priests so we're better off with pristine/epic sets.

There's also offhand, which isn't in any set so we have to get it ourselves (if we don't get Heart of Eden) and it may end up being less than outstanding.
