Hey, so the create_special_item function calls the special_item structure, which needs some changes. I made some suggestions, and I think the tri/quad area could use some more options. Also, I think it could make sense to add a new tier between rare and ultra.
Design Goals:
Stupid drops that should be removed:
Needs in our current drops:
Dual stat suggestions:
Tri stat suggestions:
Quad stat suggestions:
Design Goals:
- Don't make anything completely pointless
- Multiple multi-stat options per important gear-worthy stat (for example, pulse should not only be available on lf/fire/pulse and imm should not only be on lf/ms/imm for mages)
- Some very situational gear is OK/Good - Thief (stealth/end) is a good example of this even if it's mostly trash
- Multi-stat options should allow some flexibility in "X goes with Y" on your gear
- Immunity should continue to only exist on ultra, otherwise it gets to be too common
Stupid drops that should be removed:
- Wounded (FEW)
- Vision (FEW)
- Magical Defense (RARE)
- Arch-Mage (ULTRA)
Needs in our current drops:
- Multi-stat dagger/staff drops
- Multi-stat surround hit drops
- More multi-stat pulse drops
- Multi-stat WIAS drops (the only one right now is Vision which is just a dumb way of getting int orbs with perc orbs that you need to trash or hand to Horowitz one at a time [shoutout to Horo for threatening to bool me])
- Quad-stat drops
Dual stat suggestions:
- Replace "Sorcery" with "New Sorcery" of Duration/Bless so people can make blessers
- Rare: Magical Destruction (lf/pul)
- Rare: Physical Destruction (att/sh)
- Few: Sportsman (speed skill/bc)
- Few: Loudmouth (wc/end)
- Rare: New Magical Defense (MS/Freeze)
- Rare: Judgement (wis/int)
- Rare: Fitness (agi/str)
- Few: Stabbing (str/dag)
- Few: Smacking (str/staff)
Tri stat suggestions:
- Rare: Haste (agi/speed skill/raw speed)
- Rare: Channel 5 (wc/end/rage)
- Ultra: Longevity (int/str/imm)
- Ultra: Constitution (wis/int/agi/str)
- Rare: Weaponry (swd/dag/TH/staff)
- Rare: Haggling (wis/int/bless/bart)
- Ultra: Magical Annihilation (lf/fire/pul/int)
