I totally agree... The boots would be a great idea, that would help reduce camping of the jboots too+ACE- In beta i was told by a gm that tinkering would have a lot of items that increased stats temp, or as long as you had the item in your possetion, so far ive seen very little if any of this at all...
I want a large variety of items to make+ACE- And cool useful, yet realistic stuff. Although i do think more of the better items should be very hard to make, i dont think they should be impossible to figure the formulas out..
And a side note: baking and brewing should have different effects, for instance they should have rice, that increases stamina (rice has carbohydrates...) and stuff like that.

Subject: +AFs-EQ+AF8-Tinkering+AF0- Items you would like to see...

From: Zach Heaven zheaven+AEA-yahoo.com

1 - some sort of really expensive boots that enhance
running speed (like jboots), when I say really
expensive, I mean 500pp-1000pp. They should not be
easy to make, and the ultimate accolade. Possibly
even have a version that uses an expensive item (like
a 1pp stone or power supply) that gives temporary
speed of cheetah (2000pp)

2 - cams, twine, and metals for flethchers to make
bows needs to be fixed/improved.

3 - the ability to combine armor items to produce a
more powerful armor (like taking a tattered cloak and
turning it into a thermal cloak -- possible AC boost
and alternate effects)

4 - the ability to make boxes that store items more
efficiently, as well as reduce weight (very expensive
again, 100pp-2000pp)

5 - a lightsource you don't have to hold

Those are just some realistic ideas that could easily
be implemented in the game and NOT unbalance the game
(dupe items already exist). Right now tinkering has
NO REAL useful items. Those that are in the game can
easily be supplimented in some other way. Example:
compasses can be bought, casters can use their sight
spells, fishing poles are easy to come by and
insignificant anyway, and you have to hold a lantern)

Let's toss some ideas around, and try to get a
petition pulled up. I really think Verant needs to
implement trade skills in a MUCH better way, all of
them are severly lacking (Smithing needs to make
platemail and magical platemail, tailoring needs to be
made magical as well, brewing, bakery, and pottery
need practical applications)
