Custom weapons

[Kenkaru]

Hum as much as I love custom weapons or anything custom really I must say that custom weapons take away the balance of the game greatly. Many say that Dark side would get the advantage on Woe if they get shadow property weapons but hey Holy weapons unbalance the pvm side of the game greatly. Good example of this was my old server Axe of oath. It was a normal lvl 4 axe with [1] slot holy and gave +10 vit. The axe didn't do much in woe didn't do much around most training places but give the axe to a smith and droop him in niffheim. With common gear and a decent build the smith could deal about 1200 damage per hit with decent aspd thanks to this weapon. Mammonite did inhuman damage and allowed them to walk around one hit killing things around the map.

Sure the quest to make it was hard as hell but it was still possible to do. Now here is an idea that came to my head. You all seen those items from Iro that give X bonus during X event right ? Well since the whole custom weapon people been mentioning the most are leaned to the alliances system how about making weapons that to an extend clone lvl 4 weapons such as the Executioner sword.

Example a dark side weapon for Two handed LKs.

"Sword of Darkness" [0]
-Bla bla bla sword for followers of the dark side-
Two handed sword
Equitable by Swordsman class only.

3% chance of causing external bleeding per hit.
This item only works through the Trial of Heroes Event.

^ Sword above kinda represents what the evil side do on most games such as magic the gathering or whatever thing you like. Over powered to an extend but it comes with a prize. Pure offensive but lowers your defense greatly. The thing is the weapon is made to be more flavoring than anything.

>_> I'm new to the server but I read the sticky about the Heroes thing so this mainly be useful during the light versus dark fights but still nice to have eh ?
