So we all know these little suckers are pretty much NPC baubles to sell for teh phat lewtz. Otherwise they're pretty much useless, if pretty, equips. I used to wear one all the time with my Puppy Love and Flower Wings just because I felt like I was completing a set.
I was wondering - why not make them a tiny bit more useful? Would probably have to nerf how often they drop, a little, but make them part of a combo set with other plant-related equips (like Puppy Love! It's so pretty and cute, but so useless!).
I'll understand completely if the GMs are like "lolwtfbbq no, it's work that outweighs the reward". I do think it's a tiny but neat little idea that's at least food for thought. It's been niggling at my head and though it still sounds a bit useless with the proposed equip combos I thought "what they hay why not".
Possible equip sets/uses:
So-and-so less damage from Plant race
- Flower Ring + Flower Wings
So-and-so more damage to Plant race
- Flower Ring + Puppy Love + Flower Wings
More-so-and-so less damage from Plant race and/or more-so-and-so damage to Plant race
I can't remember how much you can buy a Flower Ring from those gift NPCs for, but perhaps if you bring one to the Flower Lady when you're going to make the wings it will cut down the cost in zeny requirement. Because... y'know, she thinks it's pretty.
