Posted May 10, 2019 I've gotten some really great items from archaeology. Items that would be amazing and wonderful and terrific, if only they weren't made from a useless metal. I'm looking at you supreme zinc carving knife. I'd like to suggest two new runes. one time use, similar to the color rune, that rolls a new metal randomly (will it be gold? electrum? steel? It's a surprise!) for a slightly higher investment of material, a rune that changes the item to iron (all iron, all of the time) Thank you for your time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2019 I would very much like to have such rune ingame but it would be too overpowered if made by ordinary metals, even if made with aloys. It would have to be moonmetal rune imo and to have random effect without knowing outcome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2019 As long as it couldnt roll into any moon metals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2019 As long as it doesnt roll on to moonmetals or it uses moonmetal to make it. or both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2019 maybe it could only roll in same metal types that we have in archeology now: so metal to random metal, alloy to random alloy, and moonmetal to random moonmetal.Then i wouldn't be game-breaking. And as use it can be electrum rune since we still have lots of free uses there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2019 Jesus christ a huge +1 to this, especially after the weapon changes based on metal type. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2019 -1 Sounds like it would be better as a mag spell (maybe giving fo priests one to change wood material....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not everything is about priests, and priests are not wizards. If this would be priest only I'd expect the priest would have to give up their ability to continue and any other benefit that they gained in the priest update, you know, for balance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We kind of are, at least in wurm lore (matters of transmutation definitely fall under priest magic, strongwall giving a solid case). The point of contention here is that every utility you give to runes is an equally viable one to give to priests. Crafters see new spells as content they are gated from, priests see new runes as content they are gated from. This may be +1able if you gave the randomised material as a spell for priests (since magic on wurm is nothing but random) and the fixed material rune to runecrafters. Make it a mag unique spell, just to further buff mag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 12, 2019 Make it an item on the gift shop if not a rune, but if you're spending real £$, make sure you can choose the metal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) thats unfair to get useless rares from archaeology, but this idea just remove already barely seen specialty from silver/steel rares, not even saying about supreme ones, bc it will be mostly used to turn old weapons and tools which you have made from iron, not got from arch. Better to remove random metal from arch then. Or make this runes really expensive. Also, other metals not that bad to say rare got useless. so i taking back that "to get useless rares from archaeology" Edited May 12, 2019 by Pankivtanke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
