A 'grinder' for weapon elements idea

[opaopajr]

granted the game PSO is not gonna change and there'll be no more versions coming out, but i was thinking wouldn't it have been nice if there was a 'grinder' means to improve the element upon the weapon? and/or maybe another to change the percents on them?

how about something simplistic like this:

monogrinder - +1 to weapon (increase to ATP)

digrinder - +1 to weapon OR +5% to particular %

trigrinder - +1 to weapon OR +5% to particular % OR +1 jump to next element level (eg. draw goes to drain)

that's off the top of my head, i'm sure the balance and mechanics could be hammered out, but overall does the idea interest anyone?

woulda been a pretty cool idea, it should only be for trigrinders tho, since the other 2 are quite common

The %s wouldn't work, since they use PDs for that (20 PDs for 5%, and PDs are harder to find than Grinders generally).

The only thing I could see is a quest (since the PD for %s one is technically a quest) where you could upgrade the element of a weapon (but it can't be a 9* or higher).

Or there could be whole new items that increase different stats. This might be a bit too much though cause there would be so many different ones. In Diablo Hellfire were oils that increased different stats.

yeah dude i have thought of this too. You just make like a new grinder, or even deszign a new box type like purple or black or something. These will be recognized as weapon grinders and appear about as often as a PD. When used you select a percent, increase it by 5 with one of these grinders but you cant increase hit. Maybe a limit to 200% total to a weapon with a 100% limit to each class and when it shows 100% the 100% appears in gold just to make you feel good. Also i thought of this. there will be 3 different kinds like mono di and tri grinders the mono 5% increase the di 10% and then tri 15% but with the tri version of a weapon grinder you can choose to increase 5% hit instead. This will prevent people from making good weapons with 100% hit every time.

easy to do all you have to do is DL a few files that plants those in your game, but ST will never do it. And if you hacked that's exactly how you did it. the problem is that they would have to patch the fact that after you get to a certian point it goes back to a ??? wep and also there are 9star yellow named base items through that..I'm sure ST wouldn't want those out there
