I am wanting to create a crafting mod, that lets you strip Prefix/Suffix from items and then use them as crafting materials on new items.
Let’s be honest, getting your double-rare MI or crafted item is next to impossible. So I’d like to create a crafter/crafting station that makes it a bit easier.
Station/NPC abilities would be:
1 - Remove Suffix/Prefix from item, leaving the “blank” base item.
2 - Strip the Suffix or Prefix from an item, destroying the item, but creating a crafting component for the stripped Suffix/Prefix
3 - Craft Suffix/Prefix crafting components into items with an open corresponding slot. (ie, crafting a Suffix component would require a blank base item, or item without a current Suffix).
Yes, I know that would make crafting perfect Double-Rare items far to simple, so it would be
a) expensive to strip suffix/prefix (exponential based on rarity)
b) expensive to strip an item to base (base on req. level and rarity)
c) require multiple Suffix/Prefix components to craft onto an items, based on req level and rarity.
example: a lvl 90 req lvl rare might require 10 Suffix components (of the same suffix) to craft, while a req lvl 50 rare would only require 5 or 6.
There would also be an Iron/epic material cost as well.
So basically, before I even attempt to do something like this, I’m asking the more experienced modders if something like this is even possible…
Thanks in advance.
