Weapon sharpening

[Boris]

1) Next hit = crit hit
- You can sharpen Fencing/SMS weapons
- Next hit is automatically critical
- Restricted to 1-tile weaponry (swords, axes, etc.) to prevent one-hitting (i.e. sharpened halberd would mean automatical one hitting)
- PvP oriented feature

2) Boost to minium damage of a weapon
- You can sharpen any Fencing/SMS weapon
- (i.e.) If a halberd normally does 10-60dmg, sharpening boosts the minium damage to 30 - making the variance smaller: 30-60dmg.
- Can not sharpen religion blessed weapons
- Lasts for a long time (unlike option 1)
- Affects both PvM and PvP, but more of a PvM-oriented feature
- Can be considered as a non-religion weapon bless feature to balance non-religion PvM

option 1
even though option 2 seems tempting for pvm, but i'd rather have something new in pvp

Is this for Warrior-Only?

[Boris]

Warriors do the sharpening, others can gain from it.

[Johnny Walac]

If it was Warrior only. I would go for 1 without a doubt. Number 2 is PvM and who the hell hunts with 65 healing?
But if others can gain from it, heh.

Still option 1 for me.

[Boris]

Warriors will play a new part with tanking and taunting in the future. That's a guy everyone wants in their PvM party.

Will any of this two sharpening options work on religion blessed weapons?

[Boris]

It's possible for both being restricted when religion bless is involved, but at the moment 1) may have a chance as it's limited to 1-tile weaponry.

2) is more of a gain for non-religion PvM.

hmmm
if warriors can sharpen every weapon, it's probably a very good tool for pvm
can they sharpen any weapon they want without any delay?or how would it work then?

why not give them a .sharpen crit and a .sharpen for average dmg and they choose whichever they want, when they want?

[Boris]

Depends eventually on the outcome.

If it's done by a tool - it should be as simple as click tool > click weapon > "Your weapon is sharpened" - with some restrictions so you can't sharpen in the middle of battle.
