Pet Toys

[darcmater]

I was doing some thinking the other day while the servers were down and was thinking it would be nice to have a tinkerd item like the Throwing Knife Stamper, but instead made weapons for pets to use. Now let me explain before any mages have a heart attack. As a necro i usually am pretty self reliant when i go to solo, I usually don't even have any buffs on but my own. I don't even remeber the last time i asked a mage for some pet toys, has probably been years. It would be nice to have an item that can make some low level weapons for the pet to help increase dps. Plus for those that do use mage summoned weapons know, sometiems events go horribly wrong and next think you know your out of weapons and have to either keep going or go all the way back to the bazaar to get some more probably.

I was thinking something like Anizok's Companion Armory for the items name and would work just like the Throwing Knife Stamper, where you just have tom have the reagent in your inventory and it would creat the item. As for the recipie for the item was thinking something like:
1x Perpetual Steam Pump
2x Steam-Powered Piston
1x Mana Batter-Class 6
2x Enchanted Sheet Metal
4x Sheet Metal
Trivial at 275 and have 20 charges on it. Would use Tiny Dagger and possibly a cheap gem like jade or something even lower to create a weapon.

As for the actual item being created was thinking something along the lines of the mage summoned weapons from the pop era. Since its being created from a dagger would be a pierceign weapon with a ratio 20 delay 10 atk, Damage bonus of 16 and Magic Damage of 3, and a proc of 150. As for haveign hp like the mage item I can forget about that sicne this item had no real stats to start with and that being one of the major draw backs of sueing these. Plus given the items to carry around and the cost of the gems and mana battery to recharge it I can not see this impacting mage's by any great means nor affecting their sales of the items in the bazaar.

Was just wonderign what the ts community though, if this was somethign that would ever happen?

I would love this. Not only because I am a Tinking fool on my Necro, and just build things for the heck of it, I would like the increased DPS from my pet. I refuse to pay the prices in the baz right now for pet toys. As you said I always just mainly go out with self buffage on the Necro, but I use to buy mage made toys however. But after a few months of being gone I went to the Baz and looked at the prices on them and said to myself "Self, you dont need no stinking mage toys", and went to buy vender trash toys lol.
Haveing a tinkering toy option would be awesome, but I think your recipe would be a tad expencive. Another route would be to convert rusty weapons or the like into a tinkered masterpiece of destruction. Or something. Your idea was great, thanks

Edit: just re read your post and saw that you idea has a charge of 20.. Forget my comment on the expense. lol teach me to reply without reading t he whle thing 10 or 15 times.

Just keep in mind that the spell works only on mobs level 55 or lower.

Providing a way get previous generation pet toys at a cost higher than usual bazaar price for current ones might work without pushing mages out of business.

One of the problems is though that the summoned weapons never really become obsolete. Fist of Ixi has no pet level requirement, blades have 40 and Fireblade/Dagger of the Deep/etc level 60.

was thinking about your reply and something dawned on me. So what if it some what impacts mages business, its not as if other classes have not been affected monetairly by changes in eq. Wizards can attests to this with all the available ports like from GH they don't get nearly the amount of pp for a port. As a necro I never get asked to sc for someone that died in a really bad place. I miss the days of getting 1k to sc someone who died falling into the hole. I just think it would be nice to have other options available for reliable pet toays that actually increase dps by a noticeable amount.

i actually came here to post a very similar idea but you beat me to it. i was telling my friend about my "tinkered pet illusion items" of which there used to be a post about on this forum, and we got to talking about other things that could go along with it, such as what you've come up with here.

good idea =)

Go Tinkered Pet Toys!

This would be great!

I don't mind going to bazaar to get stuff . . . but most of the time none are there. Heck, even just doing weapons would be great . . . make them equal (or almost equal) to Blade of the Kedge maybe, no muzzle or belts, so Mages still have a market (and frankly if I can find a mage then I'll get weapons as well as muzzle/belt anyway).

so the question is how do i properly submit this idea to soe? just /feed back and write my idea down?

[Evram2]

Frankly, Ngreth is more likely to see it here and act on it than if you /feedback the idea. At least, it seems that way to me from past experiences

On Quellious, its almost impossible to get pet weapons, as nearly no one sells them in the bazaar, and there is a very low mage population.

if the above statement holds true, makes me wonder if he has seen this and if its on the possible pile : ) Would love to add another item to my clicky list, especially one that i would uses every day
