Design An Item Contest!

Postby Korunga Ed » Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:22 am

"With all this spare time since the Demon Lord's defeat what have the craftsmen of Trinald been up to? Write up a piece of equipment you might see fresh from the drawing board!"

Deadline: October 5th at Midnight!

What You Do: Provide an Item Name, Item Description, and Item Stats as though it were an actual item in DG.

i.e.

Item Name: Korunga Wand
Item Description: This long, thin apparatus appears to be made from Korunga Wood. It also glows softly. Is it magical? Maybe? AND WHY IS IT SO HEAVY.
Item Stats...
Str: 20
Con: 25
Int: -10
Attack: 35
Weight: 99
Light: 1

P.S. Ethucan and non-human ideas allowed!

P.S.P.S. Prizes given to Top 3 and most likely anyone else that participates. Judging will be by yours truly.

P.S.P.S.P.S. Include your character number for prize-giving purposes. Thank you.

(Hey look another addendum) You can post as many items as you feel like putting out there, but only one can be considered for the contest! Having said that... I love reading the item designs so do feel free to put out as many as you like! =D

Edit:
1st place - ??? A Two Of A Kind Weapon ???
2nd place - Weightless Mod Scroll
3rd place - Treasure Box

ANOTHER ADDENDUM

Please take pity on me and try to keep the posts below to entries only. =D

Any rules, such as what isn't allowed?

Nope, just make an item that you feel might feasibly exist within Trinald.

For example, my Korunga Wand! It is made from a tree that is known to be on Kilican and magic, of sorts, exists as well. It's a bit silly, but it could exist, aye?

Mayhaps it's a custom weapon that you've been brewing up?

The sky is the limit here!

Cloak of the Giant Matted Fox

This seemingly bulky cloak is crafted from one of the Giant Foxes. It proves thick enough to protect from the elements and from impacts. Some of the fur is matted up as if this Fox had lived for a long time.

Con: 2 Dex: 4 AC: 13 Level required: 63 Weight: 15 *Nobility Required* Profession: (W C R E)

(For story sake, heh)
Example: Out of all of the foxes that wonders the area they do... they live off of the natural water provided for them and whatever they can manage to kill. Legend goes that if you wonder the Canyon long enough you'll hear a low howl in the late marc's. It's a Fox that has survived down there for as long as some of older adventurers have been traveling.. it still has most of its original coloring, but some of it's fur has matted up beyond repair which lends to it's defense. The adventurer that slays this beast must be quick and skilled for this Fox is agile.

(Just for fun)

Rattlesnake Boots (with alternate stiletto form (can be altered with a landray spine)


These supple boots have been crafted from the elusive and quick canyon rattlesnake. The colors vary from snake to snake, so no two pairs are identical.

Dex: 2 AC: 4 Level requirement: 12 Weight: 6 *Nobility Required* Profession: (ANY)


(They have roughly the same stats as the other boots available in game at low level. Unlike the cloak designed to go after another cloak for higher adventurers, these boots are designed in mind as a potential drop to be shared and given out. Or to be exchanged for skins.)

(More ideas, but don't want this post to be half a mile long)

The Unfinished Project

This seemingly nice suit was stopped half way through. Made of a tyrian hued fabric, it is is covered in both drawn on tailor marks as well as having various threads and spools hanging from it. One pant leg is longer than the other, the first having been sized to fit a wearer where the other hasn't been hemmed yet, and an entire arm of the jacket is missing, the shoulder ending abruptly where the sleeve would have been sewn on. It is also completely devoid of buttons, so bring a belt.

Snoozing Patch.

This black, satin eye coverlet has been tastefully edged with white lace. The looped stitching upon its front spells the words; Gorgeous, but grumpy, and would serve as warning to anyone who would disturb the slumbering diva while the Snoozing Patch is in place.

Effect: Fabulous slumber.

Potato lantern. (Glowing)

Potato Lantern is clearly a far superior lantern to those silly pumpkin ones. Potato lantern is small, portable and comes complete with a handy string handle for transportation. The potato shell keeps your flame nice and protected from wind and water both - take it in the swamp cave and give it a try! Potato Lantern is carved with a pleasantly happy face and does not whisper horrible things. Ever! Potato Lantern isn't tricksy. Potato Lantern's insides are good in a stew or a pie!

Potato Lantern! Get yours this turn.

Effect: Pleasant Potato Glow

Please take pity on me and only add posts here that are event entries.

Add a rave topic if you like the items being made here. Sifting through these will be enough of a headache with RL as it is. Thank you! <3
