==Custom Item Creation==
==Item Customization==


Custom-created items are available for purchase, left up to the imagination (and bank account) of the player.  These purchases are liable to be extremely expensive, depending on powerful an item is desired to be.  Any items created in this way must be placed, for purchase, in a Shop owned by that player (which means that a player must already own a Shop in order to create custom items in this way).




Costs will be based on the following criteria:
Custom items and equipment are available for those who have purchased a Shop Vendor for their player house. While the idea of creating personalized equipment is exciting, bear in mind that created items are not able to be tailored to be as powerful as equipment that exists out there in the world, keeping exploration and discovery a prime requisite for establishing the 'best' equipment for anyone out there.




All customized objects, regardless of how weak or powerful they are, will require a fee of 1000g and 1 Restring Token. This is separate from the purchase price to buy it from a player's shop (see below). Additional fees may be required if customization aspects are requested and granted outside the boundaries that have been listed on this page.


-Item Type (armor, weapon, wand, jewelry, etc.)


-Statistics put upon it


-Extra 'flags' (magical, glowing, humming, etc.)


-Item's effects and power when used (if applicable)


-Level (sometimes, not always; see full list of 'starting prices' below)


==How It Works==




In addition, the cost to purchase copies of the item '''from the shop it is placed in''' will be calculated first by comparing it to an existing item that is the closest possible similarity, then adding (or subtracting, as may be the case) based on how much better (or worse) it is than the item it is being compared to.  This final purchasing cost will be at Lilly's discretion, but rest assured that it will be fairly analyzed and appraised.
Equipment customization works on a 'point'-based system. More 'points' are allowed for higher-level equipment, and each 'point' can be applied to a piece of equipment to customize it in numerous ways.




The spells/effects of a 'useable' item (scrolls, wands, potions, etc.) will be negotiated with Lilly on a case-by-case basis; there are far too many spells and effects in the Cleft of Dimensions to make a database entailing specific costs for each one, so discuss with her exactly what you want an item to do, and she will quote you a price.
Each level range of equipment has two different types of 'points': '''''FIXED POINTS''''' and '''''TRADEOFF POINTS.'''''




'''Fixed Points''' are simply points that you can exchange for a variety of statistics and affects to be applied to your equipment, within the restrictions given for each level range (see listings below).




Statistical additions can be applied as follows (1 point exchanged for one 'boost' of one of the following):




- 1 point of STR, DEX, CON, WIS, INT, or DAMROLL


==WEAPONS==
- 2 HITROLL


Custom weapons will be given a base 'average damage' relative of its level compared to other weapons of its type at the same level.  Information on custom weapon creation is as follows:
- 50 of either HP or MANA


- 75 MOV


- Minus 3 AC rating


'''Starting Cost:'''


-800g




Affect additions can be applied as follows (in varying point-exchange amounts):


'''Starting Weight:'''


-Short Slash/Short Bash = 12 lbs
-Resistance '''[Requires 3 points each]''' (fire, cold, electricity, acid, poison, holy, energy, mental, water, light, sound, wood, silver, iron, wind, earth, dark)


-Melee/Short Pierce = 7 lbs


-Long Bash/Long Slash/Long Pierce = 15 lbs
-Weapon '''[Requires 1 point each]''' (fire/frost/vampiric/shocking/poison/holy/unholy/acidic/disrupting/earthy/soulblade damage, measuring/loud/mystery unique effects)


-Projectile/Exotic = 10 lbs


-Extra '''[Requires 1 point each]''' (nodestroy [drink containers don't poof when used up], adhesive, nochk [items don't require an artifice check to be used successfully], noexplode [wands/charged items don't poof when used up])




'''Damage Increase:'''
-Extra2 '''[Do not require points]''' (glow, hum, magic, anticlass, antigender, antirace)


-Level 1-33:


-->Increase Avg Damage by 2 points: 1000g
-Appliables '''[Requires 3 points each]''' (Swimming, thorn/ice/crystal shield)


-->Increase Avg Damage by 4 points: 2500g


-->Increase Avg Damage by 6 points: 4500g


-->Increase Avg Damage by 8 points: 6800g
'''Tradeoff Points''' work the same way, but for each tradeoff point you exchange, a negative statistic of equal caliber needs to also be applied. For example, if you used a tradeoff point to apply +1 STR to a sword, you would need to add a minus to something elsewhere, as well (-1 CON/DEX/WIS/INT, -50 HP/MANA, -75 MOV [Adding +'s to AC is not allowed as a tradeoff in this instance]).






-Level 34-70:


-->Increase Avg Damage by 2 points: 1500g


-->Increase Avg Damage by 4 points: 3000g


-->Increase Avg Damage by 6 points: 6500g
==Restrictions & Allowances==


-->Increase Avg Damage by 8 points: 9000g


The following level ranges each have their own maximum-allowed points and restrictions otherwise (note that note all tradeoff points HAVE to be used; they are there for those who want them), as well as the 'purchase price' that will be given to the item once it is placed in a player shop (Waist-slot items are an exception; see bottom of level range list for waist item specifications):

==Alternate Customization Method==




'''Starting Spell Slots:'''
Separately, a player may provide a currently existing, non-quest-reward (some other restrictions may apply) item for customization, and tweak it to their preference based on what already exists (a wand that casts a different spell, food that gives a different effect, etc.). This situation will be a case-by-case basis, so talking to and discussing with Lilly about your desires in this case is the best idea.


-Level 1-25: 1 slot


-Level 26-50: 2 slots


-Level 51-75: 3 slots


-Level 76-100: 4 slots


==Final Note==




 
If there is something that you want that isn't listed here, please discuss it with Lilly. It is likely that there may've been something that was intended to be included but was overlooked, though it may not always be the case. Some additions may be made if Lilly feels they don't upset the Cleft balance, but the idea is to allow the normal acquisition of loot through exploration and discovery to remain the best way to acquire the best equipment, and this method only as a small extension of the restringing process of one's own devices. If it seems like the customization process is limited in scope, it's likely because it is meant to be this way; it isn't meant as a go-to do-all for every piece of equipment one can obtain for every level.

-->Add 'Adhesive' Flag (item stays with the player after death): 1000g
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
==Give and Take==
 
Adding positive aspects to an object is not the only way to create something new!  By adding detrimental aspects to an item, you are able to give yourself 'allowance' on an item to use as credit towards other traits.  Here's an example: Someone adds +1 Str to an item, which costs 500g.  Instead of paying 500g, they also add -1 Int to the item, which sets them back to an even balance of no cost. By choosing where to place positive aspects and where to place negative aspects that may not hurt you too terribly, you can offset the cost of your finished product!  Detrimental effects work the same way backward as they do forward, which means that adding a -4 to Wis, for example, will allow you to add +4 to Con at no additional cost!
 
 
 
==Final Notes==
 
If there are ANY questions about this process (think of it like a workshop!), please don't hesitate to contact Lilly via note or tell, if available online at the time.  Though very detailed in its premise, I'm sure there are things I did not think of to include here that could likely be thought up by players, and I usually enjoy hearing about new ideas or insights.  Additionally, haggling is an option!  If there is something that you really, REALLY want, but is not listed as an available choice (within the confines of minimum and maximum allowances), ask Lilly about it.  Chances are it's going to cost more to have it your way, but if its reasonable, there's a very good chance it can be created to your liking.

Item Customization

Custom items and equipment are available for those who have purchased a Shop Vendor for their player house. While the idea of creating personalized equipment is exciting, bear in mind that created items are not able to be tailored to be as powerful as equipment that exists out there in the world, keeping exploration and discovery a prime requisite for establishing the 'best' equipment for anyone out there.


All customized objects, regardless of how weak or powerful they are, will require a fee of 1000g and 1 Restring Token. This is separate from the purchase price to buy it from a player's shop (see below). Additional fees may be required if customization aspects are requested and granted outside the boundaries that have been listed on this page.




How It Works

Equipment customization works on a 'point'-based system. More 'points' are allowed for higher-level equipment, and each 'point' can be applied to a piece of equipment to customize it in numerous ways.


Each level range of equipment has two different types of 'points': FIXED POINTS and TRADEOFF POINTS.


Fixed Points are simply points that you can exchange for a variety of statistics and affects to be applied to your equipment, within the restrictions given for each level range (see listings below).


Statistical additions can be applied as follows (1 point exchanged for one 'boost' of one of the following):


- 1 point of STR, DEX, CON, WIS, INT, or DAMROLL

- 2 HITROLL

- 50 of either HP or MANA

- 75 MOV

- Minus 3 AC rating



Affect additions can be applied as follows (in varying point-exchange amounts):


-Resistance [Requires 3 points each] (fire, cold, electricity, acid, poison, holy, energy, mental, water, light, sound, wood, silver, iron, wind, earth, dark)


-Weapon [Requires 1 point each] (fire/frost/vampiric/shocking/poison/holy/unholy/acidic/disrupting/earthy/soulblade damage, measuring/loud/mystery unique effects)


-Extra [Requires 1 point each] (nodestroy [drink containers don't poof when used up], adhesive, nochk [items don't require an artifice check to be used successfully], noexplode [wands/charged items don't poof when used up])


-Extra2 [Do not require points] (glow, hum, magic, anticlass, antigender, antirace)


-Appliables [Requires 3 points each] (Swimming, thorn/ice/crystal shield)


Tradeoff Points work the same way, but for each tradeoff point you exchange, a negative statistic of equal caliber needs to also be applied. For example, if you used a tradeoff point to apply +1 STR to a sword, you would need to add a minus to something elsewhere, as well (-1 CON/DEX/WIS/INT, -50 HP/MANA, -75 MOV [Adding +'s to AC is not allowed as a tradeoff in this instance]).




Restrictions & Allowances

The following level ranges each have their own maximum-allowed points and restrictions otherwise (note that note all tradeoff points HAVE to be used; they are there for those who want them), as well as the 'purchase price' that will be given to the item once it is placed in a player shop (Waist-slot items are an exception; see bottom of level range list for waist item specifications):

All other objects (food, scrolls, potions, etc.) need to be discussed with Lilly, since they are too numerous to be listed here.

Alternate Customization Method

Separately, a player may provide a currently existing, non-quest-reward (some other restrictions may apply) item for customization, and tweak it to their preference based on what already exists (a wand that casts a different spell, food that gives a different effect, etc.). This situation will be a case-by-case basis, so talking to and discussing with Lilly about your desires in this case is the best idea.



Final Note

If there is something that you want that isn't listed here, please discuss it with Lilly. It is likely that there may've been something that was intended to be included but was overlooked, though it may not always be the case. Some additions may be made if Lilly feels they don't upset the Cleft balance, but the idea is to allow the normal acquisition of loot through exploration and discovery to remain the best way to acquire the best equipment, and this method only as a small extension of the restringing process of one's own devices. If it seems like the customization process is limited in scope, it's likely because it is meant to be this way; it isn't meant as a go-to do-all for every piece of equipment one can obtain for every level.
