I like the concept of games using legendary weapons. They're very cool. However, I think that there should only be one of each weapon to be used. However, here's what I think should be done to balance out legendary weapons with normal weapons :

Limit 1 per server, per legendary weapon,
Stats are only slightly increased from best generic weapon of it's class.

As an example, let's say there are many legendary sword weapons. The Excalibur and the Calad Bolg, used as examples, will be similar, however, they have different special effects, different art, etc. Let's say the best generic sword in their class would be the dragon scale sword. The dragon scale sword will have... about 75 atk, while the excalibur / calad bolg has about 85 atk.


Legendary weapons should glow, as they're fucking awesome.

I'm assuming you guys will put PvP in this MMO, since a MMO without PvP is quite bland.

Legendary weapon holders will probably be PK targets, since legendary weapons are so awesome. People who kill the legendary weapon holder should be able to loot the weapon (makes hording weapons difficult).

When a legendary weapon is looted, there should be a message proclaiming so, as an owner of a legendary weapon should be known, even though the glowing weapon will show it anyway.

Just my thoughts. There's a lot more to say, but I simply like the idea of having one kind of each legendary weapon. It's kind of pointless to call a weapon "legendary" if every person and their mother can get one.

I disagree. That gives an advantage to the wielder that others can never obtain.

Which is why other players will attempt to PK for the weapon. Fighting over a legendary weapon should be the only way a person can get one. It degrades the point of a weapon being "legendary" if everyone person and their mother is walking around with the Excalibur.

Whoops, missed the PKing part. But wouldn't that result in an endless chase against the person with the said artifacts? Said artifact holder wouldn't be able to go anywhere(assuming that towns are safety zones) without a crowd following.

only works if pvp is decided by skill rather than who grinds the most for levels. then the truly skilled can keep the weapon. maybe there can be multiples of such class like different legendary swords each with unique powerful effects fr the sword class. then there can be epic battles of the users with these weapons

Problems would occur if a holder goes inactive for a long amount of time, unless letting the Legendary Weapons disappear from the server doesnt matter much. (Im guessing a holder would be able to keep his own in a PVP fight, though if it's a free for all, then a hoard would just massacre him. And if it's one on one, you cant form teams to fight for it)

Make the legendary weapon give minus stats too, so it excels in some things but is lacking in others.

Hmm. This actually seems like a pretty good idea. Kind of like the seal titles in mabinogi, but better because not only one person can horde the thing for eternity and never let anyone else in the server have a chance to wield its glory. I like this. But there should be like a time limit sort of thing. LIke they can only have it for a month and then after a month, it dissappears if it hasn't found a new owner. And then the GMs give away a new one.
