Upgradeable weapons

[Don Desini]

I've read through this entire weapons and armor thread and rather than suggest an individual weapon idea ,I'd rather see the implementation of crafting lead to upgradeable weapons. From a smithing craft maybe? It could be at a higher level of the craft. Learn to make weapons first,then hone them and enchant them using different items. Gems to increase elemental effects,trollskin around a handle for poison resist, sand from the red hills to sharpen a blade. Lots of possibilities. Maybe even a quest that is only for those with smithing craft where they have to retrieve a legendary hammer that can balance a blade with one swing. Hammer used only by smiths to balance blade and to add +1 to a weapons speed and Crit chance.

Just a few ideas of mine. Probably way too hard to implement.

Crafting will definitely be a part of the game in the future, it's just not been implemented yet. I imagine that it will allow for modifiers to be added to existing weapons, such as using a number of poisonous spider sacs to add poison damage, but don't quote me on that

Yea like that new skill in runescape... what ever it was called I remember seeing normal gear with future upgrades so that would be epic in this game

Poison mastery is already an advanced skill. I was hoping for something a little different. Being able to tweek your weapon and get slightly better stats out of an already good weapon,would go a long way in a game like this.
