Great idea, And i've found the full image for the shield in the test folder on Kingdoms Debug

Its wonderfull ! :)

And after you need to upgrade Golden hook (its on debug) for get a sexy set :D

i havent been negative lately ..

My vote is the "trade a piece of armor to a shop on the Kingdom island and get Kingdom themed armor of the same type with the same stats" idea.

I like this idea...

That way no Kingdom has an advantage, so you won't just join a Kingdom for stats.

PoJo's idea is nice. I just need better equipment first...

Though I wonder what effect this would have on the economy... that is, when you start putting very rare items through this process.

no one would put very rare items through it, so its stupid.
could just make them craftable, and add some new things you need for the recipes, in some.... NEW CONTENT?!?!?!?! (not impossible dust or unheard of reagents like there usually is)

I don't see it that way at all. And so what if they don't put rare items through it. The point of these items is not "OMG STATS!" but instead "OMG KINGDOM REP'N".

If you want it for show, just hunt down some chainmail and trade it in. If you want it for stats and show, put something nicer in.

Too bad they don't have reputation or faction points to worry about to get higher ranks or points to spend on these items. Or even events or quests to work at to obtain these items.

As it is now, staff will probably just release a few of each of these items and never release anymore. Unless they are craftable in some way, which is also doubtfull as they will probably require something dumb like diamonds or gold keys.

They were ment to be event off and then made craftable at anytime. Though I like Pojo's idea.. and who says it has to be permenant? They could have it setup just like God given items, you trade a piece of gear in and then it comes out looking like your kingdom set. Though if you drop it or trade it, it takes it's original form again. That would also keep it kingdom locked.

I can't see why this game needs more elite items, as they are one of the elements ruining this game.

So I support Pojos Idea: Kingdom themed Items for Kingdom Members.

This idea works too.
