Well hello folks and welcome to another day at insanityville :D!
We just came from a big sig-item revamp, which, hopefully, made them a tad better, or at least more balanced.
We are gonna do now the same with the non-sig items, specially the non-consumable ones. Yes, I don't intend to touch on berries for now at least. We will roll like we did on the sig items topic, following these steps:
1) Remove the items deemed "not-workable". We are looking at ones that can't be made viable without giving them brand new effects overall. If we are to give "brand new effects" then creating new items entirely is more adviseable.
2) Remove the items deemed "just right". Only the items there is no doubt about.
3) Separate the ones deemed "too good". And see how the list ammounts to 0.
4) Separate the ones deemed "too weak". The items that remain after we separate the "too good"s and the "too weak"s will join the list of "just right" items.
5) Work with the "too good" list. Or not.
6) Work with the "too weak" list
7) Rework prices.
8) ???
9) Profit!
The items we are looking at are:
There is a possibility of including new items at some point in this discussion. But it will only happen if there is a need for it and if good ideas come around. Those will be held (if they are held in the first place) in a difference conversation, if the ideas are approved by the mod team.
- - - -
Anyway, to start: which items we shouldn't bother to tweak? I mean, the items that, made for an ingame enviroment, can't work properly here no matter how hard we hammer them.
Right now the list is:
- Choice Scarf
- Choice Band
- Choice Specs
- Safety Goggles
Anyone have any other suggestion of item we shouldn't worry about?
If no discussion in 72h we move on. Assume that rule is always in place.

There is a possibility of including new items at some point in this discussion. But it will only happen if there is a need for it and if good ideas come around. Those will be held (if they are held in the first place) in a difference conversation, if the ideas are approved by the mod team.

Anyway, to start: which items we shouldn't bother to tweak? I mean, the items that, made for an ingame enviroment, can't work properly here no matter how hard we hammer them.
Right now the list is:
- Choice Scarf
- Choice Band
- Choice Specs
- Safety Goggles
Anyone have any other suggestion of item we shouldn't worry about?
If no discussion in 72h we move on. Assume that rule is always in place.
