You may or may not ask now why! See, almost every Donation Heagear (Not considering now if Donating makes you OP or whatever else) has some defined Stats and abilities which makes it less or more worth. Basically, people come to give certain Donation a ,,value" which is sad! This way, everyone looks kinda the same, wearing the same Donation stuff and whatever else. So I came to the conclusion, why is this so? I mean, what I am going to tell you know is surely not the newest idea which has never ever had before, but still I am wondering why nobody did this so far: Donations WITHOUT any Effects or Skills. Just for the look! Well, thats not excactly true to be honest. What I am thinking about is Selling various Headgears via Donation Shop and each purchase also gives you an... lets call it ,,Coupon". With this ,,Coupon" you can go to <Insert Random Name> and ,,enchant" your Donation Headgears with various stuff. Each Item can hold up to 4 Slots and the Item does not care much bout if it is filled by Cards or Enchant Crystals. Imagine being individual, wear your own Headgears you like PLUS enchant it with what ever you like. Nobody looks like you anymore and for sure, nobody will know what ,,hidden enchants" you got. A few Example which could be used as enchanting (Depending on what kind of server you got): +10% Atk or Matk +10 to any or all Stats or even skills! You can limit the enchantability from 1 to 4 ,,Orbs" per Headgear. So... why has no one did that before I wonder, or let's say, why isnt it more common?

Like, 20 headgears with the same effect for mage, etc. That's how I would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it still does not change the ,,I know what your Headgear effect is so I can counter you better" Problem. Individuality! Freedom of Enchanting! No default Strategy due to the Equipment the enemy wears! (Does that sound to you like I am a President xD? Vote for me tralalala!)

I always thought that all donations should have no set stats and that you should buy the one you wanted based on pure looks (aka your taste, your choice). Then you could go to an enchanter that could give you the enchants to make it fit your character. Where you idea and mine differ, though, is in the randomized benefits. I actually didn't think of that one, but I agree that it would be a good solution and it does stick to the fundamental idea of what compensating players for donations is supposed to be (a gift of apreciation for helping keep the server up). Don't know if that was your idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or, give it buffs but have them be simple and not overpowered, like a blessing level 3 instead of level 10 when hit. Then you're really just wearing it for looks, but the buffs are nice too.

The Custom System can but usually do not offer Effects. But yes, it could be used as a backdoor to implement this ,,Look like you want with the effect you need" for older servers without changing their complete Donation System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
