New manufacturing feature: Meld
The purpose is to add something to manufacturing to make it worth going through the hustle, with the additional benefit of removing unused/common items out of the economy to increase their price.
Meld will be an added command to the anvil when you double click on it (you'll be shown both and have to choose one).
It will work just like manufacturing: you add the ingredients and make the item. The difference will be that you'll receive the same item with a name based on the meld stage, and the item will have its stat with up to 50% increase at random. For example:
- Sword of Thirst (50% skill required): 2 Swords of Thirst, 1 Werewolf Teeth, 1 Mithral.
- Result: 1 Sword of Thirst (Meld 1), with HP drain increased at random from 10% to 50%, so instead of 20% drain it can have up to 30% drain.
- Lightning Blade (60%): 2 Lightning Blades, 1 Unicorn Antenna, 1 Mithral.
- Result: 1 Lightning Blade (Meld 1), with Light damage increased at random from 10% to 50%.
The item can be melded indefinitely, but of course, manu rng means you can lose it at any point. Xelima upgrades will remain on the final item, even if the 2 items don't have the same upgrades, so BS+1 and BS+0 will result in BS+1 Meld 1.
Melding adds to the manu skill just like manu does.
The list and its ingredients will be:
- Sword of Thirst (50% skill required): 2 Sword of Thirst, 1 Werewolf Teeth, 1 Mithral
- Magic Wand MS32 (50%): 2 Magic Wand MS32, 1 Ogre Teeth, 1 Mithral. Melding adds MS rate.
- Lightning Blade (60%): 2 Lightning Blade, 1 Werewolf Nail, 1 Mithral
- Dark Executor (60%): 2 Dark Executor, 1 Ogre Hair, 1 Mithral.
- Resu wand MS10/MS20 (70%): 2 Resu wand, 1 Lucky Gold ring, 1 Mithral. Melding increases HP regen when resurrected up to 100%.
- Blood items (80%, all): 2 Blood item, 1 Demon Heart, 1 Ruby ring, 1 Mithral. Melding increases added HR.
- GBH (90%): 2 GBH, 1 Demon Leather, 1 Ring of Dragon Power, 1 Mithral. Melding increases strip rate.
- Kloness items (100%, all): 2 Kloness item, 1 Unicorn Antenna, 1 Emerald Ring, 1 Mithral. Melding increases added kloness damage.
