!ID Items

[rylan]

I'm wondering if we can have the remaining !!ID flags on items removed.

In particular, it was mentioned a while back that bard instruments that were !ID were getting the flag removed, since with the new stats for quality and stutter on them we need to know if its any good. It was probably an oversight since its a rare item, but 'a rosewood mandolin' was left with the !ID flag, so we can't tell if its any good. Can that one be fixed?

[Dizzin]

I utterly agree. Down with !ID foolishness.

[Lilithelle]

your not intended to know everything! though removing from instruments would be good for comparison of stuttering etc is good.

For the singers' sake, instruments should all be looked at for flags, !ID and not flagged "HOLD" item but not instrument, !ID flags should stay in, though. But I'd love to see the lore skill be able to sometimes reveal the stats. Make it require a minimum skill, then randomize it.

Just a thought...

!ID on weapons always seemed to me to be a way for coders or areabuilders to sneak in secret powerups for themselves, or to have a chuckle at people wielding a 6/6 1d1 proc_something_nice sword.

Since we don't stick to a sword doing 1d8 base damage then surely a warrior would be able to tell that the Ultimate Sword of Huge Spanking was as blunt as a cabbage?

no id anything sucks and doesnt serve a valid purpose

beyond that.

!id things should not beallowed on auction

What would be the point in ever becoming an imm?
