WYRM WARRIORS: DESIGN EQUIPMENT

During Liberty's Let's Try for the first release of Wyrm Warriors, she mentioned making items that referenced games on RMN and LockeZ provided an awesome list of them! And that got me thinking: It would be a lot of fun if we have a lot of equipment that is related to the RMN community. Unfortunately, I've only been on the site for half a year and don't know all of its rich ten-plus year history, (and I haven't played every game on here, by far XD) so I'll need help for this part.

What we're looking for is Equipment that references games on RMN and equipment that references users/events/memes etc from RMN. Here's a form for them:

Equipment Name:
Equipment Type: (Sword, shield, accessory, etc)
Description: (Will go in the description box in the game window. Make sure to keep it to a somewhat short sentence, as all equipment lists the stat changes and we'll need to make sure we have room).
Other Notes: (What stats should this boost? (other than what a weapon/armor of that type would)? Should it be found in a special place? Does it need to be found late or early in the game? List anything else that might be useful about it)

It'll mostly be loot and higher-tier stuff, as I'm not sure we'll get enough for every piece of equipment in every store (though I could be wrong ^_^).

When making items based on users, try to avoid anything hurtful or overly negative. Playful ribbing is fine as long as it stays at that level. We want to celebrate the community, after all.

Also, I'm totally fine and I actively encourage everyone to make an item based on themselves if they want. We're going to need plenty of gear, after all, and if you make an item based on yourself and someone else makes one too, chances are we'll have room for both.

You don't have to worry about exact stats, as I'll work with those based on when they appear in-game. Let's fill the game with as many cool community references as we can :D

If there already is a Bludgeon of Inspiration...

Equipment Name:
X!XX!X's Plate
Description:
Forged from a material from the Astral Plane, there are few armors that can boast batter protection.
Other Notes:
Probably a "heavy" armor, as far as category goes. I'm gonna say that this come in late-game, since I'm imaging the DEF bonus to be pretty freaking huge.

Now, here's an interesting game-based reference:

Item name
Ghost Shard
Description:
Revives an ally with X% health.
Other Notes:
I'm obviously pretty lenient on where we want this in respect to other revival items.

Oh, man, I'm doing this, aren't I?

Item name:
Luxaren's Allure
Description:
Attracts enemies from further away. Lasts for 1 minute. Increases EXP while active.
Other notes:
I seriously doubt this general idea will even be accepted.

Last one, I swear.

Equipment Name:
Arbiter's Staff
Description:
The power within this staff feels otherworldly.
Other Notes:
Darigaaz, the references! Anyway, I think this could see this mid-game? Eh, I guess I'm not terribly concerned.
Where is the list LockeZ gave?

anywho...

Item name
Hero's Helm
Description:
Incredible base stats, but otherwise unremarkable.
Other Notes:
This helm is showcased in the first town in a museum or somesuch, but you have to bribe the museum's administrator to get it.

Where is the list LockeZ gave?

Silly me, I totally meant to include that in the post and then forgot. Here it is!

author=LockeZ
I like your idea for healing item names.

Health Recovery: Pom Gets HP
Health Recovery: I'm Spared of Gnarls
Health Recovery: Mr. Sunrise
Mana Recovery: Legionwood Sap
Mana Recovery: Wine and Rosemary
Mana Recovery: Star Sealing Mints
Health + Mana Recovery: Hero's Overwhelm
Status Recovery: Heartache Sour Pills
Status Recovery: Vision Vase
Revival Item: Altar of Aila

I'm not sure if we need any more recovery items, as I made them with a small selection on purpose since they get regenerated. The only healing item that's unnamed is the Elixir (full HP/MP recovery), so you all can suggest names for that if you like.

As for, say, the Ghost Shard, I could totally see that as an Auto-Life sort of accessory.

Yeah, it might be a good idea to link to LockeZ's post. Or Liberty's LP in general.
Item name:
Banhammer
Description:
A big-ass 2 handed hammer with decent damage
Other Notes:
Attacks have a chance of banishing/instakilling the enemy

Item Name:
Final Gear III
Description:
Barbed armor that reflects a percentage of damage back onto attackers. It is also excellent at deflecting/avoiding critical attacks.
Other Notes:
The armor is incredibly heavy, like 90 lbs.

EDIT:
Item Name:
Beautifulesque Cape
Description:
Accessory that boosts critical chance significantly. Also boosts charm/mind affecting skills.
Other Notes:
Cursed. Makes one more susceptible to madness/chaos.

Item name:
Visor of Voices
Description:
Accessory that boosts magic attacks. Also reveals invisible chests/loot on the map.


Other ideas:
Demon Leggings
Phantom Leggings
Space Funnel
Generic Can
Heartbreaker 101
The Ribbon of Longing

Equipment Name:
Aremen Bros.
Description:
One of a pair of daggers used by King Aremen in various ceremonies.
Other Notes:
Are there even people that duel-wield in this game? I wasn't even looking. If so, having both equipped seems like there should be some extra benefit.


*Edit: Darigaaz, I went there. Stop. Stop now.

Got any Dexreth amulets?

"Beautifulesque Cape" is like the best idea ever!

Some more ideas:

Equipment Name:
The Grumpy Knife

Weapon (dagger/knife)
Description:
A small but intimidating blade that deals Dark damage.

Equipment Name:
Master-of-the-Wand
Equipment type:
Weapon (wand)
Description:
A powerful artifact shrouded in mystery. Normal attacks have a chance to blind.

Equipment Name:
Chainmail of Retribution
Equipment type:
Armor (heavy)
Description:
Unique magical armor that grants its wearer a high counterattack chance.
the Chainmail of Retribution should give like a 50% counterattack rate.
unity
You're magical to me.

These are great! Beautifulesque Cape and Chainmail of Retribution are my favorites so far! ^_^ You all are the best!

E: And I agree about the counterattack on the chainmail
Time to hit the Send Me In, Coach button and go for it~

Equipment Name: O-BAM RPG
Equipment Type: Gun
Description: A gun like a cannon that does as much damage as noise.
Other Notes: Flame damage with a chance to burn.

Equipment Name: Cape of DOOM

Description: DOOM once wore this. Who was DOOM? Who knows? It is cute, though.
Other Notes: Only wearable by women, it boosts Barrier and MATK by 20%.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Not-Bubble Bauble
Type: Accessory
Description: A trinket designed to look like a famous and revered clock that is said to allow time travel. However, the trinket's power has nothing to do with the clock. It was made to look that way as a joke.
Effects: Resist water, vulnerable to instant death

Edited the "Chainmail of Retribution".

Also, these:

Equipment Name:
Sky Robe
Equipment type:
Armor (light)
Description:
A very long robe from the top of the sky. Protects against wind damage.


Equipment Name:
The Unity
Equipment type:
Accessory
Description:
Wyrm Warriors, unite! A legendary jewel that does not only raise many stats, but also grants the entire party a moderate stat boost as long as its wearer is in the active formation.

(I think unity deserves some extra credit for all the time and energy she put into this project.)
Equipment Name:
Ara Felt Hat
Equipment type:
Hat
Description:
Worn by hipsters everywhere, this classic hat has one too many decorations.
Isrieri
"My father told me this would happen."
6155
Name: Amulet of Samarkand
Type: Amulet
Description: Legend has it that the amulet has the ability to rewrite the universal source code to the whim of the wearer. Currently sought after by a wizard in a blue cloak.
Effects: Magic costs no MP. (Maybe, it possesses greater powers if you know how to use it)

Name: Cricket Bat
Type: Club
Description: A hunk of wood that looks like a 2x4 on a stick.
Effects: Deals light damage. Can cause a splinter to become lodged in the target's eye, lowering accuracy. If you have Cricket Balls, you can use the bat to strike the enemy with them.

Name: Cricket Ball
Type: Consumable
Description: A red ball.
Effects: If you throw this at an enemy, it will strike them for a little bit of damage. If used with a cricket bat, the true nature of the balls is revealed, as the bat primes the explosive gelignite within the ball. Deals heavy fire/bomb elemental damage to a single target.

Name: Metal Blade
Type: Battle Item
Description: A saw blade you can throw. Consumable. Very rare item.
Effects: Deals damage equal to the target's Max HP / 2.

Name: Winged Shoe
Type: Battle Item
Description: It doesn't have wings on it. In reality, the wing is painted on the side of this sneaker. To acquire this item, you have to sign a bunch of affidavits for the church that you won't use it for evil and will pay a tithe of your current GP each time you use the item.
Effects: When used as an item in battle, it summons Hermes, god of Bureaucracy. But he's too busy, so he sends an angelic Temp. in his stead. The Temp. deals moderate defense-piercing holy damage to all enemies. Sometimes Hermes comes in person.

Name: Rod of Ruin
Type: Magic Rod
Description: A scepter of unimaginable power hidden in an ancient crypt - it can disintegrate anything. Except living matter. In truth, this is just a glorified door-opener. It can open any door, magic or otherwise...by disintegrating it.
Effects: An orange beam of intense heat bursts forth that opens doors for you.

Name: Drama Bomb
Type: Bomb
Description: A white & red striped bomb.
Effects: When thrown, it deals heavy bomb/fire damage and causes Confusion.

Type: Axe
Description: Its an axe. You don't care what it looks like, you only care about what it does.
Effects: Has a significant chance of silencing enemies.

Name: Generic Can
Type: A can of spinach. Empty.
Description: A tin can you could sell for about 2 GP if you wanted. But if you take it to a specialist to have it examined for magical properties, it's true nature is revealed.
Effects: Does nothing

Name: Zero's Portable Portal
Type: Field Item
Description: This empty Generic Can, when examined, is revealed to be a powerful magic item created by the sorcerer Zero. It leads to his hidden inter-dimensional fortress.
Effects: Teleports the party to Zero's fortress, where they may rest, purchase equipment or items, and receive hints on where to go next. The fortress is somewhat impossible in its architecture.
Equipment Name: The Drop
Equipment Type: Gun
Description: Being shot by this gun feels as if you fell to your death.
Other Notes: This is probably late game, it could also raise healing moderately and magic very slightly to parallel the Body, Mind and Soul system.

Equipment Name: Heartbreaker 101
Equipment Type: Acessory
Description: A cute little heart-shaped trinket. It reminds you of the pursuit of love.
Other Notes: Early game, most likely dropped by a monster like the roses. Raises healing, barrier and Max HP.

Equipment Name: Save the Administrator
Equipment Type: Sword
Description: An ancient sword used to protect the ruling administrator and moderators.
Other Notes: Late game sword, gain a few points of MP whenever you attack an enemy with a plain attack. MP amount could be whatever is balanced.

Equipment Name: Amelia's Dagger
Equipment Type: Dagger
Description: A dagger that used to be wielded by a female assassin with an attitude and beautiful green hair.
Other Notes: early game, Water type, 10% chance of instant death on attack but does very little for your attack to compensate.

Equipment Name: Hamedo Hamedo Hamedo~
Equipment Type: Accessory
Description: Beautiful bangle with a mushroom shaped charm attached.
Other Notes: Allows for the equipping person to have a small chance to counterattack. (10%?) Increases chance to counter attack by 10% if you can already counter. Mid-game or sometime before any other counterattack boosters are introduced.

Equipment Name:
Gourde's Clay Mask
Description:
A rather handsome face that causes certain foes to avoid the wearer. Males only.
Other Info:
Possibly a "magic" helm, as far as category is concerned.

Side-note: Now that I think on it, maybe Luxaren's Allure can be an accessory that alters the rate at which actors can be targeted? Luxaren's Allure would be a females-only accessory. You know, to help the reference along. Yeah, that's the ticket.

That works! And I'm totally not above putting in a reference to my own game (especially since someone else suggested it XD )

EDIT: I'll try some!

Equipment Name: Rod of Crawling Eyes
