Alternate Pets/Armory

Whereas if I have in my 'bank' a suit designed for water combat and i'm going to the ocean...i'll take it, but I wouldn't take it to a desert environment.

That being said this could also make requip mages redundant to some extent

So far, we've come up with the thought that the limitation will be used, but only 1 weapon, 1 armor, 1 item, and 1 pet can be used while in that job and that the job will be denied if the stuff selected for the job are not used, but something else is.


But thoughts? Input? Suggestions? How do you want this to work?

Taking away / limiting what is already available to members is one of the worst things a site can do.    


What would be the point of that anyway other than to be overbearing and restrictive?    That's just a new imposed limit without benefit. 

Just keep things the same,  the same current limits,   but allow people to own more items than the current limits provide,  but you can simply only take the limit into jobs.  ie;  There is no Ownership limit (Except for Mythicals),  and the current ownership limit becomes a new Usage limit. 

1Myth, 2Arts, 2Armors, 3 Magic Items. 1 Legendary, 1 Strong, N/A Weaks. 
(Then there were the raffle events that allowed additions to this limit)

This way it is only a net benefit for everyone,  a positive change to the site. 

Otherwise you unnecessarily cripple those who may have worked hard to fill those slots.   Imagine if you were a minimal to no magic Knight character who relied on your items,  and now suddenly more than half your gear was unavailable.     Besides, any warrior worth anything takes more than 1 weapon and 1 item anywhere they expect a fight,  and "armor" can be anything from a suit of armor to a protective bracelet.




Example:  You just changed pets,  allowing an unlimited number of noncombat pets.  But only one per topic.   That is a benefit to the site,  it does not limit anything anyone already can do.  It just allows people to possess more noncombat pets,  when they already could only use one per topic previously.
This is exactly like that.    No change to what already exists,  just the addition of ownership over more.  



It would probably be best for no change at all to this system.

You're literally telling me what we're already doing. xD We're dropping the current limits, but only allowing one of each category within a topic...

Your example at the bottom explains what we're doing like to a T.

That's exactly what I'm saying not to do though. 

That is limiting what people are already capable of,  extremely so.    That is a massive limitation out of nowhere to how the site has functioned for years. 

It effectively has no benefit,  it is purely a massive limit. 

I'm saying you shouldn't touch what people are already capable of,  the current allowance remaining the current allowance.    

Just let people list in their bank Reservoir, a list of items they possess in excess of what is normally allowed.
When signing up for a job they can say in the job template "Replacing X (Item they normally have) for X from the reserve". 

Then it will be quick, efficient, and purely a benefit to everyone.

That's the point of this topic.  Which I said isn't necessary,  but going along with this topic,  then yes.  Exactly that.

No change to current limits.    But ""Break"" the limit to simply own more items than normally allowed,  separating them from your normal items in your Bank where you're required to list them anyway.

When signing up for a job,  just say you're replacing an item for an item from your "Reserve".

Nobody appreciates random limits like suddenly only being able to use 1 weapon.   That's the opposite of what this thread was asking for.
