Unique crafting
-
One of the things that bothers me is that all items are commodities. Crafters cannot do anything to make their stuff unique, and therefore it is just a matter of waiting until you get gold borders and buy the cheapest version. I would like to suggest something that has been stolen from a few sources.
Legends would have a small chance to drop a trophy. Crafters could put up, up to three trophies in their house (using stand they must build). Each trophy gives them a slight buff to something crafted. This could be to all items, or a nice buff to particular items. This only applies to things made in their house. Towns could get additional unique buffs as season rewards (limited to season) that would stack on top of house rewards. This would make each crafted item unique in its own way without becoming over powered. It would also lead to more crafters rather than simply boosting a single guild person.
