levelable Weapon Reset deed

I wish there was a levelable weapon reset deed. I.E. a weapon that resets the points spent and not the lvls themselves, so if you use it on per say a 30 weapon you will get 90 points for a crafted or 150 for an artie..
ofc it would have to be uber expensive...

Well the only problem with it is that the values are all combined when applying the points. That is, there's no record of what the original weapon looked like.
The only thing that currently covers it would be the player service for getting an item from a backup. Which comes together to 110ED.

I dunno, it's kinda like an un-do mistake deed. If we had that why not add unbreed deeds for breeding mistakes or undo deed for runics when the item comes out poorly. Seems like another benefit for the more established/wealthier players to me.

Meh, 100k tokens really aren't that bad, a few days at most.

bummer well that wouldnt cover what i wanted anyway so.. tough luck

guess ill get another pair of the same wep and redo
and a response to liam, I dont see how the older "wealthier players" would be favorized when resetting something, equal for everyone there. And I dont see the resemblance on a runic used and a levelable weapon, runics are chance everyone knows that... levelable weapons arent.

Well, you can get it restored to any point in the past. Although that player service was ment more for things that you lost due to not-insuring it.
Anyway somehow it's not good if you can buy yourself out of any mistake

point is, your choices for the weapon are not being logged.
In the programming world we call this "actual data retention" (versus: historic data retention)
So there is no way of undoing a previous step short of digging in older backups and restoring an item from there.
this request would require a massive amount of coding for very little gain, not to mention the fact that we would have to convert already existing levelled weps to the new versions, like with elven notes/silver

Well it could be all done automatically (some extra serialization) but yea simply a whole lot of coding for practically no value gain.

Not sure how exactly the deed works, but upon using it to turn a weapon levelable, cant you dupe the weapon and store the copy inside the actualy levelable weapon? That way you always have the beginning point stored. Combined with the amount of levels you can then return to the original weapon and refund the gained points.

Yes it's technically possible for weapons that would be made levelable from then on, but making it all and testing it all, just so that 2 people per year would use it, i don't think that's useful.

Supply me with the proper code material and I might just do it

I think there's a lot more useful things in the approved pile.
