Quality parameter for items #1

Open Toma400 opened 2 years ago

Toma400 commented 2 years ago

Small idea, which will be useful both in quests and in skill/event situation: quality parameter for items.

Ideas how it could affect gameplay greatly (example: sword):

  1. specific quest requesting you to forge new sword would end up differently depending on quality of the sword forged
  2. traders could ask for different prices for poor-quality and good-quality sword
  3. skills could affect not only possibility of creating specific item, but also the quality; for example - good skills in blacksmithing would mean better quality swords
  4. with fight-related items, quality can affect their effective use (for example: weak sword can have small chance to break, or deal smaller damage, or be more difficult to use)

Implemented as items.json parameter, not used further as of yet, though. Items.json parameter sets maximum obtainable quality of item, resulting that if you craft/buy an item, it will randomly (or semi-randomly, depending on ability) get something between the worst and its maximum quality. Inventory.json parameter will have separate quality value, which will be local for this specific item. Any quality/durability-affected item should not "stack", to avoid errors. Implemented key for stacking.
