Item Fusion

I'm sure everyone remembers the AQ3D team announcing 'item fusion' as a feature for the game during the AQ3D Kickstarter. What do you think, even after the AQ3D team added cosmetics? Would you still like to see item fusion? If so, is there anything different you want to see with item fusion?

Spoiler: ▼ Weapon and Armor Fusion

Your hard earned weapons and armor will NEVER become useless when new content is released. AdventureQuest 3D lets you power up any item through item fusion. Combine two items together, keeping the look of one and the power/stats from the other. Just a hunch, but they will never suspect that twig you have been keeping around since level 1 has the destructive power of a level 100 death scythe fused into it.


Weapon fusion means no item will ever become useless!

I'd actually like to see item fusion added in one way or another way. Since the AQ3D team did announce it on the Kickstarter page, it sort of seems like a feature promised. I would say item fusion would be a lot better than cosmetics, because you can save inventory space by fusing items into one item.

Depending on how it's done, it could also get rid of redundant clones of items like the Nightlocke weapons which exist in different levels.

I like the idea of adding stats from one item onto another item, but what would really be interesting is actual fusion. Imagine if you could fuse Deathly Zed Sword with the Sword of Hope to create a new, unique weapon. For instance, maybe the weapon will have the hilt of Deathly Zed Sword, but the blade of Sword of Hope, or maybe Deathly Zed Sword would use Sword of Hope's textures, but retain its weapon model. The AQ3D team could simply do that with craft shops to "merge" items together.

 

Sort of. There could still be a timer like how craft shops work in AQ3D since it would make sense for item fusion to take time. Items don't imbue instantly.

 

Of course. Cosmetics made the proposed idea of item fusion pointless other than for the sake of managing inventory space, but the idea could still be expanded into newer ideas. I think keeping cosmetics, but implementing item fusion to be more than what was proposed would be quite interesting, especially if we could create certain hybrid items with item fusion.

 

Interesting. Sort of like a craft shop, but without the ingredients listed and we have to play around with ingredients to check different combinations? That would be quite interesting to see in the game.

Not really. They could use craft shops for their framework and implement things to it to make it different from a craft shop.

 

Something along the lines of a merge shop or craft shop is plausible for item fusion. Technically the upgraded Nightlocke weapons use craft shops to upgrade the level of the weapon, even change its appearance in the bank storyline. The AQ3D team could use craft shops to act as "item fusion" for many other items.
