Wise Woman and mod'ing gear

[almordre]

When it comes to building gear, I tend to get a specific item, and then try several different ter'angreal combinations looking for the best fit, rather than picking out a ter'angreal and trying to match a piece of gear to it. With the ter' menu being primary and filtering the item menu, the process feels kinda backwards to me.

It can be a little hard to browse, too - you know you've got a spare knife in inventory that you want to upgrade, but if you don't remember whether it had a prefix or suffix attached, you can't get to it in the Wise Woman menus to find out - you have to go check inventory first, then go back to Wise Woman, pick the right type of ter' (pre or suf), THEN choose the item, THEN try out other ter'.

I'm wondering if it might be more 'natural' to choose the piece of gear first, then be shown what ter' are available to be combined with the item?

[Tim]

Possibly. I think it's just a matter of personal preference. Perhaps I could just make it so you could select either one first.

Also, it would be nice if we could see a gold value of the item, with the rest of the stats.

I cant remember if it has been suggested or even implemented in the past, but i would also like to see the separating of terangreal from items. and at a high price too add balance, and the catch, only on items found in battles?

The topic came up a while back, Cid, and Tim had some specific reasons for not making that an option. Sorry, can't recall them, but there were reasons...

Part of it was that it would make finding the perfect ter'angreal too easy. If I'm gonna do that, why not just sell ter'angreal themselves for large sums of coin? Plus if you can take a ter'angreal off an item, there's no hesitance to using it an item. Once you use a ter'angreal it should be final, else it's just like equipping multiple ter'angreal.

Other part was other questions that need answered: What ter'angreal type does it get put on (neckless, ring, etc)? Do you have a choice? What's a fair price? How do I track which items were found as it and which had been modified?

To go back to the Wise Woman discussion:

I think it would be helpful to be able to choose equipment first, then ter'angreal. I think you should be able to choose either first.
