I’ve been playing a lot of Wizard101 lately, working on getting my characters to level 20 so that I can explore Grizzleheim. The game is so close to being perfect that when you get snags, you notice them all the more. Here are a few things that would make the experience all the better.
Appearance Slots: With so many outfit choices available, it would be wonderful to wear one outfit for its stats, and another for its looks. It would clearly be a huge UI hit to have to worry about three more outfit slots, but maybe it could be done another way? What if you could make and dress a special mannequin, and whatever IT wore, you would appear to wear? Or you could talk to a certain NPC who, for Crowns perhaps, would cast a spell that let you keep the appearance of whatever you wore at that moment, until you requested they cancel that spell?
Crafting by commission: Currently, the only way to craft something for someone else is to make the object, sell it on the Bazaar, and have them buy it – for insane amounts of gold. What if, while you were crafting, the crafting station would ask if this item should be delivered to a wizard standing nearby? There needs to be a way to make something for another character without them having to spend a pile of treasure at the Bazaar.
Purchase by Quantity: Crafting requires vast amounts of material. Can we at least get a slider or something so when I’m purchasing 33 amethysts or something, I can just do it all at once?
Take a look at variable pricing on reagents in the Bazaar: The Bazaar has a subtle pricing feature; it pays less for items of which it has many, and sells items items for more when you already have several. If you’re buying a few dozen acorns from the Bazaar for crafting, watch the price creep up as you buy more. Variable pricing is fairly cool in that I can’t flood the Bazaar with just hats that are too expensive for someone to buy; I have to branch out into other items of gear.
Allow trading reagents through the shared bank: Why can’t we share reagents? I have a bunch of resources on my alt that I can’t give back to my crafter main without selling them at the Bazaar first.
I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’d like to see these features?
