Guild Wars 2

Would it be a good idea to offer a simple option to customize the basic weapon looks while crafting other than choosing a Berserker Insignia for instance. What if when you have crafted an item, say a sword, and it gave you a screen similar to transmuting where you have three blades, three handles and three hilts to choose from, for looks only of course. You could do this with different weapons, maybe even armor too.

If you were making a Carrion staff there would be three Carrion items options for the head, the handle and the wrapping. Nothing would change the items stats, but you could be able to mix and match and have a number of possibilities.

It would be better than having to tell your customers, “I’m sorry sir, but I only know how to make it just this one way. No, I can’t make the wrap look different, I don’t know how. I’m sorry sir, but you can have it in any color you want as long as it is gray.”

Ah, the old days of looking for axe hafts and sword hilts. To be able to do that again.
