I noticed in Heart of the Mists that the Steady Weapons when you try to destroy them the game will ask to type their name to confirm.
I like the idea of being able to lock gear I use so they can’t be destroyed, salvaged or sold without typing the name. You might say to use invisible bags but they only just hide and don’t really protect.
I was thinking maybe we can have an NPC that can customise our gear to lock it. This lock would do nothing to enhance the gear, it simply adds the “type to destroy/sell/salvage” lock on it.
