Sudgestion - Fraud!

[Afayir]

I would like to see crafters be able to make an item and try and use a 'Deceive' skill to put someone elses Mark/Name on the item, so they can fraud it off to someone saying it was made by a famous crafter? If Yes, can the person that bought the fraudly-tagged item use a 'Detect' skill to try and authenticate if the sword actually was crafted by the person who's fake mark was put on it?

No thanks. Would just be annoying and probably rarely used.

I don't understand what you are saying too well but I'm guessing it would be to complicated

What's the point?

Yes, I am curious about this for the antique dealership I plan to run.

What's the point?

My thought.

[Deja vu]

What's the point?

I agree it seems pretty pointless to me

Another one of those things that, if it's in the game, needs a perfect counter or else it is really overpowered, annoying, etc., but by having that perfect counter, becomes completely useless. I say no.

I could be cool if a higher 'Fraud' skill allowed the user to fake the item stats and name aswell.

Why would anybody want to pay more for a "famous" dealer? I would just buy it as cheap as possible..

I could care less who made the item. The question is, what's the quality and function of the item :) Since you're gonna lose it soon anyway it doesn't matter too much which name is on it.

If you can brand you'r items I will make a crafter and name him Epic-stuff! :ohno:

Indeedily.

Hey... for those of you that didnt play UO this would seem pointless.

Those that did knew the raw ingame cash potential of being able to sell phoney items as the real thing. Pose as a famous blacksmith. Sit at a forge. Sell your junk.

You might think its boring, but people did it for hours on end in early UO. They usually did it until they were revealed. Got to be pretty funny seeing 2 blacksmiths with the same name fighting over who was the real deal!

And I would like to see you tied to a stake and immolated.
