Feedback:User/Falconeye/Weaponsmith - Prefix/Suffix & Inscription

The idea here is to streamline the entire system to make it easier to profit off of "modification" loot; and to make it easier to otherwise hunt down whatever weapon type/skin you want (or need for your heroes) and then bring them to your friendly neigborhood Guild Hall Weaponsmith to purchase "expensive" mods to your EXACT specifications.

A weaponsmith is an NPC that crafts weapons in exchange for crafting materials and gold and/or customizes weapons. For instance, Wisseh in Dzagonur Bastion will craft a Winged Axe for 40 Iron Ingots, 6 Wood Planks and 5 Platinum. Most weaponsmith weapons can be upgraded using weapon upgrades. Additionally, most Elonian and Eye of the North weaponsmith weapons may be upgraded with inscriptions. All weapons crafted at a weaponsmith may be salvaged for upgrades or some of the materials used to make them.

There are numerous types of upgrade components:

Tab 1: Weapon Customization
All weaponsmiths charge 10 gold to either customize or recustomize a weapon/off-hand. When a weapon/focus is customized for a character, it recieves a specified unconditional bonus. The drawback is that no other character (even for the same account, or a new character with the same name) will be able to use it. This reduces its value to other players, since only the weapons upgrades have a substantial trade value.
