The Kitin Lair – A Final Plea before it’s too late..

Then WHO did craft it ?
Okay, I guess you´re pointing at Karavan/Kami Items like in EPone.
Those would surely be cool, but as it is the Atys Rangers who´re promissing the rewards I don´t think we´ll see anything like them down there.

As Iphdrunk said, it´s always a problem with "unique" Items becomming "not so unique anymore" once their "code is cracked" so to say.
But the same applies to things made out of special materiels, as seen in form of the OP Mats-Items. Once the recipe is known, there´s no holding back.

Unless someone at a Company deciedes to make it a "one time only drop and never again shall said Item be dropped anywhere", nothing will be unique in an MMO on the long run.
The only thing to be proud of is the fact that you maybe were the first to get it.
And just for a second, consider you are the one that has got this "one of a kind Item"... would you be happy with it? As sure as hell there´ll be whines and flames in forums and at your door just because it is YOU who owns said Item and not "me"(someone else).
It´ll be a cold day in hell when humans learn not to be jealous of the achivements of others, y´know.

I think the way Materials are used and introduced as of now is a good middleground between these extremes. For a time you can be proud of your achivement and display your Item to the envy of all, but in due time it´ll be a pretty normal sight on the streets and something new must come along. So its on us. Do we take the bait again?

I know a few homins that will try and be the first in line, just to get whatever there´ll be down there. Ok, it´s their game. Just let them feel proud of their achivements. 15 minutes of fame
I´m gonna wait a bit to see what it is and then decide if I realy "need it to play and have fun in this game".

Ah, and I´m for new mats to combine with new crafting plans, for maybe a new type of wapon, or clothing.

Some great points there, its something new and something to keep the community extending in my opinion.
