Harvesting pick... a 2 handed item...

[marct]

I noticed with the new event picks that picks are 2 handed, yes I know I can't believe I overlooked that. So anyways... Here is what I was thinking. Wouldn't it be neat if picks were one handed, and in the other hand you could hane an item like gloves that helped you pick up the material faster or CP better or hide your digging from the Kami's... or somehting else... I don't know be creative.

These gloves could be non-craftable. They could be Uber items from events or super mission type content. Obviously as I stated before, it would not be good for everyone to be able to have one, or for it to be "farmable to get them" but I thought I would share my interesting concept. Maybe even picks could be all different types and you procure your pick through a similar process.

As a CPer maybe you could wear 2 gloves even.

Noin.

In another thread, I suggested an idea where if you got to certain levels in multiple branches, you unlocked new skills that were combinations of the two. I used the example of reaching L200 in both 2H melee fighting and 2H melee crafting, maybe you start learning new skills that let you make really unique or interesting 2H weapons.

After I made this suggestion, I started thinking about the idea of multi-tasking and I think it fits in nicely with your suggestion. I've been thinking it'd be kinda cool if you could perform two simultaneous actions if you reach a certain level in two skills. This could tie in with being able to equip something special in your off-hand when harvesting, like the special gloves that allow you to do something in addition to your basic harvesting action. This could extend to being able to cast a spell on a different target for basic defense or heal someone without stopping your extract if you meet the level requirements to learn multi-tasking in those two things.

Quite interesting idea you have there noin, however in having a glow wont be good.. as from your suggestion it will be an excuse to take out 125 Focus bonus from focus gloves (assuming that that single glove will hold 125 focus bonus or equivalent of QL).

I donno... Well what I would like if the pick are supposed to be 1 handed will be a special CP tool that you can equip so that it will automatically apply CP actions separately with no interruptions to the digging. Or would be an special bag where it will store all harvested items and you can freely move them to your bag at will or go to a packer and put it in, not to mention save the trouble of tping to apartment or guild hall every now and then. These could make things easier

200 dagger and 200 1h = Dual wield 1h
Things like that would be nice.



Another idea in the same line of thinking:
What if you learned special attacks for certain weapons, like a powerful smash for the mace, then if you used it with a different weapon it had a slightly different and very intersting effect?
