Gilneas - Item Suggestion

I think that's a really cool and interesting idea. I think it would add a lot of flavour to the zone.

+1 I don't really know the lore behind gilneas but if it is based on curses, then cursed style gear 100% makes sense.

Negative stats on gear has always been a weird quirk of vanilla that I really liked and would like to see more of. There's a few turtle added already, so I know they feel the same way, and thats dope.

The concept of cursed items really does fit Gilneas, and I like the idea of random negative stats.

[Shamma]

Yes, love the idea of a curse mechanic next to enchantments. Adding more green randomization options than the well know of the Eagle and of the Bear. All for it!

Yeah, and I don’t think it would be all that interesting to add more “of the bear” or “of the eagle” in the zone considering you can get that loot anywhere.

[Zhilo]

It could be cool to try to hunt down a version of the cursed weapon you want that gives you more of a useful stat in exchange for one of your dump stats, like a warrior trying for a -int axe.

It'll be probably difficult to implement but very flavorful for lore appreciators and a homerun for stat monkeys, and you can't get better custom content implementation than that.

Although, some specific tradeoff suffixes could be good. For instance, a cycle of "mental illness" themed ones that all boost elemental spellpower, but lower resistance to the same element.

• of Pyromania: Fire
• of Whispers: Nature (C'thun reference)
• of Wendigosis: Frost (Portmanteau of "Wendigo Psychosis")
• of Paranoia: Shadow
• of Megalomania: Arcane
• of Martydom: Holy (Martyr Complex.)

[Galendor]

Interesting idea that could work if Gilneas has anything related to curses or witchcraft.
Curse of Worgens isn't a thing here and we don't know what devs think about harvest witches so why should Gilneas be so unique to have such items lore wise?

This is an interesting design idea as well.

Awesome suggestion.

I'm giving this another +1 because it deserves it, just too good
