<div></div>... or a jeweler's eyeglass for me!

 <div></div>If not a hat, then something similar to what EQ1 had, a trinket that boosted stats and the skill in general.For fletchers they could craft something like:<b><a href="http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=2430&menustr=080060000000" target="_blank">Grandmaster Fletcher's Knife</a></b>LORE ITEM NO TRADESlot: PRIMARY,SECONDARY,RANGE,AMMOSkill Mod: Fletching +5%Effect: Grandmaster's Satchel (Cast Time: 10.0)DEX: +10   CHA: +50   WIS: +10   INT: +10   WT: 0.1   Size: SMALLClass: ALLRace: ALLSomething similar would be nice, a recipe obtained with your artisan book at 50 that was lore and no trade.  Smiths could get a hammer, tailors a sewing kit, woodworkers a chisel, sages a quill, provisioners an ez-bake oven.<div></div>

took the thought right out of my noggin tom.... there was also the eyeglass for jewlers... which many an enchanter used as a normal adventuring item as well....<div></div>

<div>in EQ 1 they had the grandmaster items that summoned no trade bags.  those were awesome !  If they did something like that for crafters my bruiser would just have to go around in his puffy white chef's hat and beat people with his pristine imbued cobalt rolling pin.    a monocole for jewelers would be amazing, i wonder how tough it would be since the graphic already exists for ratonga and gnomes i think.   it might not be as tough as the armor and weapons since they dont move. they just sit on the toons face.      I would die a happy man if they did something like this for all the races.  could you imagine all the sunglass wearing dark elf vampire half demon things that would be running around the RP servers hehe.   </div><div> </div><div>Give the sunglasses, eyepatches, jewelery and scar options to all races.  PLEASE !  if they did that i would have to switch to the yearly subscription package.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Bloodeyes</div>
