I would love to see Mysticism and Imbuing come to this shard, Two very enjoyable skills.

But i'm just throwing stones.

Cheers.

Mysticism isn't too difficult to implement. We have the required coding systems and research to implement the spells properly. We are still deciding on the best strategy to release UOSA content and which chunks can be released before others.

Imbuing is more challenging to bring to the shard, based on other aspects the shard has to offer compared to an OSI production shard. Loot intensity is higher for one, which will have a larger impact on unraveling loot for imbuing residue/essence/relic fragment. The property weights and limitations may need to be increased to match our shard's customized settings.

There shard also has a system called the 'masterpiece' system which was implemented long before imbuing was available. The masterpiece system is essentially a primitive form of imbuing with different rules but a similar concept of being able to choose your own properties.

Imbuing is a case of 'how and when' we would like to implement it. For the reasons stated above, we are being careful in determining what other aspects imbuing will affect on custom content and changes.

It's not on the agenda for the immediate future as there are other things that need to be coded which take precedence. Most UOSA content is on the back burner until we finish the other stuff.

if you are not going to implement imbuing then perhaps a revamp of the masterpiece system is needed. it is hard to get the top end stuff and 150 points is not enough to make a decent weapon. if it could be expanded to include armour and/or jewlery or even talismans then you would have a system that is similar to imbuing but also quite uniqe in that you need to hunt for the resourses that you need. perhaps imbuing could be used to make masterpiece items or reduce the slots that resouses take up on an item there are lots of ways to make it work on this shard and would make it uniqe as well anyway just my 2 cents woth

Most likely the current masterpiece system will be done in stages to eventually become imbuing. That being said it will likely be expanded on.
