Shop Idea

Probably no one will like this, but I thought I'd drop it here to see what you all think...

Why not open a shop section, remove the prices from the rules and make an "Official Item Shop", that why the items can be bought before the apps are made, as well as Ryo there. Then Info cards will just me a purchase confirmation, plus the created app... if this make no sense after I said Official shop, lemme break it down into a step-by-step

- User buys item from shop
- Staff approve the purchase, and deduct ryo accordingly.
- User Makes app
- User links their shop purchase.
- Staff grades and approves item
- User adds it to Info card

Or... Ykno some people might make the app first, then actually make the purchase... But it's just a thought. Better than having to keep checking prices for abilities and stuff...

I don't think this is EXACTLY what should happen but I do agree that the current system IS a bit flawed, but also not for the reason you stated.

My reason is that it is based on number of abilities as to the rank... Why? The ability for, say, an item to repair itself should not cost the same as a speed boost or boost in CS.

Also, there is like... An ability rank that sees no use on the template, so what if something like this was done:

Abilities are assessed based on rank.

The rank of these abilities determine a set number of "points" in a weapon.
D-Rank: 2 points
C-Rank: 3 points
B-Rank: 4 points
A-Rank: 5 points
S-Rank : 6 points

All weapons will always have at least ONE ability, which is their Combat Ability. This covers sharpness, strength, durability, and things like that.  This rank can be implemented in the jutsu strengths and weaknesses system as well in LOGICAL scenarios.

Then you have optional abilities which can range from auto-repair to chakra absorption.

Finally, you have your WEAPON RANK. This is derived from your number of points and will determine the skill needed to wield it.

D-Rank: 2 points.  This is shit like rocks... No one should app for these really.
C-Rank: 3-6 points. Kunai, Shuriken... Some have very basic abilities
B-Rank: 7-10 points. These are katana or swords generally with one advanced ability or some basic ones.
A-Rank: 11-14 Points. These can general have an advanced ability or two and maybe a weak one or... Something.
S-Rank: 15-18 Points. These can have quite a few abilities if they are low level or 3-5 medium-high ranking abilities

Pricing would be simple... 500 ryo per point.

Now, obviously, basic, canon kunai and shit would have their own price independant of this system

There's things to be done, I like your idea though. I just have the issue that I know for a fact, people will make items, and not add them to info cards as updates

I like the point idae, it reminds me of loadouts. Kaseki, what you said didnt make much sense to me tbh. But each village does need a weapon shop based on what its current level is due to village system

Okay, so you know how we price things on apps? Well that would be replaced by a "Purchase" link

Here, let me use my own site as an example.

- Member buys item
- Member makes item
- User links to purchse

Then each of these shops will be held in a "Shop" sub forum, movingthe weapon shop out of rules, and into generic shops (maybe?)

bump?

Well we have village shops now to help enforced the Village System.

But we are still yet to incorporate Roku's weapon system
