Greetings,
Don't usually post but the maple logs slapped me in the face! Doesn't remind me of a log so much. It is on the right track.. Why not revamp all icons that are derived from a base-shape so they don't appear as re-colored versions of each other? That is where the true problem lies with scamming item for another item in the way bstaff/yew logs were.
This change could be applied across all items to increase the "look" of them as well. Try to keep it Old School obviously, but re-doing the icons to freshen them up would be cool. Especially the charged jewelry, why can't it glow like magic logs (I recall reading about enchanted rings changing)? Crossbows and such would be a good place to start, knives... arrows... etc.
The scamming will spill over into other items that follow the same scheme of re-coloring the same base design unless it is done to all items. Large amounts of the other items I mentioned can be just as expensive as yews/bstaffs ppl scam.
Thanks for reading,
the 3bp exhibits chaos.
