Well, this is the first time I've had an issue with a nice NX item that I feel is too restrictive on the weapons. I won this recently at an event and love how it looks, but unfortunately, I don't play a warrior class so can't use it. I think this item would look amazing with a claw, or a wand...after all, a fan looks more like a mage than a warrior's weapon Either way, I think making nx covers available for more weapons would be a nice quality of life change that wouldn't affect gameplay much. Although this isn't a common cover, feel free to post any item that you feel like like is too restrictive or should be expanded to cover your weapon Another one I think would be nice is Ice flower -> covering knuckles
Hmm forgot about the kyoshi warriors It just seems impossible to wear for most classes (only usable realistically by pally and 1H hero, even though daggers, wand/staff, claw also have similar animations). Picture of the class it came from though, which is why I see it as a mage item:
I really like this suggestion and would love to see it in game but if I'm not mistaken, it would mean manually adding animations for every type of weapon to the .wz files. Sure, we already have the sprites but I'm almost certain its much more complicated than that. For instance, a claw item weapon has idle, attack, jumping and getting hurt animations; all with x and y values to position the item properly. Anyway, I'm no expert and hopefully I'm wrong. Surely a dev can give us some feedback on whether its possible or not.
Mhm, one reason I made this post is that this item is imported from GMS, where I believe it can cover all weapons so the wz file with the various interactions may already be available. The weapon cover was originally meant to cover a fan weapon (new weapon in GMS) so I'm not sure if this was translated to "1H weapons only" when importing to Royals. I'm almost certain it was a universal weapon cover in GMS as I remember transferring it to various other characters that didn't use a 1H weapon Feel free to PM me on NoLight in game if you want to see the animations though!
Oh then that's good news! I didn't consider the possibility this item already had animations to be used as a 'any weapon' cover. It would be nice if we could change it. When I wrote my post, I was thinking of all event-NX weapons (idk how many different ones there are in-game) and not limiting myself to this specific weapon. I think its fair for us to be able to wield all event-nx rewards on our characters, regardless or class or gender. It doesn't feel too rewarding when you win an event and get an item you can't wield. But yeah, delivering the proposed changes should be possible, as you said, cause most new items (the ones found in newer versions of Maplestory) are able to cover all weapons so there's sprites of 'em available when importing to Royals. Good stuff.
Mhm agreed! I think nx weapons, especially event ones should be available to all classes or as many as possible. One of the reasons I posted was to see if anyone else had similar event-nx that don't cover their choice of weapon but may be relatively easy to import (I'm not a dev so could be completely wrong on how easy it is though). The only other one I've used in Royals is the Ice Flower, and I've always wondered why we can't have buccs punching out ice, similar to the claw's punching animation.
Totally agree with you, and this happens with many weapons. I'm a Corsair and the amount of NX weapons you can wear as guns is like 5% of the current weapons available. We definetely need more guns and shields.
Guns definitely seem to get the short end of the stick in terms of nx weapon covers... "Excluding guns and knuckles" seems to be common. Any cash shop or event nx that should be included (besides the toy gun, didn't know about that )?
