Something that Symph and I discussed in chat. I had this idea that it would be nice to show what bosses have what on them. It could be an option check box when you attach an item in WB to a boss you can either show or hide what the boss is carrying.

Below is a pic of what it would look like. Also when you do a mouse over the item it would show the stats as is does when it is in your backpack or when its equipped.

Would be a nice addition to Bosses.

Yep indeed, and I like how you showed what it would look like (smiley)
Beats me having to link it in my place listing details (smiley)

I've considered this in the past, but I've never actually tried it. What of those items that are yet to be discovered? How about this:

#1. If there are more than X instances of the item in the wild, show it on this page.
#2. Otherwise, show a box with a question mark in it.

That way, mysterious stuff remains mysterious, until it is discovered by a handful of people (by then, it's common knowledge anyway).

Yay or nay?

(smiley) Now that you mention that version, I now wish I didn't show my weapon on my page. But at the same time, I do want players to know what they are working for. So it's iffy to me. Could be another check box. "Show on page?", "Don't Show", "Only show if item is discovered".

Ok so maybe it would look something like this then ( Pic below) -

When you are in world builder and you place an item on the boss or npc you have created, you can have the options below...

  • Option A - Do not show item
  • Option B - Show item with mouse over description
  • Option C - Show item only when discovered/dropped
  • **That way, then there is still the element of suprise on what the other items look like and they remain hidden until discovered (smiley)

    **Good idea Ck (smiley)
