I wish DBG would seriously consider implementing a method to turn old raid weapons into weapon ornamentations. Make it a plat sink or behind progression tasks if necessary. This would be similar to what has been done for the Legendary Enchanter Illusions, allowing you to keep the original weapon but now have a no-trade ornamentation as well. The weapons for which it works can be slowly added over time; not all have to be ready at once, not putting a strain on human resources.
It is being done manually. [Compiling List] RE: Old Weapons into Ornaments | EverQuest Forums (daybreakgames.com) Weapon Ornament Request, Round Two | EverQuest Forums (daybreakgames.com)
Thanks for those links, I missed them while searching the forums. Here's hoping to get https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=103877 soon!
The last couple from this last round are being added to the Anniversary Merchant. Once they're all live we can probably start a new request thread and start putting together a new list people would like to see added. It's a slow process, they're not high priority but at least it's a way to get the most popular picks added over time.
That ornament already exists, in fact you linked the ornament. The list that was linked is people voting on weapons they wanted as ornaments that don't already exist
I think that was just a reference to him hoping to get that ornament soon from the Anniversary Raid since it's about to start back up.
