Personally I'd like to see some unique, novelty/heirloom styled items. Such as the store selling a stash of old weapons found in the far corners of their old storage vaults. Like a rusted relic sword, or a corroded Iron battle axe, or an anciant blood-stained longsword. Let them have random and unique verbs as the novelty, so that no two items have exactly the same verbs. Hell if your feeling generous give them good stats too. Could do this with shields or armor too. Might be interesting.

The only issue with stuff like that, is store stuff has to fit a certain template. Making most of that kinda of stuff cosmetic(not a bad thing really though). I'd prefer to see things like surcoats, or cloaks/capes for fitting to the scholarly knight, rather then more weapons. Just my opinion..

The items themselves don't need to possess awe-inspiring stats. I'd just like to see some unique and original stuff for sale there. Something that would justify 28 plats for a bastard sword.

I think if you could pen up about 20 or so verbs for my "relic" weapon idea, then have 5 radomonly assigend upon purchase, and maybe give them some unique cambrinth like quallities. Might make for some unique and interesting items. While were at it how bout offering some heraldic tabbards and let a merchant come in to design unique coats of arms for each person with a ticket.

I dunno, more ideas as they come.

I like aspects of this idea. Unique in this sense wouldn't really make it a shop item though, but other parts are definitely workable.

You know how Throne City has those thugs that have random items? Word from column A + word from column B type item.

It would be incredibly cool if a shop worked that way.

I would love to see some customizable tabards, or even just a bunch of pre-designed tabards. I am getting a little tired of mine (black spider with green lightning bolts)and wouldn't mind making a change if I could get something to match my basic black with gold/silver theme.

I also like the concept of being able to order things that are semi-custom by picking column A, column B kind of thing. It shouldn't be too difficult since its like a lot of shops have - menu driven customization for color/design?

This one slipped from my mind so yes, it's doable. I'll see if I can't find someone to help me with this.
