How about a smelting service? Take an item and merchant melts it down to the base metal slab.

Character formerly known as Drauz

Both history (the Papacy, Upper & Lower Nile) and fiction (Arnor & Gondor) are, if not exactly rife, certainly laden instances of combined crowns. (And I'm not talking marriage of the ruling houses, I'm talking the physical crowns.)

Perhaps changing the setup of crowns and tiaras such that one can always support the other (I see a crown as larger, tiara as smaller), so instead of "a gold crown" and "a diamond tiara" when you "put my tiara on my crown" you get "a gold crown peaked with diamonds" or some such. Kind of like an amulet holder, or multi-ring wearer.
Two items, one spot, combined abilities [yes, specifically looking at you, Enhancive System]....

Tried to do a double check to see if this had been requested yet.

I may be in a minority but I would love to see some Merchant services related around lockpicking (I have an addiction that needs fed).

Perhaps a service to restore a lockpick to its original condition removing the break count. Mayhaps raffle off some materials we can use with Lock Mastery to make some more unique picks, keyrings, keys etc. Even possibly an option to raise the modifier of a pick would be especially nice as a major service.

>>is there a reason there aren't Conversion Chambers/there are still gloves/boots released that don't work for UAC?)

I believe it was on Finros' list of things he'd like to do. I'll just stop in to say there are a lot of old boots / gloves that have way too much capacity for current containers, so they would not convert well. There are also a number of enhancive boots that we might not necessarily want to convert over, along with numerous scripted boots/gloves (think Gloves and Boots of Tonis) that would need to be evaluated on a per item basis.

Yeah, I assume a merchant service to convert existing items would be easier from both a mechanical and policy point of view, and would be a good place to start with things. Plus, the pricing can be adjusted between "Please let my nicely-altered, single item VSA leather gloves be UAC capable" vs "Please make my eahnor gauntlets with the Bazz wand-eating script UAC capable"[1] vs "Hey I have these Tonis gloves and boots..."

I could see the same merchant also changing dresses and other clothing that now falls into the AsG 2 rules to cloth armor.

I had a longer post, but I made a thread about it in the UAC forum to go farther in-depth on it instead: http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Hunting%20and%20Combat/Unarmed%20Combat/thread/1794706
