Another request for some off-the-shelf greater armor and weapon mood zested items.. particularly UAC gear.. and also steampunk zested stuff. Maybe at duskruin? Or something stand alone? I'd love a cart with them.
I think the idea was more in terms of what has been done with spell preps, signature verbs, etc. Stuff that is pre-QC'd and can be sold off the shelf or auctioned/raffled off via normal methods. It's a really cool ability and I realize that the open-ended nature of it caused some issues when they were first unveiled, but I think pre-built items are a good way to get them out to people again. Either that, or a delayed service where someone works with the item creator to build the moods. I know delayed services are frowned upon in a lot of instances, but I think the method works great with this script.

Personally, I'd love to see some "empty" off-the-shelf and then maybe a raffle or set number of spins for something more customized. It's a great script, custom or no, and I've been trying to get my hands on some UAC boots with it for about a year now. Some of the items that went out at various events, like EG a year or two back, with custom settings of this script were sweet, too.
I'd like to see more of a "socket" type thing on the Steampunk stuff. Find a gizmo (from a hopefully large, and expandable) set of gizmos, you can add it to your (probably armor, maybe shield, not so much weapon) and have it do <something new, or different, or in a new way, or for more times, or whatever>.
Kind of like the gem-eating stuff, only with gears and sprockets.
Give gnomes a bonus to add it in the correct way (more charges, less degradation before it breaks, whatever). We've already got springs from some traps to let us wind things up more; go ahead and add other trap components for other effects.
You can load it up with silver and iron wands (for the electrical charge it needs to run), wind it tighter with springs, find "a notched copper gear" on a creature that <does something>, and so on.
.
Retroactively update the Mecha-Godzilla armor Mikos did for this past Auction to have top-tier of everything possible (when it has components plugged in), of course. :)

Honestly, I think even "gear-head fluff" would be neat. Having the armature on your full plate buzz and whir when you swing (maybe popping one of those trap springs out into the environment [no ill effects, it just can't happen again until you load up more springs]) or blast steam (if you have an aqua wand loaded) or firey sparks (gold wand) or electrical zaps (silver/iron wand)...
Mid-range tiers start to offer actual benefits? Sure, I'm down.
Springs in your half- or full-plate may help with 'stand' actions, or give a bonus to the "pop to your feet" CMan, whatever it's called.
Blasts of steam partially blind (-10AS) an opponent? Electrical zap give them +1s RT for two actions?
Doesn't have to be earth-shaking, although having multiple effects chain off each other (at the really upper tiers) would be good stuff.
