There are a reasonably wide selection of weapons for each character build in the game; swords, axes, wands, staves etc..

These weapons come in a variety of guises too; flamberges, long swords, murrsat hammers, shadow bows etc...

You can modify these weapons too with a variety of upgrades; hafts, hilts, wrappings, strings etc...

You can even, at you own peril, customise your weapon to deal an extra 20% damage...(maybe you can dye them too?)

Yawn....

All very good, but I want MORE MORE MORE!!!

The customisation of weapons is a little on the light side, one shadow bow looks the same as another, a tall shield is a tall shield and fiery dragon swords are as common as the cold.

The ability to further customise your weapon would add a great deal to make your character feel unique and not another clone..

Now comes the problem of how to customise it, damage mods are already taken care of so I came to the conclusion that this leaves visual customisation.

Maybe others could leave their thoughts here but I'll throw some ideas in.

Guild emblems: Have your guild emblem displayed on your staffhead or down the length of your huge sword!

Name that weapon: Currently weapons are named by the type and the modification, what if you could call your prized sword "escalibur", and be labelled lame of course but what the hey.

Appearance change: Just completley change the look of an item, maybe through questing for certain materials/items. Not sure on this one but I would love to change the look of the staves as they are soo boring.

Oops at work.. will follow this up later if there is any interest.

Yes!
I like this idea.

Able to name my weapons would be very nice.
Appearance change is very nice as well.
