Uniques are meant to be unique for a reason. They're specially developed weapons/armor/other that are meant to be stronger than standard items, with a neat sprite stacked on for visual effect and coolness. What I'm asking, isn't for more uniques items in game, or for the to be easily accepted by journal staff. There are hundreds upon hundreds of sprites that have been used over the half-decade this game has been running. It just seems that the majority of them are either not public due to [reasons], or have been lost to time. Should the community be asked to donate, I'm betting that there would be a flood of sprites that could be used.
What I would like to see is for more variety in the artificer weapon/armor categories. Visual quality of life for the server would spread coolness for all players. I've been playing this game on and off since the times in E1 when you needed to ask the admins to get magic, and I still see most of the weapons from back then still being used now. Even though the sprite quality on some isn't entirely up to date for the current server. One neat visual update for the crafter bois, would be a nice gift to the community. Funnily enough though, I'd say the majority of the weapon sprites currently useable by crafters are from early-mid E1 times.
As for what can be said for the armor comment. Seriousness aside.
Blue Tribe no understand why I wear loincloth and swing stick? Am of Brown Tribe, that why. laughs in poor people problems
Stacking onto this, I would also very much enjoy to see Shield, Glove/Bracer/Gauntlet, Shoe/Armored Boot, Cloak/Cape and Helmet items be placed into the Artificing Tree so players can make full use of the entire tree's abilities. Maybe even some cute visuals for rings and necklaces. I find it funny that Esshar has no smiths that make helmets, gloves, or different types of boots, and only has a single Shield Smith, but has potentially hundreds of Gun Smiths.
Just a humble man's suggestion. Really would like to see some of this stuff put into game, make the Crafter Mains have a bit more enjoyment out of the variety of items that could be crafted.
