Early I read this thread "Create your own Legendary".... which is fun, but what I want is create the item in the game, by the black smith, because that is what black smiths do!
Of course everyone would probably just create the item with all the perfect stats, but anyway here is the idea.
The black smith has a create/build item tab. You have to start with a white item you find (not just weapons, any item, although there are no white rings or amulets). The item level determines the stat limits (max +10vit for ilvl 1 vs max +200 vit for 1lvl 63) and how many stats it can have (4 vs 6). The black smith has a long list of things he can do the item, each costs some ingredients/gems/gold. And it gets more and more expensive the higher the stat gets. You should be able to come back over time and add more, just put the created item in the slot, pick the enhancement you want, pay for it.
Some examples:
new white item, no stats on it
+1 vit ... 1 square ruby
next +1 vit ... 3 (1+2) square rubies
next +1 vit ... 6 (1+2+3) square rubies
...will get expensive if you want +200 vit or go from +170 vit to +200 vit, but that is the point
want more crit dmg?
+1% crit dmg... 1 of something
another +1% crit dmg... 3 of something
since some stats range from 1-200 and some from 1-15% or so you just make the ingredient rare/more expensive for these things, or you always add +5 vit and allow 15 upgrades for everything, or you ask for more gold, or higher quality gems... its all for sale in the AH, and therefor a nice sink.
Of course the item you create should not be for sale in the AH, more like bind on create.
Maybe it should also just be possible to start of an existing item and improve the stats, but you can only improve them, not pick new ones you want. This way the search for an item to start with would take longer, and would also set the limits of where you go.
Anyway, I know its not going to happen, that's why I posted it here. Lets see what you think.
