    I would like to see the ability to craft combat clockwork pets. There are several clockwork enemies currently in the system that could be turned into a craftable combat pet. These enemies already have an AI and skills that could be reused as a combat pet.

    Clockwork Dragon
    Shock Monkey
    Automaton Assassin
    Clockwork Attack Dog
    Clockwork Attack Cat
    Clockwork Attack Raven

    This should be crafting focused. Material types should be incorporated in the process to add different resists or buffs making each have a variety of options depending on its intended use. Masterworks (maybe a new masterwork skill) and enchantments (again maybe a new enchantment skill) to further enhance. This could be based off the existing crafting trees and skills or a whole new crafting tree altogether (ie tinkering). The main idea would be that the build and the skill of the crafter gives the pet most of its strength. If absolutely needed, maybe something similar to the focus tree enhancement of summoned pets so a limited set of skills to provide some boost after construction.

    Summoning could be similar to taming but maybe a "clockwork pet control ring" that the pet is bound to instead of a necklace. These rings could then be sold on vendors. Healing could be a clockwork pet repair deck skill similar to potion deck abilities that uses repair scrolls from inventory instead of potions. Recipes could be drops from Kobold enemies.

    So now it's just up to @Elgarion to make it happen :)

    Cool idea.

    Makes me wonder about an entire future character class built around clockwork tech / time related skills.

    I thought this would come one day, an entire tree focused around Kobold tech that would allow you to use their guns and pets and whatnot, would be really cool!

    I had hoped this would be Tinkering, eventually. Use alchemy potions and such to craft traps, pets, crowd control measures, etc.
