    With the pattern system becoming more flexible, I found myself wanting a pattern of a crafted item (the dragon headdress) that I could then apply to my equipment. Thinking this through I thought about a new way to pattern.

    The concept is based around a new recipe for all skills that need it called something like Recipe: Item Pattern.

    The recipe ingredients would be a piece of equipment (any equipment including crafted items) and a blank piece of paper. Crafting would destroy the ingredients and create a pattern of the item.

    We could then eliminate salvaging patterns and keep salvaging to scraps and components, solving the problem of a million crap patterns salvaged.

    Hm. While I do really hate the pattern spam, especially on things like elven bows where I'm going after components, I think I'd still like there to be some chance involved.

    But, for crafted items like a dragon headdress, I think it makes sense to be able to craft a pattern.

    I always thought they should make the tag value of patterns 1 gold and have them in addition to the other things rather than instead of.

    That would be ideal, of course. For all things: scrap, patterns, components. Elgarion said he was going to look into that when (if) other crafting changes happen.

    Seems all the barbarian clan headdresses don't have patterns for some reason, yet the other pieces do. I'll put on my to-do list.

    Some salvage improvements are coming with R87 and R88 that should give more purpose to overstock.

    the headdresses don't have patterns because they're recipe drops. all the other barbarian pieces are direct loot salvaged for patterns
