Hopefully the right place for this if not feel free to move it.
For a while I have had a weapon idea brewing in my head that I only recently made a picture of. though my art skills are mostly limited to pixel art here it is.
And just for fun I decided to come up with stats for it to possibly be used in sod trying to replicate how I would see the real thing being used if it existed 60% or so. I was aiming for tier 4-8 but I was doing this mostly from memory and looking up individual effects for procs so balance wise it is probably still way off on some parts. If this was included in the game I would envision it ending up on a raid mob a tier or 2 higher than it's stats as sort of a backfill item. Even if it isn't used maybe parts of it will provide some ideas.
The name I came up with for this weapon is The Traveler's Armory. The weapon has multiple configurations that I thought would best be handled with a tailoring kit as they are already used for vah banners and this isn't much more complicated and I wanted a trade skill container that the player could use while moving about.
Unrelated Note: I am not coming back yet just thought I would share this. Also here is an older draft of this weapon I did before I thought of making it a spear like weapon. if desired I may be able to come up with some stats for this one as well. The old version was originally envisioned as a anti-werewolf weapon used by a character that had dual identities as an animal catcher and traveling entertainer.

This weapon can change configurations when placed in a tailoring kit.
it is composed of 4 pieces which can be combined different ways
2 Shields(Complete Configuration these form the spear head)
1 Metal Shaft
1 Hammer/Axe Hybrid(Complete Configuration this slides freely along the Shaft acting
as a handle and allowing the weapon to be rebalanced depending on position, also can be
used as a secondary attack depending on configuation)
______________________________________________________________________________
Both Shields have these stats
Primary Secondary Wrist
Hand to Hand(also counts a shield)(Placing this in a tailoring kit alone would yield a piercing version)
Note:this would be 1H Slashing instead of Hand to Hand but I didn't want to prevent some classes
from getting access and Hand to hand is otherwise missing from this weapon.
AC 20ish
1 damage reduction
Ratio low delay .7 ish
Disarm + 2
Size Small
Weight 3.0
Melee Proc 5-10% chance(Skill:Bash)
Clicky ("Load Arrow") 1 sec delay
Load Arrow consumes 1 arrow held in hand and changes this item in slot with a
1 charge instant clicky ("Use Arrow") version which fires the previosly loaded arrow
and changes this item in slot to the "Load Arrow"
version.
Agi 15 Dex 15 Sta 10 Wis 5 Int 5 Mana 60 HP 80
Lore: Who would suspect the weary traveler had a crossbow in his staff?
Note: Arrow clickies delays could be altered for balance and is mostly to provide
a versatile back up ranged weapon that acts more like a traditional crossbow and doesnt
eat up the traditional slots.it can be preloaded to provide a little extra dps in a fight.
Durring fighting loading it should take enough time to significantly effect melee dps and
it should be so so compared to a dedicated bow if you spam load it ignoring melee dps.
