Craftable accessories (necklaces) decors representing roles

Hello,

not sure if it's okay to suggest decors (yet) but I'll try to explain my idea.

(Edited now that the game introduced recipes for craftable items)

My idea is to have a really simple necklace/collar with a single pendant/charm to symbolize our wolves roles. It could be a leaf for the herbalist, a fang for hunters and maybe a marble for scouters? Or maybe some sort of wood-carved symbols (the same symbols we have as role icon?) I'm not that good at coming up with good and artistic ideas, but I'm sure other players could propose other things.

What I think it's important is that the decors would be as simple and "light" as possible, so even players (like me) that don't like to dress up their wolves too much could still use them without covering their wolves body too much. Eventually, if the idea of role-related decors become popular, these necklaces could be part of a bigger set of role-themed decors that include arm bands or "clothes"

Just remember that what I'm proposing is not to have decors locked to a single role. All wolves will still be able to wear any decor, even if it doesn't represent their role. It's just the meaning and the look of these decors that will be related to one of the roles, so you'll be able to put a Herbalist Necklace on your scout or lead wolf if you feel like it.

How would a player get them?

These decors would be craftable after learning a recipe and the recipe could be relatively easy to get. It could be randomly obtained when your wolves-with-role level up or perform their activities. Or even found in explore, if that would be easier to code. My idea is to have them craftable with relatively common items (already existing or newly introduced one, depending on how much work devs want to put into this)

Maybe to balance the easy crafting requirement, they could have just 1 use, so you have to craft them again and spend more items on the long run. The reason behind this is that, ideally, players would craft different copies of the decor to put them on most of their "working" wolves, so it shouldn't be a too difficult item to make.

What would be need to create this idea?

My idea would require coding work (similar to what is already in use for other crafting recipes) more or less complicated based on how the recipe would be obtained. And of course, the heaviest work would be the artistic one, since it would require to create different versions of the same decor (one for each role).

As suggested by other players, it would be nice to also have different color variation of the same decor, especially for the hunter necklace that, in different colors, could be used to distinguish the members of different hunting party.

Hope both devs and fellow players would like my idea!

This sounds super fun and cute. Maybe simple necklaces, or arm bands or a simple set of both? I don't do a lot of decor on these sites but I like this idea a lot.

I would love this, especially because it could make for some really cute teams, especially if there were multiple colors for them! (I'm quite tempted to self indulge myself in drawing necklaces on my wolves just because the idea is absolutely amazing)

The different colors idea is really good!

If WD gets gems like LD (or something similar), they could be used into the eventual craft reciepe for the necklaces so we could have different color variants of the same decor.

And as you said, be able to divide your hunters into teams with the necklaces would be amazing!

Maybe it's just me but I think role-specific necklaces sound like custom decor to me. I probably wouldn't mind them (depending on their design) but I would like more generic (craftable) decor instead.

Well, of course these are not a priority.

I'm sure there are already some generic decors on the way and these could be added in the future, when there is already a good number of other decors available.

But since roles play a big part in the game (we all have wolves with roles) and since there are a lot of players that play with these roles in their RP or even just in their lore, it would be great to have some role-related decors available to everyone and not to just those that can pay GC for a custom one.

I would just love more decor that applies directly to the wolves themselves. I saw the Wardrobe wolf decked out in jewelry type stuff and was super disappointed when the only thing I could find was a single feather

@Sianna Snow oooooo awesome!!!

Ooooooh, I’d love this as well! I’d love some Herbalist decor
