PvP skins -> PvP Crafter

Now that PvP is getting custom skins, I suggest that we get a PvP crafter. This crafter would, for a small Balthazar Faction fee (1k to 5k) produce a customized weapon or armor of an unlocked skin. This provides a means for PvE characters to use PvP to gain equipment and custom skins. As this equipment will be customized, it will be non-tradable and thus only people that have earned the equipment in PvP would be able to pursue this option. Optionally, the equipment can also be labelled as PvP equipment.

Most likely this equipment would come with no inscription or runes, though I would prefer if it did. Existing PvP equipment is non-salvagable, so that trait could be copied when making this equipment.

This would, like skill tomes, allow PvE characters to reap the rewards of PvP.

5k? Yeah, for 1.5k armor. Try like atleast 20k for 15k and 100k for FoW

This would also solve the problem of Prophecies skins being uninscribable.

Good idea.

I think you should be able to make runes and stuff as well as you put it, but make it unsalvagable.

Of course, it costs probably 25k balthazar faction for a PvP armor set. That way you can't just earn it doing nothing. (5k per piece of course) Maybe even plus materials, but no gold cost.

Good idea, very good idea, but expect the "super leet" PvP elitists to tell you to "roll a PvP character".

I really don't think they should be available to PvE characters. Imagine the outcry if PvP characters get PvE skins, now look at it from the other side.

Sounds like a good idea. But a test weekend would be needed for this.

Well 5k Balthazar Faction is easier to obtain than 1.5k in gold.

You can't get them for PvE characters. You will unlock them, then when you go to PvP equipment, it will be there.

Yeah so? you're point about 5k Balthazar faction being too much for 1.5k gold armor?

I never said it was too much. Plus, I'm just making up numbers. They will hopefully be more. And Notice how I said atleast.

Please be serious. Consider that already characters have to win tournament points to unlock these armors. The faction costs should be token costs of purchasing a PvE version of something they already have for their PvP characters.

To repeat, characters that can use this trader have already paid the cost to earn these armors. They are merely paying a token cost to convert the PvP reward to a PvE reward.
