Fix inscription limitations!
Tender Wolf
Okay so I just got a Charr and Undead longbow, and they don't have inscriptions. I have a whole bunch of things in my storage with inscriptions. Well, I got a perfect salvage kit and salvaged a perfect Seize the Day inscription to put on one of the bows, only to find out that it will only go on staves. Now I can see the focus cores, wand wrappings, etc. but if it's an inscription it should go on ANY weapon.

wait you are saying that a 15^50 inscription only exists for staves or did i miss something? Read here for more info on the 15^50 inscription and get your facts right

Tender Wolf, would I be right in thinking you are a bit annoyed that prophesies and factions weapons don't take inscriptions, so you are wanting them to ?
If so, I agree with you. If not, what exactly are you complaining about ?

Personally, I think the best option would be to create a weaponsmith that can add an inscription to a weapon that doesn't have one, but have it erase any inherent mod that weapon may already have. So, if a weapon didn't have an inscription, but instead had an inherent +12% ^ 50 damage mod, having an inscription added to it would remove that 12% ^ 50 bonus...
The only remaining question is whether inscriptions are something ANet wants to limit to NF only...

The OP claims that they got a 15^50 inscription that couldn't go on a bow. That is false, as 15^50 inscriptions can go on any inscribable weapon. The only inscription with a modifier of 15 that would go on staves but not bows is a +15/-1 inscription (or else it's a +5e^50 inscription), which nobody in their right mind would want to use on a bow. The OP is confused and/or unable to read inscriptions.

I think these guys are right, it was bad reading on her part.

The only limitations inscriptions have are impossible combinations such as Flint's Artifact...
Other than that, there are already threads about the Inscription everywhere and upgrade traders for the remaining inscription issues.

A simple fix to inscription system: remove it altogether.

Inscription is fine as it is, other than the part where all the quotes kind of suck :/

I have no problem with reading, in fact if you must know, English was my best subject, and I'm a book worm. So if I have a problem with reading, that's news to me.
Fine, here's the proof:
I see no reason why this shouldn't be allowed to go on a bow. It's practically the same thing as a zealous bow string, and with Expertise, it would hardly make a difference.

Congratulations, you have a Energy +15/-1 inscription. It most certainly isn't a 15^50 inscription as stated in the OP before you edited it.

unfortunately it's too late for that and at this point it can only get worse...
and to OP: certain mods just aren't meant for all types of weapons and there are balance reasons for that. And no need to change that.
