Given that there is a capability to have a variety of forms of a crafted item I wonder if that might be applied to new higher level minstrel instrument.
For instance, the instrument's damage type (for the skill I forget) could be selected at time of crafting. Beliriand, Ancient Dwarf, Westernesse, maybe even Light or Fire or Frost?
Another thing that might be done is to have a selection of offense and/or defense buffs (melee, tactical, etc.) or even outgoing and/or incoming healing rating.
Another thing might be to be able to select whether the instrument is a damage dealer, like the drum, or power use reduction and/or threat reduction.
So an minstrel might be walking around with a damage dealing, melee defense, fiery flute. Switching to a power cost reducing, outgoing healing rating, Light damage flute.
Just a thought.
