Title: Bond Change

People are anxious to have their Shal 6 prism spell changed so that we can Xeo Attacks going again and have heartstones back in the game. Here, then, is my proposal for new Bond.

New Bond is a Super Mend that fully repairs an item and even adds 1 permanent max durability. It still costs the same reagents as before.

I know that some will dismiss this as silly or bad or too expensive, but I cannot stress enough how amazingly powerful this ability is for those veterans handling rare and powerful items - interestingly enough, the exact same demographic Soft White Light Bond was useful for.

Currently, 100% mends do not exist. That means that all items eventually break. Uber items will always one day be relegated to the vault when their durability drops low enough. Now, though, with this new Bond, veterans will require a steady stream of Heartstones to keep their gear whole. As a player who has collected and used powerful items in the past, I can tell you, this is a Big Freaking Deal. I would gladly pay 3 heartstones + 150 polished + 150 diamonds and build three shal mules for this ability. So this is anything but weak or useless.

Soft White Light cannot be allowed to be applied to items by veterans because it completely undermines our PvP system, but this does not have that same fault.
