But, that said, irregardles-
It would be very nice if we had a tool or ability, or something, to blueprint or mirror, our items appearances so that we can transfer said appearance on to new/different/better items we find.
One of the other servers (I bleive it was the Skullport one) had customized appearance generators. They were the ones where you changed your items appearance in front of a large mirror in game. The one in this game is much better but once cool thing about that appearance changer, was that you could create a blueprint of an item, say a pair of boots, that then could be used to make any boots have exact same same look as the blueprint.
This is one of those "wouldnt it be nice" kind of suggestions.
