SOE unveiled the newest twist in the forthcoming Legacy of Ykesha expansion--the new "Charms" inventory slot. If you thought the charms were just going to be another ol' piece of armor or jewelry, think again. Charms will be able to sense the world around them and affect it in directed ways. Charms appear as if they will increase in power depending on a certain factor or factors--examples given were wealth, hiding/sneaking ability, and wearing pieces of similar armor. There is also a "rumor" mentioned by SOE that some charms will only work with weapons or armor made by the same crafter who made the charm, and that the more of the crafter's armor the charm detects being worn by its owner, the stronger the charm will become. This could be the first step toward a more personalized and malleable tradeskill system, something that definitely seems to be the emerging trend in MMORPG's.
