Idea for an in-game feature....

This came to me while I was watching the Lineage 2 trailers.  You know how arrows and such get stuck in your shield?

It would be really cool to be able to collect the arrowheads, and have an armorsmith make a suit of armor out of it.

I was also thinking, along the same lines (and I don't know if this is an MMORPG standard, I've only played 2 so far) that lets say for instance you were a mace weilder, and you decided to go with a sheild.  You should be able to level your skills in both, as individual skills.  So if I wanted to spend my xp to make sure I was a master with that shield, I could work on the before my offensice mace skills.

That way you could become a specialist with many different combinations of weaponry and defensive equipment.

Like I said, I'm a newb to the genre, only been playing a year, and have only tried 2 games.  But those are my thoughts, good or bad
