Eva, you're completely right. I sorta took a bit much to the fact I had found that sword for my character a little too much, which I may have missed that point in my last post.
The point should be, above all to use your discrescion. Then consider the actual use and relevance to RP it actually yields, stay away from exact game items and find ways to show that you earned such a weapon or piece of armor of notability that won't ruffle feathers with those who've also earned it.
While I did not get to do as much RP as I would have liked in 1.0, so this is a frail example, but there's a NM that drops a bandit mask. I guess that's a pretty good example of a NM item, as it's named, but anyways, when I got it, I thought it'd be perfect for a Thief attire. For ME, since I had no RP build up of being a Thief yet (as it was more of an end result as Molt transitions through his life) and had no RP backstory anyone knew of, I was able to say, yeah that's just a slightly enchanted mask he inherited from his father. Just a run of the mill bandit mask with +Acc on it to help with vision and for..."dexteritous" purposes.
As you go on, it may get a little more difficult, as if you find a weapon of some significance, you may want to consider whether or not you want that weapon to show off OOCly. This will make you want to incorporate it ICly, of course, but if you can't figure out a special reason to have it, you may be better off saying you made or found the weapon and while it looks neat it actually slices and dices too!
