What is this? What can be made from it?

Additional options were honestly an amazing addition, that with the change that made drops more likely to be for your job made it so easy for new players/low-level/side characters to get a set of equipment that was good for you. And for higher level people, it's very easy to get the good Flames from crafting or from events to get your current equipment really good stats, you don't have to pay anything.

If for some reason the scissor count even affected you (why would someone need to trade a piece of equipment 5 times?), you could probably afford to just make another one...

I would like additional options on my gear, but I play multiple characters so most of my gear is tradable. Almost all my items are self made and cubed. It took a very long to make, so I don't want to make multiples of a equip because it would lose trade ability when the flame is applied. Having to do so to keep up with everyone, damage wise, is just punishing players that like to play multiple characters. Maybe nerf some of the effects of additional options, and keep them tradable would be better. I could only hope for that :/
