This thread may come to nothing because I'm not confident on the details. Nor am I willing, right now, to think too hard.

I've been playing a few more MMOs lately, and something that comes up often is crafting skills or abilities. I had the idea that zOMG! could replicate this. Possibly an animated, lets use an OMG for this example, drops a recipe. However, this should be named something else to save the world from confusion. This wouldn't be an ordinary recipe though, instead of crafting an item, you would craft a temporary passive ability. To craft this you would have to have copious amounts of loot.

You would be able to activate this ability in a tab in the PDA. (Can be accessed via key K). You can only use up to 4 (could change?) of these abilities at a time. You would just drag the icon of the ability into a rack (similar to rings and powerups). When activated they would show up in the your buffs panel in the target/crew pane. A tool tip would show you how long until the ability wears off. You would have to be sure you wanted to use this because you wouldn't be able to remove the ability until it disappears. A confirmation pop-up would ask if you were sure.

These skill-recipes could be made on the main site, and also in game at Nico's store. You would have to walk to Barton Town and talk to him (brings up a recipe pop-up). If you had the loot necessary then Nico would make it for you, of course this would cost a bit. There might be the possibility of skill-recipes taking a while to make (5 minutes or so).

These abilities wouldn't be items, so they could not be traded or sold. Though they could be destroyed. I don't know if the recipe should be soulbound or not...

I hope that I included enough detail that you've understood the message.

So it's like a crafted buff (as in, the actual effect, not the ring type)?

I think I've seen some ideas for this before (my mind is telling me something about being able to craft Garlic Breath from stuff dropped from Garlics, so all attacks would do.. whatever garlic breath does [guess who hasn't been in Bill's Ranch lately]).

Sounds more like working a spell, lol

What kind of abilities did you have in mind? Aren't we supposed to be getting passive abilities in the buddies? How many do we need?
