"It would" said Gimli, "If I had a pipe to go with it. Alas, I lost mine in Moria, or before."
Gimli clearly stated that he had his own pipe, but he had lost it. This means that there are more than just hobbit pipes. Therefore, I suggest that some more pipes are added!
Dwarven Pipes: they would be a bit shorter and stouter (wider) than the hobbit pipes. Dwarves would sometimes smoke them, and you could sometimes get one when you kill a dwarf. (or if you trade for one) The dwarven pipes would send out smoke rings, but the holes would be vertical instead of horizontal like hobbits. Still dyable. (Maybe there could be an easter egg, (Gimlis Pipe) in Moria?
Elves would not have pipes, as Legolas called them strange for smoking.
Ranger Pipes: These would come from rangers, and you could kill or trade for one. These would be longer and thinner than hobbit pipes, and instead of smoke rings, they would send out little streams or wisps of smoke. Smoke is Dyable as well.
Longpipes and Shortpipes: these would be used by normal and evil MEN. I mean, the people in Bree smoked pipes, so men would have pipes as well. They would randomly smoke either longpipes or shortpipes. The shortpipes would be shorter, more like dwarven pipes, and longpipes would be longer like ranger pipes. Dyable as well.
Special Pipes: the ship is really nice, but I always thought if more could be added.
- 1) Thorins pipe changed color. You need to combine a dwarven pipe with MULTIPLE colors. (Combine it with yellow dye, then red, then black.) The different colors you dye the pipe with, will determine the colors which your smoke changes.
- 2) Lucky Pipe: Combine a four leaf clover with a hobbit pipe. This makes a lucky pipe! When you smoke it, a green four leaf clover is what comes out! When you smoke this, you get the achievement "Lucky Smoker".
- 3) Glowing Pipe: When you combine glowstone dust with a dwarven pipe, you get a Glowing Pipe. The smoke rings you blow emit a light level of 3 or 4. Achievement- "Light Smoker". (Get it? XD)
- 4) Combine a light grey dyed pipe with a cobweb. This will make a pipe which, when smoked, makes a 3x3x3 cloud of mist which completely hides you from any enemies eyes. When you do this, you get the achievement "Cloaked Smoker". (You can't see anything either while you're in there)
- 5) Combine a Ranger Pipe with an Arrow. When smoked, this pipe shoots a light grey smoke arrow! It doesn't do any damage, but it would be kind of funny. When you smoke this, you get the achievement "Projectile Smoker".
Hope all of you guys enjoyed this suggestion! Comment if you think another type of pipe or smoke should be available! Kudos always appreciated!
