Finding of parts needed to create items

The current way of finding items is through the killing of monsters. Yesterday I played the game Secret of Evermore. And in that game you play a boy and his dog.

This dog has the "power" to sniff out hidden items. Wouldn't it be a nice addition to have this kind of stuff in TMW.

Maybe you could have a skill that will allow your character to search for stuff in the surroundings. When you are in a cave you can find gems. In a forrest you can find berries. Or in the dessert you could find fresh water. (Probably you could only find these items near a place with those stuff. Water near an oasis etc.)

it's an interesting idea. I think it might work. Let's see what everyone else has to say.

i dislike the idea.. you would have to store items in the map or use sth on the server to hide items randomly..
it would work
but i dun like the idea

I also dislike the idea, in Secret Of Evermore... its an offline 1 player game, so you can basicaly abuse the sniffing like mad... on the second hand, since this is an ONLINE game.. people will most likely find a way to abuse it as well... too many items for people... even if its at a LOW % to get item, people will dedicate their computers to bot for them doing that...

You could have the skill have a chance to create an item from a list depending on the map type.

I dont really like it though.
