Lets make some use of those "collectables" shall we?

[MacIronhawk]

There's been quite a few threads asking about what the "collectables", or treasures, are used for. Why should they be used only for collecting? Why can't we make some use of them so they benefit us players?

I think if we could use collectables in ways other than collecting, we should be able to use them to decorate or enhance our weapons. Some games make it so that if you find or receive things from quests you can use them to help build your character. Why can't we use our jewels, like the ruby, to upgrade our weapons in different ways or even decorate them? Imagine thousands of ways to decorate all of your weapons or upgrade them with these "collectables". I think it would really make the game a lot more fun when it comes to fighting enemies and receiving things from them.
