Greetings!
I want to share something about Godlike Items in generel, share my opinion and suggest things for those.
TDRL: Make crafting easier, Buff and give Godlike a niche so they not only get relevant but give motivation for WoE Content and make the Valkyrie Gift Ceremony better.
For the long version…
I played now WoE Se for a good time. Now that several guilds retire and not many are active, its mostly a ded “gamemode”. And while you get BB’s, War Badges (Can be exchange for Bubble+Enchant Items) and Siege Coinc (Costumes only), there is no real motivation to play it. Mostly the main argument is:
A) Making characters+gear takes much time and is expansive
B) Rewards are not worth it (I rather farm 1 Hour temple and have more).
So why is the topic about Godlike?
For starters, those special EQ pieces are back then super rare and strong stuff. Only be craftet by holding castles and getting all materials and ofc many players together to craft those. Back then, they are on Mvp Card strenghts or at least that expansive.
Now with the imense powercreep…those got irrelevant pretty hard and serve no purpose, while still be insane hard to obtain. Getting those is not “useful” for the generell player and the time crafting those can be uset for other farming. With that there are some problems:
-Godlike Materials really stock up really fast over time
-The generell mechanic and announcments are mostly unuset
-Crafting need SO many players/characters/alt accounts
-Nothing in return except a ded item
-Weird old “event” which annoys peeps for an hour.
I was thinking how to fix it and for every problem, there are many little solutions.
I remember even someone wrote a suggestion to give them a card slot or turn them into “godlike cards”, and I think those are interesting and good idea’s to get those at least relevant for some builds or creating funny new builds.
We need not to forget…were a P-Server, not kRo and creating something by our own should still be a possible thing.
But I thought to myself “Well if those was at the same price lvl as mvps and are hard to make, why not let them be handled like that?”. So an other solution I suggest is simple:
-Increase Price of the Godlike (So Guilds/Players need to work together to craft one by gathering everything) and decrease the weight of those materials (I mean they weight is 50 lol)
-Decrease amount of people for Okanir (Brynhild/Asprika) from 16 players to 8
-Decrease amount of quest needed to “unlock a seal” from 50 to 15/20/25 and let them be repeatable after 1 day (So no need to create thousend of new chars).
-Let Godlike items be convert into Godlike Cards (using this suggestion: https://forum.muhro.eu/d/3555-make-god-items-godly-again/17) or let Godlike be exchange for Sealed Card Album from a seperate Npc.
-Overhaul the Valkyrie Gift Event to be more “Muh Exclusive”
What does it solve?
First of all crafting is a bit easier and even smoll guilds can even craft one Godlike in few days/weeks. By the bigger amount of Items needed, guilds need to gather items together so they are able to craft the item itself so more teamplay is involved and its getting bit more expansive.
The option to turn them into Cards/Sealed Card Album gives Guilds somekind of reward to make their char stronger for PvE (Godlike Cards) or after the activity potential good Sealed Mvp Card as a group reward for some income (or gamble for Mvp Scroll).
And the result of those would be, that WoE gets generell more attention. Playing and fighting for fun, glory and potential good stuff are a good combination to somehow resurrect the gamemode itself. Maybe the GM’s make it easier to get into it too aswell, who knows.
For the Ceremony itself…
For starters, after crafting Brynhild/Asprika you get a special flower to trigger this event. It will spawn some monster in Yuno/Rachel for 1 Hour which drop….Gift boxes.
I would suggest to add some Muh Flavour by:
-Decrease time from 1 Hour to 30min
-Add Cowrings and other juicy mobs too (With spicy loot).
-Add a Coldown of 1 day each town
That way people can celebrate this mini event triggered by players and even get something out of it for staying in town. Ofc it should be not 1 Hour and have a coldown depends on the loot you can get lol
Now I ask you what you think.
Im totally agains “let it rott in the past” but want it to be modern (By gravity or as costum content) or at least some niche, so people can enjoy WoE more with better rewards.
Those idea are not perfect but as a community we can make it great again and I know we can do something out of it 
Thanks for your attention
