Title: Improve QOL of opening Zerocell weapon boxes
Description:
Today we spend nearly 30 mins opening boxes, organizing, recycling weapons from a 60 minute farm. This is yet another suggestion to try to improve the QOL of opening Zerocell weapon boxes.
- Change Zerocell Weapon Box to drop an enchant ticket specific to a weapon instead of dropping a pre-enchanted weapon.
i.e. Opening Zero Cell Weapon Box (Nox/Arc) will now give
Encroached Axe Enchant Ticket (10%)
Encroached Bow Enchant Ticket (10%)
Encroached Book Enchant Ticket (10%) and so on… - These enchant tickets can be use at the enchanter npc to roll enchants for the particular type they are associated with.
- These enchant tickets can also be used at a (new?) NPC to buy an un-enchanted version of the respective weapon (this is the new path to obtaining weapon now)
- These enchant tickets can be used with TossIt to get Zerocell Weapon Fragments (same as before)
Why is this a good idea?
Removes the significant time spent by players to organize, look at each weapon for good enchants. With the new method players can just open up all boxes, go to enchanter and keep rolling enchants quickly.
It also keeps the balance of not making enchants easier to obtain (it’s still the same as before - but rather than getting the weapons pre-enchanted randomly, you take an additional step to do it at the enchanter)
What risks or downsides does it have?
This is not a like-to-like replacement of the existing system. The new proposed system is worse than the existing system in terms of value because - today you get a free roll AND are able to either recycle or sell to npc bad rolls. With the new system - using up the enchant ticket for a roll - means you lose it’s value with nothing in return.
