Alchemy

I personally think the title is already a full enough explanation of this proposal. Use junk items like ToA shards, untradeable items, one-per-class items (Corrupted Treasure lol), enchant powders, etc., etc. and turn them into something more useful. Maybe you can give a water bottle and some ingredients to a specific brewer to get a random potion based on the ingredients you gave - stuff like that. I think it'd just give some of these items more usage than just "complete that quest then I can throw this away." I'm not going to solidify any numbers for it because that's something up to the developers ;p

example:

You have a water bottle, blaze powder, and Green Powder I.

You hand these ingredients to a special Alchemist in certain towns (detlas, almuj, nemract, etc.), and in turn receive a Strength potion with randomized potency (level 1,2, or 3) and duration(3-5 minutes).

 

Idea seems okay, but some of these pots could be very very OP

 

a way to fix that could be to use rare or hard-to-get items (bob's tear, (pumpkins? lol), Death ToA shard) as ingredients for the potions

 

Ok a few simple things, warrior can give strength and resistance for 3:00 and archer can give speed for 3:00, soo yeah no, but junk items can be traded with junk merchs for emeralds

 

Still you could easily buy the potions of a level 75 friend or something

 

not all of them - mashed insects, aqua dust, ToA shards, enchant powders we don't really need can't be traded in to junk merchants.

while the Warrior/Archer classes have their stat boosts, you can use other potion effects or ingame effects in lieu of strength, resistance, and speed. (e.x. I've always wanted to jump over the annoying fences at x location (Jump Boost), wish I got my endgame gear a bit faster (loot boost), etc.) You can also make the effects of the potion lesser to the effect you get from Warrior/Archer classes.

wouldn't think they'd come cheap, especially for the ingredients harder to come by ;p (the effects of the potion itself may also be nerfed)

 

Then why not go around the fence :3. (It was at this moment flip lost all of his friends ;-;)

 

I like the base concept......... Except that it's been done before with greater detail.

 

it has, yes, but I kept this ambiguous so people won't fight over the specific numbers ("no it should be like 4 minutes instead of 5!")

 

I like the idea, but it might need tweaking. Instead of junk items, only Items that are "untradable" should be used. And instead of a specific merchant that buys items and sells potions, it should work like the Item Buyers. You but a water bottle in and put some items in, and perhaps press a button, and depending on how good the items you put in are, you get good potions. That way you are not sure what you will get, but you know the better Items would give better stuff. It would give a use to any extra relic items you have. You cant sell them, but perhaps you could turn them into potions.

All together great Idea.

+1

 

One-per-class items too? (corrupted treasure)

 

Dont bother because proffesions wich you are talking about like herbalism smithing alchemy etc will be added with GAVEL!

 

.-. wat

 

Uhh, since when?

 

Please describe this more...

 

Oh really now... where's your evidence?

 

okay

 

No, I was thinking only items that you do not need but can't trade. Some examples would be

Relic items

Flowers from that spider cave low level quest

Flowers from the cave in time valley

Stuff like that.

And now that you say it, herhaps as well misc. items like gold ingots

Just not quest items and junk items

 

eh maybe not all junk items, but how would a relic item go into a potion? (still could be viable) ;p

 

I'm just spitballing Ideas here. Cuz like, you can get multiple relic items, but they are untradable. Like u put a relic boots in and get speed or chestplate and get resist or something. IDK, just making it up as I go along. The main point what that its not 100% certain what you will get, just that better stuff will get you better potions.
