    Hello!

    I know there are loot crates, but what if there ways a viable money sink in wynn that pretty much was unboxing. Instead of getting effects, you could get random items.

    The could potentially undermine loot bombs, but if this was added to the game, it could be a viable money sink to those who are willing to pay.

    Rewards could be:
    Random weapons and armor 1-100
    Horses
    Ultra-rare special items (zombles and pumpkins)
    *Any other suggestions?


    Due to the massively-inflated wynnconomy and no viable money sinks, i believe this would be a good solution to that while adding something new rather than taking something away.
    In addition, it creates a fun way to loot farm and a fun way to add more content to wynncraft and also allows those who have weak builds to build better ones.

    Thanks to @SaltyPhox for suggesting the creation of price ranges for the items.
    0-10=32 E
    10-20-1 eb
    20-30-2 eB
    30-40- 4 eb
    40-50-8 eb
    50-60 16 eb
    ETC. 90-100 would be 2 LE


    Thank you for your time,
    r4g4/DoctorWhen

    A money sink that will give advantages to the peoples who got a lot of money ?

    Hum... Nope.
    ________________________________
    Doing this as an activity could be a good idea.
    But create this for being a money sink is a bit weird.

    What I mean by it is that it could be a viable way to lower the amount of emeralds in circulation while at the same time creating a fun way to get rid of them. There could be multiple types of these, each for a different level group. the higher the level, the more it costs.
    It would also be a fun way to gain stuff without going on loot runs, given one is willing to face the cost.
    Nope, I have enough money to buy a mythic, and I don't need one for my build. I am simply trying to create a new, fun thing for the community

    Replacing money with items is not a viable solution, if you replace every currency in the world with their value in chewing gum, (assuming you can counteract the potential mass devaluation of the gum), people will just start trading in chewing gum.
    Unless you're suggesting something other than items, this won't work.

    Not the worst idea, but the reward being items turns the thread real sour real quick.

    We need a money sink that's not a shameless attempt at getting rid of emeralds.

    Throw down some prices. Where do you buy them? Are there different rarities? There is a lot you could do yourself to make it better

    MAYBE we just "promise" the players emeralds, but when they arrive we mug them?
    Pros:
    Drains extra emeralds from ecomomy

    Cool loot 4 uz
    Cons:
    Can't really see any..

    There could be various mechants of these items around the world, in shops similar to scroll shops. For low level gear, the prices could be around 1 EB, for mid-level it could be 32 EB. At the max, 1 LE. However, one could tone down prices depending on what changes there are at getting items. No one would spend 1 le to get a normal lvl 99 weapon. I have seen things on certain servers than when clicked grant something in exchange of using it. We could possibly make a bind to a box that when right clicked grants the user a random item.
    ________________________________
    Do you have any other ideas for rewards? I agree we cannot have a shameless money sink, but if one built it correctly, it would work.

    That's where this thread really starts to choke up. The only other worthwhile reward is cosmetics, but at that point it's just Crates. This suggestion just won't work; it'd be best off to have a completely different feature for a money sink.

    okay, you're one step closer to making a suggestion. what you have to do now is make a price chart and add it to the op
