Improving Item Rolls with a new system

Fist of all I'd like to say I really like Wynncraft but if there is one thing I really don't like is the fact that Item rolls and almost 100% luck/gambling. Often times I don't really have a sense of achievement when I buy an item I want. I do like the concept of certain endgame items like Skidbladnir being pre identified since there is no rng involved.

Now I'm aware of the fact that the current system is the main reason why the trade market is as popular as it is, but I think it'd be nice to be able to improve already identified items. Corkian Insulators are a step in the right direction but all other rolls are still essentially luck.

Now here are a possible few suggestion to maybe being able to improve the stats on items. If someone has other ideas make sure to post them. Now obviously this would have to be well balanced since if its too easy it'd probably affect the economy way too much.

One possible Idea would be to make a new Gamemode (like hardcore etc.) where if you achieve certain milestones, like maybe completing all quests, levelling up professions would reward you with items that allow you to improve the stats of your items. Maybe different items such as one which improves all identifications by a small amount let's say 3% or another item that allows you to improve one specific id by like 10% could be a thing, etc.

Now since way too many people have already maxed professions, etc this would have to be a new Gamemode to not kill the market. This Gamemode should also be harder than the existing ones since it should be difficult to do, maybe by not being able to join Pfinder etc so you can't speedlevel as easily.

This would also in my opinion greatly improve the endgame since it'd give players the opportunity to max out their items over a long period of time.

 

so an entire new gamemode to unlock corkian augments?
why not just
you know
add more ways to get corkian augments/add more corkian augments

 

I just think these new augments would be better than the current ones and locking them behind sth like lootrunning might be very bad for the trade market since, that'd make them comparatively easy to obtain.

 

Forgery
Raids
Dungeons
Special Minigames
Quests
World Events
Secret Discoveries
Lootrunning

these are all ways to unlock it, or adding more, more difficult ways to get them. The new gamemode seems like a waste.
