The Problem
Rune of Ascendance is a great crafting mechanic, but using it one item at a time becomes extremely tedious when you have a large number of runes.
For example, players who accumulate 500 or more Runes of Ascendance have to repeat the same crafting process hundreds of times. This creates unnecessary clicking and takes time away from actual gameplay.
The Suggestion
What if we could craft a special Woven Echo that contains an Ascendance Forge, allowing players to transform up to 50 items at once?
How It Would Work
-
Craft a Special Woven Echo: Players use in-game resources to craft an Echo containing the Ascendance Forge.
-
Complete the Echo: After completing it, players unlock access to the forge for that Echo.
-
Load Up to 50 Items: Players place up to 50 eligible item bases into the forge, using one Rune of Ascendance per item.
-
Transform Everything at Once: All items are processed simultaneously, following the normal Rune of Ascendance rules.
-
Collect the Results: The resulting Unique and Set items drop on the ground, ready to be inspected and collected.
Rules and Balance
-
Only item bases eligible for normal Rune of Ascendance transformations can be used.
-
Each item consumes one Rune of Ascendance.
-
The transformation rules and chances remain exactly the same.
-
This does not increase the chance of obtaining specific Uniques, Set items, or Legendary Potential.
-
The forge is only accessible during that Echo. Once the player leaves, the altar becomes unavailable, and any uncollected items remain behind.
Why This Would Be a Good Addition
The goal is not to increase loot or make farming easier. It is to improve quality of life by reducing repetitive crafting actions.
Players could spend less time clicking through the Forge interface and more time enjoying the game, farming Monoliths, and hunting for rare items.
Same rules. Same chances. Less clicking!
