Currently the idol enchanting is a pure slot machine. Let’s say I have a class idol I like and would like a beneficial enchantment on it. Unless I am missing something, my only option is to “re-enchant” it again and again and again. Worst, I have no way to increase my odds or do anything smart with this specific farm.
I am playing CoF and am generally enjoying the item chase. Practically for every other item there is a least some mechanic to make me feel I can take meaningful actions to farm it more efficiently. But not for idol enchantments.
For example, farming class idols is also quite a pain, but at least I can seek echos which drop idols and use CoF proficiencies. Btw, when I just started farming class idols I mainly tried to “re-forge” bad ones which also killed my fun (pure slot machine with no progression unless you hit the jackpot). When I stopped doing this and farmed class idols using other methods I actually enjoyed it.
Some ideas of the top of my head:
-
When “re-enchanting” an idol give me 3 options: Two new ones or to keep the previous enchantment. This will both give me a meaningful choice, eliminating the slot machine feeling, and reduce the chance that my item deteriorates from it’s previous state (assuming the new options will still use weaver’s will I won’t know exactly how they will turn out, so it is still not risk free, personally I think this is fine).
-
Let us transfer idol enchantments to a new idol of exactly the same type (i.e., destroying the old idol). Currently, if I find a new class idol which I prefer but the old one has a nice enhancement…
On a related note, as other feedback posts have requested, let us reroll the base affix values on class idols. It’s hard enough to farm ones with beneficial affixes. I don’t think this should be added to something as common as any cemetery, but maybe at the end of special rare echos.
Thanks!
