New Chase Item System Idea - The Maternity Cache

It’s just like Legendaries, except you can take any two Unique items, slap them together, and make a baby Unique. And not just two of the same kind - any two! Put gloves on your shield! Put boots on your head! Put rings on your rings! The possibilities are endless.

Everything is randomized, with no determinism whatsoever.

  • Which of the two original Uniques becomes the base.
  • How many stats from the original Unique remain, and which ones.
  • How many stats from the destroyed Unique are grabbed, and which ones.

It’s so random that it would even be possible for the Maternity Cache to create a new Unique item with no affixes at all! These would become prestige collector’s items, obviously.

You might be thinking, “This is a stupid idea”, but you’d be partially wrong! This system solves two problems:

  1. You can use it with any Unique, even ones without LP!
  2. It can potentially create absurdly powerful items, but is much more likely to create garbage. Therefore, it will distract everybody who complains about Legendary items being hard, by being even harder.

I feel like we should keep people that put boots on their head away from maternities :laughing:

Seriously, though, the thing I like the most about this idea is that right now, for most uniques that drop, you check if they have better LP than what you have in your stash, otherwise you just leave them on the ground.

But with a system like this, you would actually pick them up, since they could potentially (hopefully with a very low chance of success) end up becoming a nice item.
