This post is from a Cof player and mostly relates to Cof but may also be useful for merchants guild you decide .
I posted a small thought on this in one my other topics but I felt maybe it needs it’s own thread.
A new favor that could be used to dismantle uniques
How?
By a new npc maybe ? Or maybe a dungeon run to get to the npc or mini quest?
Are you sick and tired of getting great lp on a rare unique that has no use for your current build but you won’t let it go because you think maybe they’ll be a use later ?
My suggestion is you can dismantle uniques, and based on there rarity to aquire via drop table and lvl of lp it has , will give a certain favor value that scales accordingly where common uniques with low lp will obviously give almost no unique favor ~ temporary name for now you guys can think of a better name etc.
But if something is Uber rare and drops 2-4 lp on top of that it’ll be worth huge unique favor .
What this favor can give could be related to bosses/unique/lp amplifiers
And if you dismantle a unique that has a failed slam it’ll give half or a 1/4 the original favor so it’ll also give some value to outgrown gear to dismantle that has high value and it’ll be an item sink for unique items which could also be useful .
But the npc is reached through some kind of key/dungeon so the full inventory you bring of high rarity / hi Lp loot matters .
That way you can’t just farm tons of horrid uniques low lp or else it’ll not be worth much and be way less effective and you’d waste a key/run by doing so .
I believe this could solve some issues , and add another cool layer to the grind and help balance the bad rng either with slams or bad rng with getting epic loot with opposite classes requirements .
I also only play Cof and feel this would help Cof a lot .
Maybe even merchant guild to thin out the amount of uniques on market ? Dunno I only play Cof .
Oh and maybe have the unique favor value added to the bottom of uniques ?
