Just a quick idea: How about a Rune to enhance uniques by running a re-roll of a unique?
e.g. A Rainbow Edge is a pretty cool sword early to mid game but it rapidly becomes less useful vs higher level one-hand swords. So how about a way to “re-forge” it into something more viable for end game use while still keeping its uniqueness/abilities.
Points:
- Obviously the re-forge would be within reason to prevent OP breaking. (E.g. lower attack speed than original but more damage or vice versa etc.)
- The enhancement could favour one stat over the another randomly or fixed - e.g. a Rainbow Edge could drop one of the elemental melees in favour of boosting another randomnly. Or a Third Eye Ring could swap crit chance and multipler the other way around.
- The Rune used for this re-forging would be VERY hard to drop
- The Rune would never break/fracture the unique.
- The resultant enhanced unique would become untradeable.
Just a thought from someone who has plenty of stash pages of uniques he is unlikely to ever use…
