PvE Temper Ideas

[Tharkas]

So the idea of being able to temper your items via PvE instead of soley due to arena has been brought up. For something like this to be implemented it has to be fair for everyone from lvl 1 to lvl 90. Glitch has done his best to make sure that anyone is able to arena (with a little work) and gain tokens to temper their items so I'm going to try and make this as fair as possible. I have a few ideas I'd like to share and any input is more than welcome.

Idea #1: The Colosseum

My first idea is that every town have something called "The Colosseum" that groups of 1 to 3 people can enter into. Much like arena each fight will gain you tokens and ratings. Unlike arena you either fight a single monster or a team of monsters. This would NOT give you the 5 minute bonus that arena gives you, so it couldn't be used for resourcing, trophies, or town walking experience. To create a Colosseum team you would have to pay the same 25k as in arena. To enter into a Colosseum fight your entire team would have to be in the same town, and to actually enter the fight you would use your hotkey button "Find Enemy" to enter the Colosseum. Glitch could make any other entrance method that he likes too. IMO arena AND colosseum tokens should stack so you can gain tokens from doing both. Ratings on the other hand SHOULD NOT STACK! That would make receiving x8 tempers way to easy. The colosseum would only be open during arena seasons but there would be no grand prize for top colosseum team (this will keep arena more competitive) Thats the jist of idea number 1


Idea #2: Boss Farming

I had an idea similar to Aes's idea that i think would be much more fair. Bosses should have a drop added that is something like a temper stone. Any bosses at or below your level will NEVER yield a temper stone. Bosses up to 8 lvls above yours would have a possibility of dropping 1x or 2x temper stones. Bosses 9-15 levels higher than your own would have a possiblity of dropping 1x to 3x temper stones. Bosses 16-20 levels higher could possibly drop 2x to 4x. Bosses 21-25 could be 3x to 6x. Bosses 26 to 30 levels higher 4x to 7x. And Finally the bosses that are 31+ levels higher than your current level would possibly drop 5x to 8x temper stones. Now when you have your temper stones there would be a few options of how to get those tempers onto your equipmet. One way would be 1 temper stone + 10x as many heroic essences to temper an item. So a 4x temper would cost you the 1 temper stone and 40 heroic ess. An 8x would be 80 heroic ess. Add those items and your armor into an enchanting rod and boom. There ya go. If an idea such as this was implemented I do belive that ALL temper stones should be sb and the only thing you can do with them is use them or destroy them.

I feel that both of these ideas are fair to everyone. Even a lvl 90 would still be able to gather temper stones with idea 2. Like I stated before if you have any ideas, questions, concerns, flames, or what not feel free to share and discuss. Happy hunting Nod!
