Suggest item - helmet of grinding

Post by Darkstar »

I have been playing this game for a while and I think it is awesome. I want to thank everyone for the great work and one day I hope to be able to contribute something to the project.

I had an idea for an item that might be helpful, but I don't know if it is possible. I think it would be great to have an item that would speed up the spawn rate of the monsters, making the grind a bit easier.

Welcome to the forum Darkstar :D

Great idea, like 'Magic Finder', but effects monster spawn rate. Could be called 'Provoke', it would be like combining MF 'Magic Finder' (more kills = more drops) and 'Quick Learner' (more kills = more exp).

Good idea, but I'm not so sure I'd like to grind for a helmet to help with grinding. If you have to grind anyway, why not just grind for whatever it is you seek? If this is implemented, make it a quest reward instead of a grind reward.

Now that you mention it, no one. I suppose since all of the best items in the game are obtained by grinding it just popped into my mind.

I think it would be best if it was awarded from a quest. Maybe call it the helmet of darkness, that spawns monsters to the one who wears it. Something like that.

:evil: Now this brings some ideas :twisted:

What if... every normal helmet that can be bought has a CHANCE it will be CURSED? :o
And you only noticed once you equip it? :shock:
And no matter how hard you try, nothing helps to remove it :(

Of course, the omnipresent shadow priests are willing to help - for a fee
They can lift the curse and the helmet will be normal once again

Cursed helmet of Provocation - increase the spawn rate of all monsters
Cursed gauntlets of Lifeblood - whenever you hit a monster, it transfers 1 health to you opponent
Cursed boots of Bravery - disables flee function

:twisted:

I like the idea of cursed items, would open up some great quest tie-ins.

We just don't need to have the option of a cursed RoLs (1000 rocks to get a cursed one would prompt anarchy)

:lol:

I think I just had a cool idea for the quest. You go into a dungeon with long narrow hallways. The resistance will not be to much,then you kill the boss and you can't move unless you have the helmet on. Getting back out will be extremely hard because of all of the monsters in the narrow halls as a result of wearing the helmet.

+1 Im fan of curced and poor quality items... lets say that every now and then when you find (or buy) weapon it is poor quality or even curced. You dont immediatelly see it in yours stat but it is weaker than ordinary one or there are some nasty side effeck... After some time you got special pop up message "something is wrong... this sword is just a useless".

Maby there are skill "exemine", when you have 1 level you notised problem earlier and. whit 2 level you find it out before buy or equipped it..
