Guys, I beg you, please, please don't highjack this thread with off topic ideas.
In fact, can admin please clean this up?
The idea of fixing the negative BC/skill defect is to important to get highjacked.

Fixed! Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...
So yeah, i think this is a concept that the DEV team needs to tackle at some point.

I agree with this idea too, but I think most the existing bosses have boss drops. I have discussed with Ian making the JoF a boss drop. I think we did not come to any conclusion about how to make that happen, but the most logical option would be to have the Ghost of Luthor drop it. Still fairly easy to get, but at least not just a purchase.

i'm down with Luthor, it's not too easy to get early & the location is appropriate.

OK. On the to-do list. Number 35
. Again, not my final decision, but I will bring it up.

Agreed. If we still think that JoF is too powerful for this early in the game, perhaps we could give it a negative, perhaps to AC or BC, so that for a low level player, whose damage from extra swings is minimal anyway, the balance may be better served by waiting to use it until you are stronger, or take the bigger risk now. By mid game, it should still be a clear plus for any build.

i'm glad it happened though, one good idea begat another!
back on topic: i want to do some early quests, for places already in the game...
it's the perfect place for re-allocations like this.
