proposed change for demitels / recipe system
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:59 am
Here's what I'm thinking to do once ML peerless are fully done and recipes drop:
1: like crystal daemon starts off with 25 crystal elementals, then maybe 10 crystal dragons, then it spawns. Maybe more, we'd have to test.
2: Instead of them dropping the artifacts, they only drop a recipe to make them, they would not drop ingredients though, so you'd have to do ML peerless for those. Recipes will usually drop in the corpse, but for peerless I'd make an exception and make them go in the backpack like an arty.
I could also make them 1 time use recipes so its like getting an artifact except you need to take extra steps before using it. The chance of getting a particular one would be higher then with peerless though, as each boss has maybe 3 or so different recipe possibilities.
In fact now that I think of it I may add a uses field to recipes, even the peerless ones, I can limit them to like 5 uses. A use would only be deducted upon successful crafting.
Just wondering what everyone thinks of this. I was thinking of making demitels quest driven, but going this route will be much faster. What I just want to do is make them require more work then they currently do, as I want to make the ML artifacts viable as well and currently they are way harder to get.
Another thing, arties like ecru ring will be recipe driven here, except those particular recipes will be easier to get and unlimited use.
