The funny thing is modifiers were supposed to make chest loot more worthwhile in builds compared to boss drops, but I just avoid them because they’re 10x worse to grind.

Screw modifiers

All my homies hate modifiers

535

This is an idea i had for a very long time but i never really bothered to type it out and suggest it cause i had a feeling that itd just get looked over. Im happy other people think of this. Getting a specific modified gear of your choice is just a huge time sink especially if you’re looking for a blasted piece.

I dont know if being able to applied modifiers to boss gear and sunkens is bad, i think its pretty cool if you could because it gives you greater build flexibility. but idk could also be unbalanced.

After reading all these argumentative forum replies, I think that I can finally understand why Vetex hates the AO community now. lmao :sleeper:

I like the suggestion, the way I’d implement this would be like this:

  • Modifier essences can not be applied to Sunken items, Dark Sealed Chest items, Lost Chart items and Boss items. Pretty much everything that cannot currently get the modifiers to maintain balance.
    • When attempting to apply to these items an error would appear “Only Atlantean Essence can be applied to this item!”
  • Each chart has a chance to give one after completing the last treasure spot but legendary charts are guaranteed to always drop one. (Affected by luck)
    • Example chances: Common: 20%, Uncommon 40%, Rare: 60%, Exotic 80%, Legendary 100%

Forgive me if my points have already been stated I am not reading all the replies.

I will make sure this topic NEVER dies

546

also considering how active this topic is, I’m surprised the system hasn’t bumped it

speaking of which why DOES the system bump certain topics so much?

I hate this suggestion because I can no longer capitalize on modified items by selling them at 60k love gambling
