i mean vetex plans to hop on the premium payout stuff but i doubt hecate essence is his way of doing it, but I like the idea of making it non-RNG based, except the issue is the dark sea is essentially entirely RNG regardless so there would have to be a new system, not too sure about it being a quest because it would most likely be something like “Super smart mage tells you to get 100 colossal clams, 3 prometheus acrimonies, and 30000 galleons to get a funny compass that magically shows you the nearest hecate essence” or something
None of this abides by the lore to begin with, this is solely for the sake of gameplay.
ok hear me out a reusable bell toll item you can get from your 25th dark sealed chest opened. think bell saint’s chime from pilgrammed
people who have already opened 25 get it for free
using the bell toll in the far reaches summons hecate’s soul who gives you an arbitrary quest, like “collect 25 thornflower” or something that would be repeatable but give no xp
the only reward would be a magic change and you would turn it in by using the bell toll again in the far reaches
am i cooking or is it raw or did i burn the food
This is a solution that could work, but, as crazy as it sounds, I actually really like the concept of hecate essence. I just think it was executed poorly.
I don’t want to take any side in this arguement. But I think that you’d better get someone with patreon to ask this question in the patreon chat. Its not just safer this way, but also faster.
Btw, sorry if someone already told that, I scrolled topic in the rush.
I already did that and it didn’t work.
I’ve also already pinged him so whatever’s gonna happen is gonna happen
My default is just deleting my file because right now it’s easier to just make an alt, level it up, transfer my stuff and then re-make the file. I don’t mind it personally, let’s me experience an update from the perspective of a new player whenever I do it. Gets annoying if the file has a brig or something though.
Level cap isn’t too high so it’s not going to take forever to get back to where I was either. I’d only seek Hecate shards whenever, you know, assuming the level cap was at 300 right now and I was around that level. Def could be better, since imo the main issue is GETTING to the Far Reaches which is the most tedious thing here. Because if you die, you gotta sail all that distance again before you can even look for the essence itself.
dont worry soon we’re gonna be able to pay robux to level up, so deleting files isnt even that bad!!
issue solved 
I think this is just so that whenever a magic becomes op not everyone runs it because it is too hard to switch to magic that won’t be meta forever
Is what you just said not like… a problem?
RIght now, yes

What happens when part of literally any other class becomes meta?
ur stupid
tbf he could just like temporarily bring it to i2 and then when level cap is like 200 it goes back to i3
ngl atlanteans are not really the problem, the deal is finding one and hoping it’s not underground
I sure as hell back this whole thread
Yes, but not to me, because unless you have rare stuff (which a cross-save file item bank could solve this issue, and make alts unnecessary), then you can get back to where you were without much effort.
That… you shouldn’t need alt banks to begin with.
I’m baffled that you don’t see the issue with everything you’ve said.
I am in fact not stupid thank you
Vetex adding hectare essence could be him saying ‘look, it’s just here so you know it exists, but I don’t recommend actually searching for it because there’s an unofficial level requirement of 400 since it’s the far reaches and for your current level you’re not supposed to be there yet. Sure it’s possible to change your magic, but I don’t recommend it until the level cap actually raises, this addition is only for lore stuff and so people that are really desperate can try to change them’

Yes however what they’re saying is stupid is that you’re defending and attempting to justify it.
The alt banks aren’t just for this whole situation, it’d be QoL for transferring items from one file to another. Like if you wanna make a warrior/conjurer but have a Sunken Sword on your mage file.
