Would it be possible to expand the loot tables in the Archeology Quest? There are the 3 or 4 sets that you can pull from the quest and nothing else. Would it be possible to expand the loot tables to include maybe some of these ideas?


Ideas:
Ancient Treasure maps/SOSs (maps that may be lvl 5 or 6) that may also have special loot
Tomb Keys - Collect 2-3 keys to enter into a tomb that may is a lot harder and you have a time limit but may have better loot (think Indiana Jones)
(for the lack of a better name) Ultra Priceless artifacts - Can only be found in tombs but are either nice deco or maybe worth 100k to the priceless dealer
Special Titles after doing so many
BOD rewards gear like ancient smithing hammers
Socket scrolls and the same stuff found in lvl 4+ tmaps
Special Augments only found from ancient treasure maps/SOSs
"The Pharoah's Throne" - Deco item

I like those ideas

  Interesting stuff here...


"Ancient Treasure Maps": remind me of the themed T-maps we can already do. However, your thoughts inspired me with the following ideas... What about the option to gain custom T-maps that lead us inside one of the currently available 'Static' dungeons, where one of Kane's instant dungeons/tombs might spawn--with a treasure filled chest waiting at the end-- once we dug down to the (instant) entrance. There is much potential here for expanding on UOE's custom Treasure hunting theme here, what do you think?

'Tomb Keys': I like this idea. However, I am not for the "find keys to gain access to a tomb" aspect. That said, I feel that the keys you mention should be a continuation aspect of the tombs we do find our way into. Think of this like golden skulls, first you enter doom, then there is a challenge to see the hidden part of doom, which requires us to collect X amount of items. However, instead of collecting bones, we can find these tomb keys anywhere in the game, and only use them when we find our ways inside of a tomb. All the keys would do, is allow us to go through another door, fight some more monsters--perhaps-- and gain a little more loot. However, it would be up to Kane to decide if there were several locked Tomb doors which required Tomb Keys to open all in one Tomb. These keys might also, open a new kind of treasure chest inside of tombs, Tomb Chests anyone? I suggest that the keys be trade-able as well, just like golden skulls are. 

As for the "Ultra Priceless artifacts," I think we already have those. At least when it comes to set pieces and other non-set items we can find inside tombs. I like the time limit aspect, though. 

'Special Titles': I know Kane is creating a title system, which grants bonuses-- depending on which title you have in use--, but I am unsure if there will be a title for Tomb Raiding...

In closing I just want to say, this is all good stuff, and that I will be asking Domino about your "The Pharoah's Throne" - Decoration idea. This idea is once again, another good idea... Kitchens are nice, but sometimes a man/woman needs a trophy to remind them of something risky they once did.

I am up for anything. I love doing tombs but there is only 1 item in the loot table that is worth much. After selling 7 pairs of sandals I have become bored and seem to have flooded the sandal market.


The base is already there for a great mechanic but the loot tables just seem stale.

I suggest, a teamspeak conversation with Kane. He is always open to conversation about Evolution shard stuff.


  Just be prepared for the word No. Not everything can be added, but in the few months that I have known him, Kane has created some clever things due to a few of my observations. However, he still creates something in the end that is purely Kane, but like I always tell others. Something is better then nothing.

I will try to reach out to him in the next week or so whenever he has time.


Another idea with the pharoah's throne deco item. Maybe make it a turn in item with the full set required for it. Has a possibility to effect the value of tombs without changing the loot tables.

  I have mentioned the Throne Deco idea to Domino. What she wants to do with it is up to her.


  Silly Dewey, thrones dont make you more powerful. They are for sitting in... sighs...  laughs.




   --Sturger--

Just lure those dragons to you and kill them while sitting on a throne

OH but I think thrones do make you more powerful! They make you a KING or a Pharoah! I kinda like the idea of adding deco that fits the tomb theme to the loot tables tho...stay tuned
