Cerim Exclusive Traits with Plague Ichor Upgrades

Roan: The ichor must flow through your veins. The scrolls say it gives strength to your kind.

Me: Yes I can feel the power within me! I can now hold 5 more resources :joy:

I think we should have something better than the current system.

My suggestion is as follows.

A passive trait system that allows for further customization of your roleplaying fantasies. NOT attribute restricted!

Here is how I would envision this to work.

You start with a roleplay idea let’s say a righteous paladin. I then spend some plague ichor to unlock feats that help me realize my fantasy class such as:

  • X% extra Heat damage

  • X% increased Healing efficiency

  • X% increased armor when wearing Plate armor

Or a swashbuckler:

  • X% increased attack speed with curved one-handed swords.

  • Dodging whilst having a light load costs X% less stamina.

  • X% chance that enemies drop additional gold on death.

Perhaps a Frost Witch

  • Deal X% increased frost damage.

  • When wielding a Staff, rune specials cost X% less focus.

  • When wearing cloth armor gain X% increased focus regeneration.

The idea here is to have generic list passive bonuses that players for themselves can select to further their ‘‘class’’ idea.

Edit: @Jack_N_Ryder pointed out that there should be a cap to the obtainable traits so the element of choice still matters.

We could then categorize traits and once you select one the others become unselectable. Furthermore, a cap of X total traits.

Example: Elemental Affinity

  • Deal X% extra Heat damage

  • Deal X% extra Cold damage

  • Deal X% extra Electric damage

  • Deal X% extra Plague damage

Once you select one the others become unselect able.

While I 100% agree that the current reward for defeating a boss does not feel rewarding and it should be improved I alse want to mention that the system suggested by you has an issue: you will be able to unlock all of them because you can get unlimited plague ichor from what I saw.
So yes, please improve the rewards, but do not make it so that we could get all the possible bonuses, we should still be required to make a choice of what to get.

Maybe an ability to use a number of plague ichor to reroll an effect from an enchanted piece of gear?

Oh, good catch on that. Maybe some traits can be grouped like elemental bonus damage or reduced stamina cost for dodging when wearing x armor type. And once you select one the others become locked.

And if that isn’t enough a cap on total traits, 10 or something.

I agree with the idea that ichor should have multiple uses since its farmable currently. Others have also suggested to use it as a means to respec which I think is a solid idea.

I almost think the current Ichor system is just a placeholder in early access and later will have actual traits as rewards. Meanwhile, expanding inventory will probably be done via crafting…

I think…

I hope…
