As part of looking into ways to improve the enjoyment of the game for all levels of player, we began looking into the quality of loot that drops from Named Mobs of all tiers. And we devised a system by which Named Mobs (including Epics) would drop a new tiered type of Soul Shard.

These Soul Shards could be traded or sold between players and then eventually traded at a new type of NPC Vendor for special unique items. It is these items that we wanted to get your opinions of.

So, the question is what types of items would you like to see on these vendors? And, if you like the idea of this system at all.

- Rare Weapons
- Old Dragon Techniques (Dismissal, Eminence, etc)
- Ambrosia (Items, not formulas)
- New Spells
- New Techniques
- Old Event Items (Staff of Ribeth, Thurin Hatchet, etc)



Q. Would this replace existing epic loot on mobs such as Valkor and Reklar?
A. Yes, it would. Valkor and Reklar parts would then be sold by the Vendors.

Q. What sort of new spells or techniques?
A. Tier 6 Spells, Dragon Gift Spells, Enhance Tradeskills, Rare Kicker Techniques, Shock of Ice/Fire/etc, Cleanse greater than Tier 3, etc.

Q. Would items purchased from the vendor be tradeable?
A. No, all items purchased from the vendor using Soul Shards would be attuned automatically.

Q. Will old Soul Fragments work?
A. No, these vendors will use a new tiered type of Soul Shard.

Q. Will more items be added over time?
A. Yes, they will.

Q. How rare will the Soul Shards be?
A. Rare, but not impossibly rare. The odds of getting a Soul Shard from a Named Mob will be greater on the more difficult of the Named Mobs.
