another idea to remove gems but make orbs

[Lone]

well me and evilsomethingsomething have been having a big old chat in the general section and one of the random ideas that popped up was this

we currently have loads of gems dropping from everywhere and we have reduced the amount of orbs that drop, so why not counter both changes with a fix that sorts out both.

so if we had an npc that could upgrade stones to gems and then gems to orbs i think it would be really quite good, i have made a little example below (skipping the stone stage)

these numbers end up needed 1250Gem(u) to make 1 (L) orb so its not going to be an easy way for people to make orbs but it will be possible.

5 soulgem(U) can be traded for a soulgem.

then 5 soulgem can be traded for 1 soulgem(L)

then 10 SoulGem(L) can make 1 SoulOrb(U)

5 SoulOrb(U) to make 1 SoulOrb

10SoulOrb to make 1SoulOrb(L)

so thats a total of 1250SoulGem(U) to make 1 soulorb(L)


how does that sound?

I'm adding the Gem (L) to Orb(U) upgrade to the Gem/Orb NPC in ST maze I forgot to do it the first time when Jamie asked me to add gems But there already is an NPC in game that does this.

And I do agree about reducing the orbs that are dropping, but I'd rather get Jamie's feedback on it. I've asked him earlier he seems kosher on lowering them.

im not saying reduce orb drop rate any more, i only recieved 2 gems(u) off and oma load the other day which seemed a little light for such a tough boss :P

having fun though lol

(58 and 78% now so close to 60 ^^ also got a promise of heavenamour when i hit 60 )
