Reaper and mythic on saltmarch items

[Kza]

Have any heard if ssg plan on Making it possible to add reaper and mythic bonuses
To legendary salt gear? Found a fun set but it will be no ”top potential” WO that kind
Of bonuses.

Shall i go back to drawingboard or is it time to start farm because added mythic/reaper is planned?

I have only heard/read players hypothesizing about a way to add mythic/reaper bonuses to Legendary Saltmarsh gear on this forum. Its been said enough, speculated enough, that people are starting to chat like the devs promised it somewhere but I've never seen a dev even comment on it.

To be fair though, I cannot get Discord to work with my computer, and there appears to be a lot more dev communication over on Discord. Perhaps something was said there by a dev?

Yes, exactly this is why i asked. I havent discord either so maybe some Had been Said there? Or not?

Probably not, better think out some other set so the potential is there :-)

I thought there was talk on discord about the possibility of adding bonuses with threads and other mats.

I know there are some people that won't run without a reaper ability bonus or x amount of bonuses on their gear so it would be a shame if this point isn't addressed and some of the new gear is unused solely for that reason.

Exactly. My old farmed set is maybe crappier than what i thought of. Maybe. But with no bonuses on those 5 piecec its a loss. Cant come around it.

After all these years being able to craft a reaper stat hat would be incredible. Even if it's expensive and only on a limited set of gear, that would be so good for alts etc!

Some how I don't think thats is onthe agenda, probably similar how we can put back mythical to WPM weapons when we upgraded.(looking at you blackrazer)

They mentioned in the lam preview that they are considering a way to add mythic bonuses to the crafted loot from Update 50.
As far as I know nothing said about reaper.
It made most of the items from update 50 useless to me.
Not complaining though, Now I don't have to farm new sets of gear for my characters.

it is not just saltmarsh items. Red Fens, for example, can be epified but not mythic or reaper. and others. And in those quests you do not get nice gear for sentient food.

You could read this at the point "What about Mythic Bonuses?"
This tells us the developers are well aware of the problem and apparently they plan to fix it but I think they don't think it consequently through...
In my opinion, there should be also a way to add reaper boosts to such items for exactly the same reason as there should be a way to add mythic bonuses.
But I think even further, I want for DDO a modular item system where you can combine items with effects from all sources in a unified crafting system and one part of this system would be a generic way to add mythic and reaper boosts to ANY item.
In my opinion, DDO needs random, named, and crafted compatible to each other and equivalent.

I had asked if the saltmarsh way of getting base items then having to upgrade them to 20 and again to 30 was going to be the new way going forward, and devs said that they made saltmarsh that way to coincide with the s/s/s system that was in the same update.

I think they should've been totally different things, as shown by people wanting reaper/mythic, and their quick addition of sentient xp gems once people also pointed out the system would kill that.

I don't think "because other stuff does it" is a good reason to use an outdated and worse loot system. The only reason it works for s/s/s is because it's taking a REALLY old and bad system and turning it into usable gear. Old s/s/s quests ALREADY didn't drop anything but base items so there was no lack of mythic/reaper/sentient xp.

I just don't *get it*. Technically.

Can some dev jump in and explain if this is a technical limitation ? Because if it's a game decision, that seems bizarre.

Technically though, you *know* the item coming in. And you *know* if it has optional attributes.

You are spawning an item. You spawn items all the time. Just put those same optional attributes on it. This explanation of "the original item is destroyed, and the new item is created, so it doesn't have optional attributes" - sounds like nonsense.

Feel free to get as technical as you want, because on it's face it makes zero sense.


If it's a game decision ... why would you do this?


*** I guess the worry is you can farm level 3 items easier than level 30 items??? That's on you for making the system this way?

[Kza]

Yes, if it is possible to do it, it is so strange they skip it? Like the items in the newest update is not at same strength level as older items. I really dont get it either.
