Reworked Trait System

[yo72]

Try crafting lv 80 stuff like that. Getting those materials aren't that easy.

You can mine anything below black veins easily also the fact that lv 80 uses dex/emerald which people mine because mithril is needed for ht, gold is mined for android hearts, and aquamarine/diamonds are mined for superior crystals.

If my items came with 100% chance of potential, I would spend all my time happily gathering the needed materials. You seem to be missing the point. Regardless of how hard it is to obtain the required materials, this system would break Nexon's gameplan to suck money from its players. Actually with 100% potential chance, I would be fine crafting 2nd tier gear to then sell and buy 3rd tier gear. Hell, you could even go fuse TONS of Empress gears. They are 100m a piece in Khaini (not capes or weapons obv) and you could just keep fusing them to get insane stats and tons of money.

Edit: Currently I get around a 25% chance of receiving an item with hidden potential after I craft it. I couldn't imagine how crazy it would be if every single item I fused or crafted had potential.

Well, I wasn't counting fusing, but yeah, you make quite a good point. Imagining the bigger impact, I just can't imagine a SINGLE unpotentialed item out there that way.

While I do see your point, I can't say that I completely agree with it.

I find myself completely turned off to buying cubes for anything that isn't hard to come by (level 110+) or at least Epic already. While some people, like you, would be willing to fuse a crap-ton of Empress equipment to get good potential, there are plenty out there like me who don't even feel that getting a single Empress equip is within reach. I feel that having a guaranteed chance of being able to craft an item with potential would just increase the chances of finding one with a reasonable rank of potential, and thus it would be much more appealing to spend money on trying to make it even better.

Besides getting Epic and Unique Empress items from fusing isn't exactly within the budget range of those who don't purchase NX to begin with anyway, and most people who are trying to go for endgame equipment would want Empress equips, or at least level 110, and those need recipes that can't be obtained very quickly.

Time really shouldn't matter when discussing this concept. My whole point is this system would never work because it would significantly decrease Nexon's revenue stream and would make non-potentialed items more obsolete than they currently are. Although I may have more funding than some, I do not buy nx often, but through merching, selling event items, and getting lucky with scrolls (through the current diligence system) I find it is not that difficult to gather some funds. Obviously this system would give everyone a higher chance of receiving a good potential rank on items because at max diligence level, every single item would come with potential.

It would be nice to have this system, but it is too unrealistic.
