Hi Elysians.
So following up on the most recent and very successful "Patch Notes #92" I originally had alot more planned for the use of crystal seeds, shards and keys.
In saying that I've compiled a little expansion pack which I wanted the community's opinion on...
Enhanced Crystal Key (ECK):
This item was released to OSRS sometime in Mid 2019, and was a HUGE success. So why not have it here?
Essentially players will collect Crystal Shards via current means (slayer, bossing, skilling). Once players use 10 Crystal shards + 1 crystal key together, players with (90 crafting & 90 Smithing) are able to craft an "ECK".
Once crafted the "ECK" will become untradable, This is to combat any unfair bias towards brand new accounts.
Elven Crystal Chest (ECC):
Along with the release of the "ECK" in 2019; OSRS players were also treated to the "ECC" an upgraded version of the Crystal Chest, which boasts plenty of new rewards! Namely Dragonstone Armour peices, Crystal shards (in large quantities) and a new farming item... the Crystal Acorn!
I invisioned this chest to take residence at Llyeta, (elven city outside Priff) until/if we ever get Priffdinnas.
Only players who have met the requirement to craft ECK's aswell as (completed a hopeful sub quest I am writing) will be able to open these chests.
Steel Key Chain:
This item would be obtained by players as a reward for the achievement diary task
Ultimatley this will allow players to store Regular crystal keys in bulk quanities within 1 Inventory slot instead of several.
The Key chain has been pitched to development team who all see a great benefit of it being added, however due to the nature of this item it would be very costly to obtain and upgrade.
Players will see a non upgraded key chain to hold up to 15 keys, however if the player decides to upgrade it such figures may apply:
*all figure below are subject to change*
- Key chain (Normal) - 15 Slots. [Obtained by Achievement reward.]
- Key chain (Tier 1) - 30 Slots. [Requires "100 keys" to upgrade.]
- Key chain (Tier 2) - 45 Slots. [Requires "250 keys" to upgrade.]
- Key Chain (Tier 3) - 60 Slots. [Requires "500 keys" to upgrade.]
- Key Chain (Tier 4) - 75 Slots. [Requires "1000 keys" to upgrade.]
If you support this suggestion / have anything further to add please do so below!
Thanks,
Jake.
