Subject: Shard Gathering
   Reposting this from the General forums:

Ok, as a tentative sign-off to this thread, I would like to present some ideas which I would like to use as starting points for further discussion with the devs. I will not limit my discussion to these points only, but I feel it would make a reasonable starting point.

With respect to these hypotheticals I would like to get your opinions in a pro/con format that I will illustrate below. Try to consider a con if you present a pro to ideas. We shouldn't be thinking about simply what makes things easier for the class, but how it could impact the game as a whole.

Book drop for drain soul:
Create a spell-book item that drops somwhere to allow a new level of drain soul which could render 2 or more shards (starting with 2 for simplicity)
Pros:

  • reduces time farming shards by at least half, as collection is doubled
  • focuses on alleviating raid preparation and 60+ players due to drop status and rank

Cons:

  • drop status and rank does nothing or little for lower level players
  • travel to farm locations unaddressed


Ghosts at various graveyards
Pros:

  • with a graveyard in every zone, farming for shards can happen closer to raid entrances
  • invisible creatures will be yellow, so as not to attack others, but can be seen with detect invis., adding more use to the spell

Cons:

  • possible aggro issues due to unforseen player interaction (AoEs or other things)
  • level limitations of creatures might have to be adjusted and re-adjusted

Comment on these or add others as you see fit, with the format provided.
Starin' you down, creepy jackalope eye...
