A way to breath life into Doom after Sept 2013.
Add those yellow crystals to the drop list. Still have to kill it and the RNG decides if you even get a Garb. Other crystals would be the trapped type. Ohhh lets seee, Dread Warhorse trapped in a crystal. Dread Swampy and even a greater dragon with the WW colors. Still add the will of the RNG for getting a pet spawning with great stats. The ability to gather a pack of crystal released Dark Wolves they wouldn't lets us keep from the dread warhorse days. Even a nightsight mod removal crystal has worth. Higher Durability removal crystal. The mod showing on a shield like lower requirement on weapons is just another form of neg mod.
Add to the Doom drop list RNGed gear with a single reforged mod clean of neg mods. The RNG reforged gear would be titled like "Doom Plate Gorget" so they would be reconized as an arty for turn in value. The RNG could also decide between 450, 500 or rare chance 550 imbue point cap. GM ID Item/GM Tink skill needed to unlock item of better then 450 cap. Could also have an unlock for the Doom Gear having a chance ability to auto save at enhancing. This Unlock would be a sort of Juka Lord bow mod ability.
Water out the Doom drop list of possiblities some more. Add in current artifacts as a drop that are brittle/replica that can be imbued and enhanced. Take other arty from other areas of the game that drop as brittle/replica that can be imbued and enhanced. Theese none standard Doom arty could be rotated in keep the drop list fresh. Beside brittle/replica could have the return of the cursed artifacts. Just theese cursed artifact drops will have Doomed instead of Curse in the description. That way a player will know it can be imbued and enhance type of arty.
Dooms drops list can be stretched out even further by some Doom unique deco drops. How about a Pack Horse/Llama deed that is a house container. Has the looks and motion/sound but is really just a fancy container. Another fancy container deed run would be carts and wagons that those wodden steeds could be placed in front of. Not sure if the wooden steed would need a facing art update. Can you say gypsy wagon? One square soulforge deed that's on the fritz. Random times for few minutes starts spewing out sparks doing area damage and working just like the queens forge, but higher.
Long enough list would make a Silver Steed locked in a crystal stay a rare list. Silver Steed nothing more then a renamed Dread Warhorse withe chance at one the 3 shades of white. Long enough list that even the most dedicated grinders would never get bored with. Just what would rare drop of a Doom Leather Mempo with 150 Luck and 550 cap would go for?
List would be long enough to safely have an enhancing tool drop.
Break the grind in the Doom Loop rooms with random boss replacement for the spawn there. Would keep the group from getting to standard doing the laps. Chance for Proxy, Grizzled, Medusa or Xodus taking time for a surprise appearance in a Doom room. 10 Giant Mutant Turkeys would stir things up. Chance loot of a Harvester Blade when they show. Blade is so usefull and rare you never see players selling them. Even could Mirror Doom Dungeon & Loop in fel.
