A way to add special to weapons by hunting new items would be really cool.
Ultima: Lipelis has found a DEMON CORE!
and such as; Demon Core
Charge Core
Spirit Core
Berserk Core
Hell Core
etc
You could equip the weapon of your choice (without special obviously) and Use the item like any combiner.
- Equip a Yasminkov 9000M +10 - Use a Demon Core
- Demon Yasminkov 9000M +10 ✨
Another suggestion would be to alter Gallon's Shop code to implement that idea by trading / the Core + Weapon to obtain the Weapon with special.
When can I hunt ______?
- An All year round option is viable since a lot of spots from the classic Drop Table are redundants or even empty so it could be replaced.
Ultimate Death Gunner no item, Bulk no item...
Ultimate Yellowboze Crimson Assassin Heaven Punisher 1⁄190650 vs Bluefull Hildetorr Heaven Punisher 1⁄204
Ultimate Episode 2 Whitill Delsaber Secure Feet 1⁄4096 vs Yellowboze Mil Lily Secure Feet 1⁄2
etc
- Thoses cores as Exclusive event items works too, having them splitted in differents events through year could be interesting.
For examples; the Spirit Core included in Triforce Event, the Demon one included in Halloween or even during Summer Event for the sake of hunting Epsilon with a brand new Demon Yas9000!
Item Donation list
You may or may not know if you are new to Ultima that this feature is available with GMs for 10 Donation Tickets to add the special of your choice... Then thoses said combiners could give the opportunity to players to craft their weapons without having to rely on GM's availabilities. While still being available with GMs for the same amount of DT, the value of Special's Cores would be more affordable within the player economy (as always).
Finally, I have no preference between an All year round or Exclusive event items availability since both are interesting to my eyes but overall beside the technical challenge I don't see any cons to this concept but pros!
Thanks for reading
