Degrading Cores

[cronic21]

i think the crafting community could use these a lot. a degrading core etc. something that can decrease the + of an item. u always get about 5 +1-+3 items, compared to 1 +0 item, and only +0 can be used to craft.

i would say make them drop a lil more often than normal cores, but not from bosses..., just normal mobs. these should be cheap and plentiful items.

any crafters agree?

We should totally have these. And make the success/fail rate the same as upgrade cores too.

With my luck, I would use a degrade core, fail, and my item's + would go up :>

Succeed, -1. Regular fail, +/-0. Rare fail, +2/3.

Take a risk! Plus +2/3 your gears with ease! <_<

for degrading it should be 100% success, never add + lol

Only if we make upgrading 100% success!

doesn't the regular core act like that already? lol, from +7 to +0 hehe

And I totally posted this suggestion almost 2 years ago!

but I still agree.

cant go under +2 with upgrading cores, but they work great to go from +9 to +2 (even when using enhanced at +9)

[Valdoroth]

if it fails, it simply is +0. Degradation cores shouldn't be as common as normal cores. I would say about as common as actually getting the +0 slotted items for crafting (you know that more than half of what you get these days is +1 or higher)

This would be a great help to everyone. Crafters will have more materials available to them, and non-crafters will have more alz at their disposal.

Granted, this coming episode is changing the craft system. If the materials are no longer required to be +0, then the Degradation Core would be unnecessary.
