I suggest creating a new type of NPC's. The [Collector]s are collecting the various Ancient Coins (Copper/Silver/Golden). They are exchanging the coins for various items.

Here are some examples:

Copper:
5 Coins: Mithril Drill
10 Coins: Grade 1 Gem
20 Coins: Universal Talisman/Bindrune/Apotrope (Refines any grade items)

Silver:
5 Coins: Orihalcon Drill
25 Coins: Grade 2 Gem
100 Coins: Venurune

Gold:
5 Coins: Adamantinum Drill
50 Coins: Grade 3 Gem
200 Coins: Plutorune

(New)Platinum: (Boss only)
5 Coins: Aurum Drill
75 Coins: Grade 5 Gem
90 Coins: Plutorune
400 Coins: Nepturune
2000 Coins: Collector's Aurum Plate Mail (Example) - Slightly better than Reinforced/Brave/Union version. (Give us something that we have to work for, lol... :mellow:)





The addition of Collectors and Ancient Platinum Coins would encourage boss hunting and would give us players something to do!

If this happens to be implemented, I would also suggest that the collectors not just offer a few items, but a lot of different items to make the choice less "obvious". Not all of them has to be useful of course, there should also be some fun items too!

I like the idea, would take time to balance it correctly though, but looks good enough to me...

I remember in Lineage they offered something like this, and it was nice, but the npc only spawned randomly and in random dungeons so it made it hard to obtain items and not so frequent..

Well, they could spice it up a bit, by adding some items to the NPC that are only available during random times with limited edition! ;)

I liked the idea! But I just think the amount are too low... or, make coins drop rate lower... because its not hard to get 1 stack of those coins...
and about Platinium, would be great http://forums.warppo...tyle_emoticons/default/happy.gif would be a good reason for boss hunting

i like the idea but i think for the platnium 2000 coin prize you could get the ability to choose ONE of the IM armors/costumes/weapons so that ALL players could get the same expierence so that broke/un-employed/lazy/young people dont have to be envious of people with the Movement Speed IM gear alot of champs use.

Seeing that platinum coin would be the BOSS ONLY coin, broke/un-employed/lazy/young people could just sell the 2000 Ancient Platinum Coins for a large amount of money and buy the IM armor/costume/weapon they want from someone else.

Oh I like this, giving items more meaning than NPCable loot is always a good thing.

i would think that having Platnium Coins only dropable from bosses is abit strict since the only easy bosses are ones well below your lvl to the point where nothing drops. and i doubt taking on Kura 9000+ times(guess that reference, it shouldnt be hard) would be enjoyable.

I meant high level bosses, but meh. We need something that takes time and cannot be completed in 1-2 weeks.

I really like the idea and I think it could be extended even more. There are so many drops which have no use other than to sell the the merch. Gravity could take and put one collector in each zone collection something which drops there that is not used for anything else. Each collector could have level appropriate gear/consumables that would be a good alternative to the yellow gear available in town and the overpriced perfect gear sold. The gear would have to be balanced as to not be better than gear that can be crafted though because then we have the whole union equipment syndrome starting all over again.
