If you want to give new players the option of dragons you can do the following:
Some kind of increased healing item hat, maybe carrots at 40-50% of the efficiency of the Pumpkins (from Janeway?).
Remove the class restriction on the unslotted fire armors.
Make some kind of unslotted Dragons Breath available somewhere (challenge dungeon?).
Could you introduce another affix to the dragon hats to make <item> heal for more while in Abyss Lake?
On second thought though, I'm not sure how good of an idea funneling people straight to Dragons from Janeway is. But it'd be nice to give them the option I suppose.
The item unbinding is interesting!
Thanks for finally putting the Gems on NPCs too, cool change!
