I REALLY appreciate the rings/bracelet/belt that the staff has given to us players who have stuck by them during bad times, but there should really be permanent alternatives for new players.
I'm sure newer players would even be happy with any sort of IM items that are much weaker than appreciation items just so they can optimize their set ups. They should be sold in the IM shop so anyone can access them plus the game can have some good IM "staples" in the shop (up to the staff to make them sell-able in market)
Here are some examples if the idea is entertained at all
Ring

5% max mp

Attack speed +2.5%

Final Critical Success rate .2%
Belt
Movement speed +1.5%
final critical success rate + .25%
Bracelet

Critical damage + 2%
Set effect of Brace and belt
attack speed + 2.5%
movement speed +2.5%
Final critical success rate .25%
Critical damage +.5%
The rings are weaker than Fellowship rings but stronger or equal to the good luck rings, they are a good filler for new/returning players,they do not devalue fellowship rings and people can still look forward to I Like Rings if they ever come back
The belt and brace are just half as good as the appreciation counterparts which i think is fair
I own all the appreciation items and I agree that they should remain the best, but there really needs to permanent items to fill in some slots in my opinion
