Challenge:
- There are many sets in the game that are either skipped or underutilised during a player's journey.
- Many with sets unique or interesting set-piece bonuses are no longer used, but would be used if the stat negative wasn't so huge.
- "Trade-offs vs reward" for using lower-tier sets doesn't exist - the scales are so far tipped that it's not a reasonable or realistic argument.
- Create copies of all sets below item level 60 to have item level 60 versions (I would suggest 60-65, but it gets very close to victorious/triumphant at that point). Critically, Bloodlord does not qualify.
- This only applies to armour sets - not trinkets or weapons.
- Perhaps add a suffix - reforged?
- Requires previous set TOK (and maybe the Invader TOK), and relevant low tier set piece to be traded in, plus appropriate tokens to receive upgraded version.
- I would suggest a token cost equal to invader for each set.
Rationale:
- Biggest beneficiaries would be for the T1 sets - it'd help fresh CR40 characters with that important extra mastery a little bit earlier
- Gives sets and classes new ways to play.
- Revitalises content - some sets, like Beastlord or Overlord would be very interesting and worth pursuing.
- Item level 60-65 so as not to replace the need or drive for pursuit of higher tier sets.
- Prevents skipping of sets and content as you will need TOK or pieces to trade in like SC weapons.
- Gives warcrests extended purpose, well past sovereign.
- Breaks up the ubiquity of sovereign/warlord/triumphant - more options makes for more variety.
- Won't invalidate future content - gives more drive to do low-tier content as rewards could be upgraded to be useful on high RR characters.
- More itemisation options = more ways to build = greater build diversity = more robust meta.
