This is NOT a thread asking for new epics, of themselves. It is an acknowledgement that, at some point, it is inevitable that there WILL be new epics, and a suggestion as to a unique way to handle them.

What I would suggest is that the new epics give extraordinary boosts to gain (+10, as a ballpark, but up for debate), but that they also be crystal, with very limited durability, (20/20, or 50/50, as a ballpark). This way, there would be a tradeoff between the gains and the fact that they would break, and would be lost once they did.

I think this would be a boost to the game economy (whether these things are by Titans, by RP items by invention, or whatever, everyone would benefit), would give EoC and/or donating players something to pour their FSPs into, and could spur on PvP as well by giving them an incentive to hit players wearing these items.

As follow-up suggestions, it might be a good idea to also have these items scattered across multiple levels -- i.e. one at level 80, one at level 300, one at 1200, etc. Also, it might be very interesting if the items were each part of a set; each individual item would give some gain boost, and the set bonus could be ANOTHER gain boost. This would further incentivize getting the items, and would also incentivize PvP-ers to hit people wearing these items.

Just food for thought. Please be gentle as you tear this idea apart.

Sounds very nice but I dont like the part of a set aspect but IMO there needs to be an epic all about gains, like +8 Stam Gain +15 XP Gain +1000 Gold Gain!

+1000 Gold Gain!

ACK! No more new gold please

As to the original suggestion:

I like the idea other than the low durability, shouldn't be crazy 100 seems fine and with each decrease in durability the gain is reduced so if its at 90% durability you get 90% stats from it
