Suggestion:
Revamping Essence

Detailed description:
The Essence system currently has limited long-term value, as most players eventually max out their sets and are left with no meaningful use for the currency. I propose implementing a rotating Essence Shop, similar to the existing Mobcoin Shop. This shop would allow players to spend Essence on valuable items such as Gunslinger, Xmas, Elderflame, Reaper, Divine, and Winter crates, giving Essence a new purpose beyond just upgrading sets.



The shop would include:



  • Permanent stock: Utility items like basic books, , Special Sets(Gunslinger, Xmas, Elderflame and Winter crates) and keys (ssnal for alot,unique godly) .
  • Rotating stock (overpriced): High-tier crates, rare items, Rank vounchers, Gkit vounchers,Command vounchers(invsee,fix all) and Special tags,Gkit containers), Special kill scrolls, Class refresher.


To prevent economy imbalance, I can assist the team with pricing suggestions, as I understand the current Essence grind and how much players can realistically earn.



Additionally, making Essence withdrawable (like money or xpbottles) would allow players to trade it, boosting player-to-player interaction and creating a secondary Essence economy.

Reason(s):
Currently, once players max out their sets, Essence becomes an almost useless currency, especially for high-tier players who no longer need to grind. This suggestion gives long-term value to Essence and encourages both new and old players to consistently grind for it.



It adds an alternate progression path separate from money and Auction House flipping. Rather than letting Essence sit unused, this system motivates players to PvP, and kit grinding by tying Essence to a desirable and evolving shop. It also helps bridge the gap between rich and new players by giving everyone a fair chance at powerful items through grinding rather than relying solely on ah prices.

Example(s):
Let’s say I farm 500k Essence.



Current system: I can buy books, but I have no sets available to max out with essence and no money, I can't do anything except sell the books. Put them up on ah? Not worth it — the market is flooded with other sellers, and I'm undercut by rich players.



With Essence Shop: I can spend my Essence on a Special set crate, Max them out and go out and PvP. This makes the grind rewarding, gives me PvP access, and makes me want to grind even more. Now Essence has real value, and the economy is more dynamic.



Making Essence withdrawable also lets me trade it directly, creating more market activity and player interactions.

+1 implementing an essence shop that rotates weekly/daily, sounds pretty good idea. Making essence farming more meaningful throughout the season.
Though, im not sure whether it is a good idea to add EVERY special sets on the rotation shop, maybe adding the old ones like divine/reaper and angel but definitely not gunslinger, winter, elderflame, etc. since buying classes would lose its purpose.

+1, But i would like to make some changes. Don't add the good sets to buy from the shop add the sets like crusher,reaper and divine sets etc.
Second I would like to NOT buy gkits from essence shop. This would mess up the economy. What you can do about the ranks is add temporary ranks. Like you can buy Ultimate rank for 10 days for 25,000 essence.
