I really like the second idea as it could make those "Find 20 glowies in this big open wide area" missions a bit more bearable (yes I'm looking at you Unai Kemen)! |

1. At the end of a mission, offer the chance to roll for a temp power recipe. This way they can still be plentiful, but also for players who want them. 2. Have crates within missions with temp power recipes in them. This could potentially reward players for going off the beaten path of a mission. 3. Add a temp power recipe roll to shops, accessible only once every hour to once every day. Perhaps also having different roll categories, such as damage, buffs, and heals, so you can roll based on your build's needs. |
Not too sure about the other two however.
- Im Not Talking Fast, You're Just Listening Slow.
- To Each His Own
While I do like #2, it's not very feasible. There's no way to automatically seed them into existing missions (at least as far as I'd know), so they'd have to be placed manually. Doubly so due to the semi-randomized nature of mission maps - there's no "off the beaten path" when maps aren't static.
And either way, it'd make more sense to reward already-made temp powers instead of recipes in that context.
Never surrender! Never give up!

Another alternative I'd like to present, possibly less feasible, would be to put invention temp powers and costume piece recipes in a special category of recipes that does not take up space in the normal invention recipes tab.
Almost like how the Lost Cure Wand does this... Okay, maybe that's a bad simile, but the point stands.
