Seeking Suggestions - Divination Cards

A few nice ones:
- Items with 4 linked white sockets (would be corrupted, but nice for leveling)
- rare items with +3 gems, but random other 4 affixes (nice +3 without being too op)
- Rare items with master mods, but no free slots
- Corrupted armour with high stats, but with only one white socket
- Rare items that have better stats that some very commonly used uniques.


Also, it is better to have bigger stacks of cards needed to obtain the item. This leads to lesser rarity and more incomplete stacks in stashes... which leads to more stash tabs being bought.

1) +3 gems... no. Just no. So broken it's not even funny. +3 boots with NO other mods (and say, corrupted so it can't be changed) would be BiS for Arc. Or BiS for cursers. Or several other people. Remember, Empower/Enhance would be like "lololololololol"... Lvl 30 Arc... Jesus...

2) You can still socket/link corrupted items with master bench.

Name : Aces of Faces
Location : Can only be dropped by Exiles
Reward : Le Heup of All
Full deck number : 19/19

every exile would have like 5% chance to drop this card. So in average 380 exiles in total have to be slained to get a full deck.

It couldn't be farmed, but every time you encounter an exile, you hope this card would drop.
Low drop chance is a must, because an average player encounter like 100+ exiles during just leveling, and server shouldn't be flooded with this. But it would be easily tradeable stuff, as everyne encounters exiles, everyone will have one.
Also everyone can make use of this ring. If you're clever at trading, its not hard to gather 19/19.

With +3 gems, I meant the combination of existing mods we already have. So it would only be +3 to fire/cold/lightning/melee/bow/minion gems and you could only get them on bows, melee weapons and helmets, like now. So it would just be like a rare bow with like Fletcher's + Sharpshooter's + 4 other random affixes.

Yes, you can change sockets with of corrupted items with vaal orbs, but it is an expensive way to get high links/sockets. It would propably be cheaper to get a nice rare armour than link up that corrupted one.

An armour with good stats might just be something that has + armour, + % armour, life and a bit of res. A good armour for def, but definately not BiS.

I'd go for one of each currency except a mirror and try to get GGG to call it Smorgasbord.

Maybe something that helps or guides the leveling/ progression of characters?
It would be more common and optional way of progressing with gear.

Do it the normal way, or specifically take more time farming certain areas as you progress to collect your cards. Than when you reach level X
You got something like a 4/ 6 socket rare/ magic item (unlinked) with a guaranteed high live roll + resists (for that level and if possible?), everything else would have to come from the orbs they gathered to that point (regal, fusings, exalts, chromes etc.)

Above all else it should be a journey you design a road to achieve something and get results, I think that would be most satisfying, else the experience would not differ much from random items dropping. SO I think what you would like to do is where does one start, what will they do, what will they get and where will they go from there. Trying to answer these questions for yourself, might help you coming up with an idea.

20% quality flasks.

Is it really that hard to obtain a 20 quality flask? I could understand specific affixes being added, but even then I'm mixed.

Part of my dilemma is how common or rare do you want the cards. If the cards aren't that common, even when holding lower value items, then it might just be laughed at or a disappointment to receive.

Sure, if you're already level 70 or whatever, you're going to probably have taken the time to get your flasks right, and getting a divination card that gives you a 20% quality flask wouldn't be exciting - I get that. But for a player with a level 20-60 character who is taking a leisurely stroll through Wraeclast, getting this kind of divination card would be advantageous... and it wouldn't have to be so rare that you'd never see it.

When a new player is leveling, sometimes progression doesn't go super-fast. For these kinds of players, getting a (much) better flask would be a nice part of the leveling experience. Good affixes would be a nice plus (e.g., extra charges or increased charge recovery.)

My two ideas are:

The Witch's Cauldron - Random Unique Flask

Colosseum of the Blind - Random Unidentified Corrupted Map


I especially like the second one because running unidentified yellow maps is exciting and running a corrupted one could be even more exciting.

Not a super unique idea, but I think picking whatever your favorite boss and have it drop a build enabler would be make happy exiles. Example being, Oversoul Vaal dropping a "Bringer or Rain" card.

My idea:

----------------

Card name: Queen of the Vaal

Quantity: 1/10

Reward: Random Atziri Item

----------------

Turning in 10 cards will give you one of Atziri's items:

Atziri's Promise
Atziri's Step
Atziri's Acuity
Atziri's Splendour
Atziri's Disfavour
Atziri's Mirror
Atziri's Foible
Vaults of Atziri

Cards will drop in any corrupted area
