[ Suggestion ] Instead of buffing leveling Uniques, have more Fated Versions

1 - The Navali way; ( Recommended and very PoE like IMHO)

Having a separate prophecy for every single one would mess up the prophecy pool, so I wouldn't recommend that. However, if every time you complete a prophecy there's a small chance for Navali to sell / reward you with Navali's Blessing, that would achieve 2 goals -> Make prophecies a lot more interesting + get to use your blessing on the fated unique YOU want.

2 - The leveling way; (mass / casual appeal)

So if a unique drops at level 10, let's say if you drop it again and its item level is 40+, 50+ (GGG can arrange that level accordingly), you automatically drop the upgraded version of the unique. ( This is the way it works in Grim Dawn for example ). That also somewhat solves the problems with mapping and dropping dozens of useless Uniques that you vendor for alch shards / use for the occasional Navali 5:1 prophecy.

1. No. I hate every goddamn prohpecy like "go buy this useless unique, go back to Act 2 and kill this boss". I would like to remove all "fated" all items

2. No. It stinks like those "ancient primal super duper uber pr0 elo elo legendary items in Diablo 3

So instead of just getting a useful leveling item to drop while leveling, we instead get the same old trash but have the option of upgrading it? Why jump through the extra hoop? I want to level as fast as possible, I never do prophecies until a5 merc. Basically your method would be ignored by most people until the second character and even then I'm guessing people would just use what they have or trade for what they need.

But if the item was just upgraded to a better leveling item to begin with then you wouldn't have to worry about what level it dropped. If an item is good for leveling people are gonna want one if it's not then it's vendor trash.

I really don't understand how either of your ideas are better then just making leveling uniques better. Your suggestions greatly or completely reduce the chance of finding something useful on your first character for that league. Which is the most import character because after that you have the funds to trade for a few leveling uniques.
