Wait couldnt the dusts also become like a form of currency almost then and ppl might trade you a sword for 40 rank 6 dusts so they can get more evasion on an item for example


I never really thought about it that much but i think your right it could be a form of currency too

interesting idea although I think the amount you get from items would need some work. I could see lots of people grabbing up the lowest items and converting a ton of them to dust.


See but thats the beauty of it. If you farmed low level magic items you would get low rank dusts and therefore low bonuses (+10 accuracy)

But if you just played normally and got your level 40 Act 3 magic items you would get rank 4 dust (+40 accuracy) so its more valueable.

Nice thought. It does sounds interesting, hopefully the devs will take note, maybe see if it would work.
All hail the timer!
me gusta. there has to be some kind of benefit for junk items if you cant vendor them for gold, and also it adds a sorely missing crafting element to the game.

being able to horde and breakdown useless junk is fun

If you watch some of the streams that people have posted, the useless junk items can be traded to vendors for currency items (scrolls of wisdom/town portal) but they havent activated that feature in the beta yet.
There are also currency items that can turn white/common items into a random magical or rare item of the same type. I havent seen anybody use one of them though
Vendors are currently not enabled fully, but when they are they will let you sell your junk items for currency items.
Yes good sir, I enjoy slaying mythical creatures.
I hope these can stack in my inventory, i hate when i get too cluttered. This system sounds great though! More complex systems and variety in the game! :-D

Still, vendor the whites, harvest the magic from the rares

reasonable point but this system is 2 dimensional, more fulfilling, adds a small crafting/augmentation system that doesnt remove you from action and currency form. So hopefully this can be substituted

This type of idea lends itself more to games which have a crafting system. I'm all for adding some type of ability to break down items, but have we had confirmation that PoE wont have crafting of any sort?
