I think the best use for these cards would be for unique items that are relatively rare because they're only intended to be used for a few niche builds. The rarity on some of these is not because they're so incredibly powerful, but partially because there are only a limited number of people who will actually WANT them. Goddess Bound is a perfect example of this(though Charan is already doing that particular one).

The whole point of div cards is to allow you to specifically target a particular item that you want, so I think these types of items would make the best use of that feature.

Yep... this is similar to my request. Chance orbs are more generic though.

Yeah, but again, it seems to me the whole point of the cards is to NOT be generic or random. The point is to say "I want this one specific item and when I get the cards for it, I know I WILL get that exact item."

If I had to choose an item, I'd make on of these:
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Victario%27s_Acuity
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Berek%27s_Grip

Both are viable end-game items that are all but impossible to get in the leagues, and to an extent, build enablers (without being broken).

The problem with that is that different people have different needs. The needs of a trader are quite different than the needs of a self-found player.

Beginners have different goals than long-time players will.

When designing cards you have to take into account the entire player base, and not your personal needs.

A good card will become used. A good card should fulfill an need without destroying the fun in meeting that need. That's going to be really hard to do. Putting in a card for some ultra special item takes out a lot of the fun of the game. You really want to avoid the "midnight shard" effect... where players simply target a single area over and over and over because it's the only source for a sought after item. They had to completely modify areas of the game to deal with that problem.

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!

A stack of Alchemy or Chisel

A card that creates a mighty stone hammer when you deliver it to the vendor.

Have to urge caution on requesting stuff that's currently a long term goal. You really don't want to short-cut these as it's the long term goals in the game that make us want to play it year after year. Giving you an Empower 4 without the time/risk involve with trying to make one is going to ruin the value of them.

I hope that people see that is not the purpose of these cards.

What is the purpose of these cards then?
I thought cards were a way to purposefully target items in the game. Not so much a short-cut as a device to combat poor RNG.
I understand that Empower is a gem, not an item, but it's easy to go an entire league without dropping one. It's also very, very hard to get one to level 4 on your own. A card to target this would be welcome for many.

Please a fishing rod card XD
