Those of you who have entered a shadow lair should know about a the swarm. If not, there is a wiki page about it.

My suggestion would be, To have items that can only be crafted from 5* items that are "Swarm Infected" items. For example, there are snarbolax coats but there isn't a Rabid Snarbolax coat. It takes a Snarbolax coat, a vog cub coat and various materials to make, and it would be an green Snarbolax coat with a dark aura seeping from it and gives a lot of shadow defense, a lot of elemental defense and some normal defense?

There could be a Romulus Suit Swarm Suit made from Mercurial Demo Suit and Heavenly Iron Suit and so on.

I'm not going to list all the possibilities but these would be really powerful armors and should only be rewarded to those who have beaten shadow lairs.

I don't know if the core is being worked on or if it will open and there will be missions in it, but these armor sets could be rewarded only to those who have beaten it and collected Void shards or something that can only be collected from the core or possibly shadow lairs.

So you're suggesting a Divine Mantle + Normal defense as well as potentially a Sword Damage boost? Extremely OP if you ask me.

Unless core opens

This function does not compute....

To take a method from a fellow forumite

Creativity: 4/10
Mechanical applicability: 5/10
Profits OOO: 2/10 (Would cause people to start quitting and all that. Guarantee it)

Besides, shadow snarbolax, mercurial demo, and a few more armors only craftable by going through shadow lairs.

So... if you want more OP items... ask for another expansion P2P only and play it before they patch balance into it. :P

If someone wants to copy it, use the whole rubric. Also, if someone is going to use it, it is mandatory to give a thorough analysis of the whole concept and all of its explicit and implicit ideas. Keep in mind the rubric is not based on personal biases but on the five issues addressed.

This applies to all users though only veteran members of this forum should grade other ideas as they are competent in what needs to be addressed.

This thread does not deserve to be graded. Interpret this as ye wish, but I will make my own thoughts clear: this thread suggests taking the advantages of multiple different items and combining them while retaining the same rank. The only way this would be even considered is if T4+ were created.
