Was thinking of this with a friend of mine who said he'd like do decorate his guild hall, but getting the goodies is kinda pricey. I thought it'd be an interesting idea if you could find furniture from breaking junk placed around the clockworks?
Take Candlestick Keeps for example, I'm sure everyone has found those stacks of dusty books lying here and there and usually people bypassing them thinking they're usually just 1 crown or none at all; basically nothing to care about too much. Maybe people would be enticed to break stuff if those same books could contain furniture, such as a "Dusty Pile of Books" or maybe one of those chair stools could contain a "Dusty Purple Cushion".
Moving over to something like Wolver Dens, maybe those bushes and leaves could contain "Crab Grass" or "Green Leaves". You could think bigger and have something far more rare, such a themed "Grass Snipe" hidden in them as well. Clockwork paths could have something inside those hundreds of crates blocking our paths, such as "Gremlin Toolkits" or those occasional appearing bolt buckets contain scrapped construct parts such as, "Retrode Bulbs" or "Mechaknight Buckler".
These are just a few examples, they'd of course have a low drop rate (1% or so) which encourages you keep hunting for the more rare furniture like the Snipe. I could even go far as to think you could use some of the furniture as crafting (multiple Retrode parts = friendly Retrode?).
What would you guys think of this?
I'd like to provide artwork, but I've no skizzles in drawing, especially not on a computer haha.
