Hello, today I'd like to bring up the topic of high level hats in our beloved game. Something that's been absent since the game's start and which could be another small update that yields satisfying results if implemented properly.

Currently, the only usable non-apparel hats are limited to Ami characters, which is fine. The higher stats are not too game-breaking at higher levels and it is additional effort and investment that Ami players have to go through compared to other classes for a higher reward.
However, it would be good if other classes had hats available for use, at least in the higher levels. I wouldn't say anything like Amis currently have, but at least something along the lines of the generic "+1 all stats" Hats, similar to Death cap (Crown of Decedent) or the Water Break Helm (in ToP 2).

Instead of simply adding a hat such as that as a boss drop anywhere or adding it to mall, my idea involves the usage of a long-forgotten and useless item - Artemis Crownstone .
Currently, the crownstone is a "+2 to all stats" hat usable only by Amis, which makes no sense. The defense is too low, the stats are too low and it seems more fitting to be an all-class item, however I believe +2 stats might be a bit too much for a hat obtainable at relative ease.

My idea is then as follows:
  • Change Artemis Crownstone to be an all-class item
  • Reduce its stats to +1 all stats from +2
Additionally:
  • Make the crownstone exchangeable for Crown of Decedent through a special item of some sort (They would essentially be the same, except Death cap is mostly desired for its aesthetical value)
  • This item could be added to the Item Mall for a symbolic price
My arguments for this idea are fairly simple:
-Small expansion in the game's content and gear
-Small boost to stats; almost irrelevant but something people would still work for
-Making the only Skeletar/Naval boss (a sea boss while at it) which has no purpose of doing - purposeful
-Implementing an item which had been asked for numerous times (Crown of Decedent aka death cap) to the game through a more creative and effort-requiring, though still revenue-generating method than simply slapping it to the item mall

Thoughts?
 
bump, anything here? please don't give us hardin that is so lame
 
To be honest. Today we were discussing the possibility of making a tool to adjust existing game items in such a way, that they fit with changed items.
So if that is Cool. I guess we can even go with an original solution on Artemis crownstone.
 
I would agree is it was all +1 stat. But +3? Sorry. No.
Keep it +1 stats, +2/+3 is a bit too high (for now at least). Though it would still be nice if the +1 stat hat (in any form or shape - Artemis/Death cap/SWAG cap?) was implemented before Hardin.

We've already seen some good ideas here besides the original Artemis Crownstone upgrade solution. How about adding it to Abyss Lord - Tyran ? Abba boss with no useful drops other than the Melancholy would be a great idea as well.
The point is, there's no reason to keep this item out of the game for so long when there's a number of ways to implement it and when it has been asked for since lv75 became mainstream.
