We have about a million pokemon to outfit with weapons and shields and such. Which incentivises saving a load of collector trophy items with which to feed them. The current system is suboptimal for the following reasons:
- A dozen or more different types of trophies have to be managed, and consume enormous amount of inventory space.
- It's stressful remembering which trophies are worth anything. Putrid Cysts and Growths are worth something (thankfully, due to their quantity). Vampire Eyeballs and Werewolf Toes aren't. It's somewhat abhorrent to me that I know that Warden Horns can be traded for a +1 20% death focus - that could have been the name of a US President or something taking up space in my brain instead.
So a really, really nice thing would be consolidating them into a system something like Zaishen coins, to slash down the quantity of stuff needed to carry around.
I'll provide an example system to clarify:
Create a "Bounty Collector" npc for many outposts that will trade "Bounty Commendations" in return for the bodyparts.
If it takes 2 of an item to purchase another item, like Keen Oni Talons, it would reward 5 Copper Commendations each. Items that require five to trade in, like most of them do, would reward 2 Copper Commendations each.
10 Copper Commendations could be traded for a Silver Commendation, which in turn could be traded for any collector item in the game.
As the existing collectors have some amusing text bound to them, and there are hundreds of them, it wouldn't be very time wise to modify them directly. It'd be more prudent to add a group of new collectors that'd collect the Bounties. Such as a "Sword Bounty Commissioner" that would offer all the different kinds of collector swords for a Silver Commendation. While I'd kind of like them to each exist in an Endgame area, a more sensible area for sensible people would be in that cozy mostly empty area in the back of the Great Temple of Balthazar.
An additionally nice thing would be to have more of the common skins to pick from for a premium price, say multiple Silver Commendations or a fabled "Gold" or "Platinum" Commendation. A consolidated system allows this extravagance. Currently having a grotesque number of trophies, like say 250 Margonite Masks, isn't and couldn't be pseudo rewarded in the current system, but could in a consolidated one.
This isn't as convenient as a skin/weapon unlock system, but would be much nicer than what we deal with now.
