Lucid Dreams (Idea)

[goldenrage]

This is my suggestion for a Lucid Dream item. The Lucid Dream would be a semi-rare item that is harvested from a dream catcher instead of "A Beautiful Dream". The item may have a few in-game purposes but when I first thought of it I thought of it as a low to mid level curiosity. There may be a few downsides to this though such as if the base LP would be made too high then people may make tons of dream catchers just to farm it and get a fair amount of LP for the low requirements it takes to make a dream catcher, on the contrary if it was too low then people may be completely dis-interested the item and just disregard it as useless. I would also like to know what you like and/or dislike about the idea and any changes that you would think suits it better or if you don't like at all then why?.

"Rare find" curiosities only make sense in an area where you're doing a menial task over and over again. Spindly Taproot makes sense as a bonus for people who do a lot of building. Weird Beetroot is a bonus for people who do a lot of farming.

The problem is that harvesting dreams isn't really a task that anyone constantly does while playing the game, so putting a rare curiosity there makes no sense and the only use it would see would be through botting.

EDIT: Also it would be possible to create a large enough farm of dreamcatchers that a bot could endlessly loop through them, harvesting infinite "lucid dreams" in a pretty timely manner.

Yeah that is a fair point to make I didn't really think about when I said about it being a curiosity.

I like the idea of more "mythical/spiritual" based items, maybe used as potions or buff or something, but the particular action of harvesting dreams doesn't really lend itself well to this idea.

Yes I would agree dreams don't link well with things like that maybe I will think about things like that a bit more and make another suggestion

Having quality dreams being almost an industry could be an interesting thing. They're already in a bunch of curios. Just need them to be more interesting. Right now it's just build dream catcher, wait, collect, wait, collect...

Just as a side note, lucid dreams aren't mythical or spiritual, they do exist and I know bybexperiencing them you can now continue debating, sorry for the small derail :3

Speak for yourself about not harvesting dreams in quantity.

am I really the first person to catch that?

I sort of like the idea, and like 7 said people do harvest dreams in bulk at times, not just for curios, but also for CR's. its why you see some places that have a little plot of 10X10 all dream catchers...

I was wondering about it too, but I didn't want 3 pages of cobaltjones posts by calling him out on something so small.
