My solution would be 'artifact fragments' that you could win a few of in Spires, Tournaments, events and Adventures - perhaps one for each waypoint that your group finishes, to make Adventures more popular?
hen when you had collected let's say 100 of them...you could forge an Artifact for any building that you wanted.
The current spire is set to give about 5.5 over 6 weeks.
Completing the entire spire all the way up grants 63 points in that purple thermometer.
Seems like it would be pretty simple to give 1 Artifact Fragment per point.
- 30% fewer Artifacts, but
- Guaranteed "if you do this, you get that"
- A reward that literally everyone wants
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The current FA gives 2 artifacts.
The FA has 54 regular spots, 18 tri-color spots, plus 3 starting flags.
5 points per tri-color
2 points per regular spot
1 point per flag
Gives you 201 Artifact Fragments
- Doing just one path each stage would give 67 AF which is a lower reward, but
- There would actually be a reason to do more than 1 path!
----------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure about tournaments, but giving them out at the same rate as RR spells in the chests seems like a reasonable place to start.
Also you could break up old Artifacts that you don't intend to use to make artifact fragments - to declutter your inventory.
Breaking 1 Artifact should yield 10 AF. That would basically mean that if you don't like the evolving building from an event you could complete the event and smash all of the artifacts to get 1 universal artifact for a building you do like.
Totally reasonable.
