I think unless there is a good excuse not to, it would be very nice to be able
to change my boons with my tps to whatever I want once per boot
I don't think it would be abusable and would allow players with only 1 boon to
experience
playing with many more availible boons. I feel the gold tax for reallocation
is
too much

I was actually thinking something similar earlier this week and want to
semi-+0.5 this one. Notably, I think the free stat reallocation is _too nice_
and the boon reset cost is _too harsh_.

For example, in this reinc I have done probably 10+ stat set changes just
because it is free (and feels rather unrealistic), but I have only once or
twice spent significant cash to change my boons (most recently ~10m-ish when
the new boons came in).

My suggestion: 1/10 boon clear cost, add some token (e.g. 10 gold per stat
point?) cost to stat training reset.

Yeah.. have to agree with your thoughts. Sometimes it makes more sense to
reinc instead of reallocate boons... it's kind of crazy...

Changing boons every reboot seems very artificial, unrealistic and gives very
high flexibility to shuffle back and forth all kinds of choices making the
feel of the character very temporary. A lot of designed areas, monsters etc.
would be less special if you could prepare against them with an instant fix
granted by the boon structure. If you can't think of abuses that this would
allow, I'm sure a lot of people can. Tomorrow's eq mob shoots killing cloud ->
let's get full poison resistance, the day after tomorrow has lava storm ->
let's get fire resist, in three days my eq parties are over, let's take all
the damboons instead and exprate. As a personal opinion, there should not be a
need to reshuffle everything anyway on a daily basis.

Good points from Darol. How about if you can chance boons only once (to avoid
those abuse things that darol mentioned) or price could go higher every time
you chance boons. So the first chance could be like 50% of that price what is
atm, then second could be 75%, third as it now and fourth 125% or something
like that.


Stay smart. Get Ed

Darol you make some excellent points, which is exactly why a wizard who
has a complete understanding of the game, such as yourself, should be
the one to take a look at this issue. I think it's more the concept that
The current price to pay for TP re allocation is high. Can this be lowered?
