    Since the beginning of the game, we've discussed how the BEST items were always player made. But then the Ornates and Artifacts started coming in. Personally I felt this was the opposite of what is advertised. Looking at prices in game, this is the perception by others as well for many items.

    Perhaps we can rethink this a bit. Using COTO's as part of a recipe to create at least some of these items.

    We still have Ornates and Artifacts, and the good stuff is player made. Plus it keeps Port in business.

    And yes, I know about the recent uncommon, common, rare recipe changes to artifacts. I'm hoping to find a better way to weave COTO's into the game and perhaps resolve some perception issues.

    Comments? Thoughts? Or just a dumb idea?

    That's pay-to-win, so no it won't fly.

    Artifacts can be enchanted, so it still takes player skill to optimize them and now they are reagents for more powerful items, so I'm satisfied with the system as is.

    Correct. If it effects stats. However, if it's to make an item "ornate" for vanity only it would work.

    The only suggestion I have on cotos is that players can sota mail me cotos they don't want/need. I am now out of more suggestions. Sorry.

    Ok so artifacts that's a bad idea. But for Ornates it sounds like it could work.

    Oh and @Duke Gréagóir needs more COTO's.

    I suggested something like this once, as an optional element to an artifact re-forging process. See my thread on this,
    Artifact re-forging

    The simplest path to re-forging an artifact would be with other ingredients, ie

    But then, I talked about possible other (optional) paths to create artifacts, including smelting CotOs in the Obsidian Forge to create new ancient essences.
