Alternatively:
Make a single item: Aura Fragments
Players can get Fragments from the rare drop table and buying with various currencies

Tier 1 Auras = a certain number of fragments
Tier 2 Auras need you to unlock the Tier 1 and = even more fragments
Tier 3 Auras need you to unlock the Tier 2 and = even more fragments
and so on until Tier 5 = the most fragments each

Rare Drop Table rework would remove a lot of the scrub items

Generally universal rare drops, probably are worse than the loyalty time lock, since you can't really plan on getting them, but I'd leave some general commentary for that.

Gazes - since they're exclusively cosmetic - and unless you've literally kept them for 10 years you won't have them as an aura item anymore - I do not see an issue if they're kept as a loyalty feature for now. Very same thing for the oddball - it's a fun item, nothing more - sure 'technically' an aura, but it rather belongs into animation overrides by now.

I think it is good you do not try forcefully to shove this stuff into dead minigames, potentially making them worse obtainable than trough the loyalty program, but I do see problems with a couple of your selected sources:

Reaper - Until they fix the mess-up of that one aura, that is available in the store I generally would prefer if auras are kept out of it. It's literally much more efficient to buy hydrices, sell them, buy bonds for the gold and get the aura that way.

Shattered worlds is extremely overused as a reward source, while minigames can be a fairly intuitive source, this one is brutally overused already.

AW is likewise an issue - in order to gain all rewards - exclusively skilling from 1-99 in the workshop already is not enough. More respect rewards obviously will only worsen the issue.

Your aura fragment idea doesn't sound too bad, but I would have finished auras available at other sources as well, but the fragments somehow could serve as a wild card.

Maybe a couple of proposals from myself:

Resourceful - Archaeology guild - Assistant rank reward (somewhere like 5-10k chronotes)

Marks of war could in general be used more, but that doesn't fix the issue, that this currency basically is widely useless as soon as you've got all one-off rewards. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

What could be the issue having a time lock on stuff you actually have to get in order to engage with certain content, but have to sit out for months over months and even years over years until the system finally has given enough points to you. There are no other items you have to wait for years if you're actively trying to get them. Especially considering you rather will get stuff, that helps you winning fights over something, that just is nice to have for skilling purposes.

Yeah sure, nothing's wrong if you're ready to wait for almost a decade to have them all. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Most of the ones u'll actually need can be bought from wars retreat everything else is mostly skilling wise I don't see y it needs to be changed so what about all the auras I've bought over the years with loyalty points? Just tough luck to me? Yeah seems fair

+1

These arent really needed as they dont provide that much of a boost plus besides cosmetics, whats the point with using LP?

We need to adding more reasons to spend everyones stacks up points not making less reasons.
