Suggestion: rare mob spawns.
Even at a high level where impling hunting doesnt gain me much, I find myself in Puropuro and Prifddinas to hunt for rare implings every so often. Having rare mobs spawn in random and/ or preset locations could be a fitting addition to the game, possibly adding to the oldschool feel (see my example below). I think this kind of mechanic is a fun way to mix up gameplay. A harmless activity to add some excitement and possibly fill in unused or low traffic areas of the map.
Examlpe: old runescape npcs such as old demon, old imp (or other mobs in their 2006 graphical appearance), fishing troll, tree ent (...discontinued random events), maby the old kbd as an extremely rare encounter? Appearing in any location and roaming, making them difficult to find. Yielding anything from cosmetic rewards to balanced exp or gp rewards. Roaming locations could be fitted to their natural habitat, eg. a rock golem wandering about in Lovakengj mines or a fishing troll near the shore lines of the Kebos Lowlands.
I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
