Hey Scapers,
I wasn't sure if I should share this idea here or on discord.
I have an idea for the sorely needed item sink for OSRS. I think it may be more of a band-aid but it could be fun little quick work idea.
So this idea is founded upon the concept of Tears of Guthix - a weekly activity yielding a small amount of exp.
So how I envision it is that there is essentially either an extra planar dimension where certain figures are battling each other in some kind of pocket dimension celestial war and each side requires resources that they don't readily have available at all times. So they send scouts in search of these things and they wind up in Gielinor. They are able to grant a small amount of exp (kind scaled like ToG) based on the resources that they require and the player offers as tribute. (perhaps the existing gods could be worked in for a different reward structure, but im trying to keep it simple)
The player would be notified that they can offer tribute and they would then have to cast a new spell to divine which type of resources are needed (potions, runes, ammo, weapons, armour, amulets, food, etc.)
once they divine which items are required this week (maybe it is the same for all players, but they have to divine it anyways) they can offer items of that same type as tribute. This would continue until they fill a meter that shows they have contributed enough to receive the EXP reward. More expensive items (say in different value thresholds) would fill the meter faster and vice versa.
I think is a good little fix, we all want exp, plus some additional items would have to be used in the divining spell.
Pros:
-Item sink - so badly needed
-Exp - but not insane amounts
-simple if it is kinda like ToG
-not game breaking
-possibly workable for ironmen
-not exactly buyable exp since it is weekly and the exp is scaled
-could be connected to a questline (I vote for pocket dimension fairy questline)
Hope you like it, love to hear some thoughts.
