Suggestion - Reflection on obtaining spellbooks

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Speaking of crafting, I think in the future it would be nice to rework the way spellbooks are obtained, probably by removing MOST crafts and making them accessible by other ways (except some basic spells), mainly rituals I think, but also by loot from structure chests, trading with wizards when they're added and killing mystic mobs if they're added, I also think it would be nice to have more unique ways of getting each spell, so for example some could be obtainable only by trading with wizards, and not craftable (neither by magical crafting table nor by ritual). It's clearly not an advanced idea that I'm putting forward, but I think it would be a good thing to think about, especially as spellbooks are at the heart of gameplay, so I think it's important to work on how they're obtained, and on making them seem more unique. If all spellbook crafts are removed, there's a risk that this will make the number of crafts in the magical crafting table very low: it'll still be useful because it'll be used in rituals, but in terms of crafts it's likely to be very few, so I think we'll either have to see if the number of crafts increases again with future updates, or simply remove its crafting table aspect, I think this could be a good idea, since rituals are a more unique mechanic, and allow for a lot of things (especially if you take into account that you can make several ritual setups, with more expensive ones to build for more advanced crafts).
