Make uniques drop appropriate arts

#1 Post by Zonk »

Harkor'Zun should be likely(if not guaranteed)to drop its gauntlets. Burb could drop the snowwraps, and so on if there are other artifacts that are tied to existing uniques.
New artifacts could be added as appropriate, or the lore of existing ones changed to fit the skeletal mold, Rungof...

Currently they just drop an artifact which *CAN*be the appropriate one, but is not particularly likely to be - there certainly isn't a 25% chance of getting the proper art, unlike with zone bosses.

I had a white worm mass in trollmire 1 drop bills tree trunk ;)

Must have rolled over it when he set it down and dragged it all the way from his stash to there!

I'm sure we've all had hilarious finds such as these, yeah :) Sometimes one can come up with a decent/funny justification(Bill lent his trunk to Prox!), sometimes..it's a bit harder. Though that's not what my idea is about - I meant uniques that aren't zone guardians.

other than harkor, are there any other thematic uniques? I dont think there is one for the warg pack leader, dont remember its name, nor for the snow giant.

...For some reason I thought the snow giant wraps mention Burb by name, but I was misremembering(or more likely, when I mentioned Harkor Zun and the gauntlets in chat, someone mentioned Burb and the wraps..) Anyway, it would STILL be somewhat fitting.
And having appropriate arts for the skeletal mold, Rungof(one of his fangs, perhaps?), the phoenix...could be interesting.
