One of the most unfortunate events that can happen to anyone is being forced to give up in a dungeon, whether that be due to Escape Orb lag, accidentally pressing Give Up, or losing an Escape Rope to a sticky trap. I’ve come up with an idea to help remedy this that I believe would be fun, easy to implement, and beneficial to the economy.
Introducing… Soulbound items!
An NPC could be added in a late-game area, such as Frigid Heights. This NPC would give players the ability to “soulbind” specific items. Essentially, the player would be able to trade in their items for identical ones, with the difference being they can’t be dropped or lost. However, doing this would come at a cost.
I’m not sure on the best way to approach pricing this service. Perhaps existing items such as Heart Scales could be used as currency. Maybe goold old-fashioned Poke could be used. Maybe the currency used could depend on the item being soulbound. However, I’ve got suggestions.
The list of items I believe should be able to be soulbound, as well as a suggested prices to do so, are as follows:
