(Based on Sebax’s original concept re: “Make special event recipes, only obtainable in an event in that event…'“)

It would be cool to have a little memento of previous events in recipe form. Only thing is, they would have to craft insignificant things that don’t impact gameplay too massively. I would instead suggest that these special event recipes craft silly consumables, cosmetics, furniture, mounts etc. One idea for example is the ‘Birthday Cake’ recipe (Rare drop obtained from anniversary event). Upon use, confetti is dropped from the sky and balloons are released for a short duration. These limited-edition recipes could become highly sought after by collectors and support a culture of memorabilia hunting.

Why not make these craftables available for direct purchase from a limited-time event vendor?

• 1. Recipes create a more player-driven market, perpetuating the social aspect of an MMO. Unlike purchasing from an NPC, players can barter with each other and are forced to interact in order to secure rare goods.

• 2. On top of that, successfully crafting a recipe can provide a sense of achievement and progression.; anecdotally speaking, I felt this exact way when crafting my very first skateboard mount. Finding and gathering the necessary ingredients can add a layer of challenge and problem-solving to the game.

• 3. Apartments with valuable recipes may appreciate in value over time, especially if the recipes become rarer or more sought after. This allows you to enhance the inherent value of apartments through gameplay. e.g A small apartment with high tier recipes may cost as much-or even more than a medium apartment with common recipes.

I don’t expect this to be implemented into the next iteration of Halloweeb, but it is some food for thought. I would appreciate any opinions, good or bad.
