For the wandmaker, we can decide to keep the drop (embers, rotberry, dust) which have some uses and makes for some interesting gameplay. I like this, it gives you some options if you don't like the wands he offer.

I would like to see something similar with the imp. Here's my suggestion: Instead of collecting 4-5 tokens, he just asks for 1 "ring essence". Instead this essence have a 20% chance to drop. Or possible 0/0/0/50/100% drop chance for each kill to keep it consistent with 4-5 kills.

If you keep the drop, you can use it to upgrade an existing ring +1 at an alchemy, or +2 at the blacksmith, costing some favor. Imp at floor 20 would appear once the essence have dropped, regardless of quest completion. But he could be grumpy and charge an extra +10% in his shop.

Using this essence would also curse the upgraded ring. Alternative is that the imp shows up as soon as you try wear the ring, throwing a curse on it in spite.

This would add some interesting new gameplay

  • You get the ring as normal, everything essentially as before.
  • You lose out on a potential +4 ring, but you can't escape that the upgraded ring you get, one way or another, to be cursed.
  • For a +2 ring, it would also cost you additional time and favor.

The imp quest is already planned for a total overhaul. The plan is for a special raid on a dwarven vault!

I am looking forward to that. The current quest is incredibly dull and frustrating. Luck determines whether you find the imp early or not and if late then you have a potentially very long grind ahead while waiting for monks or golems to spawn. Not great!

Agree on the current Imp quest being quite dull. Thanks for the heads up on the overhaul, looking forward to that !
