Monster Corpses Vs Dusting+Loot
- Monster Corpses 41
- Dusting+Loot 8
Hi guys.I've thought about this concept a lot since I started writing this story. and though it's far to late to impliment it into the story as is, I was wondering what yall thought about the idea if i was to write it into the final published version.Monster corpses are how things work now; the monster dies, and guilders can harvest the corpse for whatever they want to take. The rest gets removed by dungeon monsters and either eaten or buried.Dusting+Loot leans into my earlier concept of monsters being made up of mana, with only parts made of actual flesh. In this case, when a monster dies all the parts made entirely of mana turn back into mana, through a Souls-like dusting effect. This would leave behind the parts made of flesh, or equipment.In the case of Dusting, monsters would become stronger the more flesh they have, since having actual flesh gives the mana something to reinforce instead of just imitate. Thus, for the crabs, parts like their shell and claws may be more flesh than the rest, leaving behind large pieces of carapace/flesh-filled claws for guilders to sell or turn into equipment. It's also allows a more randomized loot system. Like, Collect 30 Goblin Ears is a bit harder when not every goblin actually drops ears.Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? Feel free to comment!
