Is it possible to make old arcanes and mythics set available to purchase for plat in browser set section and set it for bound as it won't be possible to get them without having the old chest to unlock? I hope it benefits both new players and sts.

We don't have plans to make bound versions of previous Mythic/Arcane items, but we're working on new lootable Arcanes now spanning most of the campaigns.

Events will occasionally make the older items available, and we do have a todo item to allow the players to actually acquire the older items via Crate Tokens or some other method.

A lot of older currency (e.g., cryostar coins) are quite useless right now and not worth farming it for both a regular playthrough and hardcore. Is it an idea to include 3 items that form a set (I was thinking of artifact, brace & belt) starting from Tindirin? My idea is to make the first 3 items purchasable from the vendor in expedition camp, for 50 teeth for example. Equipping all 3 will give a bonus in the next expansion area (so the set from tindirin will give a boost in the ren'gol maps, similar to those bonuses specifically applying in Somberholt maps), or depending on level if that's preferred. Artifact, brace & belt are quite hard to get up until Zodias, and most new players & hardcores will be a bit stuck around ren'gol. Set bonuses could start with simple & weak stat boosts such as 10% movement speed, +30 primary stat in Tindirin and could get more powerful, e.g., +100 primary stat & 50-100% gold loot in Dune (some gold loot would be appreciated by new players and this amount of gold loot will be way less than what current/older players currently have, not breaking any current meta)

These 3 items will be able to be farmed in the previous expansion and can help them advance further without having to be carried. Going back to the example, when a player obtained all 3 items in Tindirin, they should be able to farm Ren'gol better. These 3 items can then be upgraded through crafting with, for example, those cryogem fragments that can be purchasable in Garetta Village for orc tags. The idea is that this form of upgrading through crafting can be done up until the dune expansion, allowing players to upgrade hard-to-find items for these equipment slots and improving the utility of these older special currencies.

Another benefit I see is that people will be running older maps more often as well, instead of just passing through once and never looking back. You could also even make an achievement out of this crafting sequence, and make these items BOE or untradeable.

I think that this will help new players and hardcore players a lot and improve/smoothen the difficulty and road to 91 a lot, especially since players usually reach tindirin quite fast but then really start depending on carry.

Of course, the stats & set boost can be anything that you find suitable/appropriate, as well as the price. However, when released well, I think it could help a lot of new and HC players
