I would love to have a way to get mods on my gear other then pure luck. I suggest adding a whole new zone similar to the mausoleum and infernal darkness. Big bank tough bosses who rarely drop stuff. The drops would be mod crystals, different color crystals each representing a different mod (red - evil, green - radio etc). Now you would need to collect at least 10 of the same one to then turn them in for a chance to mod your gear. This way it's pretty difficult to get modded gear but at least now it's not just based on luck.

Excellent idea. /signed

Oh another thing i forgot, once you mod something it becomes nurobound.

This, I like. Can you use a crystal on something twice? And make sure you can't waste 2 greens on 1 item, or at least double the bonus?

I agree that there needs to be some way to get modded gear, but making it exclusively obtainable by high levels is not the way to get. I suggest that in addition to those high shield bosses there be added others that are easier to kill, but give a type of "Minor crystal" that gives a smaller modded bonus.

I really like the NB idea, I think that if it makes your item NB though, it should be slightly easier to obtain

No for double bonuses but for double mods it could be something like, 5 crystals for the first mod 10 for double 15 for triple.

I don't think these crystals should be easy to get at all NB or not, modded gear is the endgame of endgame!

double bonus / minor bonus etc is impossible under the current mod system (would need to add a completely new "mod" that support more than an on / off flag.

There is also no system in place to "apply" a mission reward to a specific item, so would need to add that (its an extra stage in the mission complete part, which essentially mean new network messages and persona states).

With that added, it would be relatively simple to add a mod reward specified by a mission definition xml.

Maybe a mod upgrade item would be easier to add? Still don't know how you would apply it to a specific weapon? But hey, it's C2 anything is possible!

That's to many crystals. Remember were talking the mausoleum and ID drop rates. Imagine trying to get 25 aoh.

Bump cause i want to mod my zeus engine!

The way I'm reading this is, Kill Pain-In-The-Ass Boss X for a chance at rare drop Y, of which you need 10 to get anything useful. It's not exactly doing much to alleviate the random element of modded gear, except instead of needing luck, you'd need luck x10.
