Post Add All Built Items As Potential Drops
So BP built items like Primal Lion Thrusters, Singularity Brakes, Fine Tuned Mercurian Pharos, etc...

Do exactly what Olympus does, where those items can drop but they are just ridiculously rare.

Or make a Void Primal Lion and make him drop 1 primal gear every time >=D.

That's dumb, it only addresses one zone (Serengeti), and making a lion boss that t20 players can't kill for t20 gear is kind of ridiculous.

Anyway, the point is this. Oly and Subspace can drop all built gear, at any time though it is very rare. And there is a ton of stuff on the drop tables for DGs that never gets built, because they are decent items that are not justified by cost, are too obscure, or the intended players who should be building them don't have the resources. I mean shit a legitimate t20 player today would be hard pressed to put together a Merc Pharos, much less an FT Merc Pharos, and yet FT Merc Pharos is a t20 radar for t20 players.

It wouldn't be just for Serengeti, and it wouldn't be t22 difficulty. I dislike the fact that Oly and some t22 drops the built items while dropping the bps for them. Kinda makes building them obsolete.

Tell that to all the people building HMs and Ball Lightnings. It was incredibly stupid to have blueprints for common drops like Hermes Fire Starters and Ares Sappers, but for the rest, the rarity of the items cancels out any obsolescence for the BPs.

One of the things I liked about the Jungle when I ran it when I was low level was it dropped it's Primal version of gears which I could instantly use/throw on my alt instead of wasting time either building it or in most cases seeking an alternative piece of gear to use.

So I'm in favour of this.
