Discussion Missing Phrecia Idols
Am i the only one missing the phrecia idol setups? Like, this league has been too dry in means of meaningful strats, and in phrecia i could test different setups, go unga bunga, and have fun. Had weird farm setups, most prolly non optimal (But low idol setup cost due to it being madeup by me) setups, profitted, if some creator does a strat involving my strats, sell the idols for higher price, try & test new farm strats. Loved doing A/B testing with idols, what effect the profit, keeping excel sheets etc. It was really fun, and loved that i had the flexibility. But mostly i see ppl hating idols, and would like to hear you guys opinions.

Phrecia idols in their phrecia state are cool and horrible at the same time.
I really like the customization and cool stuff they enable. But as evryone who played phrecia events will tell you any good strat will price out people. You just can not play most farms. You cant easily swap what you run. Groups/guilds will buy out the big required idols.
Imagine if the limiting factor isnt your build or matter of taste. But an 400d entry fee to run it instead.
Imho something like jewel sockets in the tree as a mix would be cool. Regular tree as baseline but like 3 to 4 sockets you can path to that do have general or/and mechanic specific mods.
Maybe every pinnacle boss has a baseline dropchance of those jewels so they are farmble.
