Impossible easter eggs and why I love them.

Definitely the sort of thing that some people will be into, and others won't be as happy about, like Legendary items. It's quite possible there will be quests that reward Legendary items in this way, I think they said this.

Hopefully it'll be the sort of thing that gets discussed eventually, I particularly like the idea of it relative to Religion or Astrology. I'll bet Intrepid will appreciate any feedback on that when they start bringing in those systems.

I think this could be combined with OP's idea. Mb you find that grinding spot and after killing a thousand mobs there (or just getting very very lucky), you loot a piece of rock slab that points you towards another mob location. And possession of this slab gives you more XP/money when farming that new spot.

And maybe that spot is not the most optimal for your class to farm, so you gotta bring friends. And those friends might want to do this "quest line" too so you farm the first location to drop them a piece of the slab too. And you do this several times, with maybe some of the pieces pointing you towards bosses or some additional quest lines that give you some cool gear.

And at the end you gotta kill some epic boss, while using the full rock slab in some way, which will give you some cool title with a stat buff or smth along those lines.

Lineage 2 had a similar mechanic for their class change quest. You had to get a drop of blood from one of the epic bosses. That boss was usually controlled by one of the big guilds so you'd either have to be in that guild, be in the opposing guild and defend the other one for the right to farm the boss or just buy your way into the boss room so that you can prick the boss with a quest item for that drop of blood.

Yeah, which is why it was changed later on. I was just giving an example where this kind of thing could be used. A lot of things in Ashes will already be veeeery exclusive so adding one more exclusive thing, that's only meant for the people who care about collecting all the things/features in the game, shouldn't be that much of a bad thing.

Hell, you could even have the last part as an optional step that gives you the title, while all the previous steps give you the gear/accessory/cosmetic.
