Proposed solutions to Lich endless grind

[kuryux]

Current situation:

We have to farm requiem relics, to farm requiem mods, to farm the larva, to farm thralls, to farm the lich. All this should take at least a few hours for a single lich to get a single weapon.

Problem:

Relics and mods are tradable, so if RNG screws you, you can always resort to trading, which is good.

Lich weapons are not tradeable. So once u kill the larva, you find yourself stuck with a lich that is highly likely to have a weapon you dont want. There is no way to get rid of the lich, except spending hours to farm his thralls and spending your hard earned mods, only to get a weapon you dont want and cant do anything with it. What happens once you have say half the weapons? Half your time will be getting those same weapons! Imagine the horror if one ever manages to get 12/13 weapons or if a new kuva weapon is ever released!

Proposed solution 1:

What if, once we meet our kuva lich for the first time, a new option unlocked on the lich personal page allowing us to bribe him to go away? He would take the resources he stole from us, plus the bribe and simply leave. This could have an increasing price till it eventually resets daily or weekly.

This way we could hunt down untill the end only those that we are interested in, making the whole proccess a lot more exciting, but still RNG dependent.

Proposed solution 2:

Another possible concomitant solution is to make converting more interesting. Currently there is no reason to convert a lich after you have done it once. 

For example, the lich would feel grateful for us sparing his life and could give us random rewards like kuva, chance for requiem mods and whispers and such. So even if we dont want to pay the bribe, we could still hunt down the lich and actually get something in the end.

 

What everyone thinks? Do you have other possible solutions?

This should be solved in the future when they add the "board" thing to the clan to post up unwanted lich to othere clan members to grab. Hopefully it come sooner then later.

I think this is the Feedback section, not General Discussion, so discussing it is off-topic.

I have a better solution - remove the ayatan star from relic rewards, put the exilus mod in its place and put the kuva weap bps in the gold tier of the relic, that way you dont have the RNG spawning liches with kuva weaps you already have/had.

Or just blow them up along with their ship and any potential reward?
