I speak of the rings and necklaces obtained in the trials of the skull.
I see a lot of players stuffing these items into their bases and often throwing them all away.
I think these items should have a conversion in the northern tribe, other than forging, because at low levels, they are not worth forging. How about the tribe accepts these items in the context of such items storing energy that influences the spirit realm.
Each ring/necklace (it would depend on the level +) would store energy, when the necessary energy had been extracted through the magic items, the character would receive a blessing/food/drink that would be fully focused on strengthening him against spirits. This consumable would be exclusive to this exchange mechanic, and would be a very important resource for reaching high levels in competitions.
And this is just a draft, this mechanic can be expanded to improve indigenous weapons/clothing through this energy extracted through magical items.
I really like this side of Westland with the native people, especially the spiritual side, and I would like to see a related expansion.
