Rework in the chests

[frank gate]

After reaching level 100, common, uncommon, and rare chests become useless for most players.
To make them usable, I thought of a new solution: combining weapons and reforging them into new, better weapons. For example:
1 common chest = 1 common weapon | 5 common weapons can be combined to become an uncommon weapon.

1 uncommon chest = 1 uncommon weapon | 5 uncommon weapons can be combined to become a rare weapon.

1 rare chest = 1 rare weapon | 5 rare weapons can be combined to become a legendary weapon.

The 5 weapons need to be of the same type to be combined (the modifiers don't matter, and with each weapon reforging, subsequent modifiers would be random).

Imagine you're trying to get a bow for the ranger, but you can only get swords in the legendary chest; instead, you can open several cheaper chests and "assemble" your bow in small parts. This requires more effort, but it can benefit casual players with a sense of progression.

For this to work, the inventory would also need to be expanded, along with the idea suggested by Mako: "Group chests into counter like stackables rather than individual items."

*Please change the price of the uncommon chest to 5k gold for perfectionist purposes

Hmmm intersting.
Kinda of upgrade system?

Yea

[humble echo]

I think it's a good idea. For me, the blue and yellow chests are useless throughout the game. I'll stick with brown weapons until they're leveled 100, and then only open the legendary chests

I was advised to reforging the chests themselves instead of the items, but I prefer that the items be reforged because otherwise everything will end up being about legendary chests. With this system being for items, we have two paths to follow: Either craft a specific item by opening cheaper chests or try our luck by opening the legendary chest directly

And I was also asked, "Why would I want to open 5 rare chests if I can open one legendary?" I'll give my opinion here in case someone else has the same question: Casual players don't have as many opportunities to open legendary chests at will, so this would be a method, as I mentioned in the post. And for those players who play for many hours, imagine that you've collected all the legendary chests of the week and can still obtain more legendary weapons through this system (you might end up choosing to play on other maps to farm specific chests and maybe meet new players along the way to help them)
