  • The purpose of this entry is to provide suggestions for how to scale the offerings in the HESS to capture additional revenue from a larger percentage of the playerbase. The current all-or-none offerings may be leaving out a portion of the playerbase who would buy in at a lower price for a lower benefit/gain. The goal would be to make it more affordable for lower end gear, so everyone gets a chance to participate and not feel left out.

Enhancive Boosts:

Offer additions to lower bonuses for a more affordable entry point, scaling up in price for the highest of bonuses.
Add +1 to a Stat BASE of +1:+4 = 15k
Add +1 to a Stat BASE of +5:+9 = 25k
Add +1 to a Stat BASE of +10:+14 = 50k
The Stat BASE will still cap at +15.
Offer additions to Stat BONUS for double the price of Stat BASE.
Add +1 to a Stat BONUS of +1:+4 = 30k
Add +1 to a Stat BONUS of +5:+9 = 50k
Add +1 to a Stat BONUS of +10:+14 = 100k
The Stat BASE will still cap at +15.
  • You have now made every enhancive Stat BASE/BONUS eligible for service. Prices now scale to afford someone with a lower bonus a more affordable option for improvement.
