...Of which there are currently exactly zero.



One of the big problems with master missions (among many, but this is the one we're focusing on in this thread) is that there's not a ton of incentive to do them after a while. Either they become too dangerous to justify what little you get out of them (Vagan, Haku) or you don't really get anything from them (Catarina, holy crap). Tora (who is dangerous BUT is the most rewarding non-Zana master), Elreon, Vorici, and Zana are in good places thereabouts, though they could use a little tweaking.



At the same time, there's been a conspicuous absence of any Divination Cards that can drop in Master mission side areas. Here's my suggestion for a divination card that can only drop in Master mission side areas:



The Master's Gift

Empower, Enhance, or Enlighten

20% quality

Every apprentice must, one day, strike out on their own. FYI: It's not a fantasy story, it's a cosmic horror story. Posted by

I wouldn't call that exactly zero, despite it being yet another benefit of the Zana one. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lost_WorldsI wouldn't call that exactly zero, despite it being yet another benefit of the Zana one. Posted by

Or they could just make each master able to sell one of these cards in the higher master levels, giving you incentive to do master missions just to reset their shops. This would be better imo because it stops the unnecessarily long farming of master mission zones just in hopes of finding one card but rather getting masters to a high level and doing their missions every day to see what they are selling.

Except...that wouldn't encourage doing the dailies, because doing the dailies isn't actually required to reset the shop. I reset Catarina, Haku, and Vagan every day by abandoning their missions, which are frankly not worth the effort right now.

how about



successfully completing a daily gives a better version of their shop?





-25% chance of unique being sold -> 33%

-will sell x2 Item with signature mod

-increased chance of quality gem being sold

-Item level 71 white item -> Item level 78



better version shop is only available when the master is lvl 8 Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy. thinking: "This time is gonna be different. No, no, no please... This time is gonna be different."

I absolutely agree that there should be more incentive, as well as divination cards from master missions. The card's I would really want though, that would seem appropriate to me would be cards that gave a random rare item with that master's special affix on it...Or failing that, just a magic item like they sell with the affix on it for crafting. Daily quests worth doing:

+1, E-gem would be the perfect fit.

I would let the card drop on all master missions, not just their dailies. That way, meeting masters in the wild would be worth something.



I also like the other suggestions for improving master rewards if you complete the mission. May your maps be bountiful, exile Posted by

Which requires doing master missions to reset her inventory, which is why it would be considered a Master Mission Divination card... Which requires doing master missions to reset her inventory, which is why it would be considered a Master Mission Divination card... Posted by
