You know how with regular IOs if you craft so many of a certain level you can memorize the recipe (then you never need to buy it or get it as a drop again, just need salvage and meet the inf crafting cost.)?
Well, why not have some sort of similar situation with Inspirations?
Naturally because they are consumables we can't just have people able to get as many as they want. this means there would need to be some limits, maybe so many per hour.
Or better yet, back in issue 5 to 12 we had a "convert 3 to next tier of same type" ability in the normal conversion menu. I know I have already mentioned this and the mods here have thoroughly shot adding this back in down. However that was a request to add it back in as it was, that is to say any player can do it as often as they want to.
However now I am suggesting doing it as a Set of conversion badges and accolades as follows:
Respiteful (badge): Convert 3 small green to each of the other 8 types of inspirations 10 times each and convert each of the other 8 types of inspirations back to a small green 10 times to unlock this badge.
and the same for every other small inspiration that can be combined.
When you get all 8 badges: Inspiration Accolade 1:
Once per minute instead of the normal inspiration combination menu [convert to other insp, convert to the same insp (greyed out)], you will have the option to upgrade any small insp you have 3 of to 1 medium insp of the same type instead of the greyed out option to convert to the same insp. this option will return to being greyed out after use each time with one minute between usages.
Next a series of badges for combining 3 medium insps of each type to each other type 30 times each!
When you get all 8 badges: Inspiration Accolade 2:
you are now able to combine any medium inspiration you have 3 of to one Large inspiration of the same type once per minute.
Next a series of badges for combining 3 large insps of each type to each other type 90 times each!
When you get all 8 badges: Inspiration Accolade 3:
You are now able to combine any Large inspiration you have 3 of to one Super inspiration of the same type once per minute!
At these rates it'd take you more than 39 minutes to create 1 super insp from an insp vendor's small insps. It requires conscious badge earning such as converting to types of insps you might not care to way more than you'd like. Could also make them sequential, so you need to get the small insp accolade first! can't just jump to gaining credit towards the large insp accolade.
in example Most people delete extra awakens because they clog insp inventory space (usually only keeping 1 at most if they have nothing better), so they never convert them to anything else or rarely do so, thus they could never earn these badges without consciously planning to do so or taking forever.
It'd take a bit of code to apply it, but more badges and accolades to earn makes for more fun. plus it'd be nice in a pinch to be able to convert 3 to a more powerful insp.
