I was thinking about having it in the star quest tab like next to the ToT quest icon. This way players never have to visit the event shop and treat it like a Crusader shop.
Assuming it is safe for me to speak again and this thread is relevant to my argument, there is a property of flames that makes it beneficial to players wearing low level gear than to those wishing to gear themselves up with primed Sweetwater and Absolab.
The best eye and face accessories in GMS/EMS are Sweetwater accessories due to them being to obtain 13% at Legendary and being able to reach 15 stars on star force in our version of the game. The "runner up" accessories would be Condensed Power Crystals and the Aquatic Letter Eye which both can obtain 12% at Legendary. Assuming that 1% per line is a small difference to Sweetwater, those who choose Sweetwater are considered screw due to the flaming restrictions of high leveled gears. The level of the flame determines what you flame with.
Similar to your character, flames cannot influence the stats of another item that is a higher level than the flame which is similar to how a level 30 thief cannot wear Absolab, but a level 200 can pretty much wear anything that is its job type. Assuming everyone who was upset with me saw a glance of my Googledoc might remember the abundance of 110 flames from the easier bosses opposed to the 150 flames which drop primarily for CRA and harder bosses. Players who get wear "flammable clothing" (XD) can easily re-roll their stats every boss compared to those who wear higher level gears.
Returning back to Sweetwater and Absolab, people might notice there aren't any 160+ flames out there. In this scenario, those who plan to polish their high end gear must resort to using scarcer Eternal and Powerful flames obtained via crafting as a Jeweler or wait until an event shop rolls in with Eternal and Powerful Flames. Crafted flames require materials from extracted pre existing flames, the counterpart of a "cubic blade" and some of the new crafting materials introduced during the RED Patch such as spell essences.
The idea of crafting Flames utilizes are the new items introduced during the RED patch as well as proving that Accessory Crafting can be just as good as Smithing (people use smithing for Meister Cubes.) Another idea this system would promote is some sort of interaction the community. Players sporting items that are only compatible with crafted flames will demand a high amount materials to make crafted flames. Players who take advantage on the dropped flames from other bosses can sell these flames to the rich so they could use them for materials for the crafted flames. The player who sold the materials would get income which they can use on affording new gear, scrolls etc. Since most "godly" players won't rest until they get the best additional stats, they would be buying materials on a daily basis which allows materials suppliers to benefit everyday.
GMS's community should cooperate more and craft more, and in return become stronger,
A minor annoyance I find in the reward shop is that items get "SOLD OUT." I don't feel happy having a limit of 5 cubes. 17k for 5x blacks and 5x reds. I'm also thinking if we can even get 30k reward points now that Star Planet is gone.
