Guild Wars 2

I have an idea for the “unidentified object” in game. Create an NPC character that will identify the object. When completed the item can either, go towards crafting an item. i.e shield backing or bone shard. Or it could be an item encased in either stone or dirt, which the NPC could say something like " After clearing away the debris I found this dagger" They could even introduce another achievement for this, like they do for gatherer.

I know that they introduced this as a junk item so that we can sell them to merchants, but I fell we already have enough junk items as is. So why don’t we at least utilize one of them for something else instead of taken up inventory space.

That’s kinda like what OP was saying, except making the kits an NPC.
Which would be the opposite of the whole “Quality of Life” theme they are working on for their April patch. lol

BRING BACK THE IDENTIFY KITS!!

So…Deckard Caine?

No, it was a stupid system that contributed nothing.

Identifying only makes sense when you can have really unique items, like Diablo III’s legendaries, to add excitement to the drop.

They even removed identifying rares, it was only an unnecessary extra time.

In GW2, we have that in the form for the ascended boxes.

I agree windu, but giving players more junk to take up inventory space is cumbersome. There has to be a reason why the introduced unidentifiable objects and this is the only viable solution.
