This idea is for creating a scavenger hunt that takes place over the coarse of the entire LS season. It would work similarly to the current vine scavenger hunt except that this would be for a completely new equipment type. This way the item would start out fairly weak and gain all the way up to ascended/legendary status. The first story step would introduce the item and when upgraded it would become a basic (white) item that would give a small stat boost to a single stat of your choice (5?). One or two story steps later, it could be upgraded to fine status and give a larger bonus to a single stat (7?). This would continue until the final step where it could be upgraded to legendary status. it would still only give a bonus to one stat (30 maybe?) so as not to be too overpowered or anything (although being legendary, the stat could change at the owners will).

My idea for the item is based on a wisp. Basicly it would be a small ball of light that would follow your character around. Each time it is upgraded, it would change color to the corresponding gear level (EX fine would be blue, masterwork would be green etc). There could even be PvP only skins that change its appearance to the various PvP ranks. The wisp could be created via the mystic forge, but the items that go into its creation could only be obtained from the story or from the achievements. Maybe the recipes for the items that go into the forge and the ingredients could even come from story achievements.

Imagine spending the entire season working toward one legendary goal (there could be other rewards too for those that dont want to craft a new item).

EDIT: it should probably not have an upgrade component, since many of them give more stats than the original amount, but it could probably have an infusion slot at the ascended level

thoughts?

I like this idea. It sounds like a wisp could be like an early form of some djinn summon. Adding various summons like this that affect different stats or perform different functions available to any class could be a nice addition to the game in my opinion.

Backpieces seem to be the current trend atm, which seems a bit lazy to me personally. They add a small skin that attaches to the back and claim it’s something great when aside from a skin, it’s really nothing new to the game.

+1 for wisps or whatever lol. (nice idea!)
