This is an idea I thought of a while ago but haven't seen anyone post yet.
I've noticed the recent developer post regarding NNI is to reduce "The required number of astraria to replace with the next higher floor equipment will be reduced from 25 to 5." While I think you're on the right track here's what I propose:
*Completion of floors 20/40/60 result in an astraria that can be turned in for an HQ piece of equipment.
*Amount required depends on the floor you received the astraria.
Currently, the way it works is:
Bronze astrarium (+1 armor): Defeat floor 20 boss 25 times.
Silver astrarium (+2 armor): Defeat floor 40 boss 25 times.
Mythril astrarium (+3 armor): Defeat floor 60 boss 25 times.
Gold astrarium (HQ armor): Defeat floor 80 boss 25 times.
Platinum astrarium (HQ armor): Defeat floor 100 boss once.
With the update to turn 25 times to 5 times, what I suggest is:
Bronze astrarium (HQ armor): Defeat floor 20 boss 20/25 times.
Silver astrarium (HQ armor): Defeat floor 40 boss 15 times.
Mythril astrarium (HQ armor): Defeat floor 60 boss 10 times.
Gold astrarium (HQ armor): Defeat floor 80 boss 5 times.
Platinum astrarium (HQ armor): Defeat floor 100 boss once.
Note: I said "20/25" because I couldn't decide if it'd be better to preserve the by 5 pattern or not.
I think this will help to give a sense of progression to this event as well as give it the "shoutable" potential that original Nyzul had. It would be balanced in that if you have the connections to succeed on high floors you can finish faster but those who don't can aim for lower floors. Assuming no losses and holding an extra tag, it would still take a month to finish a piece on the lowest floor.
I hope this is a satisfactory suggestion. Tell me what you think. Do you think this is a fairly balanced approach to this situation?
