At the end of dungeons have an area where DoL can try their luck at bonus items (darklight ore, darklight thread for example) darklight ore, ingot, chains, plates etc would be used to make the darklight gear in different combinations that are the same throughout each category (hands, feet, bodies, etc) this also incorporates a token system because you would find a set amount of ore/thread/whatever and then they'd add some RNG for the DoL to have a chance at additional loot.

I think it's genius-It uses all of the disciples and incorporates a token system with the possibility to get lucky.
Nobody is going to wait on 2 dol, and in 2.0 there will likely be no rentery timer to force a wait.

This also forces the less social to either leave game or be under-geared. I think adding an npc who can do these crafts would be required (if all dungeon items became crafts - this way crafters cant claim priority on item drops and you cant get your own gear without paying for it even though you did the work).
