New M.O.T.H.E.R functionality

M.O.T.H.E.R has been researching old gods and corruption longer than written history.

As such, it’d be great if she scraped corruption off of your items, remarking how unremarkable it is.

Your character asks what she means and M.O.T.H.E.R reveals that she has a library of corruption in storage.

You ask to run, “field tests,” on some of the corruption and she agrees to place it on a desired item.

M.O.T.H.E.R could become a vendor of rank 1-3 corruptions of each type in exchange for mementoes.

  • 30000 mementoes for rank 1 of any corruption.
  • 60000 mementos for any rank 2
  • 90000 mementoes for any rank 3

A little less RNG for us to deal with, at the end of an expansion, which showcased RNG taken to the extreme.

Edited to reflect more realistic prices.

I’m sure people would find a way to complain.

Ion would say that players wouldn’t know where Mother is, as a vendor.

suggested costs are too low

considering how powerful they are compared to sockets, i’d say 25k for a rank 1 would be cheap.

Agreed.

I think the better idea is you have to give her the corruption from your gear too. So you’re paying the corruption AND momentos to get back corruption only. It’s a net loss in resources to relocate a corruption, basically.

You can sort of bank the corruptions with MOTHER and pay a currency to drop them on a different piece of gear. You still would have to farm the corruption, but now there’s more flexibility.

Or, perhaps combine, two like, corruptions into a stronger one.

  • rank 2 infinite star + rank 1 infinite star = rank 3 infinite star

(If you’re lucky enough to get multiple, desirable corruptions)
