Hello all,

I came Up with a probably decent Idea to reduce blacksmith timers in a balanced way, since I read a few Times now that people are a Bit annoyed by the Long waiting Times and the fact you can't do much about it. (Apart from the 3 hours reduction by using whetstones, but for weapons only)

This would be mostly aimed towards highly active Players who tend to "feel" the Long timers more.

The Idea: When upgrading an Item, there is an Option to start a minigame at the blacksmith to "Help" Upgrade your Item, accessible every 1/2/4(?) Hours. To start it, it would cost some orns, ideally scaling with current tier you are in or Tier/Type of Item, but Not a ridiculous high amount. Example out of the blue: t7 5k, t8 10k, t9 25k, t10 50k.

The minigame itself Could be some Sort of reaction based Game, for Example: tap on the Item in the correct Moment. Depending on how Well you do, the Timer would be decreased by up to 1 or 2 hours with a Minimum of 15 Minutes If you dont do anything.

All Numbers and the Game itself Could Change, These are Just examples. I thought that this would be a good Idea for very active Players (and of course anyone Else as Well) to provide an optional, non p2w way to decrease Smith timers for a Bit. There Could also be a Maximum of for Example 2 days you can reduce from the total.

What would you think about this, leave the Timer untouched at all costs or Could you Imagine this to be a Thing?
