Upping the Ante: Sordaan’s Wagers

Upping the Ante: Sordaan’s Wagers
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
Updating content and rewards for Sordaan's Wagers!
Justification
This Proposal is a rework of existing game content. The Sordaan’s Wagers quests are a repeatable instance based mission currently all scaled with sub lvl 50 content. It is important to note that currently these instances have a UNIQUE 6 player cap. I would maintain this cap. My suggestion is to have instance levels added to this content. I have broken down my example of this below.

I believe the reward below should be considered quest rewards NOT the end of instance payouts.This requires all group members to unlock the Ettyyy Hunting grounds and do the quests to access these Wagers. I imagine this working as additional dialogue options for Sordaan for each difficulty and receiving the usual travel pass but a specific one to the chosen difficulty.
Motivation
This is the first of a few ideas to help make the Kashyyyk endgame more rewarding for the player-base while maintaining economic balance.

Legendary hunter Box:


The Legendary Hunters Box concept is driven by the interest in a wider variety of weapon skins, as well as rewarding small group PvE Content. Obviously the contents of this box would be up to staff discretion. But I would personally suggest the following.

  • Lifeday Matriarch and Patriarch Paintings (Lowest Drop Rate)
  • Legendary Fallann Hyper Rifle (Low Drop Rate)
  • Legendary Xris Acid Sword (Low Drop Rate)
  • Legendary Kalrannos Carbine (Low Drop Rate)
  • Legendary Tchotchee Pistol (Low Drop Rate)
  • Legendary Trandoshan Hunter Lance ( Low Drop rate)
  • Legendary Darstai'is Sickle ( Low Drop rate)
  • Range & Melee Augmentations Over 225
  • Ranged & Melee Enhancements over 25
  • Kashyyyk Deco Items such as: Ceremonial Chair, Webweaver Blanket, Paintings, Ceremonial Table, Mystical Centerpiece, Wookiee Totems 1&2, Kashyyyk Travel Advertisement
Additional Suggestions:

I would love to see this have a repeatable Collection for Nightmare difficulty. Maybe as simple as completing each instance once fills a collection box and the reward is an additional Legendary Hunters Box

This is the first of a few ideas to help make the Kashyyyk endgame more rewarding for the player-base while maintaining economic balance.

What a well written PV. Great use of existing content to try and create something new with minimal dev time. I was really dubious at first, but by the end you convinced me. Only thing is wookiees everywhere want a way to get a legendary bowcaster they can actually use for content, this would be a pretty awesome place to put it. Might be worth amending that to the loot box. Either way, great job.
 
Upvoted, no notes. Really cool idea. Would be made even cooler if we had faster mounts for kashyyyk content! That quest line is 95% riding from the quest giver to then be told to go to the other side of the map to kill 5 mobs. The current run animation for mounts is already derpy looking, we can push it to derpier levels!
