I’m worried you aren’t understanding the proposal.
I think we will be able to implement the Forge with as few as even three alloys total. The idea is composability in the wearable system. You can forge your own path from a common set to godlikes by melting down wearables and forging new ones. Or you can smelt one of your high rarity wearables to outfit more of your gotchis. Either way, alloy, the base component of all wearables, is burnt which adds a deflationary mechanic on the wearable market. This deflationary mechanic affords introduction of new wearables via sales. Additionally, schematics allow abstraction of variety and stat diversity from slot + rarity tier. Anyone could introduce “schematics” via a defined process similar to FGCs. Additionally, schematics could be raffled to finish off FRENS or serve as a rolling, monthly raffle employing a new GLTR=>raffle ticket system. Alchemica has no role in this protocol asset aside from a relatively small, fixed cost for firing up the forge. We cannot tie the value of BRS-modifying wearables to alchemica with its volatility and high emission rate. Alchemica could play a future role in non-BRS modifying wearable creation.
Below is a graphic explaining where we are at in theory-crafing this proposal.
Terms:
Schematic: The recipe and instructions for crafing the wearable. Provides variety.
Frame: The mould or skeleton for the forging itself. Provides a lever for scarcity.
Alloy: Base component of all BRS-modifying wearables. Allows composability
Cooldown: Time between forging ± smelting before you can attempt again. Linear. GLTR reduces.
Burn Rate: Extra alloy required to forge. Current models at 10%. Lever for deflation.
Essence: The life force of gotchis. Required for pets/godlikes (omitted from diagram below).
This process allows granular control over variety and scarcity. We can control introduction of Frames with a shared “Framework” defining goal numbers of wearables per slot. This framework will be produced as part of this project. We can be more liberal with schematic distribution as no asset holder is being diluted. None was not feasible with prior wearable distribution events but is with the Forge.
