Shrines: Portable versions and Home Street versions

Ever needed to donate to a shrine or pick up an emblem that was a bajillion streets away?
I know I have. And for me, it's extremely annoying to have to walk all the way to that street then realize you had to find another shrine or vendor that was another kajillion streets away.

So, why not make portable/semi-portable shrines?

Pocket Shrines

These shrines can be carried around in your inventory and used whenever you wanted to. Although hard to create, the final product can be very rewarding; you'll be able to worship your favorite giant on-the-go!

How to make
A player would have to gather exactly 11 icons of the same giant. Then, they would have an option enabled on the icons to "Create Shrine" (Or something that meant that) to create a handy-dandy pocket shrine!

This shrine would last for a near infinite amount of favor points in donations; afterwards the shrine will require something to continue functioning. To repair it, the player would have to donate an icon (or x number of emblems) of the giant's symbol on the pocket shrine to the 'broken' shrine.

  • @WalruZ:
    Personally I don't mind. I just put that there as an opening. Problem?

  • The idea of it only lasting 10k favor points would make it completely unusable.  To make 11 icons of the same giant you need to earn 847,000 favor with that giant.  In order to make another one to fix your pocket shrine you'd have to donate an additional 154,100 favor.  So you would spend 154k favor repairing a pocket shrine to donate 10k favor to.  At that point even one emblem would be worth more than 10k favor.

    I think combining 11 icons to make a shrine in a location seems fair enough because putting a shrine on your home street really doesn't get you any kind of advantage - especially not after you've donated enough to that giant to earn 11 icons.  Really, as much as I like the idea of making a shrine from 11 icons I think it's probably a bit steep (I'd pay it but it would be totally inaccessible for most players).

    I think 11 icons for a portable shrine to a giant with no limitation of breaking would also be fine, and would probably be suitable because it is outrageous and unnecessary so limiting it to only those in the million+ favor club would be fine.

  • I like the idea of more yard options, but agree with Humbabella that that price is too steep for something that would break.

  • Edit:
    Changed 10,000 favor to "near infinite"

  • Well, with infinite down as being reasonable with Hum's explanation, I think it'd be a super cool idea :)

  • I like the idea of 11 icons allowing yo uto make a shrine, that'd be cool.
