Retraining your hero, at what cost?

Working on a system to allow retraining for the player heroes in my ORPG.

Now the issue is I want to set a cost. What should it cost the player?

A quest item.
A certain amount of exp, maybe even a level or two.
A large amount of gold.
A chunk of another very special resource that will be hard to get.

I could make a quest for it, but if they player managed to gimp their char really badly, then that wont work well (God only knows how they would gimp their char, but I am sure someone will pull it off).

I could charge Exp, such as a whole level or two to be able to respec your abilities. But this may be a turn off for level 50 players.

Gold has been done... nothing special with that. But its reliable.

The special resource is what I am considering. It will be hard to obtain, but not brutally difficult like the quest should be.


Tell me what you think... please. And thanks for your time.

make it a lvl 5 ability choice or something.

at lvl 5 you could become "master of your own destiny" and it would be an ability that used up like all your mana, but it allowed you to repick all your skills (except your repick ability)

Hmm

id say a quest, an off beat side quest maybe...

example:

unit enters town give abiltiy or (types message containsing blah balh blah) move unit to a sectioned off aprt of map and have them run a trial, go threw dungeon & kill boss, or W/E and if u beat it you get to retrain, and if not, your sent back to town

i tihnk it'd be a sweet spin off then ''tome of retraining''

a random drop perhaps?
personally i don't like or use tome of retraining...simply don't need it. and if the people that play your game would use their head they wouldn't need it either.

maybe put it at a region
lets say a Monk's Temple

The person has to journey farfarfarfarfar X99999999 away to reach this area
when he reaches this place then he can reset all his abilities
but to get here maybe put sumthin like monsters, puzzles and maybe n item quest

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
