This game needs a heavy injection of stuff to do.
With that I mind I want to toss some ideas around.
ARMOR FOUNDRIES
We have them for weapons why not armour.
Maybe the radiant dance machines and no back up plans are from a foundry similar to Omolon or maybe a division of Omolon for example.
Another thing that can be introduced along with armor foundries could be aesthetic swapping also called transmogrification. It can be a reward a item maybe awarded randomly or in exchange for another item/s.
